yeah I would say 150 is good. not 200 and certainly not 300

I have seen 6600 new cards at 399 and lower they would be better.

heck I would sell him 5500xt at 250 he would be better off.

this ebay seller has 5500xt at 309
https://www.ebay.com/itm/275257442823?

I could sell some at 250 if the buyer was USA based.
7362  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Prefix Difficulty Calculator c# assistance please! Base code included in post. on: April 07, 2022, 06:50:36 PM

If, however, you would search for "tt", the difficulty drops by 75% because you're now searching for 4 different prefixes:
Code:
./vanitygen 1tt   
Difficulty: 78508
./vanitygen -i 1tt
Difficulty: 19627
./vanitygen 1tt 1TT 1tT 1Tt
Next match difficulty: 19627 (4 prefixes)


Perfectly explained.

In other words, if you have case sensitive difficulty X, case insensitive difficulty will be X/(2^(number of [a-z] characters)).
1t 1T - 2^1 = 2 possibilities
1tT 1TT 1tt 1tT = 2^2 = 4 possibilities
1TTT 1TTt 1TtT 1Ttt 1tTT 1tTt 1ttT 1ttt = 2^3 = 8 possibilities etc.

so 1-9 and o,i & L are excluded right?
so as 1oojoo1 -i really is simply put = 444223305269
Thanks, maybe I was overthinking it.
solution= Diff/(2^(number of [a-z] characters)
so 1oojoo1= 888446610539
with -i/-c = 444223305269

Moving on from the case insensitive formula questions here's a different issue I'm encountering.

PawGo, I know how the script works I came up with it and overgril parsed it up, but somethings wrong with it because it excludes 16/32 pivots and it's doing a wrong operation /58 and *58 somewhere in it.  , I need to understand the pivots better
why does.

1QLbz6=264,104,224
but due to a pivot I don't understand
1QLbz7=837,596,142

VanitySearch doesn't calculate this correctly. (I've basically learned all I know on B58 off JLVS deconstruction)
Vanitygen does , however I don't understand how the conclusions are met,
https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/blob/master/pattern.c
what in the witchcraft is PCRE? (https://www.pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcre_exec.html)
can you help me simplify this in the same way you did this  
Quote
X/(2^(number of [a-z] characters))

If I'm using JLVS calculation method and come to the conclusion  that 1QLbz7 = 264,104,224 thats a miscalculation and will cost me.




Curious as to the amount of gear has to run to do what you do.

Also Could a remote miner be added?

Ie I have a rig with 11x rtx  a4500 cards and 1x rtx a5000 cards. could it pool to your setup?
I also have 2 rigs with 12x rtx a4000 cards

I know your state is nowhere near NJ but if the project could allow remote rigs to tie in you could do 10 or 12 custom  vs 7

I've exhausted all the electricity i can use in my house that i'm renting. The landlord won't let me upgrade the panel so i'm seeking for an alternate way to mine.

i need to find a way to mine with about 3800W power. (Moving is not an option for a year or 2).


Would i be able to mine with a gas or gasoline generator in my basement with  no vent?
Do people rent a storage to mine? i'm located in michigan.


yes and you will die from the fumes.

also the basement will over heat as 3800 watts = about 19000 btus.

What gear is it that you want to mine with?

if it is gpus rigs for eth this belongs in alt coins.

BTW 3800 watts for eth makes decent coin. maybe as much as 1.7gh which is  85-90 a day pre power cost.

As usual, the difficulty estimator goes down at the start of the period, only to slowly crawl back up, now we have the price go down, rinse and repeat.

7365  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 265 blocks solved! on: April 06, 2022, 07:40:09 PM
~snip~

he would be better off pointing 1.15 ph to a legit pool that pays steady and 0.05 ph to ck- solo or better yet to Laurentia Pool


that pool was created by ck and has only 3 miners on it.

Is that Laurentia Pool solo? I haven't seen it. And why would it be better to use that one instead of ck-solo?

it is not solo. it is an actual pool.  but when a block is hit you spilt with few players. ie you get a lot of coin say 1 or 2 btc.

https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/miners

https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/work

note I am btc addy 146xxxxxx if any of us hit a block I get 1.15 btc

I point 200 th here and 1800th on a fast steady payout pool

so for 200th I have a shot at 1.18 btc every day.

i use a paid off eth gpu rig mining at nice hash it earns 0.0011 btc a day i then rent 200th at nice hash and point it to Laurentia pool .  my power cost  for the gpu rig is 48 k-watts  at 13 cents or $6.50 a day I have a reasonable shot at collecting 1 block every 3 years say 1000 days . 1000 x 6.50 = 6500 power spent  in 3 years . about 40% we hit a block

and in the meantime my 1.8ph collects regular.

if you project out to 6 years about 80% shot I hit a block with the pool. I spend 13000 to collect 1.1 btc which is over 50k

this is a high risk high yield investment plan where the math favors profit.  ie investing not gambling.

you can still lose money doing it. but the math say you should profit.
7366  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 265 blocks solved! on: April 06, 2022, 02:22:05 AM
Would you guys solo mine if you had about 1.2PH or still mine in a pool? I am sure it depends on risk tolerance but curious on people taught on this.

1.2PH is TOO MUCH to gamble with, and yet TOO SMALL to win blocks at somehow consistent time intervals, it's most certainly a terrible idea to gamble with 240$ worth of Bitcoin every day unless you think gambling is good for you.

This of course changes if you had like 50PH and 1PH was just 2% of your hashrate and you want to play with it, just like how most of us here do, the majority of hashrate is pointed to a pool that would give us somehow a stable income, and a bit of the hashrate is pointed to solo pool merely for fun/gambling given the low chances.

The short answer is: It's a terrible idea.

he would be better off pointing 1.15 ph to a legit pool that pays steady and 0.05 ph to ck- solo or better yet to Laurentia Pool


that pool was created by ck and has only 3 miners on it.

It wouldn't be much of an issue if the paper wasn't rolled over but was settled at close.

What's 'close' in the Bitcoin world?

yeah true never really closes. 



but the 10x 20x 50x 100x leverage  exchanges are fucked up. With a few whales acting together they can move price far too much. And not suffer huge losses.
7368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining rig burning smell! on: April 06, 2022, 12:24:45 AM
Ok, my 2000W psu is dead!
Just during a reboot of my rig, anything turned off, but no strange smells.
Then i tried to temporary connect another psu to the mobo only and the system turned on, so it's surely the 2000W psu that stopped working.
Now i have to wait for the new psus to arrive, before restart my rig. Sad
Do you think that some of the gpus may be damaged after this issue?
The model of my broken psu is:
"Crypto Mining Xpert 2000W" and it is Chinese because I see several writings with Chinese characters.

maybe your gpus are good. my fingers are crossed for you.
7369  Economy / Economics / Re: Read If you are between 18 and 68 years old! on: April 06, 2022, 12:16:42 AM
Under 18 you can’t really invest. And over 68 depending on your health issues, money is going to be the last thing on your mind.

Between 18-68 is a huge span that covers most people. Besides me and a handful of other people I know. Most boomers which were middle class, never invested or traded unless it was some retirement account.

It’s too complicated for them so they just let their financial adviser invest their savings. With millennials it’s different because most are good with computers. And looking at wallstreetbets Reddit you can see how many made good money doing so.

I disagree you can invest at the age of 10 in many countries. If you have a smart parent.

68 is old to start, but not that old A lot  depends on your goals at that age.

7 years of investing at a good item (what ever that so called good item is ) can yield quite a bit of uptick for you investment.

1000 for 7 years is 7000 at .0000001 % gain

but at 15% gain

1000 year 1 = 2660
1000 year 2 = 2313
1000 year 3 = 2011
1000 year 4 = 1749
1000 year 5 = 1520
1000 year 6 = 1322
1000 year 7 = 1150
7000 invested is  12725.  not terrible ask any 68 year old if he would do that

and if he puts it up in first year do dca it is 18620 not bad for 7000

of course no way does anyone know if any investment does 15%




i dont think 60 years old have future financial plans lol so i dont think your range is accurate
moron

Moron is crude

 how about a lack of understanding of life ?

I am 65 and have quite a few plans. I look at the oldest male in my family = 94 with good health to 92

many other males deep into their 80's with good health.



 I have

S2F is not significantly or materially disrupted, yet..

Sure S2F might be delayed or it might need to be adjusted.. but it is not disrupted.


#justsaying


delayed or adjusted  == disrupted. Tongue

Hahahaha

Fair enough..

We can disagree on that point, even though it is a fairly reasonable semantical point....

You may have already noticed that I have a bit of triggering in me when I just get somewhat irritated by some of the prematurity of the attacks (and denigrations) on the S2F model, and perhaps PlanB brought some of these kinds of attacks on the model upon himself when he has been making claims (even in much of 2020 when the BTC price was underperforming the model's expectations) that if x price does not occur by y date then S2F is broken and blah blah blah nonsense (then he was making similar kinds of claims in late 2021 that if certain BTC prices are not met by certain dates then the S2F model is broken.. blah blah blah).... .

I'm not one of those to jump on a bandwagon, feel free to go back and check my history.

I have said STF was broken from day 1.

It does not take into account the institutional fuckery going on.

Derivatives and fractional reserve naked shorting are skimming off by my guess 15-20% of the cap across the board (which btw is about how much out of wack stf is on a cursory glance) and if people do not stop supporting the actors that are doing this it will only get worse until bitcoin is manipulated just like gold and that is what the scumbag bankers ultimate goal is in this space.

Paper
bitcoin is their goal to our detriment and that was not satoshi's dream.

"BTC is manipulated just like gold". It is a double edged sword. You want some ability to maneuver shift and trade it, but an exchange at 20x leverage or more is hurting it by allowing too much push in the wrong direction at a smaller cost.

Intel Launches New Bitcoin Mining Chips Focused on Sustainability

That doesn't make sense. If efficient chips are cheap, miners will just buy more of them and consume more energy.
If the chips are expensive, I bet producing them costs a lot of energy. One way or another, the sum of money spent on hardware and electricity will depend on how much money there is to be made mining.

Going from 27.5 or 31 J/TH to 26 J/TH doesn't really do much for sustainability anyway.

It is a closed-loop, energy-conserved system. If Intel releases mining chips that are more efficient (i.e., consume less energy per terahash) than conventional chips, miners will simply buy more such chips to make use of the resulting energy surplus. Difficulty will increase, reaching a new equilibrium, where the total energy used will get back to where it was before Intel's chips. The only way to limit energy usage is by legislation, i.e. somehow making it illegal to exceed an upper energy threshold when mining Bitcoin, effectively putting a cap on Bitcoin's price. As long as miners are allowed to use all energy available to them for mining, they will (and Bitcoin's price will increase accordingly). Whether that energy is powering GPUs or ASICs is irrelevant.

The reason Bitcoin mining uses more energy now than 10 years ago is not because of ASICs or new technology. It's simply because 10 years ago miners didn't care so much about Bitcoin and thus did not want to use a lot of energy. That's why price was so low then and is so high now. The more energy the network uses, the higher Bitcoin's value becomes. Limiting energy used for mining is equivalent to limiting Bitcoin price from increasing.

It's called Proof of Work for a reason. It's all about energy transfer. Electrical energy to "monetary" energy (value), and, according to the 1st law of thermodynamics, energy is conserved. Limit one, and you limit the other.

yep pretty close to exactly correct.

and the deviation from you description says that governments are supposed to do is not tax mining profits from solar powered mining.  thus creating a huge amount of solar which is green.

stills fits your description and ends up with a world filled with solar. from 40 lat north to 40 lat south.

but with oil interests abounding and actually owning most of the solar patterns it is not going to happen.

Hi guys,

It looks like my PSU is dead, as when I turn on the machine (1246 85T) I just hear a clicking sound.

I disassembled the PSU but I found nothing burned, the fuse is okay.

Do you have any repairing suggestions?

I hope you have 230VAC mains supply for it, do you?

yeah if you run at 208-215 volts it is harder on the psu.

worse yet is a power dip or brownout to 185-195 volts as the psu will try to run and eventually hurt itself.

https://www.amazon.it/dp/B06W2GJDRJ?psc=1&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp
What do you think?
Thanks again for your great help guys!
Smiley

that is a good one.

it has six slots or jacks that will take pcie cables or cpu cables.

so 1 cable cpu goes in one slot or jack

and you can use five pcie cables for pcie

it will allow for 5 cables either single or double ended .

you can draw a steady 850-900 watts.

if you have two of them one can do the cpu and five cables for gpus
the other can do all six cables for gpus.

so you can run. 11 gpus each pulling about 150 watts or less.

I got a link for spare pcie cables I will look for it.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0979Y7F86/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2ZUCH4AFFNDHF&psc=1

they should be good for the hx1200

if i remember the psu will come with 2 cpu cables and 4 pcie cables

so you will need a few of these cables to fully use the psu’s

do you have a kill-a-watt-meter?


https://www.amazon.it/multifunzione-monitoraggio-apparecchiature-elettriche-sovraccarico/dp/B08V4RQZQL/ref=sr_1_16?

they help to know how you are drawing power.

the psu you purchased should stay under 900 watts on the meter for long term runs.
