BlackRock ليست اول شركة تحاول الحصول على موافقة ال SEC للحصول على BTC SPOT ETF وجرت العادة ان مثل هده الاخبار ماهي الا بداية لي هبوط عنيف في السعر حيث ان صغار المستتمرين يحاولون ان يشترو البتكوين ضننا منهم ان سعرها سوف يعانق السماء بمجرد قبول الطلب, ومن ثم يحدث الهبوط ولا يتم قبول الطلب ويتم نسيانه بعد بضعة اشهر وكأن شيء لم يكن, لذلك يجب عدم التسرع وتوقع ارتفاع السعر فقط بناء على مثل هده الاخبار.

Or maybe just abuse them till they die  , personally, I did not have much difference between running those low-quality gears cold vs hot, they all died way too soon.



Mind sharing where you got those numbers from? I am almost certain that no Antminer 17 series miner could run for over an hour at anything near 110-120c, let alone 135c.

اتفق معك اخي خالد, الاغلبية يريدون ان يكسبو المال من اول يوم لهم في المنتدى وينتهي بهم المطاف الى الحظر الدائم او عدم الحصول على المال ومغادرة المنتدى مع الوقت, لقد امضيت سنة او سنتين في المنتدى قبل ان افكر حتى التفكير في كسب المال منه عن طريق حملات التوقيع, كنت استخدم قسم البيع والشراء فقط, اما بخلاف ذلك كان تركيزي كله على التعلم ومشاركة ماتعلمته, عند تفكيري في بدء الكسب من المنتدى نظرا لاني اقوم بالمشاركة على اي حال, وفقني الله في دخول اشهر واقوا حملة توقيع في وقتها, وعندما انتهت تلك الحملة, لم اتوقف عن المشاركة حتى تحصلت على فرصة اخرى مع الحملة المنظم اليها الان.

الخلاصة, عليك التركيز على بناء حسابك وهدا الامر يحتاج الى سنة على اقل تقدير, عندها يمكنك التفكير في كسب المال, بخلاف ذلك فأنت تبحت في المكان الخطاء.

لقد قمت بتعديل مسارات الصور وهي الان تظهر بشكلها طبيعي, يمكنك التعليق هنا ان كنت لازال تواجه صعوبة في رؤية الصور, بالنسبة للموضوع اعتقد انه قديم نسبيا وقد ويحتاج لتحديث نظرا لتغير بعض الخصائص في موقع نايس هاش نفسه, لذلك ارجو من اي شخص يلاحظ ان الارشادات الحالية لا تتماشى مع الواقع ان يخبرني بتعليق في هدا الموضوع لكي اقوم بتعديله فأنا لم استخدم موقع نايس هاش منذ فترة طويلة.

Would love that too, but I think it's asking for too much as far as this year is concerned, but ya, 45k BTC would certainly make life a lot easier.


Well sadly this isn't the case anymore



still a bit early to judge anyway, but ya, those 1-3% jumps will be the norm until one of the large players starts feeling the pain, I believe that 60-65T difficulty will be the limit for this price range, we are not way too far from that, so we will find out in a few months.

Not sure why you think the data from the miner to the pool is irrelevant, I think it requires more computational resources than the former, and the block template/work sent by the pool is nearly identical to all miners (with some pre-determined minor changes), the submitted shares need to be checked individually and thus probably require a lot more resources.

So while the "traffic size" from the pool to the miner is larger, the "computation power" is higher for the return route, correct me if am wrong.

With that said, we are talking about a few hundred bytes exchanged every "MERKLE_REFRESH_INTERVAL" which is probably 30/60 seconds for most pools, any decent pool should be able to handle hundreds of thousands of miners regardless of their hashrate, I am not aware of any mining pool that requires a minimum hashrate, they all have minimum difficulty and that's all about it, you can mine with a Pentium 1 CPU if you wish, it's all just matter of getting any valid hashes or not.

On a side but related note, posting consecutive posts is against the form rules and might get your posts deleted if someone reports them or a mod sees them, please edit the first post to include the other 2 replies and delete those.

Good luck.

I think 0.2th - 0.25th is and will be for a good period of time enough hashrate to reasonably connect to any mining pool, it's completely fine if I get a valid share every 5 mins instead of every 5 seconds, the pool manages its resources through share difficulty and the hashrate of the device is irrelevant to them, they maintain certain traffic between their server and your miner/proxy by raising/lowering the difficulty.

Now the real question is, what is the price tag? I know you said you don't know, for you to get answers you need to find the answer to that question first, i might be interested in buying a few if it was $50, maybe buy 1-2 if it was $100, ditch the idea altogether if it was $200, so ya, sadly, it all boils down to the price.

Indeed, I am not saying nicehash is worthless, or that people should not use it nor am i promoting another service, this topic is not even intended for how and what you should use nicehash for, this topic was to "expose" the marketing lies made by nicehash, which also reflects well to all other hash rental services, i find it annoying that when just so happen that some other x sha256 coin is paying well and suddenly NH is paying 6% more than mining directly to a BTC pool, you see NH posting that shit all over the internet, bragging about how you will make more profit when you mine to their service.

On the other hand, when THEY are paying 20% or 30% LESS than the average pool, they keep silent and don't mention anything about it, I am not asking for too much, not expecting them to come out and say (we are paying less now, use something else), all am asking is for them to stop doing these marketing lies, in other words, to keep their mouths shut in all cases, including those of which they pay more.

If any thinks that's a fine way of promoting your pool, then any pool that gets a lucky streak for 24 hours and post on their Twitter and here about how they pay 20% more than the average pool, and then on another day when they pay only 80% they act as it has never happened and everything that is left for the newbies to see is that "we are paying 20% more" which was true for x period of time, but despite it being accurate then, it is still a marketing lie.

Pretty wrong to refer to power consmption as X wat per X time, so this part


It is either just MW or MWh (mw hour), only the latter cab be linked to time, you probably want to decide which unit to use so that you can strengthen your position and be taken seriously.

Now, with all the things in the post, you are likely going to need a solid proof first, then, try to reach out to independent media in your country, it would be more affective than just posting here.

Hope you find other people here who are willing to support your case.

It could have flashed the firmware but just so happened that it is the same version, to confirm if it went through or not, you would check your pool settings (should go back to default settings) and the miner's ip settings (back to dhcp).

Try BraiinOS, it should boot from the sdcard without flashing to nand.

But in the first kernel log he posted it was not showing 0 asic for the bad hashboard, which is why we started talking about the EPROM, if shows 0 asic then that is a different story, it is likely the hashboard is dead and needs repair, in other words, it is unlikely to be software related.

Wait, the new logs you posted is telling a different story from the one in the op


This shows that the 3rd chain is dead, in the op it was chain 0 ( labeled 1 in the GUI), did you swap these two hashboards?

All legal stuff aside and assuming you got that handled, the real question is (how much power can you use?) This is will be the most important factor to decide what gears you should buy, buying just whatever is cheapest is a terrible idea, when you answer this question I can suggest a few models that would fit you best.

This could very well be an EPROM related issue, it would have been very helpful if you were able to install custom firmware on this type of control board, there is probably a way to get in using SSH or something else, I'd try to contact BrianOS and Vnish folks (AwsomeMiner to ASIC.to) and ask if they have a way to burn their firmware on this weird control board.

Custom firmware ignores that voltage setting stored in the EPROM and can many times fix such issues, if there is no option, you are going to need a pro to fix it, they will probably start by copying the hex from a good board to the bad one.

It was 2.17% , the last 60 blocks were found pretty slow, slow enough to bring the pace from 103.3% to 102.17%, either bad luck or a lot of hashrate left at the end of the epoch, still 2% is a lot of new gears, price has fallen slightly below 25k, overall, a bad month for miners compared to the a few previous months.

Indeed, and that's a very risky bet to be completely honest, I mean, we all are betting on the price to go up long term, and that's pretty fine, but betting on both price and time has some serious consequences if x doesn't happen before y is asking for too much, they are going to need a price jump BEFORE the halving, none of these large guys will be doing fine post halving, and then it's only a matter of time before the great collapse if the price doesn't make up for the halving.

It will be fun to watch to watch these things unfold.

How do you know your miner is connecting to a server in the U.S when you use other pools? It could be connecting to EU server since most pools have one there, besides the U.S is rather large, servers located in the east side of the country will have lower ping time than those in the west (as far as EU and Africa is concerned).

That p.s many other technical reasons that could affect your ping results,  114 is pretty decent, way better than my average for sure, don't worry at all, keep mining.

It's highly unlikely to be an ISP related issue, it's mainly about your geographical location and the distance between your miner and the pool's server, someone who lives next door to wherever the server is located will have less latency then someone with 10x faster internet connection but lives on the other side of the world.

As far as I know CKpool has a single server in the U.S, the other large pools have different servers in different locations which is probably why you are getting better results in terms of "ping", but, you need to be really far and have a shitty connection to have a ping high enough that would affect your mining operations, it isn't exactly accurate to just ping a pool's website, but it's good enough to get some results, so if you ping Ckpool and it doesn't take more than 200ms or so, you are good.

I personally tried mining to a PPS pool while being behind a VPN of another country in a different continent, mining to a pool in a completely different continent on the other side of the planet, and my rejected/stale shares were close to zero, the overall ping for that route was no less than 300-400ms and it was all good, I am not telling you it's perfectly safe to mine with 300ms, most pool operators won't take the risk of giving the green light because nobody wants to be held responsible, so they will generally tell you to try and keep it below 200ms (most of them won't even give you a number, to begin with), but based on my own personal experience, you will be good with up to 300ms, if you could bring it down to 30ms, ya even better, if not -- still works.

Different ports handle pool difficulty differently, there is no way your miner would work better/worse just because of that, using high difficulty means fewer shares reported to the pool but every share is worth more, reported hashrate will fluctuate when you use high diff on a slow gear, eventually it will catch up and average out, but it would be pretty normal to see a 100th gear reports 500th and then 5th, but that doesn't change the fact that it's nothing but a 100th gear.

You and the pool want something in between, something reasonable, not too low that submits every share every ms and puts stress on the server, your router, and everything involved, also not something too large, where your miner needs 30 mins to find a share above the set difficulty and gives you all those wired readings and then you don't know what's the real hashrate your miner is getting.

Note that, all of that has exactly no effect on your chances of hitting a block, any share that hits a block would be greater than the difficulty set by any port/pool, but to ensure a smooth operation, always just use the ports specified by the pool operator, if it tells you port x is for rental, it really means it's for rental, using it to mine directly could create issues along the way.

It could go up if the difficulty affect is greater than whatever interest they pay for the gear, right? I mean if difficulty is 1 and you need 1 S19 that uses 100$ to mine 1 BTC then your bare cost is $100, if difficulty jumps to 2, you will need 2*19s to make 1 BTC OR run the same S19 for twice the time which also means double cost, so in that case the bare cost is $200.

I believe it will only get worse for them because the difficulty increases more than they can afford to expand, a 10% increase might be 9% from other players and only 1% comes from your company, in order for them not to be affected by the difficulty they will have to keep adding gears every 2 weeks that matches whatever the overall network increase, I would imagine at such scale it would be pretty difficult to accomplish.

Mara has at least 13.5EH, to match the next 3% spike they need to add 0.4EH or 2,857 S19 XPs and 8MW worth of power, there is no way they can keep doing that every difficulty epoch, so until all those large players sit together and decide to stop taking away from their own profit, they will keep making things worse for each other, if they add gears they increase their debt and loans they have to pay, if they don't, they will make less BTC and that will increase the overall cost of their operations, I don't see how things can get better without either a difficulty drop or a price increase.
