Ok, July 2019 Difficulty 8T, price 11k January 2021 Difficulty 18T, price 30k. Growth in difficulty 225%, growth in price 300% July 2019 Difficulty 8T, price 11k July 2021 Difficulty 15T, price 32k Growth in difficulty 90%, growth in price 300% January 2019 Difficulty 5T, price 3k January 2021 Difficulty 18T, price 30k. Growth in difficulty 350%, growth in price 1000%. So again, when did the difficulty growth outpaced the price 100% to 50%? try December 2017 price 19.9k diff 1.87 t October 2018 price 6.4k diff 7.45 t So the diff went way up and the price dropped way down.

Honestly, I don't think what he is doing is necessarily a bad thing, but almost most of his posts are "defending the GPLv3 license", you would expect from someone who does that to actually fight against all parties that don't distribute the source code and that includes Bitmain and the other major manufacturers, if he won't do that, he should at least not bug every thread with these comments about the license which he himself isn't honoring by allowing the stock firmware to use his pool. Well, he is doing all that he can. He and -ck are not about to give cgminer to the FSF who are the only ones with the resources to go after violators. All he can do is 'shame' them. In the past already has made mention in their respective support threads of Bitmain, Inno, MicroBt and others violating the license but that is beating a dead horse especially since the other major developer (-ck) could care less. Canaan has been the one exception in that they DO (or least, did) publish their modified source code. That leaves nagging programmers who should know better and support the ideals of what Open Source is supposed to stand for. How would they feel if someone decompiled their code and then proceeded to make money off of it? Pretty safe bet that said programmers would be highly miffed... I don't know the Real back story as to why he simply did not decide to sue bitmain over this. Seems to me there would be enough money to interest some lawyers in some countries. I do seem to think he said something about an agreement with bitmain of some kind. That is why he allows bitmain miners on the pool. So If my crappy 64 year memory is correct then he would be okay in complaining about someone using bitmain bgminer without proper paperwork. It is why I use braiins for aftermarket. As I think it is its own code.

As a rule: If the a payment method balance can be topped up using a credit card or a bank accont, then you shouldn't use it, not when dealing with BTC anyway.
I know your post is a bit old, but I'll reply to it anyway since I'm here. What you said is true in the vast majority of cases, but there are members here who can be trusted with PayPal and other reversible payment methods--you just have to know who's trusted (and that's the hard part). For example, I've done a deal with you in the past if I'm not mistaken, and it's way past the chargeback time frame at this point. Thanks I was really going to do it but you warned me and save me thanks for your valuable information
If you're new here, you definitely shouldn't be doing PayPal deals, even if you can find someone to trade with you. Figure out who's trusted and who's not, and avoid dealing with other newbies if they're offering PayPal in exchange for bitcoin. That's a great way to get scammed. If PayPal starts letting you buy and sell bitcoin that you can deposit and withdraw, all of this should be a moot point (at least for PayPal; other reversible methods will remain risky). If someone like me with hundreds of good trust wants to pay in PayPal most likely you will be fine. But new people of people gone for years that just show up most likely you will have an issue.

I have an update: I opened a ticket in bitmain site, and they recommended to flash the SD card. so I flashed the SD card to recover the control board. Since then, not only that the second hashboard is still offline, now the other 2 hashboards that used to work, are in abnormal state and don't work at all... would someone know what to do regarding this issue? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fu.cubeupload.com%2Fshaykal%2F2021071314h2955.png&t=664&c=fP2caHai9W7YZQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fu.cubeupload.com%2Fshaykal%2F2021071416h0813.png&t=664&c=8qvKB-AGZJNPvQ) In addition to that, I opened the lid, and it looked like all the cables and wires were tight. I did try to switch the wires, and now boards 2 and 3 are online, and board 1 is offline. so I guess that's good news.... right? I hope the the problem is with the wires (or PSU) but not the hashboards. But anyway, the 2 boards that are online are in abnormal state, so the miner isn't hashing .... Does anybody know how to get these type of wires? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fu.cubeupload.com%2Fshaykal%2FWhatsAppImage2021071.jpeg&t=664&c=F1xjjm5AONpIgw) I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me additional things I could try. Thanks Shai Email them and say now it is fully bricked. You want a replacement.

No body really knows.
best answer is maybe.

Ive got another (maybe outlandish) question.
Can you run (is it efficient enough) your L3+ with a 220PSU, then use a transformer to convert to 110 for the wall hookup. I ask this because it might not be possible to add 220 where I'm at.
waste of money. the units only pull 700-900 watts. bitmain apw3++ can run these on 120 watts. the transformer that will work costs a lot do not do it.

Okay antivaxer badecker is a democratic supporter trying to trick republicans into not vaxing thus killing off republicans 19 to 1 over democrats.
Once the clever plot succeeds with variations e ,f, g ,h ,i, k
millions of antivaxing republicans will be dead and buried.
I have the inside scoop on the democrats and lefty liberals and they are winning the battle of trickery to slay and waste republicans.
at the moment 90% of democrats are vaxed and only 50% of republicans.
the plot thickens with many other cleverly disguised democrats acting as if antivaxing is the way to go.
Just watch the replies to this post denying they are doing this.
I feel sorry for my fellow republicans being trick fucked and even though I fear leftist reprisals I have decided to show and expose the clever plot they are doing.

at richy-t buddy keeps sliding down the slot of 32-34k and it is just about as boring as me talking about it.
but wtf i actually dont mind the numbers.
In several of your recent posts of the past months, your interpretation of buddy has not exactly been very deep.. .but I suppose it's all relative in the whole scheme of things... .. especially if you are claiming to serve as a blocker.. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Who am I to say? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Buddy is going to be passing me up in quantity of posts in the next couple of days.. we ONLY have a 23 post spread currently, as I type. I am at 23,105 posts and buddy is at 23,082 posts, and it seems best for me to recognize defeat and proclaim that my lead was fun while it lasted.. (for less than 6 months, I believe)... I might post a lot, but surely I cannot keep up with deeeee when active buddy. Buddy has a ways to catch up to you Phillip... maybe a few years.. perhaps? perhaps? I am developing a love hate relationship with buddy. He's boring He's persistent But the numbers he keeps hitting really work well for me. So while I would love for him to go away I don't want my mining position to suffer if he really is holding up the 32-34k slot. Can we think of a name for difficulty charts How about "diff dick" He keeps the diff going down and down again. https://diff.cryptothis.com/... Current Pace: 91.6737% (1300 / 1418.07 expected, 118.07 behind) ... Next Difficulty: between 13175558203580 and 13314407155894 Next Difficulty Change: between -8.2675% and -7.3008% Previous Retarget: July 3, 2021 at 2:25 AM (-27.9427%) ... Please Donate Bitcoin less boring at -8% @nohomo

Curious as to why you opted for MyNode as opposed to something like the RaspiBlitz or Umbrel? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Asking because I've sort of been on a bit of a mission to try them all... and was considering trying the MyNode setup (the free community edition tho) Seems that spending $100 on something that is using a lot of open-source software that is freely available and/or included in other packages like RaspiBlitz/Umbrel is unnecessary. I can certainly understand that someone might want to go with the premium package purely for the support option, so they don't have to rely on forums/telegram groups etc... but charging to get "free" features (btcpay server, Spectr, LNBits etc) from the other systems seems excessive. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) ... I am up to block 402000 this download will be under 3 days maybe 2 .
Do you not have another node you could have copied the blockchain/chainstate/indexes from? or were you wanting to see what the full IBD time would be like? In my testing with RaspiBlitz/Umbrel... copying the chain from another node cuts the initial setup time down to hours rather than days. Went slow on purpose as I want to see the time it takes for 8gb no tor vs 4gb tor. I also paid for software to get setup with less effort. I will be doing another companies. forgot name. I will also do it with free software but I have so much real stuff happening that will take a while. I will end up with at least 4 nodes for LN. I will also compare to the miner/node sold here on bit coin talk I own that one. I have it running a node but no wallets yet. So it will be a long set of reviews and info by the time I am done.

HI,
Any mining pools with the highest rewards by july 2021?
Thanks
... So a pool that makes 1 block a day with bad luck could make a block in 10 days. I saw a pool have back to back 99% cdf which is insane bad luck. about 10000 to one shot. If you pick a pplns pool that makes 1 block a day and it does that it will make 2 blocks in 20 days vs the 18 it should make. ... Reminder, however, that variance does NOT mean loss, it literally means up and down. Gain and LossSo as long as the PPLNS pool finds regular blocks, the variance over time should even out quickly. So for a pool that expects one block per day, yes you will, very rarely, average 1 in 22026.5 blocks, get times when the pool will take 10 or more days to find a block. Or, average 1 in 148.4 blocks, get times when the pool will take 5 or more days to find a block. But the reverse is also true, the pool will, average 1 in 1.59 blocks, take less than a day also, that will, over time, average out to close to one block a day, with the longer blocks. And of most importance, this doesn't mean you will always be behind. The pool will have times, both when you will be ahead, and times when you will be behind. Of course, there is no factor involved in mining that will correct the luck from 'good to even' or from 'bad to even' but over time it is expected to average out close to one block per 100% The main difference in fees between PPS and PPLNS is that a PPS pool is required to charge higher fees. Of course, this doesn't mean that all PPLNS pools charge lower fees. And ... the most relevant case of this is Antpoo who's PPLNS fees are very high. Info about expected pool block finding statistics: https://kano.is/index.php?k=poissonAntpool is wicked bad with fees. If you have decent hash say 1000 ph. You can do 80% viabtc and 20% kano.is Or some other smaller pool. If 80-20 is hard do 90-10 I do 1500 to 20 with viabtc 1500 and mmpool 20 you can get hot with the higher variance pools. This is much how my wife and I invest. 75-80% in very safe bonds 20-25% in mining btc,ltc/doge,eth.

HI,

Yeah this is a naive question. You want pools that pay and don't steal. You want to measure the variance issue. What is that. In the short run a pplns pool payout will have variance. In theory in the long run it won't be much. So a pool that makes 1 block a day with bad luck could make a block in 10 days. I saw a pool have back to back 99% cdf which is insane bad luck. about 10000 to one shot. If you pick a pplns pool that makes 1 block a day and it does that it will make 2 blocks in 20 days vs the 18 it should make. Now on the other hand a pool like viabtc.com uses pps+ and you get a certain number every day based on your hash rate. I have 1000th at viabtc it is playing me 1000 x 0.00000895 = 0.00895 every day like clock work. compared to the other pool I never have bad luck. but on the average my pay out is a bit less. Unless the variance driven pool has shit luck month after month. I do not want to deal with variance so I mine at viabtc.com I do point 20th at mmpool.org if I win a block there I will make some nice money but It has been years since I hit one there.

I have gotten accustomed to the bitcointalk forum to certain degree since my time here. I have noticed something in the forum, I won't be pointing fingers at anyone but I believe most will agree with me that there is a high probability factor that people give merit to those who merited them in the past, therefore creating a merit ring. You can easily discover such people from their merit summary. This could simply be a coincidence or I'm just imagining things. But if this is true, then such individuals are cheating the system and us unfair to others who take time to put in the work to develop good discussions and topics. Reading this there is no clear or postulated indicator that credits a post merit worthy. The system only demands quality spots, and quality posts is subjective to the reader. I think this is misused by those farming accounts. Without the merit system, I can't imagine what the forum would look like. There won't even be any interesting subjects to talk about just shit posts flooding every board. Nah the problem is your interpretation. I have been here since 2012 I know a few hundred posters very well. I don't know you very well at all. So if I see your name I won't go to click on you. Unless the thread title looks interesting. I clicked here today because the title caught my eye. This thread is short right now and I can tell you I know 85% of the posters on it. They know me and if they like what I say I will get a point/merit. I could not care less about merits anymore I have 1000's of them. Many earned. Plus 1000 given since I was here a long time. I know I write good posts. So if it was always a merit system from 2012 I would likely have earned 2000 not the 1000 they gave us. legendary members. I liked the title enough to give you a merit. SO I will now read your posts and see if you should get more points. Its hard to catch my eye if you are a newbie but if you look you will see I gave more than 100 newbies their first merited Edit: I just read all 43 of your posts. You write really well. So well I would say you are an alt and not a newbie. But I did promise you a merit for the title of this thread. So I gave it to you. And checking the posters here I know 8 of them I know they effort good work and I know that I have given all of them a merit or 2. I also know they have given me merits. As for the op your english posts are really good. and my wife helped me with your spanish posts. You do a lot of quality posts. Really good ones. I will be looking for your name the next few weeks.

Depending on how deep you are into the nonsense, sometimes it can take a bit of focus to ween ur lil selfie from ...
appreciate... Perhaps? perhaps?
That's a start... you seem to be in your early stages, but it likely would be better practice if you present your internal dialogue about such stupid-ass shitcoin privately, in order that by the time you come to this here thread, you don't need to mention such shitcoin(s), except perhaps in passing. We (perhaps royal?) be talking about king daddy here. Rome was not built in a day. True ... monetary system. Bitcoin is not special in the sense of increasing in fiat value, take a look at all the other assets out there vs the fiat currency. It's just that Bitcoin is a small market so growth is going to maximise returns compared to other assets hence we will get richer than others. And, in a world where goverments are going all 1984 on us, Bitcoin has that other benefit of not being able to be confiscated. If you have been in bitcoin for about s.. but if you have a goal of the wife to stop working before you, accomplishing that would be showing that you are getting closer and closer to "fuck you" status. We're going to be sideways at $33k until October... I have the most terrible feeling...
You are wrong quite frequently, so there is that angle, too. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) If we stay in the 32-34 groove with very low diff rise. Would not that be the definition of stable price level. Many said this time is different. So a six month flat like line for price say 32-36k and diff fluxing down to 13.5 and slowly back to 17,5 by october seems more and more likely. lack of chips = no selling op for asic builders Like it or not bitmain is a 4way whale gear building gear sales self mining cloud mining ops with OPM and of course none of us know their coin holdings anymore. They used to have over 200k coins
