1  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What to do when grid power fluctuates? on: September 21, 2025, 10:33:17 PM
Main point to keep in mind is that when sizing ANYTHING electrical is that you must NEVER have a constant long-term load exceeding 80% of what the device (or wire) is rated. This applies to wiring, circuit breakers, stabilizers/UPS's, ect. The short form is to take your miners' maximum power rating and add 20% more then pick a stabilizer rated for at least that power, preferably substantially higher. eg for a miner rated 3,500w the stabilizer should be rated for at least 4,200w.

^^  >99% of the time cloud mining is a Ponzie scam. I am unaware of ANY legit ones. You *might* initially see some rewards (actually paid from new fools signing up) but sooner or later the company either disappears, changes their payout terms to make it unprofitable at all for you (Bitdeer does that), or otherwise screws you.

Hosting can work if you use a reputable company with good rates for the power used and can afford to buy the gear to run with them.

What about immersion cooling?
If you had bothered to read this thread you would have seen that, yes, they are immersion ready.
Very low noise but you still need to get rid of the heat.

Show proof/examples and a repo location.

f they allocate the total profit from a successfully mined block to the particular node that hashed that block, then what happens to the transactions fees that they are accumulate?
any DECENT pool will include all tx fees as part of their distribution.

Will the pool continue to run Core or will it go to Knots?
Don't see knots as a needed option. Query: Why would you think the pool should change to it?
From his past and present interactions with them, Luke Jr has ticked off many of the OG devs. Also doesn't help that his bgminer is a ripoff of cgminer...
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: found old HDD from 2012. reactivated it on 25 july, then crashed. wallet inside? on: September 08, 2025, 08:05:57 PM
Is the drive a bootable one or just a data drive?
Being from 2012 any mining would have been using Bitcoin core and CPU miner or maybe the later GPU version (which btw is what -ck and Kano later based cgminer on). Dedicated FPGA (no ASICs yet) were pricey so doubt those were not used. Either way you need to find the wallet.dat file as that where any coin addresses will be found.

Also does not help that you use yandex.ru
Anyone using a Russian services provider is right out for me.

Old news... It was a very large rental on solo.ckpool a 2 days ago. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237323.msg65756404#msg65756404 As said before, it is NOT exactly a rare event.

The replies you get here are to slow & can be inaccurate.
Slow is true, inaccurate - bull. When a post has invalid info it is soon corrected by folks with better knowledge on the subject.

AI is instant & can give answers to your questions in great detail.
And regarding even what should be very basic questions, AI answers are also VERY often embarrassingly WRONG.
eg, Q: "What is bitcoin mining?"  Usual answer is "mining involves using specialized computers to solve complex mathematical equations" which is 100% wrong - BTC miners are brute-forcing a solution using gazillions of sequential random guesses, there is no equation solving involved.

Without someone to step in to say, 'ehem... that ain't right' you can be pursuing incorrect solutions.

No. All it does is reduce the number of shares being reported to the pool. That in turn makes it harder for the pool to determine what work dif to send to a miner causing wider variance.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fiat currency VS Bitcoin on: August 30, 2025, 10:15:33 PM
But I can say that there will come a time when Bitcoin will be the most used currency, because as time goes by, fiat money is decreasing. Now people are afraid to carry paper money and go on the streets because there is a high chance of getting robbed, using Bitcoin is the safest because the passenger sitting next to you will never know if you have Bitcoin.
We are moving towards the future and using modern transactions more, it can be Bitcoin or we complete transactions by numbers, so the use of fiat currency is decreasing.
Personally, if you are afraid to carry fiat I'd move to a different area or country or at least take some self-defense courses...

In the US I have zero fears about carrying fiat. That does not mean that robberies don't happen here - of course they do but is it is definitely NOT a widespread problem and in any given city, given the huge numbers of people in them is actually pretty uncommon.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can 100 billionaires buy total supply of 90% BTC? on: August 30, 2025, 01:31:27 AM
@OP: you do know that when talking about millionaires/billionaires they do NOT have that amount in cash right? The vast majority of their wealth is in various holdings - stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. To do what you are thinking of would require them to sell off most if not all of their holdings to then buy BTC with the proceeds and that is *not* ever going to happen.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Security on: August 29, 2025, 06:10:47 PM
Since the OP seems to ignore the DOZENS of existing threads on this very subject and decided to create yet another one - ignore button now active.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could AI Analyzing the Entire Bitcoin Blockchain Create a Surveillance Risk? on: August 28, 2025, 10:22:10 PM
I really don't care. BTC was never intended to be private and folks who have an issue with that should find a different coin to use.
16  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoinity Down for good? on: August 28, 2025, 10:12:38 PM
I do hope that it is not shut down. Bitcoinity has been my go-to for checking prices even since I started in BTC so very long ago.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I'm new, please ask for advice. on: August 28, 2025, 05:08:15 PM
For a start, I suggest you 1st go to Beginners and Help area and look around there.

2: This area is for Bitcoin only - NO altcoins. Go to Mining (Altcoins) for for discussions about Kaspra miners.

3: Check out the LOCAL areas to find one in your native language.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen if bitcoin transactions became anonymous like Monero tomorrow? on: August 25, 2025, 08:12:28 PM
Not going to happen. What part of BTC using a public blockchain do you not understand? Change that and it would become just another crapcoin fork and no longer would be Bitcoin.
19  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon Q error #03 - fan fail on: August 23, 2025, 08:41:14 PM
Glad to hear it  Cheesy Merit given for getting back with results.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is in danger, do you agree? on: August 23, 2025, 08:24:25 PM
@OP: please read and comment in one of the NUMEROUS existing threads on this. We don't need yet another...  Roll Eyes

And personally, myself and many many other knowledgeable folks here do NOT think it is imminent danger from QC. Yes eventually something will need to be done in the coming decades but not right now.
