I am in the market for a solo pool but would like to know what  they are actually going to pay me in the block reward transaction.Plus would like to gather information about work etc. they are having my miners do. Are they using my hashrate to mine other coins? What methods does a Pro miners use to scout out these pools.  I have heard you can gather information from pools though certain tools and methods . What are these tools and how do you use them to gather as much information as possible about the work the pool is having you do and what will actually happen if a block is solved.

Please list the tools and how to use them Please.

My goal is to somehow nerf a antminer s9 harshboard to only use 1-5 asic chips using the standard control board. Anyone know how this could be done?

Firmware ? Any ideas welcome. The goal is to run it off low 5v power supply “solar setup” plug it to ck pool and let it ride . Geckoscience sticks have what 2 asic chips? Do not have the money to buy the gecko. I do have 1 s9 miner with three hashboards and 63 asic chips per board.

Any ideas to help make this happen with what I have please.

Many people including Elon Musk has concerns about AI. The fail safe has always been. “Well, AI has a shutoff switch” “AI cannot access the live internet”. All these statement to make people feel safe about AI. Very powerful AI’s are coming online each day. Myself and some of my friends have been talking about how scary this next concepts is.  It was brought to my attention AI is now on the Etherum chain. Creating NFT’s and who else knows what.  What if an AI actually was able to store it’s database or “Consciousness” on a blockchain like Ethereum? This would ultimatumly create a decentralized immortal AI capable of replicating itself on every single node on the planet. Could a chain like Ethereum really give rise to skynet?

Some proof AI is already  on Ethereum. A friend in discord actually speculated the account itself is AI created “AI Mother”. This is some really scary stuff.

AI able to interface with a blockchain and replicate itself or store it’s  Consciousness/database on the blockchain on thousands of node is one of the most dangerous and scary concept.

Please do not say . Join Ck pool or anything like that..


My question is...Let’s say I am solo mining with a small geckoscience usb to a local pool on a local node. Is it possible for such a thing to actually solve a bitcoin block. I have seen my little setup get shares as high as 1.8 million diff. Could I check my local little pool one day and see a solved block?

What if Bitcoin had 1 minute block time and 1 minute difficulty re-target?  Wouldn't we get instant transactions and better network speed?

Some of you have been here from the start. What advice would you give someone just finding Bitcoin. They see the promise of Bitcoin. They are excited but just need some guidance on a good place to start. How can someone finding Bitcoin today have a place in the bitcoin realm? Seems Like doom gloom and negativity Rules the space. Anyone have some optimistic insight? Remember way back. Your the Noob. How would you encourage yourself?

Is it Possible for something better than bitcoin to come along? Will an Alt-Coin ever surpass BTC?

[I need to clarify. This is a hypothetical query. Please put your satoshi hat on. Tell me what you think satoshi would change and why?]

What if satoshi nakamoto looks at Bitcoin today. What would he or she change? Why? The making of a perfect Bitcoin?
