1  Bitcoin / Pools / Mining Pool Software - Running Your Own Pool on: February 19, 2023, 02:38:11 PM
I have been running a mining pool at home for a while now (MiningCore - LOVE it), and it's used only for home mining (only in-house mining) and I'm interested in trying another pool software.  We mine for fun and we chose in-house for learning, etc.    If money were no object - what would be the very best pool to install and run?  I would need a fully supported pool so it stays updated as new releases come out.  Regardless of all the reasons why NOT to run a pool at home, what is available to purchase?  It seems that finding commercially-available pool software is very elusive and difficult to find.  Current coins we mine for are BTC, BCH, ZEC, DOGE.   Any suggestions? 
2  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Can a pool change miner address when submitting a found block? on: February 17, 2023, 04:05:21 AM
Not that this is happening anywhere, but i have always been curious if a pool could change the miners BTC address when a block is found. So the reward goes somewhere other than to the miner that found it.

Mainly curious if this =could= be done and if yes, how could I spot it happening.  It may be impossible but I wanted to know.

Thanks
3  Bitcoin / Electrum / Hex Editor Search for 2012-2015 Electrum Wallet on: January 19, 2023, 09:01:45 PM
I have been on a quest for the past 2 years to find some old wallets I used back in 2012 and up.  I lost interest in the whole BTC stuff in 2015 and now realize my wallet(s) may have quite a bit of BTC sitting idle.  Problem is i've replaced hard drives over the years and have overwritten a lot of stuff, etc.   I have 26 old drives in a shoebox but there are no typical c:/User/me/AppData/Roaming/Electrum/...  type of paths which would make my life easy.

Is there a string I can look for that would tell me when I've found my electrum wallet?  I want to see if any of them are still viable/in-one-piece.  Or any string that would put me "close" to my wallet where I can sift through the data on the drive to see if I can find it?

Thanks
4  Bitcoin / Hardware / Antminer S5 SD access? on: January 27, 2022, 10:15:37 AM
I somehow bricked my S5 by trying to load in a fan speed control update via the traditional upgrade screen.  Upon reboot the device just kicks in the fans at max speed and never boots the o/s.  Is there any way to get back into the device via a SD connection or other on board connector to load back the proper boot file? I don't see any common SD slot or connector unless I am missing it.  Thanks
