You are going to need to define what "better energy consumption equation" actually means!  is "less" better? I could argue that more is better, economies grow and prosper due to demand and not lack thereof, Bitcoin's need for energy creates demand, creates jobs, and overall strengthens the economy in a lot of ways, so the more energy Bitcoin uses the better for everyone.

It seems like most of your recent questions are related to "how to use Nicehash", it would be great if Willi or someone else who uses the platform very often can write a topic explaining how to use the service, it's pretty simple but the fact that you have to ask all these questions suggests that many people struggle to use it but are afraid to ask.

As far as the topic at hand is concerned, you don't need a data center to mine Bitcoin, many mining farms do exist in Africa, they face many issues but internet connection is not one of them.

Power infrastructure is the main concern, whatever Statista has to say about how cheap electricity is in Africa is pretty much far from accurate, power is cheap in most African countries because it's subsidized, and even the oil-rich countries don't own enough petroleum refineries, so the cost of electricity is pretty on the high end even for those countries, and since it's subsidized, it's pretty limited, many countries don't produce anything above 5000-10000MW worth of power, Africa as-is is a terrible place for any large mining operation.

You don't need to KYC yourself, I have not tried super large amounts but I guess at some point if you go too big you are going to have to go through a KYC of some sort, other than that, you should be good to go.

This pool will send the payout to whichever BTC address you set in the worker field when entering your pool details on nicehash, nothing goes to your nicehash wallet.





Don't type the whole URL, this is what's giving you the error, Nicehash already has the initial part of "stratum+tcp://", all you need is

alas, ping times are directly related to the distance, Johannesburg is in South Africa, it's the furthest point in Africa from Europe,  half of Africa is closer to the EU than the east part of U.S, EU is closer to the majority of African countries than to the western part of the U.S, a random example would be ping from Lagos to London, which averages below 100ms, a much better result than most other locations in respect to London.

The U.S is leading the green world drama contest, it would be a terrible move to bring back a retired 2500MW coal plant, and not to heat homes or put patients on their ventilators, no, just to mine BTC, ya in times like last year were gas and oil prices were pretty high, many so-called green countries paused their love for planet earth and started burning more coal, but it was all done in the name of the "poor people who were going to freeze and die", they got away with that because it's war plus people's lives were at stake, Bitcoin is a different story, you got the climate folks and many politicians wanting to shut down everything mining related, even the farms which run on clean energy, they accuse Bitcoin miners of raising solar panels prices and whatnot, going that deep into coal burning is not going to happen IMO.



30k now.

You are correct Loyce, the point I was trying to make is that no matter what protocol you use in order to achieve any sort of decentralization is always going to end up in the same way,  ACIS-resistant protocols, a recent example of that is Chia coin and its protocol which is based on both proof of space and time, all you need is a hard drive to store the plots, and a processor to make those plots did not take long for someone to figure out a way of writing that space with RAM in a faster and cheaper way.

The argument people had of how that protocol was more decentralized than BTC's POW is that fact that people had better access to HDDs than to ASICs, it took only a few months for that theory to go out the window, videos of large farms with thousands of HDDs were floating around, in just a few months every average Joe with a few 10TBs HDDs was not able to make any profit.

It doesn't matter what protocol you use, the end result is going to be pretty much the same, people that know how to make money will always find ways to make more money, even when you give the average Joe a chance to make money he will miss it, so thinking that ASIC miners are the problem and by using something else absolute decentralization is going to be achieved is daydreaming.

If you check the list of currently working plants you will see that many of them have a retirement date ahead, some should be sitting down in a few months, good luck bringing a 2500mw coal plant back to life in 2023 with all the climate activists in the U.S, let alone, do that for the sole purpose of Bitcoin mining, it's going to be very difficult IMO.

I still think that any considerable hashrate jump will be the result of gear-swapping or using existing excessive power somewhere rather than newly built plants, it will get more and more difficult for hashrate to move the further we go, only a price jump can change that, when it starts making sense to move from S19 to S19 xp hydro or anything that gives 25-35% more hash for the same power, only then we would see those large diff jumps.

It would be just a matter of time before someone starts making larger rams that are capable of doing the job better than the average ram, and even if that fails, the large players will end up owning enough RAM that makes everyone else's ram pretty useless, ASIC miners came as a natural result of people's desire to make more money more efficiently, it doesn't matter how you want to start the protocol, RAM, CPUs, GPUs or even light bulbs, the system will evolve and we would still end up with something like ASIC miners.

ما تدفعه مقابل تأجير هاش ريت من نايس هاش هوا مايمكن ان يكسبه نفس الهاش ريت في حال التعدين المباشر عبر احد الاحواض, لو الجهاز يكسب 100$ شهريا يعني تكلفة اجاره ستكون 100$ شهريا, ضع نفسك مكان الشخص الاخر الذي يمتلك جهاز التعدين ويضعه على نايس هاش لتفهم القصة بشكل افضل.

اما بخصوص الفرق بين شراء هاش ريت من نايس هاش او شراء جهاز التعدين نفسه فهدا الامر لايمكن الاجابة عنه بهده السهولة, الموضوع يعتمد بالاساس على راس مالك وتكلفة الكهرباء في بلدك, تم تأتي قوانين الدولة التي تعيش بها, المناخ, ضرائب استراد البضائع الصينينة و و و, موضوع التعدين ليس سهل ابدا, موضوع شراء هاش ريت من نايس هاش لايصلح على المدى البعيد الى لاستعماله في solo mining اي اشبه بشراء ورقة يانصيب حيت انك تدفع مبلغ صغير على امل الحصول على مبلغ كبير باحتمالية فوز ضئيلة جدا.

They sure can, most people think no pool does that, but that's not the case, some pools do, a great example is ViaBTC pool which offers transaction accelerator services, they would include transactions that pay very low fees in return for a good payment directly to their wallet outside of the pool accounting.

Example:

The current fee is 1$, someone (usually by mistake ) pays 1 cent and their transaction is now stuck, they need it confirmed ASAP, they would pay $10 directly to the pool, and the pool will drop a $1 transaction and include the 1 cent transaction instead, the pool loses 4% of 0.9$ (the fees they collect from the miners), but they keep $10 to themselves, the miners, on the other hand, lose 96% of 0.9$.


It is automated, the software does that, you can modify the code however you like, you can have your friend's transactions included regardless of fees, you can simply choose not to include any transaction in the block, and you can even include invalid transactions and lose a whole block, you can do just about anything you want since the code is under your control as a pool operator, but just because you "can" doesn't mean you would, it's all about profit.

I would like to add another important point to go on top of what ZuesBTC mentioned, you should swap everything between J7 and J5/J6, not just the ribbon cable, swap the 6 pin power cable as well, and then fire the miner up, there is also no need to check the voltage or anything like that to arrive to the conclusion you need, just look at the kernel log, find the following part


Let's say you swapped 7<>6, if the board is good and the issue is either the data cable or power cable, the kernel log will be the same


This means even the old J6 which is now J7 isn't working in that slot, so you know the previous J7 which is now J6 was good all along, and it's either the PSU or the data cable that needs replacing.

if however, the kernel long changes to


You would apply the same logic above (inversed) and reach the conclusion that you the hashboard is physically dead and needs further diagnosis, and repair.

While performing the test, it's best to unplug J5's 6-pin power cables.

It's going to take some vouching to be added for sure, but it takes some pictures/videos and any other proof for members actually to trust sending their gear to you, upon checking your website, I found nothing enduring, you seem to be using the same photo (not a real photo of some ASIC miner) floating on all the different pages.

I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am not the boss here, this is just friendly advice if you want to do business in the forum, the default/common belief around here is that "everyone is a scammer until proven otherwise" so please don't take anything I or anyone else say personal.

لم اكمل باقي الحساب لان الارقام من بدايتها خاطئة لذلك كل ماينتج عنها هوا ايضا خاطيء, لنقم بمراجعة بعض المباديء

1Exa = 1000000 tera

S19xp = 255terahash

0.1Eh = 100,000tera

so

0.1eh = 392 S19 Hyd

لا ادري من اين اتيت ب 40,000 لكن الارقام التي وضعتها لك في الاعلى هي الاصح.

اعتقد ان الكثير منا لديه قصة مشابهة, الاخ صاحب الموضوع طبعا تأخر كثيرا للتسجيل ولكن عن نفسي فقط تأخرت ربما بضع سنوات, في بداية انخراطي في مجال الكريبتو لم يكن لدي اي شي اقدمه ولا حتى اسئله معينة لكي اسئلها, وكنت قد توقفت عن استعمال المنتديات نظرا لوجود مواقع اخرى مثل الفيسبوك , وقروبات الواتسب اب وغيرها, كانت نتائج بحث محرك قوقل احيانا تأتي بي للمنتدى وكنت اقول ماهد التصميم القديم الممل ولم اقم بالتسجيل كنت اكتفي بقراءة ما ابحت عنه واغادر.

مع الوقت تكتشف ان هدا المنتدى هوا "انظف" مكان يمكنك ان تنخرط فيه في هدا المجال سواء كنت تريد كسب المعرفة او مشاركتها او الاتنين في ان واحد, للاسف ان الكثير من الناس لايصلون الى هده القناعة ولهدا تشاهد المواقع الاخرى اكثر نشاطا ولكنها مليئة بالاشياء غير المفيدة والنصابين والاخبار الكاذبة, اعرف الكتير من الاشخاص الذين يترددون على المنتدى من نتائج محركات البحث منذ سنوات ولم يقومو بانشاء حساب هنا, البعض منهم لديه حسابات ولم ينشط بها حتى بمنشور واحد.

اعتقد انه يوجد سوء فهم عام حول نقطة "الاتصال بالانترنت" من عدمه, فالاتصال بالانترنت ليس هوا مايشكل خطورة على اموالك, مايشكل خطورة على اموالك هوا مكان تواجد ال private key, فمثلا ال web wallets تكون بيانات المحفظة مخزنة في سيرفر المحفظة التي تستخدمها يعني كل ماتملكه انت هوا فقط اسم مستخدم وكلمة سر تدخلك على تلك المحفظة, المحافظ الاخرى التي تقوم بتحميلها على الهاتف او الحاسوب تعمل بنفس طريقة محافظ الهاردوير حيت ان مفاتيح المحفظة تكون مخزنة على جهازك فقط وليس في مكان اخر, الفرق الجدري بين الهاردوير والمحافظ الباردة الاخرى ان مفاتيح المحفظة في المحفظة الباردة تبقا مخزنة داخل المحفظة ولا تغادرها يعني يمكن تخيل ان الهاردوير والت هي عبارة عن جهازين في جهاز, الجهاز الاول الموجود في الداخل يحتفظ بالبرافيت كي, الجهاز التاني يقوم بالاتصال بالانترنت, يقوم الجهاز التاني بطلب توقيع للتحويل من الجهاز الاول, الجهاز الاول وبدون ارسال مفاتيح المفحظة يقوم بالتقويع وارسال التوقيع الى الجهاز التاني الذي يقوم بدوره بارسال المعاملة اون لاين.

هنا نفهم انه حتى وان كانت محفظة الهاردوير متصلة بالانترت طوال الوقت فهدا لايشكل اي خطر على اموالك.

3exahash is 100mw worth of power assuming the best gears, it not just the number of gears, you need to check the power needed for them to run, 100mw is no freaking joke,  that is a whole turbine or 1/5 of the a whole gas plant according to plants i have seen in my country, it is of course easier to produce in a place like the U.S, but it is certainly not easily doable every 2 weeks when you start wanting 300mw and whatnot.

I think a part of why hashrate kept a high pace is swapping old gears with new, whereby most of the infrastructure was already there, there is almost noway on planet earth one can deploy 25eh from scratch in 2 weeks.

تعم اتفهم ماتقصده اخي، فالكود في حد ذاته سيكون مفيد للاعضاء المهتمين بالبرمجة.

ما اقصده حول البوت هو تنبيه عند اقتباس احد تعليقاتي او ذكر اسمي في احد المواضيع، مثل هدا البوت https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5331343.msg56809456#msg56809456

طبعا اعلم انه اصعب بكثير نظرا لانك سوف تحتاج ان تقراء كل التعليقات الجديدة ف المنتدى والبحث عن مجموعة شروط لكي ترسل الاشعار

قمت بأرسال رسالة بالشكل المطلوب, اتمنى ان تساعدك في تجربة الكود, في الواقع اعتقد انه من الافضل انشاء بوت للاطلاع على التعليقات نظرا لاننا لا نتلقا اشعارات من المنتدى بينما الرسائل فيصل ايميل مباشرة بعد استلام الرسالة, ايضا سيكون من الصعوبة استخدام هدا البوت لانه يتطلب بيانات الدخول للمنتدى يعني على كل شخص تشغيله لوحده على عكس بوت خاص ب Notifications.

هده فقط وجهة نظري حول الموضوع.

بغض النظر عن الصعوبات القانونية والتنظمية اعتقد ان السبب الرئيسي الاخر هوا المنافسة, منصة p2p باينانس يبدو انها قعد تمكت من السيطرة بشكل كبير على اسواق ال peer to peer اولا لسمعتها كونها اكبر منصة كريبتو, وتانيا لسهولة الدفع نظرا لان معظم من يستخدم تلك المنصات يضع امواله داخل المنصات, فعند استخدام المنصة نفسها لاغراض التداول والبيع والشراء يكون الامر اسهل واسعر من استعمال منصة خارجية فقط لعمليات ال p2p.
