1461  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: New S19, trying to connect to a pool on: July 08, 2023, 09:38:50 AM
New Antminer owner here and having trouble connecting to a pool.  Everything seems to be working fine, all chips are green the only sign I can see is the red abnormal connection.  The machine ramps up and kicks into high fan mode, then it shuts down a few seconds later.  It completes that process 2 times and then just runs on low fan mode and does not connect.  It seems to be a connectivity issue but I'm not sure.  Any information regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You should post this in the Mining section of the forum, more members interested by ASICs will be able to help you.

Otherwise, you'll have to give us your kernel log, because without the log we won't be able to help you to identify the source of your issue.

You can use the forum's "insert code" button when you paste your kernel log, which will be easier to read.

Effective solutions already exist, don't they?

For example, if you use PGP for your correspondence, you're already protecting your data, and you don't have to worry about self-hosting. What's more, PGP has long since proved its worth.

You can also take a look at P2P Utopia project, which has an encrypted messaging system integrated on its own network. The project is fairly new, but it's still too recent for us to have enough feedbacks on its real effectiveness in terms of data protection.

I sincerely believe that PGP is a simple, effective solution that solves all the potential problems associated with privacy and private data for e-mail exchanges.
1463  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Minning on: July 08, 2023, 09:24:58 AM
If in these times, do you think it is good to do solo mining now? Honestly, I haven't tried it, because I had been thinking that it will also be seasonal. But I'm not sure if I am right about this thing, that's why I asked you.

And about nicehash do you think it's a good start to solo mining in these times while we're bullish? Thank you for the answer to my question, God bless you Wink

It's up to you to decide how much risk you're willing to take. The difficulty is very high, so solo mining is currently difficult, but we could also assume that in a long term perspective the block reward will inevitably decrease, and the difficulty will increase, so right now could be a rather interesting period.

It depends on the price of your electricity, your hashpower, your ability to pay electricity bills without getting anything in return.
Every situation is different.

You can calculate your chances of finding a block based on the block difficulty, your hashrate (rented from Nicehash or from ASICs if you have any), look at how long it would take you to solve a block, and know whether you're willing to pay the price (electric or Nicehash) of such a lottery ticket, it's up to you. In any case, it's totally random, so the probabilities calculated are only indicative. You could find a block in 10 minutes if you're the luckiest man in the world, or never find one at all.
1464  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Cool mining set up that more miners should copy. on: July 08, 2023, 09:12:49 AM
I do not understand how these ASICs stand in the open air. If it rains or thunderstorms, then water can get on the asics. ASICs stand in a place that looks like a garbage dump, it is dusty there, and it is not known what humidity is. Maybe these are old ASICs that you don’t mind breaking, but I wouldn’t mine in such conditions.

Yeah, you can see a roof on the video, but you're right, in the event of a storm or rain, the humidity must be terrible.

Maybe they only mine part-time with this infrastructure and put them under cover during bad weather? It sounds like a lot of extra work, but at the same time they don't seem to have many ASICs, so it must be feasible.

Apart from that I find the concept interesting, I'd love to be able to recycle a polluting and wasteful resource to power some Antminers. Even if it's only two or three S9s, for example, they're will give satoshis that are practically free, and many of us (at least in my case) have old ASICs that have long since paid for themselves, which we could "sacrifice" for such a project.
1465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Country rankings in "Bitcoin friendliness" on: July 08, 2023, 09:04:25 AM
List might be changing though as there are countries that might suddenly make a U-turn on how they look at Bitcoin,

Maybe you can look at this list: https://getgoldenvisa.com/crypto-friendly-countries

Quote
Malta
Canada
Slovenia
The Netherlands
Portugal
Germany
Luxembourg
Estonia
Singapore
Switzerland

Is this list accurate and up-to-date?

Because last time I checked, the Netherlands and Canada aren't too crypto-friendly. They still have excessive regulations...
Similarly, Luxembourg taxes cryptos enormously, ranging from 0 to over 50% depending on the conditions (0 being for donations and gifts in crypto).

I have some doubts about the quality of this list personally.

However, Malta, Slovenia, Portugal, Germany and Croatia are excellent countries for Europeans when it comes to crypto taxation. Bulgaria and Estonia also benefit from pretty low taxes. France should be avoided, as should Italy and Austria, for example.

Outside Europe, Singapore is a good country when it comes to crypto tax, Malaysia too, the Cayman Islands, (Puerto Rico has a special status too which is very interesting), and Georgia is top of the top.

As for crypto-friendly usage and culture, because I think OP is not just talking about taxes, it's still harder to come up with a list of countries, things change quickly, and most countries are on an equal footing in this respect.

Currently i cant get IP address
but i have tried several different items from
bitmain support when the files that were supposed
to did not work , i will experiment further in due course
but currently its goosed

I do have a question that might help me as i am not sure about
it

when you copy the firmware files over to SD card , do you extract
them to the card or just copy them over
Even when i extract them over to SD card , some of the files
are still zipped on the SD card , its confusing

You have to extract the file on the SD card, but it is 100% normal that some of the extracted files are stil compressed, no issue with that.

Did you follow these steps ? Did you do all the steps including the ones with the jumper to move ?

https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019493654-S9-series-S9-S9i-S9j-S9-Hydro-Control-Board-Program-Recovery

Did you give a try with the following step too ?

4. Unzip the downloaded  t9+-SD Tools.zip and copy the contents to the MicroSD card.
1468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to banned addresses? on: July 07, 2023, 09:24:59 AM
* I also wonder why they use the same address for their scams... I guess they're aware of their impunity.

It's hard to say, but I can think of two main reasons why scammers reuse BTC addresses:

-lack of knowledge and understanding of the subject. Perhaps some people are unaware that reusing their address can harm their privacy and therefore increase the risk of being flagged.

-mixers, some of whom must not give a damn because they mix their coins regularly, thus cutting off any attempt to identify their coins.

It's also likely that some are using static websites for their scams, with their wallet address/QR code not automatically updated after each payment received. This is the case with some of the poorly designed scammer sites you see on the darknet.
1469  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Opinions about nerd miner v2 pro on: July 06, 2023, 08:11:31 PM
If I'm not mistaken, the hashrate is ridiculous, in the order of a few kh/s isn't it?

If you're interested in lottery mining, I would recommend Gekkoscience's ASICs. You will find some USB ASICs doing up to 300 GH/s and more, or in the Th/s 's range with the R606 - R909. You can find them online and they are not too expensive. Gekkoscience's ASICs are stable, reliable, and made their proofs since years. A (very very lucky) block was already found by a USB Compac F.

Otherwise, Bitaxe is a open source ASIC project and some are on sale (already assembled I mean) if you look at their topic on the forum. It will be more efficient than nerd miners too , but the project is pretty recent. (I think that for now they deliver only to the US)

In any case, the chances of solving a block are tiny, but at least you'll have a small chance, because with a few Kh/s it's almost non-existent.
The forum is full of information on this subject, you can search in the Mining section and you'll find all the info you need on lottery mining, and small ASICs.
1470  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin hash is 380,000,000TH so small miners don't stand a chance on: July 06, 2023, 06:51:41 PM
Earning mining reward shares while competition's tough irrespective of 1% you're right. I can't be alone wishing I'd entered mining years ago.

Of course, many people would have liked to start mining earlier.

If you look at what the block reward will be in 5 or 10 BTC halvings, you can still come to the conclusion that in the future, people will still be having this argument and would have started mining today if they could. It's endless reasoning.

If the clouds open pouring money on me it won't be easy deciding buying bitcoins or mining hardware to join pools.

It would be up to you to make the calculations, depending on the price of the ASICs you have at your disposal, the price of your electricity, and your ability to take some risks or not.

It's a debate we regularly see here or elsewhere (on Reddit for example), the famous 'buying vs mining'. There is no general answer to this question, as each person has a different situation, a different approach to risk, and a different ability to organize a profitable mining operation.
1471  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 276 blocks solved! on: July 06, 2023, 06:35:19 PM
it turns out that if I add miners, my bestever will grow and there will be a chance to solve the block?

It is random, but for sure, the more hashpower you own, bigger will be your chances to find a block.

If you want to see how long time you should solo mine with you current hashrate to be able to find a block with an average 100% luck, you can check this website :

1472  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: ViaBTC sms not receiving not processing withdrawal request on: July 06, 2023, 06:25:29 PM
I’d rather not switch to authenticator if I don’t have to. I’ll try your suggestion of reaching out to my service provider and see if that has any positive results.

If you don't want to use authenticator because you are boycotting Google products, you can use FreeOTP which is open-source and works fine.

This is their website if you want to find more infos about it : https://freeotp.github.io/



Otherwise, philip's answer could be a good solution for you. Playing with the autowithdrawal function is a very good way to avoid SMSes, you can turn it on only when you want to withdraw, and without SMS verification.

But with this solution you will need to be able to receive their SMS at least one time to activate the service.

i thought i read somewhere you could put different firmware on it to change it to scrypt instead
of sha 256 , maybe im wrong

anyone recommened any easy to install easy to download , plug in play firmware
for anything on an S9i

Nope, that's not possible. You will never be able to convert an SHA256d ASIC to a Scrypt ASIC. The chips are not the same.

About your question on the firmware, why not using Bitmain's official firmware ? Otherwise, as you mentioned it, BraiinOS is plug and play. If you have an issue with BraiinOS, you can go on their official topic and ask for some help.

Oh what am i going to do with this unit now !

It depends. If you have cheap electricity, why not joining a pool and mine BTC ?
If you have almost-free electricity, you can use it as a lottery ticket and solo mine BTC on ckpool / kano pool.

If you aren't profitable, if your electricity is expensive, you should maybe turn it off.

1480  Local / Wiki, documentation et traduction / Bitcoin - une révolution sans effusion de sang on: July 05, 2023, 12:50:46 PM
Auteur : GazetaBitcoin
Texte original : Bitcoin - a bloodless revolution




Toutes les révolutions impliquent des effusions de sang. C'est pourquoi les drapeaux révolutionnaires sont toujours rouges.

De la révolte de Spartacus (71 - 71 av. J.-C.) jusqu'à la Révolution Américaine (1765 – 1783) ; de la Révolution Française (1789 – 1799) à la Révolution Hongroise de Budapest (1956); de Prague (1968) à la Révolution des Œillets du Portugal (1974) ; de la Révolution Mexicaine dirigée par Emiliano Zapata Salazar (1910 - 1920) à La Grande Révolution Culturelle prolétarienne initiée par Mao Zedong (1966) ; à la Révolution du Nicaragua (60 et 70) et à la Révolution Roumaine de 1989. Cette liste pourrait encore s'allonger. Toutes les révolutions ont eu leurs bains de sang. Leurs dirigeants se sont battus pour leurs objectifs, mais aucun n'a jamais réussi une révolution sans effusion de sang.

Jusqu'à Satoshi Nakamoto.

Satoshi n'a jamais eu l'intention d’être un leader de révolution, mais sa création -- Bitcoin -- révolutionna le monde entier. Il a retiré le pouvoir des mains des élites et l'a rendu aux citoyens. Les gens ont commencé à pouvoir contrôler leur propre argent sans être contraints d'impliquer des tierces parties. Bitcoin a éliminé les intermédiaires et a rendu les gouvernements et les banques inutiles pour les individus qui s'appuient dessus. Il a bouleversé les finances traditionnelles et mis en œuvre un nouveau paradigme : "Une version purement pair-à-pair de l'argent électronique qui permettrait aux paiements en ligne d'être envoyés directement d'une partie à l'autre sans passer par une institution financière". Bitcoin est la première révolution sans effusion de sang de l'histoire.

Personne n'a dû mourir pour que Bitcoin l'emporte. La révolution Bitcoin n'a impliqué aucune violence, aucun massacre, ni aucun des autres aspects horribles qui se produisent lors des révolutions. Il a permis à ceux qui mouraient de faim et aux pauvres d'avoir une chance de vivre et de se battre pour leur vie. Il a permis de relier des personnes du monde entier entre elles. Aucun dirigeant politique ne peut arrêter Bitcoin. La révolution se poursuit depuis plus de 10 ans maintenant. Et, jour après jour, elle gagne de nouveaux adeptes.

Je me suis souvent demandé comment Bitcoin avait pu mener cette révolution sans effusion de sang. Et parfois, je me dis que, d'une manière ou d'une autre, la révolution du bitcoin a suivi les règles de Saul Alinsky. Alinsky était un activiste Américain qui, parmi d’autres choses, a écrit les règles d'une révolution réussie. Cela peut être facilement remarqué, aucune de ces règles n’implique de la violence.

Règle 1 : Le pouvoir n'est pas seulement ce que l'on a, mais aussi ce que l'adversaire pense que l'on a. -- Dès son apparition, Bitcoin a été craint par les gouvernements, les banques et d'autres élites. Ils craignaient de perdre le pouvoir extraordinaire qu'ils détenaient jusqu'alors et ont commencé à considérer Bitcoin comme un ennemi de taille, alors qu'il n'en était qu'à ses débuts.

Règle 2 : Chaque fois que c'est possible, il faut sortir de l'expérience de l'adversaire. Il s'agit de semer la confusion, la peur et le repli, et de faire en sorte qu'il ne sache pas comment lutter contre. -– Les élites n'ont jamais craint de perdre leur pouvoir sur les citoyens. Après tout, les gens sont opprimés par les gouvernements et les banques depuis des milliers d'années. Pourtant, lorsque Bitcoin est arrivé, avec son nouveau paradigme de transactions financières de pair à pair, combiné également à un pseudonymat qui peut être considérablement amélioré grâce aux mélangeurs de coins, tous les oppresseurs ont commencé à être déconcertés. La première chose qu'ils ont ressentie, c'est la peur. Ils ne savaient pas comment lutter contre Bitcoin. Et, depuis une décennie maintenant, toutes leurs tentatives pour le faire disparaître ont échoué.

Règle 3 : Battre ses adversaires avec leurs propres règles. -- Bitcoin a combattu les élites avec leurs propres pouvoirs. Alors que les élites ont simplement dépouillé les gens de leur contrôle financier pendant des temps immémoriaux, Bitcoin a fait de même, en redonnant aux gens le pouvoir de leurs propres finances.

Règle 4 : Le ridicule est l'arme la plus puissante de l'homme. Il est difficile de contre-attaquer le ridicule, et il exaspère l'adversaire, qui réagit alors à votre avantage. -- Les gouvernements ont toujours voulu savoir combien d'argent chaque citoyen possède et comment il le dépense. Satoshi a créé le bitcoin d'une manière qui ridiculise l'avidité des États à connaître toutes les transactions financières effectuées par leurs citoyens : toutes les transactions en Bitcoin sont visibles sur la blockchain, qui est publique ; cependant, les adresses de l'expéditeur et du destinataire ne sont que des chaînes de caractères alphanumériques, qui ne donnent aucun nom, aucun prénom, aucune information personnelle (en supposant que les utilisateurs n'aient pas communiqué leurs informations personnelles à des tiers, tels que des échangeurs centralisés). L'invention de Satoshi a nargué l'État et il semble qu'elle dise : "Tu veux savoir combien d'argent j'ai ? Ici, vous pouvez le voir. Voulez-vous voir toutes mes transactions ? Vous pouvez le voir aussi. Je les ai rendues publiques, au vu et au su de tous. Mais ce que vous ignorez est qui je suis".

Règle 5 : Une tactique qui n’évolue pas devient un frein. L'engagement peut devenir une routine lorsque les gens se tournent vers d'autres questionnements. -- C'est pourquoi des changements sont nécessaires, même s'ils sont minimes. Bitcoin a connu des changements au cours de la dernière décennie. De SegWit à bech32 et de Taproot à divers BIP, Bitcoin a changé et évolué au fil du temps.

Règle 6 : Maintenez la pression. Utilisez différentes tactiques et actions et utilisez tous les événements de la période pour atteindre votre objectif. "Le principe de base de la tactique est le développement d'opérations qui maintiendront une pression constante sur l'opposition. C'est ce qui amènera l'adversaire à réagir à votre avantage." -- Depuis l'apparition de Bitcoin, les gouvernements et les banques ont commencé à ressentir une pression qui n'a cessé de croître. Au cours de plusieurs périodes de difficultés financières, les gens ont utilisé Bitcoin. Et, plus ces événements terribles se produisaient, plus les gens adoptaient Bitcoin, ce qui a entraîné une pression encore plus forte sur les épaules des gouvernements, qui se sont rendu compte que le pouvoir de contrôle leur échappait et que les gens pouvaient s'organiser seuls, sans l'intervention de l'État, des banques et d'autres tierces parties.

Règle 7 : Choisir la cible, la viser, la personnaliser et la polariser. -- Bitcoin a choisi ses cibles avant même sa naissance : le système financier existant, les intermédiaires, les gouvernements et les banques. Ses intentions se sont manifestées, de manière subtile, dès son block Genesis, qui contenait le message suivant : "La chancellerie est sur le point d'accorder un deuxième plan de sauvetage aux banques".

Il nous reste peut-être de nombreuses années à vivre, tout comme nos enfants et nos petits-enfants. Pourtant, je ne sais pas si nous assisterons un jour à une nouvelle révolution sans effusion de sang...
