Hey, can someone help me out? My telegram is @chkitout420

I have a $1,600 Gaming Laptop, and I read someone using 1 BTC miner has mined 6BTC etc using https://solo.ckpool.org/

So can someone just msg me on telegram, and help me setup miming on my Windows Laptop with https://solo.ckpool.org/

I’m trying to help out my mother, she’s 60 years old and very sick… I moved in to watch her/help her and she’s had a stroke, and fell 4 times now.. she seemed to be getting better but now she can’t eat, and we’re very limited on income so she can’t get the help she needs.

I’m hoping to set this up, and if I earn anything it will go to medical bills/future doctor visits etc…


Thanks I’m advance, I’ve tried starting a gofundme to help, but someone donated $5 then they shut it down idk why… I don’t want to lose my mom over something preventable and I’m out of options… I’d sell my kidney right now if I knew how..

Thanks

Should You Use Your Personal PC for Crypto Mining?
When it comes to mining cryptocurrency, there are a few things you need to take into account. One of the most important is whether or not to use your personal computer. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t use your personal PC for crypto mining:

1. The cost of electricity. Mining cryptocurrency can be a very power-intensive activity. If you’re using your personal PC for mining, that means your electricity bill is going to go up significantly.

2. The noise. Cryptocurrency mining can also be quite noisy, so if you’re using your personal PC for mining, you may find that it’s quite disruptive (and even annoying) to have the constant noise in the background.

3. The heat. Another downside of cryptocurrency mining is the amount of heat it generates. If you’re using your personal PC for mining, you may find that it starts to overheat, which can be both damaging to the components and uncomfortable for you (if you’re trying to use the computer at the same time).

4. It’s not worth it! We would recommend against using your personal PC for crypto mining. It’s simply not worth the hassle and expense – there are much better ways to mine cryptocurrency (such as joining a mining pool).

Overall, it’s best to avoid using your personal PC for crypto mining. There are much better ways to go about mining cryptocurrency without having to risk the cost, noise, and heat associated with using a personal computer.

Alternatives to Using Your Personal PC for Crypto Mining
If you’re serious about mining cryptocurrency, you need to invest in a dedicated mining rig. A mining rig is a computer specifically designed for mining cryptocurrency and can be a huge asset to your operation. Not only will a mining rig be much more powerful than your personal PC, but it will also generate less heat and use less electricity.

There are plenty of options out there when it comes to choosing a mining rig. You can build your own rig, or purchase one pre-built. There are even some companies that will let you rent out space on their rigs to mine for them. Whichever route you decide to go, make sure you do your research and choose a reputable company.

Another option is to join a mining pool. A mining pool is a group of miners who work together to mine cryptocurrency and share the rewards. This way, you can benefit from the collective power of the pool, while still using your own personal PC.

Finally, if you don’t want to invest in any additional hardware or join a mining pool, you could always use cloud computing services to mine cryptocurrency. These services are often quite expensive, but they do offer an alternative for those who don’t have access to dedicated mining rigs or a mining pool.

In short, don’t use your personal PC for crypto mining. Invest in a dedicated mining rig instead and you’ll be much better off in the long run.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using your personal PC for crypto mining is not recommended. It can be very costly to do so due to the power consumption costs and it can also cause damage to your computer’s hardware components if you don’t have a reliable cooling system in place. If you are interested in getting into the crypto mining game, then it’s best advised to invest in a dedicated rig that has been specifically designed for this purpose.

9  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 275 blocks solved! on: June 12, 2023, 11:39:29 PM
A question to the group with my ignorance on the subject, with an S9j as is my case that I play the lottery solo, which port should I point to 3333 or 4334 since I see that in 4334 it is very difficult to work but when it works, works better than port 3333.

Different ports handle pool difficulty differently, there is no way your miner would work better/worse just because of that, using high difficulty means fewer shares reported to the pool but every share is worth more, reported hashrate will fluctuate when you use high diff on a slow gear, eventually it will catch up and average out, but it would be pretty normal to see a 100th gear reports 500th and then 5th, but that doesn't change the fact that it's nothing but a 100th gear.

You and the pool want something in between, something reasonable, not too low that submits every share every ms and puts stress on the server, your router, and everything involved, also not something too large, where your miner needs 30 mins to find a share above the set difficulty and gives you all those wired readings and then you don't know what's the real hashrate your miner is getting.

Note that, all of that has exactly no effect on your chances of hitting a block, any share that hits a block with be greater than the difficulty set by any port/pool, but to ensure a smooth operation, always just the ports specified by the pool operator, if it tells you port x is for rental, it really means it's for rental, using it to mine directly could create issues along the way.





Thanks for the answer, now I understand how the ports work better, any ideas to lower the latency?

Ckpool is one of the few addresses that gives me high latency, I am beginning to believe that it will be from my ISP, but I have few options to change providers.

Mike.


depends on ware you are located exsample if your in the us and your mining on a eu or an asia stratium than latency plays a big factor if you want faster its recomended to mine on a stratiom that is located in your regin ie us if your in the us asia if your in asia eu if your in euroup

I will really like to know if there are other step of mining bitcoin apart from these step?

When you choose and set up your bitcoin mining hardware.

And to create a dedicated wallet.

And as well configuring your mining equipment.

As this question has been repeated for several times but still I will say that Bitcoin mining.is not worth it what it used to be almost 5 or 6 years ago like 2017 etc when we could make 0.5 btc per month with antminer S9.

curentaly block rewards for btc is 6.25 bitcoin till the next haveing next year

coinwarz states this What date is the next Bitcoin halving?
April 26, 2024
When is the Next Bitcoin Halving Date? The next Bitcoin halving date is scheduled to take place at block 840,000 - predicted to occur on April 26, 2024 at 10:44:45 AM UTC. On the Bitcoin halving date - the block reward is scheduled to drop from 6.25 Bitcoin per block to 3.125 Bitcoin per block.
11  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Duelbits, $500,000 scam alert. on: June 11, 2023, 07:58:36 PM
What I think odd on this case was activity of the OP balance history pattern. He keeps depositing that kind of all-in amount then withdraw once he got a small profit.

It looks quite like a gambling rage night.

Deposited 100k first, lost.
Deposited another 98k, lost.
Another 100k, lost.
Another 200k, won 500k.

Did the OP show his win/loss history here? only deposit/withdraw.
Is there a possibility that he wanted to mix tokens here using the casino? I see that he had a withdrawal on the same day so he would have deposited almost the same amount. I'm not sure what the wagering policy is at Duelbits, but it's understandable to me here if there is a concern for AML.

16  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do not rely on articles as resources to learn Bitcoin on: June 01, 2023, 08:17:27 AM
I see many friends and even some accounts here that rely on some paid (click me) articles as sources to learn technical about Bitcoin.

Almost all platforms and news sites have devoted articles to learning or what is known as academy, and many of the technical articles on those sites contain misleading or biased information, such as some bitcoin.com articles.

Binance Academy, cointelegraph, crypto.com, Bybit Learn,....

Misleading article example https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-advocate-cracks-known-12-word-seed-phrase-in-minutes
Biased essay example https://www.bitcoin.com/full-nodes/
Thank you for sharing your insights regarding the potential risks of relying solely on paid articles for technical Bitcoin information. Its crucial to be cautious of misleading or biased content found on various platforms. As you said To ensure accuracy consider referring to alternative sources like books, GitHub repositories, technical discussion boards and reputable websites. Also Andreas Antonopoulos is indeed a valuable resource for answering questions and providing reliable content I follow him on his youtube channel and watch videos regularly his contribution to promoting reliable learning resources is greatly appreciated.
he all so has a site https://aantonop.com/
17  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How can i start bitcoin mining? on: June 01, 2023, 07:46:16 AM
You can find good information on how you can start Bitcoin mining on various popular search websites. And all those websites are very well mentioned how you can start bitcoin mining. To start Bitcoin mining you will first need some Bitcoin mining equipment. First of all you need a good quality computer for mining, secondly you need to install a good mining software. Bitcoin wallet will be required and you will need electricity for mining and some other necessary items you will need to collect for mining.
You don’t need a good quality computer to mine bitcoin, because any office computer or an inexpensive laptop is enough to set up ASICs.
Asics need a special room, because mining is not possible in an apartment. Noise can be overcome with water cooling, but getting the necessary power in the apartment is already a problem. Even if you install ASICs instead of electric stoves, you will have very large electricity bills
So water cooling with ASIC Miner is possible ? I don't know that this is possible, can you direct me to any tutorial or any video to just see how this thing works out ? because this is my first time of hearing that water cooling works on Asic miner I don't believe it's possible until I see this with my two eyes,  can you please drop a link or something?

Running an Asic miner is like running a GPU miner with 8 video cards, I believe that an Asic miner takes up to 3500 watts from the wall, so how can this not work in a house? You can just instal in a store or room that no one is using, if there is enough air flow it's better, air flow is the only reason why I won't run an Asic miner in a room but it's possible. If water cooling works it's even going to be better.

https://coinminingcentral.com/products/bitmain-antminer-s19-hydro-158-th-s

18  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Miners Should Consider the Lower Transaction Fees on: June 01, 2023, 05:49:11 AM
to the op we miners DONOT set the fees  We only Eurn the Tx  

heres how it works

Who controls Bitcoin transactions?
Bitcoin does not have a central authority. The bitcoin network is peer-to-peer, without central servers. The network also has no central storage; the bitcoin ledger is distributed. The ledger is public; anybody can store it on a computer. Leger known as blockchain

from forbs this year  

Why is my Bitcoin transaction fee so high?
The increased demand for Bitcoin's block space led to the corresponding rise in bitcoin transaction fees. The blockchain backlog got so congested that the crypto exchange Binance paused withdrawals for almost two hours on Saturday, May 6. And this may only be the beginning.8 May 2023

from bitcoin.com  
Does bitcoin charge transaction fees?
Bitcoin transaction fees are paid in bitcoin and Ethereum transaction fees are paid in Ethereum. As you'd expect, simpler actions have smaller fees while complicated actions cost more. Additionally, different blockchains have lower or higher transaction fees for similar actions

if you whant plain english read this ------> https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin/fees/ it gives a brakedown of the process  and it clearly points out that We miners DONOT set the Fees its the User (sender) who sets the fee  exsample if i wanted to send 2 dollers woth of bitcoin to my other bitcoin adress from my bitcoin core wallet i am promited to set a tx tx = transfure fee  if i set the tx as 0.000001 btc witch is varry low miners will look at it and deside it ant woth it and wont touch it  becose 1 it isnt enuff to cover the cost of power we face in the form of a power bill  now if jo blow sends the same amount of bitcoin ie 2 dollers werth but he offers up a tx of 0.00090 btc Miners will look at it and take that tx why becose it higher but igf a big time person sends the same ammount ie 2 dollers werth of btc but offers up 0.001 btc The miners will take that insted as i said you can read the prosess witch is found at https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin/fees/ that brakes down the bitcoin process

power tariffs for me ie a1 plan

 https://www.synergy.net.au/Global/Synergy-Price-changes-2023

from first of july 2023 it said this

Will there be changes to residential electricity prices?

Yes, the regulated residential tariff payable on the Synergy Home Plan (A1) will increase by 2.50% from 1 July 2023 and there will also be increases to some of the Standard Fees and Charges. Updated pricing will be included in bills issued to customers from 1 July 2023 onwards for supply on and from this date.|

The average residential electricity bill is $348* and the increase of 2.50% equates to $8.70 per bill or $52.20 per annum.

*Approximate only, based on the average consumption of a residential customer calculated using the current Home Plan (A1) regulated tariff. (July 2019). Amounts will vary for each customer depending on consumption.
