No, mining Bitcoin should be only works on ASIC units even if you have 2000VPS you can't mine Bitcoin because it requires ASIC. Maybe you can mine other coins with your VPS but not for Bitcoin.
The link you provided looks like a cloud mining site and it mines different coins I never heard of this website before are you trying to promote it here?

That is why we must avoid clicking on links from Google or Bing Ads because most ads these days are phishing crypto sites that can steal your wallet funds not only on MacOS but also on other devices such as phones and Windows OS. Even if you are a Linux user, if you are unfamiliar with phishing sites, you may fall victim to this trap.
I always use a VPN to block all these ads. I also use uBlock and Antivirus to protect my PC from virus and malware attacks. Also, whenever I visit a legitimate website, I double or triple check the URL I type before I proceed to do anything on the site.

Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: UART SERIAL INFO - BItmain ControlBoard fails to get IP, even after flashing.
|

Also, how do you know it was bricked?
You said that the control board fails to get the IP or the unit is inaccessible so that's the reason why it makes me think that the control board might be bricked. Any related software flashing if you flash it wrong it always ends up bricked like phones if you flash a corrupted firmware the phone might end up boot loop/bricked with no power. There's something weird in your profile how did you get -68 merits?

Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Antminer s17e found block when solo ckpool mining but no transaction to wallet
|

How to I see the block number? I just see in the Miners status summary that FoundBlocks has a value of 1 (or now it actually has a value of 15!!). Guess the miner itself is reporting wrong?
It's a known issue on Bitmain units that gives you a false report if you want to confirm that you are mining a block better go directly to your ckpool solo mining status it should give you insight if you found a block. Use this link below - solo.ckpool.org/users/PasteYourBitcoinAddressHere Then check if you found a block and I suggest bring your issue from the link that I posted above because they are the only ones who can explain why you didn't receive anything.

Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer Control s17Pro not work not ip not flashing green and red led on
|
on: March 31, 2024, 07:39:42 PM

I can't find an IP on the network either
on the board also not light up all 3 green leds
reset not work ip report not work
What can it be?
Try to disconnect all hashboard from the control board and flash or boot it again with the SD card recovery. If it doesn't work try to replace the SD card sometimes some fake SD card when pasting the firmware to the SD Card it becomes corrupted so make sure that you are using an authentic SD card then try to flash it again.

I think any web3 wallet that came from any exchanges is not safe why don't you just stay using Metamask wallet? However, if your purpose is to join Airdrop you will need to install this web3 wallet from Bitget just like on Binance they do also have a web3 wallet you can't join to any Airdrop if you don't install their web3 wallet. Only use their wallet for airdrop it's not good if you transfer all your funds from Unstoppable Wallet to their web3 wallet like others said above it does not have an open-source wallet which is a red flag for me however, we can only join and get airdrop if we install their web3 wallet. Based on my experienced it's working fine I don't see any issue just make sure you don't hold any coins/token from this wallet and only use this wallet to get airdrops.

If you copied and pasted it, likely that is the reason you posted it fast. Include the link next time and not just try to plagiarize.
Not only plagiarism is what he did wrong the worst thing is that his post is AI-generated 100%. That is why he can respond right away because he generated it from chatgpt. So the post is 99% plagiarism and 100% AI-generated which is not allowed here on the forum.

Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to stop unconfirmed incoming tx tie up your funds you already have?

There's no problem or danger with importing a wallet as watch-only it's the best thing you do if you only signing transactions on an airgap device like a phone. Coin control is what you need if you don't want to spend any unconfirmed transaction check the image below you can also ignore and don't add other coins if you don't want to spend them all(Confirmed or not). Once you add a confirmed transactions that's the only coins you can spend on the send tab.

If they pay you with a small fee you can do a CPFP so it shouldn't be a problem because anytime you can make a transaction with the unconfirmed transaction and add an extra fee but to make sure it would confirm check it first on the blockchain explorer if it's not a series of unconfirmed transaction because if it's a series of unconfirmed transaction even you do CPFP with high fee there still a possibility the transaction will be rejected.
Or you can just wait until the receive transaction is confirmed before you spend since Electrum has coin control it shouldn't be a problem if you want to spend only confirmed transactions.

Have you tried to check the task manager and maybe Electrum is stuck and running in the background? If you find it on the task manager just right-click and choose "end task" and then reinstall Electrum again to fix the issue.
If it does not work maybe the antivirus is blocking Electrum I suggest you to try adding the Electrum to Antivirus> settings >exclusion folder/software. Reboot the PC and try to rerun Electrum.

I usually don't answer random calls unless they message me first and if I know him/her I'll immediately answer the call.
For safety purposes don't randomly answer a call unless you are using a phone number that is not connected to any wallet account or exchange account or anything with money involved because they can maybe able to trace you or hack your SIM card just for safety never answer them.

Bitcoin / Mining / Re: avalon 1126 pro 68T hashrate drop
|
on: March 28, 2024, 09:30:07 PM

Based on your logs it only detects 2 hashboards which is why the hash rate dropped and I think the reason why the 3rd hashboard is missing is due to overheating look at your chip temps it is more than 85c also notice that Tmax and MTmax it's more than 85c which is overheating. Try to run the miner at normal instead of running the unit at performance mode. If you keep running your unit at performance mode you just killing your hashboard due to over temp unless you can maintain the hashboard at 85c below.
You might need an extra fan to cool your miner a bit and it always happens in summer seasons.
