Jihan Wu might no longer be CEO, but what about shares/stock in the company? I doubt its coincidental.

Would be nice to have some chart of sorts display all Jihan Wu/Bitmain related companies.

This is not true, many countries do not intervene in the economy (are more liberal) and the real purpose of a Central Bank is to serve as a Bank for banks. They don't have to dictate monetary policy even if that's typical in many countries. A good example would be the role of a central bank in a country without a national currency.

And all of this is related to fractional reserve. If you don't understand fractional reserve, you just cannot understand why there are so many banks. And if you DID understand fractional reserve, you wouldn't be using banks in the first place.

The end result of the existence of Bitcoin. is that banks will need to shrink. There are just too many of them and they are redundant. They can shrink slowly, product of the natural disuse of them, or rapidly should the people of the world suddenly decided to withdraw their money which cannot occur under fractional reserve rules; your money is simply not there and most people remain ignorant of this.

With Bitcoin every coin is accounted for, you cannot do vapor money like banks do with fractional reserve. A bank can only work with Bitcoin with a full reserve, and that means you have to pay them to keep your money rather than the other way around (think bank vault). The Bank of Amsterdam used to work like this a century ago, such type of bank can never go bankrupt but makes far less money than the other banks doing the legalized ponzi scheme. In a similar fashion the Chicago school of economy needs the whole credit expansion system that this fake money provides. You will never understand Bitcoin place in the world without the Austrian school of economy where you grow slowly by saving, not quickly by getting in debt.

And yes, money that keeps its value overtime makes people save more, and you don't need a bank for that anymore.

Ready or not here we go. May 12 isn't? I can only wish for a diff decrease. but honestly doubt it. Mining is destined to become less and less profitable over time as intended.

Atypical halving, in the mid of a deadly world pandemic, the world economy collapsing, and bitcoin proudly recovering from a minor fluctuation.

If North Korea is mining, its the State that's doing it. There is no way people would be able to purchase any coin with their North Korean currency.

They are not really connected to the Internet, so aside from the rare embassy high ranking official, such thing is impossible. The State officials copy the things they seem fit from the real Internet to the State isolated network, and most access to this content occurs at public State institutions anyway.

So, no. Forget it. The State has nearly absolute control over the individuals there.

Leaving it open could be useful for immersion cooling, but most likely you will end having to turn the miner 90° anyway for vertical flow.

3 wire usually means it gets rpm reporting, just no speed control. Lets hope its the other way, and that third wire is just blindly controlling speed according to some inside sensor temp.

You could always buy a super cheap $25 used S9 and make it work downclocked. With Braiins OS you could set up a low powerlimit like 800W or manually lower the speeds and voltages so it produces around 10TH/s.

For the newer ones i guess you can wait to buy used ones with failed hashboards, perhaps running a T17 with a single board would do the trick?

Strange answers, are you people really unaware of the cgminer like API stats? Anyway you could use something like this: rig-stats.

If you switch the firmware of your miners to Braiins OS, you can make them join a VPN. Teamviewer is an aberration that should never be touched, and a serious security risk. If you have Linux experience, you'll be at home with OpenWrt rather than some obscure unmaintaned Chinese distro.

Awesomeminer does no magic, it polls the API like everyone else. With ssh access, you can let it do some more things like restarting.

With about 6 Exa hashes per second, Slush finds +10 blocks a day, so they do more than daily payments. And the fee is 2%, most PPS pools charge 4% due to being a risky model where they have to act like a bank for you. Also it might matter to some that its not in China but in the Czech Republic.

People doing online reviews often have biased interests. You should test each pool by yourself, remember to give it several days so it averages.

El de BCH se llama Electron cash. Si ellos mismos no promocionan sus carteras, no van a pretender ahora que los demás lo hagan.

Bitcoin Core es solo una de las carteras de Bitcoin, aunque es la descendiente de la original (e incluye el nodo).

De todos modos nunca se debe confiar ciegamente en dominios.

La minería Bitcoin ahora solo se hace con equipos asic industrializados. Como el Antminer S9 (generación anterior) o S17 (generación actual). Nada de PCs ni gpus.

La nube siempre es estafa, nunca lo olvides.

Con un cpu de pc no vas a sacar mas que algún centavo por mes, aun minando altcoins como Monero y seguramente pagarás mas en electricidad.

La empresa no es el problema, es el modelo. No dan las cifras para que el concepto sea rentable, sin importar lo que digan. Son casi siempre timos para captar dinero y luego salir corriendo. Y en el extraño caso que no salgan corriendo, tu "ganancia" misteriosamente saldrá negativa (pagastes mas que lo que ganastes), y eso cuando no te aplican las clausulas de las letras pequeñas (como cuando caen los precios) y adiós a la inversión.

La minería en la nube no funciona, punto.

It doesn't matter if it won't affect bitcoin's price (its not about a pump). But those Americans are outsmarting their government, exchanging vapor printed money with solid unique bitcoins. In the long run, should the USD collapse, the same things you can buy today you will probably be able to buy tomorrow with bitcoin, and possibly even more if you wait even longer longer.

That said bitcoin is back to 7.5k, which is the same price it had last year, it has already outperformed world's economy.

Aren't they forbidden to go out due to quarantine measures? Are you sure they won't come later at you with some large bill?

Well i guess with most industries stopped, there should be some surplus.

Whats the point when i already said uMatrix does that? Did you even read my post? Gorhill wrote uBlock, Gorhill also wrote uMatrix they work fine together.

LibreWolf is specifically made for privacy concerned people. It is a continuation of the now defunct LibreFox, which itself is a fork of Firefox.
Yes Firefox too is full of junk, maybe less than Chrome, but still too much tracking and phone home things. You can check the details in the LibreWolf home page.

I no longer recommend Waterfox as this was sold in February to an advertising company, so stay away from it.

I still don't agree with that newfangled "dark" terminology.

Anyway Tor is not the only one, but all the posts here seem to focus in Tor, maybe some would think that's "The" Dark web? Wrong.

Its not union its onion. Tor means The Onion Router.

You can publish content that is only available inside Tor, in their terminology its a "Hidden service". The best thing is you can publish it from your PC and no one needs to know its you, so its great for freedom of speech. When you do this, it creates a .onion address that is only visible when using Tor.

Because its a separate network, it has no relation with the "normal" web, this also means all the official domain servers for internet do not exist inside tor, so no .com for you. There is only .onion, and nothing else. Its more like a convenience to tell browsers (and users) you want something not from the normal internet, but from tor.

Because there is no control in what people can publish, it is possible to find "questionable" content in there. Doesn't mean its the majority or even the main reason it exists. Tor is an invaluable tool to defeat censorship, but yes it was actually made for Navy agents to pass info from behind enemy lines. Its is nice of them to share their project to the world, since its open source you can be sure there are no hidden backdoors. (Same way the NSA gave us SELinux).

I hope you don't lose your excitement expecting to see some sort of matrix like thing when it could actually be some boring text page about things you already know or even someones blog using a pseudonym.

It is said Satoshi used tor sometimes. The confusion may arise because tor also allows access back to the "normal" web, but this access comes from volunteers willing to run exit nodes. Unfortunately all sorts of people abuse this and very often those IPs are flagged even if you have done nothing wrong there was some idiot script kiddie insulting people in some forum or trying "hacking tools" against others from the same IP.

There are some projects that don't have this link back to the normal internet, bypassing the problem but becoming relegated to obscurity. Maybe that's why they call them "Dark"? It still sounds silly to me.

Anyway i refuse to call Tor deep, dark or whatever sounds cool. Its just another tool to defeat censorship. It kinda resembles the Internet in the 90ies, before "normies" invaded it.

Itchy & Scratchy inside the Simpsons is a parody of Tom & Jerry, it adds the gore that would naturally occur from such violence, its like a honest version of it.

I did grew up watching endless re-runs of Tom & Jerry, I think one doesn't stop to think too much about it when one is so young. Its like watching some action movie, plot doesn't matter.

The TV is obsolete, everything is streamed on demand now. Back then you had no choice or say in the matter, and i seem to recall it was like half to one hour daily and that was it. Today you could marathon them all nonstop if you wanted.

Like it or not the world is different. He had a good run, 96 years is no joke. His works reached audiences all over the world.

If you ever saw a video game console called "Nintendo", you might think it came with Super Mario Bros. Actually that was the late US release, the original console in Japan came with: Popeye (a flawless port from the Arcade). So the Japanese kids got an American character while the American kids got a Japanese character...

uBlock Origin and uMatrix (same author) is one of the best must have combos any browser should always have.

Adblock should not be used. You can pay the author to let some ads pass, that's quite absurd, it shouldn't even be mentioned.

uBlock is an ad blocker done right (and lighter). What is uMatrix? Freedom. I mean, you can either whitelist or blacklist "things" from pages, domains etc. What things? Things like cookies, css, images, media, script, XHR, frame, other. YOU are in control of your browser, not them.

The net isn't safe, and browsers shouldn't be naively used without these basic protections. Of course a secure OS and a secure browser are always recommended, in addition to these.

Browsers are basically divided in two families: Firefox and Chromium. For both families these addons/extensions exist.

Ungoogled-chromium and LibreWolf should be considered by privacy concerned people. Tor browser is also great but its on a whole new level.

Take a look at the logs, when its autotuning, it shows the word TUNE (Cheesy Tune) . It may restart many times while trying different speed and voltage combinations until it decides it has the best one.

And yes we have requested better signaling for this, maybe some alert in the UI and i personally requested a led indication, lets hope they make it soon

It seems they are focusing in bug fixing, improving (and saving) the results of autotuning, and add S17 support.

Be careful fiddling with the powerlimit value, i think this value is based on estimation, I don't think the controller can tell how many watts the PSU is really pulling. A tool for measuring is the safest bet, don't pop your PSU! The default is 1420W which should be safe.

Braiins OS in the year 2020 offers two versions:

Braiins OS Community edition: No fees, no autotune.
Braiins OS+ Enterprise edition: 2% devfee with autotune.

The autotuning component remains closed proprietary, but the rest shares the same open source code.

Also, both editions use BOSminer rather than cgminer, which allows Stratum V2 for secure connections to any pool that supports it.

If you decide to use Braiins OS+ with Slushpool, the pool fee is half, so instead of a 2% pool fee you now pay a 1% pool fee.
