If this country keeps this as State policy, it will become the wealthiest of its region, Dubai 2.0 or something

This was an unique chance in history to do so, others can copy but the first gets the most benefits, just like those who trusted Bitcoin in the early years did.

It is because mostly old people are the ones opposing it, well and totalitarian regimes, and they have trying to mimic the Chinese, with absolute failure.

So now it is "State backed crypto", ie. printing without actual printers! Using euphemisms like CBDC or such to not make it look as ugly as they truly are.

However, the system is nearing a collapse (again), another world crisis is looming with the Americans printing USD like there is no tomorrow. Well, no matter how mighty your economy is, sooner or later the result shows, which is why they now have the highest inflation since 4 decades or so, and can only grow faster and faster. Trump and now Biden are simply doing the same thing Maduro and Mugabe did, and the results can only be the same, that is how the economy works, it doesn't care who you are or what are your intentions, certain actions produce certain results (and usually the best action is do nothing, but politicians can't help it, give them power and they will abuse it sooner or later).

Money emission ("printing") produces inflation, doesn't matter what your excuse is. The USD can actually collapse and fall in the same hyperinflation spiral seen in so many cases of history, and people will not have enough time to flee to a safe asset, such as bitcoin. Induced inflation from overbudgeting is the most tyrannical of taxes, and you have no say about it, unless you get rid of that thing that is losing value before is too late. And guess what? That makes it worse, but you can't command the market, that is what those totalitarian leaders always fail to realize.

Almost a century ago, the US crashed its economy, from being blinded by keynesianism etc. And that "pillar of freedom", banned ownership of gold and seized it from everyone until the 70ties. Don't forget that these guys can do things like that because those powers exist. Bitcoin is not controlled by your government, and never will. Regulation can be circumvented, and it will always be, because it was designed to resist it. So the less regulation, the better. In my opinion, the only realistic tax you could impose to bitcoin is VAT, simply because the State can go do physical audits to the business selling/importing goods.

A dev once told me once they could just increase the decimals from 8 to 16, so a new naming unit would probably be needed, unless you want to deal with "old satoshis" and "new satoshis".

Lightning already added 4 more but that is "off chain".

So if the single satoshi becomes way too expensive, an easy fix can be implemented.

As for your opinion, unfortunately the State can get in the way. Some people would want to, but the State is forbidding them from freely accepting payments and pay with bitcoin. But with time, as the old politicians retire, the younger generation who is far more open to bitcoin, will ensure the necessary changes are in place so this can be done.

The final goal is to be able to pay and be paid with bitcoin. no exchanges, no banks, no middlemen.

1. Fluctuation will naturally reduce overtime, just like gold.
2. Many people use the USD as a reference, but what if the USD collapses? It will likely pull other fiats into inflation as well, so the reference might as well change to something else like gold.

The bitcoin purchase power can only increase overtime, but should be lower and lower increases, it would eventually get nearly stable but who knows how many years that would take, maybe a century or two...

As in any place, there are going to be clandestine miners. Of course they cannot be "huge" anymore, since the State can seize everything and put them to prison if caught.

I bet some even use satellite links, a practice that is absolutely forbidden there, so they would need to hide it well. Bitcoin itself is illegal right? And yet, some people will accept it and pay with it, same thing, covering their tracks as best as they can.

Yes we do... You just did, again.

S9 and anything using the molex mini-fit connector (such as T1, etc), that some people say can only take 30 cycles before losing good contact and burning themselves from the increased resistance, happens to anyone using any firmware. But you tried again, and again, and again to imply Braiins was somehow involved. So there you have it, you got caught yet again spreading FUD. What are you so desperate for? Can't you actually deliver from any of your own promises?

Haha, you wish you actually had a proper autotuning, but no amount of "whipping" others can produce it. But thats fine, you are an overclocker, overclocking only needs to ramp up those volts and that's probably the extent of your "code logic". Who needs efficiency? Free electricity no? crank it to 11

You are full of lies, as always. But people know you and your "work" "ethics" anyway, so you are just a waste of time.

Keep "vAnishing" machines. Have you learned coding already? Of course not, all you do is "whip" others (your words, not mine).
And yes, you started it, so stop the FUD and lies. Maybe just start getting to work and actually fulfill your signed contracts for a change...

As for writing eeproms... That's done by bmminer (modded cgminer), and we never touched that, you did. Go fight with your fellow compatriots and let the people who actually work alone. How many S19 have you turned worse than a couple of S17+ today? Keep dreaming, 220TH is it? why not take it to 250?

eFuses are tripped by malware, which typically only occurs with factory or modded firmware, simply because your compatriot malware developers have not bothered with a different OS, but that's not an excuse to not set a proper password. You are definitely confused (again), so take your complaints to them.

Of course we no longer see you scaring people after you got muted in the group. An yet you keep your minions spreading the fud elsewhere. Put them to work instead of wasting time, its amazing how you can take ages to change a little web page, no wonder you can't code your own software instead of infringing cgminer.

Thanks for your feedback!

In case others are wondering the calculator is here: https://insights.braiins.com/

Just use the satoshi directly, its not a big deal.

The bitcoin is just shorthand for "a 100 million satoshis".

Why say "0.000025 BTC" when you could just say "2500 satoshis"?

Its not that hard, countries like Japan and South Korea don't bother with cents, that's obsolete.

I'm sure Kano can tell you how "legitimate" is the code injecting that causes memory leaks and crashes, that also happens to corrupt eeproms from unsuspecting victims.

In short they are illegal for not sharing back whatever modifications they did. But how is a British supposed to sue some Russian? They just don't care. Thieves stealing thieves, or should we better say pirates plundering fellow pirates? Yarr!

Because that takes actual work
Also, they can't close what is open, that would be infringing Braiins copyright... And the rest of the OS is OpenWrt.

I know, but don't go above powerlimit 1200.

Para minar no hacen falta nodos, y los que montan nodos no necesariamente minan. Puesto que la inmensa mayoría usan pools, y estos pool tienen sus nodos, los mineros como tal no tienen necesidad alguna mas que no sea por querer apoyar des-interesadamente la red, porque beneficio económico no deja correr un nodo.

En Rusia hay minería, es cierto, pero no es por el número de nodos que se sabe eso. En China es distinto, hay persecución fuerte incluso contra funcionarios del Estado. Es una cacería de brujas. El grueso de eso, los que mas aportaban riqueza, se han mudado a los países vecinos e incluso algunos lejanos.

Todo es porque los políticos chinos piensan que se van a comer al mundo con su yuan digital... Y lo que va a ocurrir en verdad es que ese yuan caerá junto al dólar y el euro en la próxima gran crisis mundial que está por venir y de la cual solo los tenedores de bitcoin podrán aguantar

Tienen miedo porque saben que Bitcoin les tiene sus días contados.

¿Para que se inventaron los bancos centrales?

Para auxiliar a los bancos debido a su reserva fraccionaria.

¿Para que se inventó el FMI/BM? para auxiliar a dichos bancos centrales.


Bitcoin independiza a la gente de los bancos. No es necesario cuenta de banco para tener bitcoin, recibir pagos y hacer pagos.

El FMI está aterrado, luego que El Salvador los mandó de vuelta para su casa y temen que el ejemplo se repita, y se va repetir.


Bitcoin al ser un dinero que no pierde valor en el tiempo, a diferencia del fiat y las altcoins, está indirectamente llevando al mundo a la economía de la escuela austríaca, una economía basada en el ahorro a largo plazo y no en la locura del débito y la expansión crediticia que producen las crisis interminables.


Cuando una tecnología llega y hace obsoletos modos de vida e industrias, claro que hay grupos con miedo. La banca se había vuelto necesaria, pero bitcoin la ha devuelto a su lugar, ya no es necesaria, es opcional. Algunos la seguirán usando, pero se tendrán que encoger.

¿Endeudarse para emprender? No, ahorra y luego emprende, sin ataduras a nadie. Es mas lento, pero mas firme y seguro. No le tengas miedo a la deflación, abrázala, estudia a los economistas de la escuela austríaca para comprender el mundo que está por venir.


Y si un economista te quiere sembrar miedo, incertidumbre y duda, pregúntale si estudió a los austríacos primero, si dice que no, no le prestes mas atención.

If El Salvador maintains a pro bitcoin attitude as State policy (instead of a single party or ruling group) it will become the wealthiest country in Central America, and the neighbors will have no choice but to try get a piece of the pie by going pro bitcoin.

I'm only worried that if the Bukele party stops being in power the others would adopt the opposite attitude out of revenge. That is how our Latin American countries do politics, and is the reason they have remained in poverty for so long.

The people from El Salvador will hopefully see this and keep voting for them, this opportunity is unique and will never return.

Arena and "El Frente" are disgusting and should be ashamed for their typical myopic attitude that left their own country in poverty for decades.

No, they don't want bitcoin, they want digital fiat, which is garbage.

What politicians fear? Losing control. What bitcoiners want? to kick out those politicians from manipulating their money. There cannot be a compromise, its either free (as in freedom) or its not.

This struggle is only beginning, but victory is in our side, we will free ourselves from them, with or without their cooperation.

To me those old fools are trying to return the genie into the bottle. It is too late, they cannot undo bitcoin, and they cannot have their world without bitcoin again.

Fear it all you want, and have all central banks of the world spread FUD, this means we are succeeding, and they are afraid, because they have become obsolete.

El Salvador won't be the last, and they are fearing this the most. The future is here, and they are the past. If the USD collapses from its continued mis-management, it will just accelerate the inevitable, people will want bitcoin, no matter what those in power do, even in China, or those 15 oppressive countries that dared forbid bitcoin. Let them see their neighbors prosper while they sink in poverty, see how long they keep their anti bitcoin attitude.

Time is in our side, there is no turning back.

DuckDuckGo is my main search page. I just tried searching for "bitcoin", and the first result is bitcoin.org, the second is, .com...

I see none of these ustradersjournal links. The next links are a bunch of major media outlets such as cnn, forbes, cnet, etc.

If you use Windows, i would be far more concerned about what your OS may possibly have acquired...

Loose heatsinks are a staple of the x17 family, this has nothing to do with firmware.

Also, the power limit exists for a reason. If you are paranoid, you should have lowered this value first.

In reality, the correct fix is to resolder all heatsinks before even powering up these machines. Else you enter a roulette. Will a heatsink fall or not? You never know. You can blame it on Braiins OS until it happens again, but then you won't write it here, which is very typical.

You can't do this with x17. You have to uninstall using the bos-toolbox because other firmware does not understand the different OS.

To correct this, install using the bos-toolbox and then uninstall.

Or, install Braiins OS+ using the sd card image, and then use bos-toolbox to uninstall. You can use the control board stand alone.

This does not change the boot up sequence, it only affects the situation where bosminer is stopped, such as when someone with solar panels wants to stop mining at night.

When you give power to the fans, before any control is done, they will spin at full power as they were designed to do. It is only when either bosminer_monitor or bosminer start, that they can control the fans, not before.

Because Braiins OS is the fastest booting fw, this really isn't a problem for most users.

If you are permanently using low power limits, why not just replace the fans with low speed aftermarket solutions? Maybe 3k rpm?

100% to 50%:

ssh root@ip.ad.re.ss "/etc/init.d/bosminer_monitor stop && sed -i 's/fan_set_duty(i, 100)/fan_set_duty(i, 50)/g' /usr/sbin/bosminer_monitor.lua && /etc/init.d/bosminer_monitor start"

At your own risk...
