I am of the opinion ( and dreams ) that Bitcoin will eventually rebound when the recession is over ( Couple of years ). I have lost all faith in our fiat system. Left unmolested by the central bankers and decrepit…

So I'm making the switch from GPU/CPU mining to ASIC Mining and I've noticed that Bitmain S19 prices have really plummeted (from around 10K to like 3K). So, is this drop just because of the bear market or is there…

Thanks for the great information! According to the Farmer's Almanac, we're supposed to have an exceptionally cold winter this year. Will be nice to know Bitcoin will be keeping us warm and cozy this winter. Perhaps I'll…

I'm looking into whether it’s possible to connect the exhaust from my miner to the HVAC system during winter. Does anyone happen to know the CFM for the S19XP on the exhaust side? I checked the Bitmain website but…

Good points. (Un)fortunately this is just a hobby/interest for now, if I get past the exploration phase and want to do real things with the data I will need to scale up. It's definitely not the CPU (23% capacity) that…

Maybe significantly more... the last 11k blocks (Fall 2015) added 40GB - at that rate, I'm looking at about 2.5T total, just for this database. This is where I'm at currently... table_name | total_size…

Oh no, I missed that one. Just turned it up to 16GB and it didn't seem to change the speed. I'm on about block 400,000 after clearing the tables and starting over 36 hours ago (I noticed something in my code was failing…

The sync was faster than I expected... took about 22 hours. Created a schema tonight for the 10 structures I'm focused on along with an ingest script... sent it to work on the dataset -- looks like I should have this…

Appreciate your insights. I just put the hardware together today, installed the OS, cloned bitcoin, compiled/ran the core and it's now downloading the blocks and verifying. Decided to stick to what I know (Ubuntu Server…

So, here’s the deal: I want to set up a full Bitcoin node to do some deep analytics and tackle a few research questions I have about wallet behaviors, scarcity, and how price changes impact the whole ecosystem. I could…

Appreciate that tip (I've added blocksxor=0), I also discovered I wasn't running a stable release of 28, so I'm updating to 29.0 Downloading and syncing again. Should fix it.

So I've had my full node running for a while now without any hiccups. It's been syncing just fine and keeping up with blocks. But I tried to dig through my local data history faster without using RPC, relying on…

I did a print out of the combined total of all utxos where is_spent = false and I got back 20009210.72379106 ... which is close, but higher than the total supply in circulation (around 19.82m) I'm hoping the difference…

I'll need to do some more digging into what exactly Ordinals are. I'm still cleaning up the data. I discovered that about 140m of my utxos seem to be OP_RETURN and have an amount of 0.00000000 but are marked as unspent…

I've been diving into the raw data for the past few months after setting up a node and building a relational database just to play around with analytics. Honestly, my database is massive, like almost 4TB, a lot of which…

Looks promising when Pocket Universe gives a warning.

U are staking BGB which is a volatile asset. Looking at the price from 1 January 2025 (approx $6,00) and price now 4 September (approx $5,00) u lost money in $ amounts. I think there are better options than staking BGB…

The $ 119 unlimited plan is monthly and I inquired three times if it's $ 119 if I use 1000kw or 20000kw and they send there's no limit. I'm leaning towards the fixed rate plan for 3 years as I don't see how they can…

I am waiting on their fine print. I expressed the importance of expecting no surprises with anticipated increased usage but as you noted, scrupulous companies are a thing of the past. Thanks, Ron

In NE Ohio, we've got two choices A fixed rate at $0.065 per KW and an unlimited plan. You can secure the fixed rate for three years, which I think will cost about $160 a month. I'm trying to figure out how long the…
