Um, what "new IRS ruling for miners"? Link please... What you describe is how the IRS has always treated mining income. In short, nothing new here.
I got into Bitcoin mining back when rewards were sky-high and competition was chill. Fast forward to now, and it’s a totally different game. The difficulty has shot up, and making a profit is super tough. I still…
Good question. The current 'leader' is Terra Pool which has 1.82EH behind them per the website (if you dig deep enough). Their peak on testnet-3 was >300TH/s in the last 24 hrs so thank God more isn't coming from them.…
Yep. It also reinforces the point that the only reasons there are folks hitting the testnet so hard is because: A. They can B. They enjoy screwing with testnet and breaking what it is intended to be used for C. Sad to…
Folks, you DO realize that anyone with a SINGLE current high-end miner can easily do a Testnet 51% attack right? The Bitmain S21 XP hydro does 473TH/s.... Just checked and that greatly exceeds the current total pointed…
^^ Exactly. By design testnet coins are worthless so who the fu** cares? The only folks affected are the idjits that think or insist they should have value. If some folks strive to burst their bubble - works for me!
Considering testnet coins are supposed to have ZERO value, a 51% attack is not only meaningless but also pointless. The tBTC coins are only needed to test code, once the testing is done no one should care about them and…
Billions of dollars that has the potential to change a country has been loss just because a few greedy bastards don't want to pay properly on how much they are really earning. Now with what theybare proposing I am…
- Need assistance with CGMinerDec 22, 2025
By getting it from Kano's GIT, https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer then reading the extensive README and pointing it at a supported ASIC-based miner...
Nothing if you have one or a 555 timer/couple resistors & caps with knowledge to make one. For those who don't, this is plug-'n-play.
Only thing I would suggest adding is a strobe input via opto-isolator to turn off the fan simulation and force the miner(s) to shut down. The strobe would be fed from a flow switch somewhere in the system. That way if…
- Using Raspberry PI for MiningSep 16, 2025
Folks, if you just take a little time to read pinned messages here you will save yourself from asking ridiculous questions like that... As a bonus you might even learn a bit more faster. Please ref…
- Thoughts on repurposing old phones and tabletsAug 15, 2025
Um - DOS is an operating system... Also DOS is tightly tied to x86 CPU's. Considering the devices you mentioned are using ARM CPU's, well...
- Review of the Bitmain Antminer S15 28TH/sMay 22, 2025
Directly giving folks an Answer like that ^^ does not encourage them to learn and think for themselves.... I gave the 'why' and stand by my answer as OP knows how to do the math so let them do it themselves based on…
- Review of the Bitmain Antminer S15 28TH/sMay 21, 2025
Only wattage is specified because by themselves the Amps pulled or voltage in are meaningless. Only using the 2 together giving you wattage matters. A miner ran with a high line voltage will pull less amps than a miner…
And statistically it is also literally possible for a child to be born with wings and can fly. Point is, to say the least both are extremely unlikely to happen.
Forget it, period. Ref https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0 mainly point-3 Even for learning purposes, using anything other than an ASIC-based miner is absolutely pointless because CPU's/GPU's process the…
- Mining under PoW is not a securities offerApr 8, 2025
My problem is with them saying it is solving a complex equation. Brute force is just gazillions of random guesses hoping that one of them is right. There are no math operations performed beyond taking a previous failed…
- Mining under PoW is not a securities offerApr 2, 2025
Too bad they used the wildly inaccurate line about mining "being the solving of complex mathematical equations"... For 1, even applying sha256 for actually creating a key or using it is NOT a complex math operation - it…
One can only hope that is the case. Inno may be a terrible company to work with but at least we know who/where they are and can contact them. Question is -- does the T2 use AB? If it does then per Little Dragon LLC's…
