As has been mentioned it`s the battery that will likely let you down, I did this myself on a smaller scale and about 4 hours after the sun went down my Miner stopped. Yes I was getting enough power throughout the day…

Well I did wonder about that because the solder I use melts at about 300C (60/40) but there are low temp solders out there and I wasn`t sure.

Is anyone else unplugging their ASICs due to the heat? Last night, one of mine hit 58c and the others are sitting around 50c. I heard that at around 60c, they could actually fail because of melting solder. Is that…

Ok, so the node`s been running perfectly now and I managed to stop the lid closing from turning off the wifi by altering a config file and it`s all good! I`v bought a second 2tb internal ssd drive for the laptop so I…

well I`m at 58% now and it`s still saying another 22 hours! LOL I guess that`s because the block height increased over time. I need to find some sort of instruction manual for it now, even if it`s just how to keep it…

yup, I`m thinking that too, I seem to have 2 versions on here with very similar items in each and I dare not delete one in case it`s the wrong one! I`m happy with this -QT version though, it makes a lot more sense to…

unbeleivable! what I thought was me running bitcoinD again wasn`t, in fact when I checked "task manager" it`s Bitcoin-qt working! it must be lagged or something because there was no sign at all that QT was doing…

Ok, so in that thing that`s a bit like task manager I stoped the Bitcoind process then killed it, I then tried to open the bitcoin-qt and still nothing? same with a couple of other BIN files like Wallet and they did…

I`v no idea, I did find a bitcoin-qt in my downloads directory in the BIN folder along with others including the bitcoind (which is running fine), I tried running the Bitcoin-qt binary and it does nothing!? I tried…

I tried entering bitcoin-qt into terminal and it says: command not found then I tried this line from the bitcoin.org site: /usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt and that comes back with: bash: /usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt: no such…

so do I just type: bitcoin-qt in the terminal?

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed here! I took an old laptop, replaced its dead battery, and added a new one along with a 2TB SSD. It's got 8GB of RAM, and I'm planning to upgrade to 16GB soon. After a lot of trial and…

Yes and No, in general terms it`s very unlikely to be profitable unless you get free electricity, But, if you`re commited to using electricity for heating, then using a miner to do that same heating task could be…

That`s much better than mine, what Firmware version are you on, I`m on: 24032701_48bd3a6 I get roughly... Low: 1.5 Th/s @ 62W Med: 2.7 Th/s @ 92W High: 3.8 Th/s @ 137W

What power level are using there? and have you managed to get the full 4Th/s yet? I`v been running mine for a few weeks now and it`s never hit 4, I`v been getting roughly 3.5(ish) at max like your logs show. So I run…

Now that`s interesting, I never knew that! I know I read somewhere that the dificulty is adjusted every 2 weeks, but that`s probably only true for the current hashrate.

So if there were a single miner and node, then all candidate transactions would be stored in that nodes memory pool until the miner figured out the correct hash and then the block containing those transactions would be…

Riiight! so the bit I was missing belongs in the Nodes functionality, that makes sense now I`v so gotta get one of those!

I'm trying to get a better grip on Bitcoin, but there's this thing that's got me confused, and honestly, I don’t even know how to ask about it (so please, no harsh feedback!). How exactly are these "blocks" put…
