In theory, at a certain point difficulty will drop and mining will go back to being more home miner friendly, but that is decades in the future. Possibly, or more people are going to keep their funds in their own…

An 11 year necro-bump. I think that is a record. If you run lsusb https://linux.die.net/man/8/lsusb What devices are listed. And the obligatory, did you reboot the Pi and power cycle the USB hub(s) that the miners are…

- 8% tax in New York on sold minersJan 31, 2025
mikespax, any update? Just wondering if you spoke to a tax person or lawyer or the NYS tax people and what they said. Or, if they told you you can't talk about it that's fine too. -Dave
- 8% tax in New York on sold minersJan 31, 2025
Starting with. This is not tax advice, I am not a tax lawyer, I am not an accountant, I have no real knowledge of this just what I read online. As far as I can tell, so long as you can prove you sold them and shipped…
- 8% tax in New York on sold minersJan 26, 2025
If you sold them in NY and did not collect sales tax then yeah, you probably owe it. If you sold them out of NY I am not sure of how that works in terms of collecting for other states and remitting it to the other…
The problem is, and continues to be that at least for now the states who are making these laws have average power rates AND not of other high tech businesses that may attract mining. Even now the Pacific NW with it's…
Lets call it what it really is, we want to put in the structure to allow people to do stuff so we can tax it. They put in all the nice wording but in the end of the day neither state has a lot of mining going on, and…
- Looking for free RPC credentialsJul 30, 2021
Yes to the testnet local. If you don't want to do testnet any of the BTC clone / shitcoins wallets should be easy enough to test on so long as their codebase is close to current core. Keep in mind that if you are…
Before doing anything, make a few backup copies of the wallet.dat file and store it on something offline / secure. Never do any manipulation / testing on your only copy. -Dave

- How to Fix the Reboot Loop After Switching to Turbo Mode on Apollo BTC MCU 1 with OS v2.1Feb 25, 2021
Wouldn't it just be easier to re-flash the card? All you have to do at that point is just re-enter your pool info. It's been a while but I know I messed up a few things when playing around and just re-flashed and went…
- ASIC miner cooling failure: worst caseFeb 18, 2021
But how many of those were due to heat vs bad electric setups. Too small a power cable, cheap PDUs or power strips, generic low cost power supplies that were a fire hazard running a PC at a few hundred watts never mind…
- ASIC miner cooling failure: worst caseFeb 18, 2021
Heat from the miners is usually the least of fire problems. The main issue is power supplies pushed to their limit and overheating / shorting, the electrical connectors pushed passed their limits and the back end…

When recovering the wallet.dat or the default_wallet OR ANY OTHER ACTUAL FILE. MAKE A BACKUP ON REMOVABLE MEDIA BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Hell make several, just in case. Let me bold that a bit more: MAKE A BACKUP ON…

So longs as the block is valid and built on top of another valid block miners do not care what TXs, if any are in a block. There are mining pools that allow you to submit the raw transaction to their pool without it…
Not sure if this is the right spot to bring it up, but I think it’s important to acknowledge it here in the hardware section. We've chatted a lot about Moore's Law over the years, like how fast we can push chips and if…
I'm with the I never heard of any of these group of people. Has anyone had ANY experience with them be it good or bad? Since the Ukrainian police were mentioned I can only assume that they were operating out of that…
