Perhaps with such rapid growth and popularity and by seeing the enormous potential of bitcoin. it attracts the attention of governments to give statements about the legality of bitcoin. Although currently not many…

I think a digital multimeter (DMM) would be more useful as a first tool for servicing a hash board. A cheap DMM will probably work alright, just make sure to get some high quality, long tip probes.

As far as I know, what I’m describing above doesn’t exist (yet). I think it would be amazing if it did exist though. Solar is the best decentralized power we have so far. It’s a perfect match for decentralized Bitcoin…

this is a great idea! Mining chips are fundamentally low voltage DC devices, just like solar cells. As others have said though, it will require some extra equipment in addition to the solar panel. Solar panels have a…

Yes, it’s very possible! There are a couple designs in the works that I know about with both BM1397 and BM1366. The BM1366 is especially well suited to chaining multiple chips together. The ASIC is the hardest part to…

Hi seek3r! Thanks for your support! It’s a daunting project for sure. Have you heard of d-central? They are a miner repair shop in Canada that has been a big supporter of the bitaxe. They are selling partially assembled…

Initial tests are sitting just under 500 GH/s and 22 J/TH. plenty of optimization left to do. I agree.. things have been moving a little fast for organizing just yet, but it does need to happen sooner or later yes,…

AFAIK there are no datasheets for these parts.

Just wanted to share some exciting news about a fresh version of the bitaxe miner that's in the works, built on the Bitmain BM1366 ASIC from the Antminer S19XP. Like the earlier versions that used BM1387 (S9) and BM1397…

Oh this is cool! Extra points for removing those stupid stock S9 power cables and connectors.

I have the transactions report form, I just need to know how to put this on which form each of these transactions and transfered ones.

I'm trying to use cointracking.info to prepare my tax report based on what I got from Coinbase. I've moved my crypto to different wallets and brought some back to Coinbase. Do I need to include all these transfers? How…

Of course the bitcoin legality has never had any effect on bitcoin activity, and i think it might be lucky if your country still doesnt have a tax regulation on bitcoin. But once in a while the government will apply tax…

It sure would be cool to figure out how to skip the inverter and keep everything low voltage DC. If you got some lithium batteries, everything could run on 5V I wonder if it would be better to take any money you would…

Nearly every stratum pool I have seen supports the version-rolling extension. that adds a version_bits field to mining.submit. afaik It's necessary to support ASICboost. Where does 60x come from? every 30s is pretty…

Whoa! This is blowing mind! Is the BM1398 (and BM1362) version rolling on the chip?? I would love to learn more about this. Or maybe they are ntime rolling? I guess that’s a lot easier.

The distinction is that the ESP32 doesn't run Linux. Because of that it can be significantly lower performance, and cheaper. All the while still being a very decent miner for ~6 ASICs Cgminer is really setup to run on a…

Yes, do it!! The world needs open source Bitcoin mining hardware and firmware!

Ignore the nay-sayers. This is a fun and valuable exercise that every bitcoin mining enthusiast should try at some point. Bitcoin core does not have the stratum server that miners require. You need some additional…

If only there was a pool for the public that worked well for low hash rate solo lottery miners / information stations… hmmmmmm
