If interest in Bitcoin stays strong, I think there will still be a significant impact. New supply will drop while demand is hopefully growing. Seems like the market dynamics are changing, though.

Is that actually viable? Can you name any topical coins that are around now?

What about building your own ASIC? I vaguely remember a project from 2013 that had guides on making ASIC miners from scratch. Anyone else remember that?

It’s a shame but the mining scene seems to have shifted to only allow big companies to thrive. It’s likely gonna be hard for small miners to break through now. But who knows, the network is always shifting and adapting.

Proof that Knots is more insecure than Core. If they’re just copying code, who knows what slips through?

Heard there’s a similar bug in Knots too. They don’t seem to review their changes as thoroughly as Core.

This bug is a big deal. Losing access to funds is a nightmare, and it’s way worse than standard software issues.

True, but it’s tough to guarantee old versions will always work. They need a solid plan for converting older wallets.

Interesting take on this. So, if I'm getting it right, losing a seed phrase is just as bad as losing a regular password, right? Are you suggesting that the seed stays safe and the password is what your grandma uses?…

Totally get you! But let’s be real. There are tons of scammers using Bitcoin for their schemes, and that forces the justice system to step in and make rules. The community knows about all the scams, it sucks.

Oh yeah, and did you guys hear that the US Department of Justice set up a team to tackle crypto crimes? Just saw the announcement. Seems like they’re really stepping up their game on this.

I was digging around recently and found some stuff about Bitcoin on the U.S. Sentencing Commission's official site. They got articles and seminars for judges and prosecutors to better get the whole Bitcoin thing. They…

It’s not that straightforward though. If it were easy, many homes wouldn’t have sound problems between neighbors.

But that shrinks your space. If you stack too many boards, it can get cramped.

Definitely. It’s key to figure out the right setup for your space.

Exactly. Just adding cool air isn't enough. You need to push out stale air too. It's a balancing act between cooling and soundproofing.

Yeah, certified materials aren’t cheap. They run about $80 to $150 per square meter. It all depends on how much you need to cover. For a small rig, one plate might do.

Mining rigs generate a lot of heat, so cooling is key. But more cooling means more noise. If you're near houses, that noise can really get annoying for the neighbors. So, sound insulation is essential to keep things…

Is it still viable to be a garage miner today? I always dreamed about mining but never took the plunge. Feels like it’s getting less profitable by the day.

What’s the best performance you’ve gotten on the S19XP? It’s rated at 141T with 3031W. How low were you able to go?
