Exactly. The #xnsub implementation lets the pool change the work at will, which is a concern for security.

So, do these A1346 miners support #xnsub? Sounds risky.

Here’s a thought experiment: imagine you’re making $100 a day and it costs you $50 to earn that. If your earnings drop by 10%, your profit doesn't just fall by 10% it drops by 20%. It's all about those costs involved.…

It's not about racing. The mining process is just brute force hoping for leading zeros. Every miner has a shot based on their hash rate. Currently, the network difficulty is huge, so each hash is just a tiny chance of…

Don’t forget the banks that have been profiting for ages off traditional energy sources.

Yeah, there are bigger setups than that. Like, a 50 MW farm on 248 acres was built in China. Just saying, it’s possible but not common.

Lol, no way anyone has a 25 MW solar farm and just drops a gmail on here for their first post. Sounds more like a backyard setup at best. Maybe a 12 kW system that anyone can throw up at home for a decent price.

And from the software side... check this link for more info.

Nothing is without impact... but yeah, 25% of Iceland’s power is geothermal.

That’s nice to know! Any idea how much it changes with different firmware?

Wait, are you saying both miners get separate work even if they’re pointed at the same pool? That’s how it usually works, lol. If there’s a pool that doesn’t do that, it’s a total fail. Worker names don’t change the…

Does it account for all the trades happening globally in the last 10 mins? I mean, while miners are busy, tons of transactions pop up. Are those included or not?

Yeah, I also think paper backups are better. What I do is export private descriptors in JSON, then GPG-encrypt that file and print the encrypted cipher.

Here are the real network usage stats for a standard miner. If you switch to third-party firmware, who knows what extra data it might send.

Well... remember, every block is found by a single miner first. So even if it’s a low hashrate, it doesn’t change how blocks are found.

What happens if a recession hits? The government can’t just make more Bitcoin. And what about all the whales who own more than the government? If they decide to sell, it could crash.

That other thread talks about reaching the cap and rounding issues... which honestly doesn’t really matter. Sounds like someone doesn’t get it and is just trying to spin a story.

There’s something called 0xAxe out now. 16 chips doing 8 TH/s at just 190W. Looking forward to the next version!

Mining means generating heat, so if you don’t want heat, you’ll have downtime. That's just part of it.

Been around for a while, this concept isn't new. I’ve used Avalon miners for ages. Simply put, these heaters won’t make you money without noise issues. A7 and A8 series are quiet, but this heater? Good luck if you think…
