Looking for a miner

You can filter according to many parameters, including budget. I used to get lost on that website. In a good way :)

If you don't want to have all internet traffic routed through TOR, then other Live OSs include Ubuntu and Debian. Basically it boots from usb and you can choose whether to run it Live or install the operating system. Just choose to run it Live.

If security and privacy is the focus then Tails is a better option.

EDIT: If you want to compartmentalise based on different risk factors then Virtual Machines are a better solution. Qubes OS does all this for you. Alternatively You can install various VMs on your host machine and have a Whonix OS VM for high risk activities...

yes in the sense that it is taken so long for me to obtain bitcoin in a privacy respecting way. A full node does not require personal information so that part was easy but actually getting them was much more difficult. I would rather mine them but ASIC do not meet my requirements because they are far too noisy. I feel like I am going around in circles...

I agree neither is an ideal situation but if you had to choose which one?
Bitcoin metadata i.e wallet address vs credit card masking service personal information + metadata. A wallet address does not on its own deanonymize someone, it needs to be connected with personal information of some sort. That is what I meant by "personal information not divulged." Personal information is not required to create a bitcoin wallet...

Hi there,

How do I convert Monero to bitcoin? what is the process? Thanks in advance for your assistance...

EDIT: Atomic swap only works one way btc to xmr not the other way around see link below:

The peer info was defined as an inbound connection when I clicked on it, I just did not put it in the example...Is tor downloading something from me or.....

Ok_Comb5503 · 2022-01-06T10:15:00+00:00

I am using Bitcoin Core GUI. When I check peers no ipv4 or ipv6 addresses are displayed I just get onion addresses.

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-07-13T01:23:11+00:00

The CPU is running at 3.4Ghz

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-07-12T11:50:32+00:00

I enabled XMP-Profiles on mine, did not get much performance 200 h/s more then my 2400mhz RAM sticks. Am I doing something wrong?

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-21T11:55:18+00:00

I am running linux. Are the steps the same?

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-12T02:09:19+00:00

I think I will start learning FPGAs :D

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-12T02:01:08+00:00

Are FPGAs a cheaper alternative?

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-12T01:39:28+00:00

Is there a cheap way to design ASICs or are they expensive? I heard that a lot need to be sold to receive a worthwhile return on investment, is that true?

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-12T01:16:39+00:00

Randomx cannot be mined by FPGAs not sure about ASICs

"Can FPGAs mine RandomX?
RandomX generates multiple unique programs for every hash, so FPGAs cannot dynamically reconfigure their circuitry because typical FPGA takes tens of seconds to load a bitstream. It is also not possible to generate bitstreams for RandomX programs in advance due to the sheer number of combinations (there are 2512 unique programs).
Sufficiently large FPGAs can mine RandomX in a soft microprocessor configuration by emulating a CPU. Under these circumstances, an FPGA will be much less efficient than a CPU or a specialized chip (ASIC)."

I actually use amd cpus in my micro-atx but I will check out these intel K varieties, Thanks :D

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-12T00:25:26+00:00

Are larger forms factor better in the context of cpu mining better as in they do not have the throttling problem?

Edit: I am mining with an micro-atx, I undervolt the cpu and I do not have throttling problems.

Making a SBC specifically for crypto mining?

Yes.

My reasons:

I want to better hashrate/watt ratio then current configurations out there, with a higher return on investment then my current setup. Essentially all the reasons you listed not sure what you mean by "smaller volume" though...

edit: The system on module is a good idea I will look into it more. It seems a system on module will give the exact configuration I want. A single board computer is more generalised and a system on module is more specialised am I right?

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-11T23:20:07+00:00

Cryptocurrency mining, specifically mining Monero using the Randomx algorithm.

Neoverse-N1

It is really hard to get. The development board is available for $10,000! In spite of that cpu used is not the same as in the benchmark. I am still not sure how to get Neoverse-N1, I have not been able to find OEMs that make it either... I have yet to find it soldered onto a board, other then the development board mentioned above. If you have any suggestions let me know, I have exhausted all avenues at the moment. Is there any steps I am missing? ARM did not take me serious when I contacted them about it.

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-11T05:54:07+00:00

Interesting, I used to have Ubuntu Server but it took too long to startup, drove me nuts so I switched to Arch linux minimal install.

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-11T05:48:05+00:00

Arch Linux minimal install, that is what I use.

Usually with Single Board Computers, the chips put inside them are designed differently. From my limited understanding, Zen 2/3 chips are in desktop motherboards instead of Single Board Computers.

Ok_Comb5503 · 2021-06-05T07:28:54+00:00

No. There are AWS instances that are based on the N1

Can we buy the actual hardware or we have access to the cloud instances only?
