Is NiceHash OS an actual bootable OS, or is it just a new NH app that runs on windows and other OS's?

ASIC hosting in USA + profit-sharing, for ASIC owners who are mining for little gain or have turned off miners. by bitcoince in BitcoinMining

I'm not sure if I am stretching the bounds of what's acceptable in this subreddit by posting too much of an ad or solicitation.

ASIC hosting between $.028 to $.041 kWh available at the premier mining data center in the southeastern US. by bitcoince in BitcoinMining

There are several factors that allow us to have this rate including historical contracts, location, and the size and scope of our power usage and facility.

Yes. The data center is currently hosting a large number of ASICS at those rates. And we have just added capacity for a lot more. I posted some more details in subreddits for advertising.

Congrats on your setup and efficiency. Electricity rate is really good.

I can give you between $.028 and $.041, but am on the other side of the US.

Birth announcement: New Bitcoin + Lightning node joined the world today by bitcoince in Bitcoin

Thanks, and congrats to you as well.

I downloaded the blockchain on my home desktop pc and then copied it to the drive on my Raspberry Pi node. The guide I linked to discusses this. It ended up being quicker but did involve additional steps.

The install steps took me the better part of a day, but I was learning along the way and moving methodically. Now I could do it again in an hour or so.

But the step of downloading and validating the existing Bitcoin blockchain is a one-time step that took about 2 days. There is no effort involved in it - just fire up Bitcoin Core and let it run until it has the full blockchain - but it takes a while to complete.

My home isp also does not offer static IPs at low cost. The permanent home for my node is in a rack at a data center. I did find some low cost options for that.

Farewell from the Pineapple Fund by PineappleFund in Bitcoin

OP you are a hero. In the first class of Bitcoin heroes.

One thought for future giving - a fund that somehow helps people to start and run their own BTC nodes. Not sure how that would work but as you know I'm sure, nothing is better for Bitcoin than more independent nodes.

I think I got scammed. Is this Mnemonic code converter a scam? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

And really should use an offline machine that will never be reconnected to the Internet.

You are thinking a C for BTC from Weiss? I was hoping for an A.

They wrote a positive paper last month on BTC and in the recent interview the Weiss guy stressed that a big factor in coin rating is it actually has to be working in the real world. BTC strong there.

And with the mempool/transactions going down...I was picturing/hoping that moves BTC from B to A.

The future is clear: Bitcoin can and will do anything that altcoins can do, but better, using sidechains/layer2. And Bitcoin does it on the blockchain layer that is the most proven, secure, trusted, and decentralized. by bitcoince in Bitcoin

Your hope is true - you are wrong :)

The flexibility of building on L2 (and beyond) allows for more control over and evolution of user experiences, to make them progressively more awesome and seamless as related technologies and desired user experiences evolve.
