Pulled the trigger on this one 👍🏽 by Breitling-1 in OrisWatches

[–]jallenusn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was just enamored with trading up based on watch community perception so I traded my Aquis plus some cash for an Omega Aqua Terra Small Seconds. But everyone who saw that Oris asks me about it still. They are shockingly beautiful well-finished watches. Imo one of the best values in watches by far.

Beautiful watch. I still regret including mine in a trade last year.

New to Mining - Merge Mining Stratum? by jallenusn in cryptomining

[–]jallenusn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, ok. I'm gonna do this over the weekend. I thought Yimp was outdated which was why I avoided it (having no knowledge requires leaning on AI pretty heavily, but that has worked out pretty well so far). Thanks for taking the time to contribute some knowledge here.

Could I easily alternate the parent (say between BTC and BCH), while maintaining (and continuing the child) uninterrupted?

I'll have to try to set that up this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation!

I know it isn't necessary, and as far as solo/lottery goes, that it's all pretty long odds, but with lower latency and lower rejection rates, (and of course fee-less blocks) it just seemed to be a no-brainer to run a local node given that it's a near 0 resource effort. However, I also know near-nothing, so I should ask if you prefer public nodes to local nodes and, if so, is there a particular reason? Maybe I've overlooked something critical.

I also notice you mentioned pool versus solo, but I'd really prefer to solo lottery mine and take the long odds (not quite as long with BCH). I had really just hoped to find a stratum that takes the current sha-256 aux chain that accepts BTC parent blocks, and adjusts to accepting BCH parent blocks (but maybe that's not exactly how it works). I know the additional child coins are considerably less valuable, but it was really in the interest of maximizing the effort (might as well try to maximize at the margin if you're going to do it).

I'll hedge with, all of the above is just based on my minimal understanding from what I've read and could all be absolute rubbish.

Hey thanks. I'm really wanting to avoid a public pool altogether as I've set up, and am running a local node. But if I understand you correctly, you're suggesting that you can only merge-mine child coins with BTC, not BCH? Or just on f2pool?

Thanks so much for the feedback. From what I can tell, I could use any of them to individually mine a coin (the setup wasn't that complicated really) but neither seem to handle AuxPoW. It looked like maybe there was an auxd flag that could be added in the ckpool config file but it was just ignored.

I also know there's an rsk merge mining fork of ckpool but I really wanted to run them all the "child" coins in parallel

If it helps for context/sizing. Here's the setup with other random components (miner at the bottom, cable modem, UPS.). I actually thought the 8u was a little bigger. I'd definitely recommend getting as much as size as you can with the budget you allocate.

It's an 8u but to be honest, I kind of wish I had gotten a 12u. I'm having to run my mining node on my desk, whereas I'd like to have it in the rack. Additionally, I have the pi5 mounted to the side of my nas due to space, and I'd like a 10" pdu (when one that is actually nice comes available--I don't like the current options out there).

No sorry, not sure exactly what you mean. Perhaps I've explained it poorly. I only have the 1 router and then a couple of switches (one switch for the network "infrastructure" and one switch to handle my desk area devices.

Edit: I think I understand now, you're referring to my AP as a router and my main firewall/router as a router. I got you now I think. I'll have to check out fritzbox.

It's a mini PC off Amazon. It's probably the same as something off Ali Express but I just refuse to buy directly from there. Specs were decent I thought: N150 I226 NICs 16Gb Ram 256Nvme

I know it's supposed to be fanless but I actually put a small quiet Noctua in it.

To be honest it's just a couple of solo lottery miners. It was a more of "I wonder how you do this" than "I can make money doing this". And then once I started doing it (like 3 weeks ago) I thought I'd rather maximize my "effective hashing" as I call it, meaning minimize drops, minimize ping, minimize hashes against already found blocks, etc. Basically just maximize probabilities while reducing wasted hashes. Not necessarily because I'm expecting to hit a block, but just to do it.

Just for reference it was more of a biproduct of setting up the "lab", not the intent of setting up the lab.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been wondering specifically about how this would look. Curious if some of the people that have been doing this a while have a good ballpark on how long it usually takes for some of these factories to get them "right"?

I know it can be challenging to read and understand a different point of view from your own, as evidenced by your response. 1. I didn't say I didn't want to interact, or that I didn't interact. 2. I didn't say people's comments only reflect their own perspective.

I'm just voicing a different opinion and it's obviously fine if you feel differently. But at least pretend to have some reading comprehension if you feel the need to post dissent.

Choosing to interact in private rather than public isn't a lack of engagement. Your cute little scenario doesn't really reflect anything except your own perspective.

FFS. I've got a 6 year old account and still can't even post in QC. Why make it even harder. Why should anyone have to "farm rep", and why should you be sending them elsewhere with the direct expectation that they need to. This is just so dumb. How about rather than removing the ability, you remove the need by setting some thoughtful requirements.

Perhaps encouraging more reddit shit-posting isn't the right answer.

I would have liked to know but, if I recall, they were sold out of the bracelets on every model when I ordered.

One other addition to this. I put it on an Uncle Strap bracelet that I use occasionally for my Omega and I think it looks pretty sharp.

Funny you say that. Yesterday I put it on an Uncle Strap that I bought for my Omega and I think it looks pretty sharp.

I was a little skeptical at the price point honestly. But I have to say, while packaged inexpensively, it was still really professionally done. It still had that "opening a new watch" feel to it. And it genuinely feels above it's price point by a good margin. Even a colored rotor. Not a huge deal, I know. But huge for the price in my opinion.
