These visuals for Sha-256 are great for noobies looking to mine, get bitcoin, or do there own stuff. I found a fun project is to try out the same input each time and watch the hash come out the same. Thats how hashes work, they are used by putting the block_header in the hash and seeing if someone's hash comes out below a target. If you have the same block_header, you'll get the same hash. You could say the block is arranged numbers; the hash.

Re: Hut 8 Mining Opens Third Facility, Hits 7,000 Bitcoins in Reserves
Having skin in the game means sustainable measures must be as common place as they were before. You now have a say in your energy nowadays. Hut 8 planning to draw 30 MW of power shows they are a coming into their own in terms of bitcoin mining but also becoming a burden on the electric grid. Having a sustainable end goal is what investors, companies and you want. I believe there are sustainable energy draws that come at the right price, for you, your company and your investors.
First, know you will never "get rich" using household/hobby mining hardware.
What you will do is acquire a hobby that has the potential to motivate you to learn a *LOT* of mathematics, much about the how the internet works, software development, and most of all patience (possibly the most important skill for any investor). At some point you'll even learn a bit of electronics, at the very least the relationship between volts, amps, and watts (and what the latter cost).
Meanwhile, think of investing as developing strength (or losing weight). You don't test everyday; you develop a plan and stick to it. Then at intervals you test (your plan) and make any changes you need.
Good luck!
Correct. Mining is a chicken-and-egg problem. You need money to make money.What you will do is acquire a hobby that has the potential to motivate you to learn a *LOT* of mathematics, much about the how the internet works, software development, and most of all patience (possibly the most important skill for any investor).

If you want to become rich off of nothing, I suggest becoming a software developer and helping mining farms optimize their operations. You could profit off the 'suckers' entering the market. Of course, the failure rate is 80-90% for software companies, so be prepared to spend up to 10 years throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. When one does succeed, the payoff will more than compensate for the 10 or so failures.
Software companies for bitcoin? What are they?

Hobbyist mining seems appealing to me. What kind of math is bitcoin?
Hey Talk,
I'm a miner wanting to ask how you cope with the stress of price changes. For me, I've been accustomed to lifting weights, exercising frequently and keeping to a ketogenic diet. For me, I've played football for eight years. I first found out about bitcoin when I just began playing and its been a hobbyist activity ever since. I've grown accustomed to studying and lifting weights That's mostly what I've done to cope with stress. So now moving into mining I wanted to ask Talk what you dawgs do for changes. Football, I picked up a N.W.C.C eighth grade title and have a state ring under my name. Hope to see mining be for me.

Hi all
Financing a new antminer S19j Pro as I spend time working remotely for a cryptocurrency project Rchain. The S19j Pro makes its money back within a year. Has anyone financed their antminer with a loan before. Looking for someone with experience contatcting a creditor as I will be contacting Bank of America, Amazon and Chase. What loan did you get, where did you colocate and how long till you paid back. https://www.asicminervalue.com/miners/bitmain/antminer-s19j-pro-100th

To the ASIC owner,
The most efficient useful practical miner at the time is the S19j Pro. I owning one know the work going into an asic securing the bitcoin ledger. This is work. Proof of time is required such as powering a 220V, space ventilation / exhaust and routing to IP. There are also nonsupplemental webpages. The S19j Pro is not easily found in stock but once purchased can be making you $10,000 - $12,000 annually. The electrical work goes into securing the bitcoin ledger. Roughly one block/10min.

Today's computational efficiency in Bitcoin weakens the overall network due to electrical usage. The alternative cost burdens bitcoin miners and thus leads to a decrease in the miner's returning investment. To increase Bitcoin price I suggest a bip-2562 unburdening the btcoin miner of electrical cost from adjustment of the SHA - 256^2 algorithm (thus the name bip-2562). This two-way algorithm is used to reiterate block mining. This algorithm is quadricatlly less efficient than a one-way function. To ensure minimal energy is used when using Bitcoin let's make a safe choice and go one-way.

I have been following the bitcoin improvement space for five years and found proposals to the consensus layer of the network to be most valuable. The underlying architecture of consensus is proof of work mining where asic circuits are constantly running to artificially validate the network. Achieving network synchronization is key to an overall great netowork health. Circuits that do this are computational inefficient thus exhausting greater energy My contribution is to propose a bip that would recircuit the electrical usage in the transistor layer hidden under silicon.

Re: Is there a way to retrieve bitcoin statistics, such as Difficulty and Hashrate
I just want to get the same info I can retrieve from the Bitcoin network by typing the command within the Bitcoin Core CLI without using it.
It is actually quite easy to do so. The difficulty and the target are both stored within the block headers, it will be sufficient to just call the block headers at each difficulty epoch to get the difficulty for that period. It is pointless to get the hashrate, because any estimation based on timestamps within a short period of time is often quite inaccurate. You can determine it based on the block intervals or use the difficulty as a metric.Block intervals coinside with the nonce interation achieved in each epoch of bitcoin. In the bitcoin network an epoch is defined as a block interval where production exists once a target hash is SHA-256'd to a low enough byte.
block difficulty should be adjusted every two weeks and hashrate depends on the miners who can be found hashing in https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_network_hash_rate

The development of Lightning excites me more than its implementation. Does anyone know when lightning was bipped into the bitcoin network? Was it hard forked or is it a different layer as layer 2 scalability suggests? Either way I can likely find more material surfing the web thanks 
Considering hashrate is at 100TH/s and annual profit mining is $9,200, the switch to solo mining is more a position in statistics than a trip to the casino. Take into consideration that another Antminer S19j Pro is added and you cut that 25 years of timespan in half. This miner acquired again and we see the likelihood of block reward be reduced down to 6 years.
