that was crazy the bottle beating apart that miner!

im curious about the esp32 im not a fan of unknown radios which is what kept me from messing around with the bitaxe stuff can you remove the radios with some snippers or are they in the main chip?

Kano always a crab apple but i guess i do prefer consistency <3

nice work john looks great if this was the first one man oh man what a sight to see. i have considered modifying the 3 v1s using server heatsinks but just cant justify the cost vs hash. im tapped but look forward to watching this progress in this crazy space. i still have futurebit btcs running and an ltc apollo running. i can say these miners just run almost no issues beyond no easy api access perhaps ive overlooked the javascript i dont understand npm and refuse to.

I have finally an apollo btc that started throwing random temps -100 +110 hash on hash off will this be a problem with temp sensing chip or the asics? want to know if i should solder a component on before i rip the heatsink off and man handle this thing with hot air and rubbing alcohol. was running for 2 days sucking 250w an not hashing my fault for not monitoring but haven't needed to really with these they usually just run hard/soft whatever. i still cant get better than 58w/th with a good hash rate if i want in the gh i can get real low like 29w/th @ 900gh

where is everyone?

Nicejob skot im surprised nobody has posted on this. projects like this are what would make blockchain a lot more fun im not sure why someone hasnt made something like this prior. i have been following along with your progress i dont plan to build but i admire the work involved. it is truly amazing the work of giants in tech field you certainly are one of them.

when you have rolling advertising for the same firmware and miners on 1 forum you start to wonder if bitcoin is actually worth anyones time. if braiins is needed bitcoin already has a problem.

awesome whens your next bitcoin convention id like to share your hand for all the math you do on the forum so helpful.

blockchain is so dull and boring we have posts about fans again to make mystery out of how cooling works. throw your miner in the garbage.

looks like another nonsense post who buys this equipment? everyone hates bitmain according to almost every post so why do people continue to purchase it? no way in hell some rando company makes the best miners. i dont buy it bitmain is ibm, intel, nvidia, amd or all of the above. its so gross the amount of shilling that goes on and this is the forum that is the leading force for bitcoin? looooool

1. Old miners tend to be more reliable and usb miners which are made from old and new miners(makes sense)

Nothing made new is made for the normal person to make any kind of return or profit. They will either software cripple your miner or bring out a miner 5x as fast as the one you are using. Whoever decided to put few companies in charge of all electronics made a giant mistake and its pretty obvious in mining.

I know you are more knowledgable about all this than you bring on i just wanted to get my two cents in before shillbots start saying certain series of antminers, canaan and whatsminers.

btw canaan will break, antminer will break, whatsminer will overheat. they are making disposable trash and shipping it to every country but their own.

People are better off just cpu mining or gpu mining hardware for bitcoin is a waste of time most end up just giving up anyways and losing a lot of money in the process. Sometimes the truth is better than a sugar coated money grab.

I don't think most that bought are looking for perks but your development environment is not noob friendly. its not very hard to solo mine to a node is it worth it? who cares the problem is this hardware was sold at a premium which is fine i guess, but getting ghosted with updates like china does is not acceptable. crypto is the only thing that kills crypto.

you sold a device that has multiple points of vulnerability in anyones home network i just wonder why? i mean you could of atleast properly secured the device or explained to people hey you need to isolate this gigantic hole you are about the implement into your network. less teasers on twitter and more real talk if you need help ask the internet is dead.

Dead project they could at-least open source it so we can do a little more with these paperweights.

This is pretty crummy i had to buy from 3rd party because they dont sell the boards or atleast not at the time. if this company isnt a scam i dont know what is. all this problem with firmware and miner ID garbage for what? to track for what? canaans tracking cost me 1000s of dollars and over a year of hashing.

Sorry totally missed this post yes i got it going as you described i didnt install the buster version was that a mistake? im noticing the new version debian 11 is basically ubuntu should i redo it with buster? Everytime i make a change i just copy back over the device tree. I'm wondering now if the original futurebit image is fine as it appears to run alpine linux under the good with ubuntu overtop i may be wrong here.

I like the idea of a SBC so can add a battery backup to keep it going on cellular just incase. My futurebit node has 70-80 peers on average shipping off 14-20 gigs a day of served up blocks. whether it helps or not i have no idea i would assume so it seems node should be more important than miners as they are far less of them in residential as i can tell anyways.

ive given up on making any kind of break even on mining im focusing on the software portion and learning C i always neglected it the past 20 years. When i think of arm i think of software based hardware so when i think of bare metal its a full blown pc. maybe not proper terms.

Thanks for all that guides you put up blockchain has a lot of moving parts and the information is a little hard to sift through.

How do you find other peers to link to? Just got all my lightning node up unsure what steps to do next with it. im also running a seperate bitcoind with no outgoing besides tor is that fine for lightning or should i switch it to my main bitcoin node? i setup second one so i could use bitcoincore with wallet enabled.

i have reached out again to canaan support for a firmware that works. I don't think these miners should be advertised here without some firmware that works maybe braiins can make support for it?

Trying to cut power and already have the equipment and just trying to see if. having 88 chips hashing slow is better than 44 hashing at the same speed. i dont really know at this point im just trying things while i can.

Is it ok to daisy chain the power supplies on the back of apollos? example 1 apollo gets 1 pci-e plugged into power and the other power port on that apollo feeds 1 power port on another apollo?

Or can i use usb C with like a 100w wall adapter to power both units? I have these really underclocked and only using 30w per board.

57 peers on the futurebit node should i use i2p for more?
