Mentions:#CPU

To put into perspective, I’ve been running a full node over Tor + Lightning network on a raspberry pi 4 for god knows how many years now. I’ve got an external SSD for it, one of the better ones I could find. It’s definitely slow still. Using it as the backing node for a lightning wallet proved next to unusable, as the transaction will time out after 30~ seconds and you’ve got to scan like 3 extra times before it decides that this time it’s going to dedicate just a little extra CPU to the LND process instead. Basically, is it possible to run nodes on low end hardware nowadays? Yes. Should you expect speed? Absolutely not, you’re going to be pushing that pi to its limits with just bitcoind and Tor.

Oh you really don't want to mine Monero using GPUs, RandomX is specifically designed with the goal of CPU mining being the most efficient way.

#Dogecoin Con-Arguments Below is a Dogecoin con-argument written by Chysce. > Dogecoin was [launched in 2013](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin#:~:text=In%20addition%2C%20they%20wanted%20to,making%20the%20idea%20a%20reality) as a satirical response to the hype surrounding crypto. In 2015, its creators stepped away from the project. The aim of its creators was to develop a coin that would not be taken seriously by investors, however despite their intentions, Dogecoin still attracted a significant number of speculators. In fact, it became the world's largest memecoin during the first half of 2021, with its value rocketing over 15,000%. > > Like Bitcoin Dogecoin uses the proof-of-work to validate transactions. Doge is merge mined at the same time with litecoin. There are [speculations](https://cointelegraph.com/news/rumor-has-it-that-dogecoin-could-shift-to-proof-of-stake-what-does-that-mean-for-miners) that Doge will switch to Proof of Stake soon but there is no definitive news on this as of yet. > > **>> Doge has no intrinsic value** > > In the very essence Doge has no value. Apart from [sporadic use](https://coingate.com/blog/post/doge-support-much-wow) for online tipping or as a means of payment for some businesses, it does not have a unique use case or solve any real-world problems. Its value is solely based on its popularity. While this can produce exciting short-term gains it is not a viable strategy for long-term investing. > > **>> High Volatility** > > The price of Doge is highly volatile, making it a risky investment. It's price is mostly driven by the Elon Musk's tweets and memes. Nowadays there are even bots that market buy Doge whenever Elon tweets something about it. These pumps are short lived and can cause a big spike in liquidations for unprepared investors. Elon Musk also appears to have distanced himself from Dogecoin in recent times. He did not include Dogecoin as a payment option for Twitter, and he also [tweeted](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1631720134636367872?lang=en) that he is more interested in AI than crypto as of late. > > **>> Unlimited supply** > > Unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin has no hard cap [no hard cap](https://www.sofi.com/learn/content/will-dogecoin-ever-be-capped/) on the total supply, which means it could potentially be inflated indefinitely. It's current supply increase is [\~4% per year](https://www.analyticsinsight.net/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-dogecoin-inflation/#:~:text=For%20anyone%20buying%20Dogecoin%20to,4%25%20in%20price%20each%20year). > > \>> **Lack of Development and future narratives** > > Dogecoin has a relatively small development team, and the project has not seen significant updates or improvements in recent years. Additionally very few people run full nodes. Finally there is no clear long-term narrative that could cause its wide adoption > > \>> **Security** > > Dogecoin's mining algorithm is less secure than others, making it more susceptible to 51% attacks. Doge uses a different mining algorithm than Bitcoin, called [Scrypt](https://learn.bybit.com/altcoins/how-to-mine-dogecoin/), which is generally considered less secure than Bitcoin's SHA-256 algorithm. [Scrypt was designed to be more memory-intensive](https://cryptobook.nakov.com/mac-and-key-derivation/scrypt), making it harder for ASIC miners to dominate the network and creating a more level playing field for CPU and GPU miners. However, this also makes it easier for attackers to launch 51% attacks. > > On top of that Doge has a much smaller mining community and less overall network hash rate than Bitcoin. This means that it could be more vulnerable to attacks from miners who control a large portion of the network's hashrate. > > And finally Doge's unlimited supply means that there is less of an incentive for miners to secure the network. ***** Would you like to learn more?

Specialized crypto mining hardware can't do anything but mine crypto. Bitcoin ASIC miners crunch SHA256 hashes, that's it. Even crypto GPUs will be useless for a lot of stuff that regular GPUs are good at, there probably won't be any optix or video encoding on a Nvidia mining GPU. But even if ASICs could do blender, they would be still be better at mining. It would be better to mine BTC and then spend that BTC to pay for a render farm to render the video. Berkeley used Bitcoin mining in the distributed computing for science program BOINC, but it was just mining Bitcoin then donating that Bitcoin. The most cost effective way of rendering fast is probably something like Sheepit, where people use their idle CPU/GPU power to render the frames of others animations for credits, which can be spent to have others render in return. Instead of waiting 3 days to render 30 minute video, upload a blender file with the frames and have 30 other people do it in hours. The only cost is the electricity of others frames to get credit, otherwise free.

Yeah you're absolutely right. The server has 64 GB RAM, CPU is AMD 5700G, 5 HDDs in RAID 6, not sure about IO speeds, but last test I did transferring 2 TB from 1 VM to another(Not over LAN), it maintained full network speed (1gbps) throughout the transfer. I'd assume that means it's more than good enough. I guess I'll also have to do the same and just run it in docker and individually manage each node.

I mostly agree with that, but I wouldn’t underestimate just how much influence miners collectively have. A hash rate majority can make a desired protocol change as a “soft fork” which effectively includes a built-in “51% attack” against anyone wishing to remain behind on the prior ruleset. In that case, a disgruntled minority must coordinate a counterfork if they wish to avoid being swept along by the change, which is no small feat. Even if a chain split does occur creating separately-tradeable assets, the most-PoW chain is a very strong Schelling point for the market to converge on. I’m not aware of any chain split in which the initial hash rate minority side subsequently overtook the initial hash rate majority side to become the dominant / most-PoW chain. Let’s not forget that proof of work is THE fundamental consensus mechanism described in the Satoshi whitepaper, which ends with the following two sentences: >They vote with their CPU power, expressing their acceptance of valid blocks by working on extending them and rejecting invalid blocks by refusing to work on them. Any needed rules and incentives can be enforced with this consensus mechanism.

Was preparing to throw away an old laptop, but thinking better and consider it has decent specs (i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD), why not use it as playground for some stuff, including crypto. What should I run that is not that intensive in terms of resources and it's relatively easy to setup? Note that I don't plan to have this machine up 24/7. just want to play with the tech.

I remember doing CPU and GPU mining way back in 2012. Probably had a coin and a half due to being part of a pool. That hard drive was certainly formatted and living in a trash heap since then.

Mentions:#CPU

You probably never mine a block solo mining, but you are 100% guaranteed never contribute enough hash to a pool to get the minimum payout with a CPU. You can run a full node no problem if you want to of course. That's ideal use case, you just need to set aside a 1TB drive and some bandwidth.

Mentions:#CPU

Hard to say for sure. Bitcoin was effectively ASIC only in 2018 (when I started mining other crypto w/ GPUs), I think S9's were the prevalent Bitcoin miner doing 14 Th (14 trillion hashes every second). Unless this supercomputer had special ability to calculate SHA256 hashes, it's going to be relatively slow at hashing. While it may be accelerated by special hardware on the CPU, something like an i7 3930k can do around 66.6 Mh/s and is around 230 Gigaflops. So this supercomputer, in theory, would be about 4,350x the computing power, so maybe ~289 Gh/s or about 1/20th of a single ASIC. So maybe a few bucks depending on when they started and stopped.

Statistically it would be a better "investment" to spend $1000 on powerball tickets than $1000 on a new PC build for mining bitcoin **(mining with a CPU)**. Bitcoin miners that are mining for profit are not using CPUs to mine. They are using ASICs. They also have access to cheap electricity.

That's an interesting analogy! Mining bitcoin on an average consumer PC is indeed a bit like buying a lottery ticket, though not quite as extreme odds. The chances of successfully mining a block on the Bitcoin network with just an Intel i9 PC are astronomically low. Here's a rough probability estimate: The current Bitcoin network hash rate is around 200 exahashes per second (200,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes per second) A top-end Intel i9 CPU can maybe do 100 hashes per second if optimized for mining So your hash rate would be 1 in 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 (2 quintillion) of the network hash rate Bitcoin blocks are found on average every 10 minutes, or 6 per hour So your odds of finding a block in any given hour would be about 1 in 333 billion You would expect to mine a block approximately once every 1,999,999,999 hours on average That's about 228,000 years! So while not quite lottery odds, it's still incredibly unlikely to mine a Bitcoin block with just a consumer PC. You'd essentially need to get extremely lucky. Specialized ASIC miners have made Bitcoin mining at scale infeasible for average PCs. Of course, you can potentially mine other cryptocurrencies where mining is still feasible on PCs. But Bitcoin mining specifically now requires massive, dedicated rigs to be competitive. A single home PC is basically like buying a lottery ticket.

The chance of CPU mining a block today is less than not buying a lottery ticket and expecting to win.

You don’t want to mine bitcoin with a CPU or GPU. Not since like 2013 when ASICs hit the market. Now buying an ASIC capable of 190 TH/s and just running one of those is a viable lottery ticket option. Mine on Kano’s solo pool. You just need to be able to power it (like 3500W) and you would need to make sure it’s not ruining your life with all the noise it makes. Maybe make a small submersion cooling tub? In 2017 I had 19 S9s mining. One of them solved a block. I literally fell over when I realized I solved a block. My solve was double the current difficulty at 7 trillion. It was on Kano’s pool so I got a nice bonus but it wasn’t solo pool. I sure a shit wish it was though.

For CPU mining, yes. A 14 TH/s antminer S9 gets 3082 satoshi per day That's a 1300 watt specialized machine, I don't know exactly how much more it mines than a i9, but I wager more than 3000 times more. Even a S9 will on average mine one block every 555 years at the current difficulty. 6.25 BTC per block 100,000,000 Satoshi per BTC 625,000,000 Satoshi per block 3082 Satoshi per day of S9 mining 202,790 days / 365 days 555 Years The current hashrate is \~400,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes per second.

Computationally, incrementing is much, much faster than any variation of random or pseudo-random. Also, nobody is going to wire a random or pseudo-random function into an ASIC chip More important ... Even a cheap USB miner like the Compac F cycles through the entire nonce range 75 times every second. A S19XP cycles through all 4294967296 nonce values more than 32000 times per second Because a miner cycles through more than 4 billion hashes many times every second, using random nonces will repeat work already done every time the random is the same as an earlier nonce. Incrementing the nonce prevents wasteful repetition of work See Mastering Bitcoin, chapter 10 https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch10.asciidoc Search down to "The Extra Nonce Solution" Even in the difficulty-1 CPU days in 2009, the average number of hashes required to find a block was about 4 billion. So it was common to cycle through all the nonce values without finding a suitable block header hash. Satoshi's miner code had extra-nonce even then. But his extra-nonce was incremented. Today the extra-nonces are random

You're missing a fundamental part of the risk of a '51% attack': the attacker could choose to build only on their blocks. This is because they are on average going to be faster at solving any given block, so even if someone else solves one, the odds are that the attacker will be able to get the next one. The attacker solves for the same block height as the one the honest team mined, then the odds are that they will get a second one before the honest miners get their second one. The attackers block fits on their previous one, and so they have the longest chain and the honest miner's block and the transactions included are erased from history. Of course the honest miners might get lucky and get 2 blocks first, but then the race is on to get to 3 in a row... or however many it is. With more hashpower the attacker can always overtake and erase eventually. They don't need 100% of the hashpower, just a slight majority of it. I can see you are new here, so I'd really recommend doing a bit of background reading. The whitepaper is surprisingly accessable and it even touches on this (page 3): > *If a majority of CPU power is controlled by honest nodes, the honest chain will grow the fastest and outpace any competing chains.* Worth a read to help you understand how this stuff works. There's a narrative amongst some Bitcoin influencers that the only interesting things about bitcoin are the price and how much better it is than dollars etc... but focusing on the economic side only, I think leaves you blind to the most important knowledge of what Bitcoin actually is. This is why you see some people talking about it like it is some divine gift from the prophet Satoshi, an ethereal being who launched perfect money and then ascended back to the higher plains of existence... they haven't learned how it works and so imagine it must be divinely designed and thus perfect and flawless. In my opinion, looking under the hood is the only sensible way to determine the value of a technology, and avoiding a critical evaluation of it's risks just leaves you vulnerable to them. All that said, I don't think either attack I listed above is likely in the near term, or something to lose sleep over. Presumably the 2 risks appreciate each halvening as rewards are further reduced, and so it will build slowly, stepping up just a bit each 4 years. Remember this post in 12 years, or 20, or however many though, when hopefully a solution will have been implemented, or otherwise maybe we'll see it play out.

My CPU is a neural net processor, a learning computer.

Yeah I started using it awhile back when rewards were better. It’s definitely a lot like chrome, although a lot less taxing on your CPU

Doing my research on Monero right now, came to understand that it really stands for privacy. Monero’s mining benefits are because of the nature of the CPU which anyone cannot identify people that have mined it which bodes well for privacy.

you're about 12 years to late to mine with your CPU / GPU. You can mine with an ASIC, but they cost thousands of dollars, and are rather noisy. SparrowWallet is a fantastic desktop wallet, and Seedsigner (DIY build it yourself) or Jade are the cheapest hardware wallets around

You can block ads and its speed. Also consumes much less CPU compared to Chrome.

People have mined 50BTC blocks on their Celeron CPU computers, the times.

Bitcoin is one of those things that I invested with lunch money and returns were so insane it changed my life. Sold it and bought a house to finally get out my parents home. I'm not extremely wealthy but I make good money with it. People who have won big will not reveal their identities. They don't want to become a target. I didn't bought Bitcoin back then because I wanted to get rich, I liked the concept and I thought this is really cool to mine coins with my CPU together with a bunch of dudes to support the network and send money to each other with no banks or companies. I was expecting making returns just like any other investment but I could not imagine Bitcoin would ever reach today's prices. Bitcoin was worthless back then, it was just funny internet money. Being involved from many years and having a growing business related to crypto mining I know a few people who are very wealthy from Bitcoin. Just don't take things too extreme. The polarity of opinions regarding crypto is huge. It's either you love it or hate it. I don't agree with many things I read here. It's okay. It's like any investment, do your own due diligence and get your own conclusions. But if you are an investor you must know every asset that has huge price increase will always have both diehard fans and a lot of haters. Bitcoin in terms of opinions is no different than Tesla stock in 2019. People would either believe Tesla would be the only company that would make cars or on the other hand they will go bankrupt and electric cars will never make it. The key is balance. Don't get yourself to mixed up in conflict and seek truth and follow your own beliefs. If you think Bitcoin is a scam, cool. If you thing it will destroy governments and become the global currency of the new world, fine. I don't agree with both, it's too extreme. I do wish I had taken it more seriously back then. Because I'm not hyper rich but I could be, if I had put more than just lunch money on it. And every time Bitcoin went up I didnt invest more and thought this is it. It's never gonna be more than 100usd that is insane. And there it goes, 1000usd, 10.000usd, and now is going to beat 100.000usd soon, maybe next year. Whether you like it or not, it's likely going to happen. And about scams, beat it with knowledge. Where there is money there will always be people trying to scam. People should not invest significant money in what they don't understand.

Arctic Silver is the thermal paste I use, you put a very thin layer between your chips like the CPU and their heatsinks. Usually doing it on an older or poorly factory applied chips will drop temps by >10C.

The first coin I bought was BTC in 2015-ish. I used it to donate to pirate sites. The first I learned about it was 2010-ish I think. I thought it was amazing but was too lazy/pessimistic to even try mining it on CPU. You get what you deserve I guess.
