Do you have to mine crypto to make enough money to buy computer hardware now ? Is this becoming a new destructive feature of capitalism, like when they destroyed new cars that came fresh from the assembly line during the great recession.

I don't thinking workstations can reliability earn enough to pay for themselves with how ridiculously OP mining rings are (as you are in professional render farm territory) and how the more processing power mining crypto, the harder the hash gets for everyone.

how many render farms do you need until they pay for a workstation ?
Like what is the ratio, do you have to run 50 computers to be able to use one ?
How does the energy efficiency compare to computers from the nineties if you account for the "crypto overhead"

Well if you look at the picture above, the mining rig is running ten RTX 3060ti and a 3090 is not even double the power of a single 3060ti so this mining rig will still have around ten times the GPU power of the beefiest PC rig. This is the kind of setup you are going be going up against from professional miners that can have entire racks of these things. Professional miners also have less trouble acquiring GPUs since they buy them by the pallet thus can order from distributors directly.

Computers from the 90s used less wattage but were less efficient in processing power per watt.

Searx Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:47:57 No.2900 [Reply]

I know that if I run my own instance of searx is the most private way to search things up. But what about public instances of searx like search.snopyta.org, are they any safer than just using pure duckduckgo? Because I am still trusting a 3 party with my data, the only other advantage that I see using a public instance of searx is that is completely open source. Are there any other positives?

This is an ed2k link, you'll need something that can access the edonkey network to download it, like emule. Your best source for French comics is emulebdz, a forum that posts ed2k links to pretty much everything that gets ripped or scanned in French.

By the way, the volume 2 came out in January, and most of the French comic scanners/rippers have a rule that they won't release a comic until 6 months after it gets published, so it'll be on emulebdz in July probably. If you're don't want to wait until then, you can buy a digital on izneo, and quite easily rip it yourself:

no one uses xmpp, and it doesnt have cryptography natively….
not all implementations integrate with omemo and its ass and ugly and annoying, plus again no one uses it
Whats the problem with Signal? also there's p2p fork of Signal… not a great idea but also federated servers take effort so i guess for most people centralized makes sense here, its not optimal but fr what did Signal do to compromise security? they do real e2ee that is supposedly authenticated on each client, and its open source afaik so whats the deal
no matter what your metadata is fucked pretty much
also xmpp is federated too… so its also kinda ass for that

Buttcoin Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:44:04 No.274 [Reply]

I know, you're asking yourself already, how the fuck are crypto's compatible with a leftwing communist image-board? Well, first of all, fuck you, we live under capitalism and as such must exchange and purchase under the current mode of production we find ourselves under.
Second, I would like some one to help me understand, exactly, how to set up a bitcoin, monero, what have you; wallet. I tried to set this up on my laptop but syncing with the bitcoin network is a huge MASSIVE bitch and took me months and I never got fully synced. Also, it takes a shitload of resources to work properly on my computer. I can barley do anything else.
So, my question is: What is the best way to get into bitcoin and use bitcoin and other cysto's like a boss? Am I doing something wrong? What are the best specs for btc and the like? As always, any help would be appreciated. Thank you /tech/!

Smart contracts, mining is getting removed, many other better features. It's not perfect, but Bitcoin is merely a store of value, while Ethereum is a effectively a whole platform running most of the other successful crypto projects.

whenever someone is using the TOR node to spam it counts towards the specific connections post limit(to prevent flooding). So it's likely you're trying to make one post after someone tried to use it to spam and you hit the same limit.
