    is it okay to post this here?

    anyone have mined helium coin with a hotspot? am i getting this right?

    1. the things that can enjoy the hotspots are niche IoT devices with LoRa wireless capability (i though it could help normal wifi coverage too, so i can help schools etc for internet, but nope, its only lora)
    2. regulations for the frequency ranges varies between regions because it use similar frequency with cell phones
    3. its basically useless for mining when you are in a place where nobody else have the helium hotspot and noone use LoRa IoT devices

    WTH would RDNA2 GPUs be used for mining due to their smaller memory bus? What an absolute waste.

    Why? GA100 isn't used as consumer silicon anyway.

    There's all that. There's just no RT units presumably.

    AMD's Mi100 is the first "GPU" with no rasterizer abilities.

    I'm sure the Texas power infrastructure will be just fine, too.

    Dang. My PSU went kaput ROFL.

    No more mining for me until I can get a PSU (quite hard to find tier A)

    According to an article that I saw yesterday on BBC.com "Why China's bitcoin miners are moving to Texas":

    I don't know why it's a good thing to compensate bitcoin farms when the power grid has issues. I have not heard of other business that were compensated to stay offline. Were they any?

    I don't know why Texas is proud to have bitcoin farms. What do bitcoin farms offer Texas? Other than some construction money, bitcoin farms aren't offering a significant amount of jobs.

    It's likely bringing money into the local economy (ethical/environmental issues aside). People will be spending more in the US, less in China

    Aren't the very large mining operations buying old, unprofitable power stations to generate their own power?
