Set up my #[1]​ Jade miner. Super easy and fun. Also just did the math. #[2]​ pointed out you need around 1.1 million Jades to match one S9’s hash rate.

If my math is correct, with global hash around 319 EH/s (319 quintillion hashes per second), 80,000 h/s over 319 EH/s is around 8 in 31 quadrillion, 900 trillion.

Or 1 in 4 quadrillion.

So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance?

How did you install the firmware? When I went to the page on the nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n website, it came up with a broken image link and the software wouldn’t download. https://jademiner.blockstream.com/upgrade/fwupgrade.html

This happened to me multiple times! I had to use the most updated version of chrome. Then had to exit out of the Green desktop app and refresh.

Then at that point could get to the two firmware options but whenever I hit “Confirm Version”, nothing happened.

Had to hard reset my Jade with the page still up and Jade plugged in, then it prompted a pin on the device and it started updating the firmware.

Long story short…had to turn off and on the Jade and try a few times but it eventually recognized the Jade and updated. Let me know if it works!!

Pretty sure I’m running the latest version. What OS are you using?

I wanted to try this. But hesitated.

Will i still be able to access my wallet, or does it overwrite the wallet software?

It’s a firmware update so nothing changes in terms of your seed phrase or wallets. But they said it will reduce the device lifespan because it will be powered on much longer and uses more of its hardware resources.

Exactly. I like the ColdCard so just use the Jade to mine and keep track of blocks. 64 bucks is a great price pint too!

When did you try this? I talked to Rich when they released it and they didn’t expect the response, so they couldn’t take the load and had to adjust. I’m assuming that might be similar after a lot of Jades are landing in hands after orders after Ledger. Just a guess. I’ll ping Rich though.

Since I unboxed it on Monday and just now when I tried another time.

Try again, should be fixed

NOW we’re talking! 🙌

Amazing! It’s super fun just doing work and watching it do it’s thing. Also cool to be a tiny block clock

Yep

Haha WUT?!

Can you use it with a mining pool?

I don’t think so! but if we could I definitely would lol

#[4]​ Only off by an order of magnitude in the wrong direction 😂

All good fun. But never stop believing

This device already mined over 4k sats👍

Can you still mine if you close the page?

Haha sometimes mine does, sometimes I wake up and it’s stuck 20 blocks back.

So it doesn’t matter if you have the page on? 🧐 so far it’s holding pretty good
