Amplifier bleeding or maybe someone set up a separate repeater to patch these channels together? Could be physically patched at the repeater site too πŸ‘€

So, looking at raw numbers with 50,000 devices:

Your individual odds = 1 in 50,000

Waiting time = 75-80 days

So you're looking at:

β€’ A 0.002% chance of mining a block

β€’ Waiting ~2.5 months for that tiny chance

With 1 million devices:

Your individual odds = 1 in 1,000,000

Waiting time = 3-5 days

That's:

β€’ A 0.0001% chance of mining a block

β€’ Every 3-5 days, someone in that million gets lucky

β€’ But it's probably not you

However, these statistics are oversimplified. Here's how Bitcoin mining actually works:

Your real chance of mining a block = (Your hashrate / Total network hashrate)

For perspective:

β€’ With 1 TH/s of mining power, odds are roughly 1 in 249,694,649 per block

β€’ A new block is mined every ~10 minutes

β€’ But it's a continuous probability game, not a scheduled event

When more devices join the network:

1. The total network hashrate increases

2. Your individual device's hashrate stays the same

3. Therefore, your relative share (and odds) decrease

So when they say 'a device will mine a block every X days,' it's misleadingβ€”it's a network-wide statistic, like saying 'someone will win the lottery every drawing.' It doesn't improve your individual device's chances; more competition actually makes your odds worse.

This is why solo mining has largely been replaced by industrial mining operationsβ€”the odds for individual miners have become increasingly unfavorable as the network has grown.

I don't gamble, and I don't play the lottery. These devices are fun and educational, but they are expensive lottery tickets with worse odds.

So you're telling me there's a chance πŸ‘€

On the one hand, I support the Death Penalty for all murderers, rapists and child molesters BUT on the other hand I do NOT trust the State with that kind of power... πŸ‘€

It should never have had to come to this but good for her. If only there had been a community around her that could have identified the abuse and rescued her before it got so bad that a child had to commit murder to protect herself... πŸ‘€

This is good advice πŸ‘€

23B if the B is for butter; otherwise 23A πŸ‘€

Is this the dip or is this the dip of the dip? πŸ‘€
