It’s a sad day, but my mining cabinet is being retired. This s9 went from 3 boards, to 2, to 1. Donated all its hashrate to @256 FOUNDATION since they started accepting donations. Upgrade for keeping my feet warm at my desk coming soon.

The ability to generate blocks is a show of computational strength, which is just what the Bitcoin network needs to help verify all the transactions. But it is also a show of community spirit because by agreeing to enter the contest for the next block, they show themselves to be willing to respect the interests of the community rather than manipulate the block chain for self-interested purposes. This is just the sort of thing that should be expected to hold a community together.
