But then after all they still have to trade globally and if the wold just accept btc they have to use it

It is not owned by any government. And in the end it doesn’t matter - bitcoin doesn’t need any government to grow. It’ll just accelerate the mass adaptation. Just imagine the Trojan horse- once in the “city“ it won’t go away anymore. And because it is not proof of stake it doesn’t matter if a large institution holds a lot of it cause they still can’t change the rules. And just that you know, the institutional BTC are the most expensive ones. The majority do have the people. And if countries now trying to adapt a lot they will be hindered by the skyrocketing price. So, relax and enjoy the show…

Hi there. Did you remove the front and backplate for airflow or does it work smoothly? In general do you think it is worth it?

30°C

Update: since launch and after the new update it shows continuous 30°C (maybe there has been a bug before) at the ASIC and 50°C at the voltage regulator. I therefore had to implement a small angle into the setup that the miner is not flat anymore (too much hot air in the gap) and added another small fan to blow under the circuit board - I connected the original fan to the small pwm which was still free (60 -> 50). All other specs are still the same. Today I had a peak of almost 2TH/s again (19.2W!). So yeah it’s fun and next project is already in the pipeline. 🙃

Surprisingly, the mount of the cooler just fitted perfectly so that I could simply clamp the miner in between. In other words, I didn't fix the cooler to the circuit board, but the circuit board to the cooler...😅

That is true. The money that has flowed into bitcoin so far is just toy money compared to what is yet to come…
