Sky hardware for the next scam

>They arent going to use the board in the picture, its just for show
I just watched it. The PCB layout they pulled up is hobbyist tier shit. I've made similar designs in EagleCAD for small run PCB productions for retrofits in vintage electronics boards (Pinball and Arcade games).
If you guys are honestly dropping 1 BTC on this shit, you need to pull out now (if you even can).

But look at this super advanced antenna, that is sure to replace all ISPs everywhere in the world, and finally bring a decentralized internet to mankind.

Stop talking smack you dingdong, you cant see which circuit is what on the fucking board because it doesnt tell you, I knew you would come up with some stupid shit like that. Just shows you're a delusional fudder who doesnt know jack shit

>Bringing new tech to the industry
>Bringing mobile phones that doesnt need landlines
>Must be scam

>Bringing new tech to the industry
>Bringing antennas that can communicate without landlines
>Must be scam

I don't care about the rest of this thread but he's right though. The components that are outlined in white, the blue board color and the pre-drilled corner holes are not things you see in mass-produced boards. This is off-the-shelf hobbyist material bought at the local arduino store.

why do all of these fudders care about skycoin so much? there werent even this many bitconnect threads back in the day, and bitconnect was the clear scam.

threads are only started on biz when the OP has something to gain from it

actually I'd like to point out the microcontroller board in the back is literally a raspberry pi zero (pic related)

LMAO, YOU ARE SUCH A BRAINLET, THE HOLES LITERALLY DOESNT MATTER LOL
and what the hell do you mean by pre-drilled, do you think you drill holes in the circuit board afterwards? Literal brainlet

The holes are only there so that you can attach it like in OPs picture

Do you even know what a circuit board does?

To all the FUDDERS:
I'm a DIY Skyminer operator and I don't really like the way skycoin distributes the coins and does the rebate with overpriced hardware.
BUT is there any other project out there that actually tries to build a decentralized internet? Like anything that even comes close to the plans of skycoin?
I don't care about sky or mooning, I just think it's important to understand that we have to do this to keep the free flow of information. I don't even care if the project has a low chance of success, we must try something.

It does matter actually.

custom-designed boards will have the holes in optimal locations (not in the way of components and in places that keep the pcb size minimal) , and usually that's not in the corners which causes tons of lost space at the sides and makes it more expensive ;)

Usually it will also be designed to fit a custom enclosure where it's unlikely that the mountpoints will match the corners of the pcb.

Go open up your modem/toaster/whatever if you don't want to believe me.

Dude, they are PAID fudders. Do not debate with them, they just bitch every day with the same arguments and end with "mad bagholders hehehe" and retry the next day. Just ignore them.

But the purpose of the hardware isn't selling the hardware itself. It's just a proof on concept product that would work and contribute to the network predictably. In the end you use any hardware you want once the code matures. Just like with the Skyminers.

Kek, this.

You might be a pajeet shilling your bags but even if you are... I truly agree with your ideal. I just wish a more sophisticated solution would appear

All shit PCBs, dumb cunts

>Stop talking smack you dingdong, you cant see which circuit is what on the fucking board because it doesnt tell you, I knew you would come up with some stupid shit like that. Just shows you're a delusional fudder who doesnt know jack shit
I've designed enough dual-sided non multi-layered hobbyist level PCBs in my lifetime to know what one looks like. This is a hobby level design, done by a single person, not a team of highly skilled individuals. That image exported with the board traces is from EagleCAD or similar, because when you get into multi-layered PCBs to set up for a PNP machine, it gets so overly complex with everything from trace angle to heat dissipation to via depth that you need the software to make a lot of those decisions for you automatically. This layout was 100% hand-drawn. It even looks like he's using goldfingers as a connection method, aka like a fucking Nintendo cartidges. The Pinnacle of reliability there.
Refute this please. Feel free to ask questions.

"Custom designed boards" would reffer to a non-standardised shape/size.
This MB in picture, although custom, follows the atx format, therefore it was designed around that layout.
Screw mounting points DO matter. Routing ground traces around something absolutely influences the behavior of modern logic, where high/low state differences are what used to be considered tolerable noise in stuff decades ago.

No shit I'm not a pro faggot. I said I know HOBBYIST stuff when I see it because I live in that world. I am literally trying to help people from being scammed here. It is your money, do what you want, IDC.

Thats funny because its a server board which doesn't sit in a PC case

I didnt say that they dont matter, Im saying they are not obstructing anything you shithead

fine, but it's still a standard microATX format which can be mounted in server racks or in the case of this shitty single-cpu server board, most likely still in a regular computer case.

lol just stop now how many times does he need to correct you

Each node isn't supposed to replace the entire internet. It is just forwarding packets to one other node or end user at a time. These boards actually should be hobbyist tier so they are more accessible to the average user that wants to participate. Skywire is not hardware, it is software. You can use whatever hardware you want. The official hardware is more for convenience as the guides cater specifically to them

lol, I'm still right. Changing id won't change anything. I hope you learned something today so you look less like an idiot next time.

I thought the point was that skywire was hardware agnostic.

Nice anti-Skycoin astroturf u guys got going here. Creating all these threads to attack Skycoin, they don't even have to make threads to shill SKY anymore. Kek.

Yeah, it is.You can even install it on your Windows PC.

Then why the sperg out over a clear prototype?

Synth is probably satoshi btw

>BITCOIN: does nothing, will never do nothing

>Wants someone to decentralize the internet with a more sophisticated solution out of thin air.

Never going to make it.

The fact is Skycoin is closer to decentralizing the internet than anyone and that isn't likely to change. They have 10 years of work ahead of any competitor, what they are doing was purposed as simply impossible due to the kind of groundwork needed peer to peer interconnection.

With the improvement of WIFI tech they are going to try to do the impossible. It's going to take a while yet. You're talking about people being directly connected to one another without a 3rd party to handle it, that's some SCI-FI shit. Cable companies have wires running through the ocean because they can't even do that kind of shit.

Is it a pipe dream? Possibly, we won't know until they try. There isn't a big enough incentive to improve wifi because it does what it's supposed to do. Skycoin is trying to anyway because if they can actually improve it to the standard they are hoping to then it will be all downhill. The cable companies certainly don't give a fuck and haven't been trying, they make too much money keeping the status quo.

If you complain about cable company conglomerates but talk shit about Skycoin because they are "too ambitious" then you are the problem.

Nah, they're pawning them off as ultra-cheap low bandwidth communications tech with little to no profitability. The only way this stuff makes sense is getting users on the Skywire platform and buying/selling bandwidth.
Wow, cheap texting for the developing world without paying the telcom jews $20/mo, what a "scam".

>prof dr dr
I didn't even know people had titles like this, fug.

Quantity is better in this case. 300,000 cheap antennas in a city is more downtime resistant than two ISP companies.

>Imagine being a paid fudder and thinking that it's a good idea to shit on a prototype antennae instead of realizing that it makes your motive transparent.

Why don't you stop shitting in this thread and go shit in the street you dirty pajeet.

The whole point is to allow normies to build these things themselves with commonly available parts.

It takes years to build up industrial manufacturing flows for these things and if you farm it out to Chink production lines they just steal your IP and jack up the cost. They can't build their own production lines fast enough, so they design equipment that you or I can go to a hobbyist store and build with off the shelf parts. I can build the Skyminer, this LoRa device, the Antenna, and probably even the hardware wallet with ridiculously cheap, toy parts.

The fact that the people behind Skycoin try to make their hardware as cost effective and as user-serviceable as possible goes a long way to show their decent intentions.

If anybody here took the time to actually digest this video you would realise 9/10 posters in this thread are either full blown retards or paid FUD

They lose their BTC and ETH mining fees if everyone moves to a feeless platform like Skycoin.

With an offbrand board, maybe even an FPGA that's comparable, but likely much cheaper.

>everyone should reinvent the wheel because I know how to make wheels

Thanks for your hobbyist contributions grandpa, but we're building something bigger than that and wasting time with custom board autism for a system that's hardware agnostic is the dumbest possible use of time when perfectly good boards are out there.

Skywire will get off the ground with what is currently available. As time goes on, more specific hardware solutions can be devised.

Skywire is a scam. Their infrastructure won't immediately replace ISP's in developed urban areas. This is the only area that matters and no use cases extend beyond that. Stay far away from this shitcoin

What the fuck are you even talking about. It would immediatly replace ISP's in urban areas more so than rural. It's P2P the more densely populated area the more connectivity between people.

The actually problem is connect rural and across seas.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

>Rural and suburban retards voted for Skycoin. City people all voted for Substratum.

lol k

It lends me so much courage to just pour everything I can into this coin. The amount of FUD from people who clearly have no idea how Sky proposes to decentralize just proves that the paid Fudding Synth has talked about is not only real but on a scale he underestimated.

>Thanks for your hobbyist contributions grandpa, but we're building something bigger than that and wasting time with custom board autism for a system that's hardware agnostic is the dumbest possible use of time when perfectly good boards are out there.
Ok. Why is he building a custom board then?
If the point is that anyone can build this with any off the shelf hardware, why even pitch this stuff and waste time with prototypes? Just grab the pre-built stuff and start coding, right? You don't find any of this fishy and/or unprofessional?
This is scary looking even for crypto.

Enjoy the 10 year hodl while I make money on REAL coins like RVN. You think anyone cares about pie in the sky?

Because it has to work with off the shelf parts first. This allows anyone to make these things and install the software, which is better for adoption, not so good for money grabbing profit.

Then they can make refined, cost effective specialized parts after they have the off-the-shelf systems working. This gives normies a cheap plug and play option.

>It's coming out chill, we'll set the price to 1BTC, that way we tie skycoin directly to BTC and it increases incentive for our coin. You'll only pay for the part cost if you want to reverse back to BTC after purchase you are able to do that completely.

OMG WHY ARE THEY SHILLING PRODUCT WHEN THEY COULD BE CODING!?!?!?!?

Literally no win situation or you're a fudder, one or the other.

I'm perfectly content with a 10 year hold.

Changing the internet forever is not a simple or fast task but it sure as hell will be lucrative.

>Will do storage and compute
Dude you have no fucking idea how much more complex that is. Sia has been in development for years and they still do not have a way to publicly share files.
That is just the storage layer. Iexec still does not have a 100% secure method of code execution and that is utalizing on chip encryption shit for x86 . The mesh net can only ever happen with phones, hobbyists with tiny antennas aren't going to do shit.

You are delusional as fuck if you think this will be anything more than a cheap VPN endpoint system for a couple of years , fading into nothing .

Shilling another coin
Saying what they are working on is impossible with no concrete reason
Hyperbolic statement that insults supporters
Calling it vaporware without a solid reason

Yup, that's a fuddbot.

It's not an issue. Skycoin has enough talent on hand to write their own languages. CX (smart contracts and applications) is the focus now, CXO (storage) is next.

ufile.io/1bike

Funnily enough, that's why they have their Skyminers running on ARM boards. x86 is shit.

>mesh net can only ever happen with phones
I see that the extent of your mesh networking knowledge comes from a Christopher Nolan Batman movie.

I mean holy fuck are we the Jews now?

TBF it's probably more like $30-40 in hardware. But yeah, the level of scam is pretty extreme. Anyone buying into this is going to be very disappointed.

>X86 is shit
Ok , then where are all the arm hosting providers ? Scaleway only supports aarch64 on expensive chips and people only use it for build farms for compiling natively.
The reason I specifically pointed out x86 is because there will never be this kind of proprietary shit in arm chipsets , so remote execution will involve you trusting the nodes to not steal your data.
I would need to trust people like you super shill anime faggot with my companie's IP .

Also, Skywire is a trustless system, people won't steal data from nodes because they literally can't.

> With the improvement of WIFI tech they are going to try to do the impossible. It's going to take a while yet. You're talking about people being directly connected to one another without a 3rd party to handle it, that's some SCI-FI shit. Cable companies have wires running through the ocean because they can't even do that kind of shit.

what are you talking about? I know that with them you would always go trought a vpn connected to some kind of ISP, so it's not totally ''ISP free''

Trusting what? You're running your own skywire client that encrypts everything, sure meta data, timing attacks, etc.
They are not implementing a complete user cloud storage, but rather provide resources for their apps and caching for skywire... Which makes it somewhat easier

You do get scammed though because when you get your SKY refund back, the price will have dramatically changed and you actually only get 0.57 BTC back and would have to wait for the price to bounce back to recoup your full 0.9 BTC.

How do you run computation on encrypted data you cannot decrypt?
Do you faggots just read buzzwords from a medium article and regurgetate them as technical knowledge?
A decentralized internet comes in pieces and the only thing this does is provide a socks proxy.

Attached: images-33.jpg (436x703, 50K)

The computation is encrypted. That's the whole point of CX.

That's correct, a decentralized internet comes in pieces. Testnet is the first step to mainnet, the first piece.

Attached: hercules-and-lichas.jpg (736x1130, 308K)

WTF are you talking about? The whole idea is to make ISP's obsolete. Whoever is acting as hosts holds the internet, they need a way to save and catalog the internet on the block-chain which is what they are trying to accomplish currently. They are only using ISP's until they can accomplish that, once there is enough P2P hosting they won't need ISP's anymore because each host would update each website in real time with each interaction from a client.

tl;dr You are saying what they can do right now, I'm talking about the end goal.

Say what you want about Sky, the last time I saw this much discussion about an alt based upon technical functionality, was with Ether back in early 2017, before this board went full retard. Remember how that went...

B-bbut muh turing complete!
Muh Professor Stake! 50 cent shitcoin, lel.

I feel like history is repeating with Sky. Fudders gonna fud, I have yet to see a decent argument against the tech. If Obelisk and CX come out swinging, this thing is going to moon like crazy.

They don't control the market conditions. When people were getting SKY rebates, they didn't sell which is on them. If you sold, and then you actually made more money. If you got your rebate after the dip then it got way SKY. Sucks but it's not their fault.

I forgot to mention that with this goal in mind it would be virtually impossible for internet access downtime due to redundancy in hosting.

Yeah they don't don't control the market but somehow their old marketing team sold off all of their coins and dropped the price from $20 down to $3 and Synth was kidnapped. Right.

>Yeah they don't don't control the market but somehow their old marketing team sold off all of their coins and dropped the price from $20 down to $3

Source.

>Synth was kidnapped

Police report was filed. Threats stopped. Point?

>I know, we'll destroy the value of the coin we're making, that will make us rich!

Even if they had bad intentions, selling over time would be so much easier and would make so much more money. Your conspiracy theory has no effort behind it.

I'm excited about this. If it becomes popular to hook up a $100 battery backup to your antenna/miner setup, Skywire will have the best uptime of any internet service on the planet.

Yeah, this happened. If this had killed Skycoin then there wouldn't be a need to make all these threads to attack it. Bottom was $2 btw.

They don't control the market conditions, but they still should have sent back 0.9 BTC regardless of the market conditions at the time. They're just making bagholders at this point.

I have a skyminer, the SKY refund was badly badly done. They should have given people SKY at the current market rate

Anyone who bought a skyminer round 1 of the 2nd batch got absolutely fucked. Rebate locked at 1.4ksats when price was already below 900 lol.
This is true. Obelisk sounds amazing, will remain on the sidelines until hodlers give me the signal (if that ever happens)

They did at time of purchase. If you mean they should have given you the amount that sky is worth right now you're a fucking idiot. You're asking them to give you money for purchasing something you didn't even need to purchase.

Should have traded to BTC if you were unhappy. Sky will have no problem breaking ATH in a few years so the ROV will be worth it.

Exactly. It's just poor business borderline sketchy. The agreement was 1 BTC upfront for the Skyminer and 0.9 BTC refunded in SKY. You should receive 0.9 BTC back or at least what you receive back should be at least worth 0.9 BTC on the day it was received. It's not my fault that the market went to shit.

The moral of the story is don't trust Chinese teams.

Also that Synth is a fucking idiot but being a fucking idiot doesn't mean the project is bad. Look at Vitalik.

are you retarded? if you didn't want the SKY you could have just... you know... sold them right away?
