Post your skyminer build. going to make one

That's a beauty fren. Will you have any advantage in using twice the OPis?

miners are those who secure the network.

Why using 8 arm boards and not a Ryzen 1700 with a 10-gigabit motherboard? Price is roughly the same at the moment. Is there an advantage besides upgradability?

Might use the same amount of power also?

The reward system hasn't been exactly published yet, but you provide 2x more hardware bandwidth to the network.

For testnet purposes they start off with everyone having at least similar hardware. Eventually you can use anything you want.

Yes. It's already working and is way faster than TOR.

Because if you lose one board you'd still have 7. If you lose anything on the ryzen system you'd have forced downtime.

It's mostly about redundancy from what I understand

Sorry, my actual question is "is the net speed bottleneck your connection or the boards"?

can you actually see a profit with this?

>is the net speed bottleneck your connection or the boards
I asked about that internet bandwidth requirements. They said that there's no requirements for the testnet and it's unknown how it's going to be with the mainnet.
I guess if you logically think about it, the internet will bottleneck what kind of services you will be able to offer. If the only thing your nodes do is confirm blockchain transactions, that doesn't require bandwidth. But if you want to offer VPN services to 16 people or storage services, they obviously need more bandwidth.

There's no official info released, but it's said that testnet participants will receive at least 50 skycoins.
Synth told at an interview that when mainnet launches, you nodes will make money back 4 times in a year (don't know how legit is this)

They are very cheap to operate.

I ordered a single orange pi, can I run a node with just the 1 board?

Just wanted something to play with while I wait my turn to buy my skyminer.

Yes. Its better to run on a pi than to install on PC.

You can also use it as a free, fast VPN

Awesome, thank you anons.

Can't wait to unfuck the internet. Will run skywire when the antenna is available too.

Is whitelist approval pretty fast?

Whitelist is fast, but then you're just waiting for them to produce a fresh batch of miners. A new batch was finished just recently. Hopefully I'll get mine soon.

show your workings

Here's mine.

Jesus Christ pajeet.. so you have a tile floor and you decide to put your gear on wood...
The tile on the floor would do a better job at dissipating the heat rather then air being blown under a board.

its not even a skyminer, those are gpus

that shit's beautiful, I can't believe precious sky is made from that

>I can't believe precious sky is made from that
its not

Check out my PoE setup.

I'm trying to decide on a case currently. Any suggestions, /sky/?

There's literally none crypto projects where you know all the information to the last detail. By that time it will be priced in. It does make sense though that early bandwidth providers get more rewards than those who join an already working system.

Watch ask SKY rockets over the top of your head.
>he doesnt understand it
>he thinks POW/POS are the only way

50? Who the fuck told you that? More like 1000-2000

Literally cost nothing to set a DIY up. Worst case scenario, SKY is a total scam and I just sell the Odroids for close to retail.

Synth said they've reserved over a million skycoins just for testnet. There are over 500 skyminers currently online. Do the math.

So all I need is 8 pis, a router, power supply and cables? Connections speed is not specified but what is recommended?

Uh there's actually over 4500 miners on the discovery page.

In a way he's right though. There's no algorithm solving so there's no mining. The PIs are hosting different services and it's a new way to incentivize people to keep the nodes online.

Most miners have 8 nodes.
Some have more, some less.

Those are nodes (Pi's)

There’s 4500 nodes, not miners. Each miner has about 8 nodes. Some customized ones have 4. Main idea is that there are about 500 miners out right now

Imagine your average neet trying to assemble one.

I'm inclined to assume nothing at this pointbut that'd be cool. I think I'd be happy with 100 SKY and whatever coinhours bring.

They recommend as much bandwidth as humanly possible for mainnet but testnet doesn't have any real specifications.

this is already as simple as building a PC and I know literal autists who are savants with that shit.

Give it a few years to where you can just buy a prefab model and plug it in, and immediately start hosting. Even boomers can figure it out.

/v/irgin here
pls stop this

Is there something about this skymining nonsense that requires orange pi specifically? Because if not then you are getting memed. DYOR on the actual strongest SBCs out there.

DESU, this skyminer nonsense is just preying on brainlets it seems like.

Built this shit from the scraps lying around, comfy af
million skycoins / 500 miners = 2000 skycoins/miner
Antennas are coming in 2019, so I would assume testnet will last for quite some time, 6 months at least.
2000/6 = 333 skycoins/month per miner
Sounds as a reasonable ceiling, I believe 200 skycoins/month is more realistic.

Just what they used for the official miners.

More official miners are being built and sent out.

your shit looks flimsy as fuck. Get some hexagonal metal spacers.

The actual mining is fake though, right? It's just bullshit anyways, right? Hashrates don't even matter, do they? Isn't it all premined nonsense tokens?

Are there any resources on how to build your own miner? What parts you need and how to assemble them? Yes I am a brainlet, but i've been invested in the project for a good halfyear now and would like to participate in the network.

We will see diminishing returns yeah, but being on top of the first whitelist is absolutely bonkers.
It will take time to ship, assemble and get the miners running, so early miners are golden
Fucking Pi has absolutely retarded M2.9 mounting holes, there are no 2M or 2.5M spacers in my city, so I had to improvise.
I ordered spacers from Aliexpress, but they are still not here.

People misunderstand the term miner, a miner is someone who secures the network, usually for a reward. Skyminers secure the network, eventually people with skyminers will earn as they route traffic.

I know. I'm probably in that first batch of DIY Miners since I applied day 1 and have been watching my uptime like a hawk.

There's an economic incentive not to tell you.

This, "miners" are just forwarding and moving along trafffic from destination to destination. Sort of like being a pit stop on a way to another destination. We just get rewarded for it. Skycoins in test net, coinhours in mainnet.

Yes I know, just fucking tell me :( or I will tell on you with Synth

It seems pretty scammy. I happen to be an SBC masterbator so I could set this shit up with some spare boards but I'm thinking why bother. Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a non-scam and I end up regretting it later.

Do you need anything beyond the hardware? Do you have to buy something specific from the skycoin people in order to run a node or whatever the fuck its called?

Attached: fatgooose.jpg (500x333, 182K)

Post dank skycoin memes.

No, you just need the hardware, or something like a Raspberry Pi where you install git, Go and the skycoin software

No you don't have to buy anything.
Set up your node, join whitelist, wait for rewards.
It takes 5 minutes to lurk nigger
skywug.net/forum/Forum-Skywire for guides
t.me/skywire for retarded questions
>There's an economic incentive not to tell you.
It all comes down to adoption, so more miners -> more value in the long run. 100 rewarded skycoins with Sky being the new internet is better than 1000 skycoins with project failing or taking forever to achieve critical mass.

Nope. Just set up the nodes with the skywire software, make sure it's connected and then apply to the whitelist.

that's a standard gpu miner. it has nothing to do with skycoin. you probably own shitcoins that that thing has mined. get rekt faggot

where can i find all the hardware needed

what's the price of a skyminer?

can someone explain how this shits supposed to work come mainnet? a mesh network based on 30km wifi antennas? cool bro but your average cellphone isn't going to make a wifi signal loud enough to be heard that fucking far away.

why do you think a mesh network has to be omnidirectional?

it's replacing cable/dsl infrastructure with point to point directional wireless connections over unlicensed frequencies. it's not a giant fucking wireless lan. cable ISPs have a monopoly because of how expensive last mile infrastructure has been. skywire is gonna make your setup cost less than a few months of cable bill, yet last for a decade.

honestly if done right it'll make shit like 5g seem like inefficient toxic junk. no need to bath the world in radiation strong enough to reach into people's pockets from miles away when you can send focused beams across longer distances and keep omnidirectional broadcasts short range and low power

give me a real world use scenario as this network was intended. is it meant to stream gay porn to your avg commuter going down the highway or do you have to go to the bath house to succ their network connected through a sky node

ah so you're just a porn addicted retard. I'll stop wasting my time.

The network was conceived in examples of places as Africa, China, USA, and other places where there's a need for internet access due to local circumstances, a need for political freedom (China) or places where internet access is abundant but unaffordable to a lot of people (USA, Africa). Also you can reason we're living in a surveillance state and this has market to not only counter that but fill a gap in the current market how legally grey it might be.

I know a company that's paying 40.000 USD a month for services SKY is going to deliver. SKY has allready been contacted by several large companies for such services and several companies are allready making applications for the sky platform.

user, be smart. Seriously.
