By the end of 2024, Bitcoin price is expected to reach $100,000! The crypto bull market is back

By the end of 2024, Bitcoin price is expected to reach $100,000! The crypto bull market is back. Bitcoin, the top cryptocurrency, could hit $100,000 by the end of 2024, according to a report by Jeff Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank. By the end of 2024, we could see Bitcoin (BTC) reaching the $100,000 level , as we believe the much-hyped "crypto winter" is finally over. According to Kendrick, Bitcoin could benefit from many factors. For example, recent instability in the banking sector due to the end of the Fed's rate hike cycle and the increased profitability of cryptocurrency mining. As uncertainty persists, Kendrick believes the path to the $100,000 level is becoming more apparent. Bitcoin has bounced back this year, topping $30,000 for the first time in 10 months. However, the crypto industry lost trillions of dollars in 2022 after the Fed raised interest rates. Observers Are Arguing About Bitcoin Standard Chartered isn't the only

Antminer S17+ hash board test shows "lack of ASIC chips" or "ASIC=0"

Antminer S17+ hash board test shows "lack of ASIC chips" or "ASIC = 0"

1. Antminer S17+ hash board test shows "a lack of chips"

Troubleshooting method: adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear, test according to the chip number reported by the computer, and test the voltage of the five signal test points (CLK-CO-RI-BO-RST) corresponding to the chip respectively.
For example, a single S17+ hash board has 65 BM1397 chips. When the test fixture detects that the No.30 chip is faulty, it will be displayed as asic num=30; then, it is necessary to check whether the voltage of No.30 and No.31 chips is normal. 

number of chips2. Antminer S17+ hash board test shows "asic num=0"

the number of chips is 0
Troubleshooting method: 
1) Swap the data cable of the faulty hash board with the position of the data cable of the non-faulty hash board (replace only the side of the hash board), and eliminate the problem of the data cable and the control board. If it cannot be solved, the hash board is broken. A test fixture is required for further inspection. It is recommended to use Antminer test fixture offline version, click on the video to see how to use it:
2) First, we need to test the domain voltage, but we do not need to measure the voltage of each domain. First, test the voltage of the entire domain to see if there is 21V.
First, we need to test if there is 21V between the first voltage domain and the last voltage domain.
Test method: Adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear, and place the red and black test pens on the steel windshield (because the steel windshield is under 21V voltage) and the heat sink of the first domain.
If there is 21V, recheck the voltage of RI (because checking the voltage of RI can be positioned. After positioning, check the voltage of the domain, LDO 1.8V and PLL 0.8V output). The inspection direction of the RI voltage is from the back to the front (from chip No.65 to chip No.1); we do not need to check one by one; we can start from the middle of the RI signal at this point is 1.8V, we will check forward, and if not, check backward.
Test method: Adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear, and place the red and black test leads on the RI test point and heat sink of the same domain respectively. If the RI signal of the chip has 1.8V, continue to detect whether the RI signal of the previous chip in the same domain has 1.8V. If not, check whether the domain voltage between the two chips has 1.5V. (Because the domain voltage powers the chips in the same domain).
Ri voltage test
If the domain voltage between the two chips is 1.5V, we need to measure the 0.8V voltage and 1.8V voltage of this group of domains. If the voltage output is normal, it means that the chip whose RI signal does not have 1.8V has a high probability of being broken, so it is necessary to detect its ground value.
Ground value detection method: adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the diode gear, put the red test lead on the heat sink of the same domain, and test with the black test lead.

How to repair antminer T17 Hashboard and repair guide manual download

How to repair antminer T17 Hashboard and repair guide manual download This version contains the basic circuit schematic diagram and chip signal direction and voltage introduction We currently publish in Chinese and the English version will be released soon Basic overview: Antminer T17 single hash board uses a total of 30 hash chips, the model is "BM1397", and the signal direction is sequentially transmitted from U1 to U30. Signal direction: "CLK / CO / BO / RST", transferred from U1 to U30, "RI" is transferred from U30 to U1 It also passes 5 test points for testing and maintenance The five test points are: CLK-CO-RI-BO-RST (Please note: The location of the test points in different voltage domains are also different, please refer to the picture notes) For notes and instructions on the test points, please see the following articles: The whole board has 30 chips, divided into 10 voltage domains, and each voltage domain contains 3 chips For the description of

How to repair ASIC miner hash board

How to repair ASIC miner hash board Important parts of ASIC miners – Hash board One  ASIC miner consists of 3 to 5 Hash board, a control board, a casing, and software, among which the Hash board are easiest  to broken. because the ASIC bitcoin miner hash board consists of many serially connected ASIC chips. When they work, they will be in a high-temperature environment for a long time. In this environment, it is easy to burn the chip or scatter the solder due to high temperature which makes the hash board or the mining machine unable to work and no hash rate. How to quickly detective which chips broken it’s the most important when we repairing ASIC miners The Antminer chips fixture fast efficient and easy to use Bitmain Antminer repair inspection tool The ASIC bitcoin miner hash board consists of many serially connected ASIC chips.

How to test the voltage and ground value of the power supply unit of the Antminer S9 hash board?

How to test the voltage and ground value of the power supply unit of the Antminer S9 hash board? Antminer S9 hash board Antminer S9 hash board power supply unit Voltage and ground value test of Antminer S9 power supply unit 12V voltage test Test method: adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear; the red test lead is placed on the positive pole of the power interface of the hash board, and the black test lead is placed on the negative pole of the power interface. PIC chip voltage test There is a white dot next to the PIC chip, which is 1st Pin. Test method : Adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear, measure whether the 1st Pin of the PIC chip has output, and the normal voltage is about 3.3V. If there is no 3.3V, please check the connection status of the hash board test line to see if the hash board is normal; if not, you need to re-program the PIC. MOS tube voltage test There is a black dot on the MOS tube, which is the 1st Pin (Figure 1). This is because the voltage of t
