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

How to set up the Antminer S9i and S9j?

How to set up the Antminer S9i and S9j?

Precautions for use
1. The power supply is recommended to be 20% or higher than the miner's power consumption. Antminer APW3++ PSU is recommended.
2. The router or switch connected to the miner cannot use the one with the POE function.
3. Miners can only connect to routers or switches by wire.
4. The recommended temperature is 10 to 35 degrees.
5. It is recommended to use the ambient humidity below 65%.
6. Pay attention to dust and catkins so as not to corrode the hash board or cause the heat of the miners not to dissipate.
7. To enter the miners backstage, you must use Google or Firefox browser.

A. Front fan (intake fans)
B. Rear fan (exhaust fans)
C. Miner model
D. Serial number (SN) of a miner, to review warranty status
E. Estimated hash rate of miner model
F. Rear fan connector
G. Front fan connector
H. Chain #8 connector
I. Chain #7 connector
J. Chain #6 connector
K. 6-pin power connector
L. Control board chain connector 
M. 6-pin power connector

1. New miner inspection

1. Check the appearance of the package; when receiving a new miner, check whether the appearance of the package is damaged. If there is any damage, please unpack and check whether the miner has any apparent damage;
2. Appearance inspection of the miner; take out the miner to check whether the miner's casing is deformed, whether the fan is damaged, and whether the cable and fan cable is damaged;
3. Check the miner's heat sink; look inward from the front and rear fans of the miner to check whether the heat sink has fallen off.
Note: Because the hash board is directly placed in the card slot of the chassis, it is a bit loose. You will hear a dull and heavy sound when shaking, which is normal.

2. Miner wiring and inspection

1. Connect the hash board; each hash board has 3 PCI-E ports, each of which must be connected to a 12V power cable, for a total of 9 12V cables.
2. Connect the control board; the control board has a PCI-E interface; just connect a 12V-PCI-E power cable.
3. Network cable connection; there is a network cable interface in front of it; pay attention to the direction when connecting, and the crystal head must be inserted in place.
4. Check whether the data cable is loose or not inserted in place.
5. Check whether the fan plug is loose or not inserted in place.
6. When inserting the power cables of the hash board and the control board, pay attention to the direction of the buckle, and do not connect them in reverse, as the reverse connection will burn the hash board or the control board.
7. When the power supply is connected to the miner, there is no difference in the cable sequence; there is no problem as long as it is connected well.

3. Miners use

1. Find miner IP
After the power supply is supplied, the miner starts to start. After the green light of the miner starts to flash, you can find the IP of the miner. The method to find the IP of the miner is as follows:
Download link:
IP Reporter download page
a. Open the IP search software, press start;
b. Press the “IP Report” button on the miner;
c. The miner’s IP address will be shown.
Note: The miner and the computer must be in the same network. Otherwise, the signal feedback from the miner will not be received.
find miner IP
2. Enter the miner backstage
After the miner's IP is found, enter the obtained IP address on the web page, press Enter, a dialog box will pop up, enter the user name and password, and press Enter; both are root.

3. Modify miner IP
Click "Network" to enter the miner IP setting page, select "Static," enter IP, subnet mask, gateway, DNS in the following four boxes in turn, then click "Save&Apply" to save, after the page buffering is completed, then proceed to the next step.
Remarks: a. If the number of miners is less than 3, you can skip this step (whether to skip or not can be decided by yourself, it is not necessary to set static IP for less than 3 units).
b. If you don't know what DNS and gateway are, please check the article Check the Gateway and DNS server.
check the Gateway and DNS
4. Configure mining pool miners
Click "Miner Configuration" to enter the mining pool and miner configuration page. The URL is filled with the mining pool's address, the Worker is the miner's name, and Password does not need to be touched. Click "Save&Apply" to save. (This step is to connect the miner to the mining pool)
Remarks: a. Antminer pool is used by default here. If you use other mining pools, please modify it to the mining pool's address you want to use.
b. If fhq is my sub-account, the following number is the miner's IP address and network segment, which is the miner's name when added together; you can also write the miner's complete IP, such as fhq.192x168x1x100.
configure mining pool
5. Miner backstage hash rate interface
The configuration is now complete. It takes about 5 to 30 minutes to start mining.

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 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
