7. Do different timezones make timestamps slightly greater or lesser without altering timestamp or is the timestamp as seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00 UTC the same regardless of timezone and GMT variations?
In exchange, Compass makes money on the hosting fees and the hardware you buy through them.
.
all good, i managed to glean enough to parse stratum messages in node js, dumping the relevant parts of the coinbase snippets to the console log - verifying that a solo pool does in fact split the coinbase transaction 2 ways.
It must be kept in mind however that this electricity is expended on useful work:
Measured in Trillions, mining difficulty refers to how hard it is to find a block. The current level of difficulty on the Bitcoin blockchain is the primary reason why it is not profitable to mine for most people.
In the event of a contract becoming unprofitable (i.e. the payout can’t cover the maintenance fee), the resulting daily payout will be zero. After that, the contract will continue to mine for 60 days….If the contract does not return to profitability in this period it will be terminated….

Miners are allowed to store everything in the wallet starting from the smallest unit of Bitcoin, a Satoshi, to hundreds and thousands of BTCs. Miners need to create a wallet address using their email ID before installing any free mining software in the device.
Thanks to this, users can get income from mining without significant investments and knowledge of all the nuances of mining cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the online service provides services not only to individual users but also to large firms. The project includes three components: cloud mining, algorithmic trading, and proprietary software.
To say so may seem like whataboutism, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. As the author Ben Yagoda and the Danish journalism professor Christian Christensen, among others, have written, it is sometimes necessary to point out double standards. To do so is to reveal that the premise at the heart of bitcoin’s environmental criticism is loaded.
Cloud mining as an activity is viable and safe, but since you are depending on a third party to manage the equipment and payout the daily profits, it depends on how trustworthy the platform is. The funds are in their custody which makes them susceptible to hacks and fraud. Ensure you make use of all security features like 2FA, whitelisting of address to safeguard your funds in case of a hack.
When residents of an affluent estate community in Alberta started hearing noise from a nearby power plant, they didn't expect their complaints of sleepless nights would lead to a months-long investigation that would find the company had set up operations without consultation or approval.
That opportunity may not last. Huffman, who is also a former utility executive, argues that ever-cheaper power rates in other states, like California, could undercut the basin’s appeal to blockchain miners, who may begin to look for other places to mine. For that reason, Huffman argues that the basin should be actively recruiting more miners, even if it means importing power. “I think there’s a window here,” Huffman says, “and it’s unknown how long that window will be open.” Yet he, too, knows that any such talk will lead to criticism that the basin is yoking its future to a volatile sector that, for many, remains a chimera. “Some folks think that bitcoin is just a scam,” Huffman concedes. “And in the conversation, you usually don’t get past that.”
In a nutshell, if you’re going to try to use a CPU or laptop, mining pools are going to be a possible option and even then you’re not going to be making much if any, as your contribution to the mining pool’s mining power will be limited at best, which leaves you with cloud mining as the only real option unless you’re willing to invest in the hardware and accept the electricity costs that come from all year round mining and that’s before the necessary upgrades and new equipment that is to be expected with overuse.
