  • The only way to connect the SIM number directly is to hack the VoWiFi protocol, but this is not trivial and you still need to install the SIM in the server.

    Option 2 - Buy a home SIP2GSM gateway. But it’s quite expensive (by the standards of my region anyway). SMS work with SMPP, calls work too. For goIP I wrote telegram SMS gateway if you interesting: https://github.com/lifespirit/telegram-smpp-bot

    Or use SIP providers from your region/operators that support SIP connectivity and then enable full calls redirection. For calls ok.

    UPD: or just use VoWiFi from mobile phone. But you need sim slot in phone.

    Anyway in all another way you need install asterisk/freeswitch and write config fot it. And linphone client.





  • if you don’t want to tell me that people are setting up mining farms in Somalia (because it’s pointless from a risk perspective), I don’t think electricity rates are particularly lower anywhere else.

    In any case, you can make money from anything. It’s just that the risks associated with mining don’t justify the investment. That’s all.



  • This is quite quick. Last time I looked the it was around 3 years. Most of the cost comes from buying the hardware.

    my calculations were made without taking into account the growth of the network’s complexity. So, when I tried it last time, the network’s complexity had increased so much in a year and a half that the equipment was not bringing in much, and it was not worth the risk of investing. However, things may be different now, and I may be mistaken.

    UPD: Now I just buy Bitcoin on exchanges, and it brings me the same % of income as mining. But I don’t have to deal with equipment, follow ridiculous laws, or waste electricity. =) That’s why I say that many peole just tkabe bitclin to cold wallets. Less bitcloin exists on exchage then grow price.


  • There have been no new Bitcoins for a long time. Everything that miners mine is just a transaction tax. In fact, to describe the reason for bitcoin’s growth, you need to understand what money is all about. Not just crypto money, but in general. In short, the price is rising because many (including miners) believe that it will rise and do not spend bitcoins. In a normal economy (except Japan), you could just print more money and the price would drop because the currency unit would depreciate. But bitcoin is a mathematical model, and it has a limit. You will not be able to create more Bitcoins than you have already created in any way. Therefore, the belief in the growth and retention of the currency reduces turnover and the price increases. If any of the whales withdraw their entire stock in one day, the market will fall for many years.

    UPD: Excuse me, I really made a mistake. You can still mine 3 bitcoins per block… but to be honest, 3 bitcoins for a whole pool is only an eighth of the original 25 bitcoins per person. In general, mining has not compensated for mining for a long time.

    UPD: I checked just in case. The average commission payment is now 1.5 bitcoins. almost half of the reward

    UPD: I will reveal my thought even more. An ASIC at 1160 Th/s costs 33k dollars and consumes 11 kW. Even in my region with a low-cost light (only 5 cents per kW), such an asic will be able to bring only 58 dollars per day. And it will pay off only in 1.7 years. This is the moment when the miner will FINALLY stop working at a loss. And this is in ideal conditions without increasing the complexity of the network and other things. So all the miners who don’t buy huge amounts in bulk barely pay for their business.


  • There is a limited amount of Bitcoin, and some of it is lost in forgotten wallets, so the total volume is constantly falling. This may partially increase the price.

    But in reality, as in any speculative market, the price of bitcoin depends mainly on faith in it and speculation about world events (some kind of cataclysms, regular statements of this or that person about cryptocurrency, etc.)

    The main real value can only be found in countries that are disconnected from SWIFT. However, almost no one appreciates this because there are only 5 officially disconnected countries. However, if this list continues to grow, cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin) will become more prevalent in international transactions.
