Other acquisitions that I have to make first to keep my significant other happy⦠but it is on the list
Make her happy faster πππππ€ππͺ
Only so many hours in the day π€£
Oh now I see your problem.
?
I thought about just ordering one and asking for forgiveness, but maybe when I get my stolen money pittance from the govt this year, Iβll just do it
π€£π€£π€£
If we don't hear from you we know what happened ππ«£π
If I donβt make it, know that it was probably a slow and painful death π€£
You can play the only verifiably non-rigged lottery in the world meanwhile supporting Open Source development.
Don't be complacent, do something.
Electricity prices in the UK.
That will still cost billions to run here lol.
England is a virus get out of there π₯²
@npub18rdm...dhce do you know how much it costs to run for you?
May I suggest a Nerdminer?
You can also more easily build it yourself.
Still in the process of getting an EU Passport, got Irish family. On my to do list!
I donβt sorry , Iβm just in it for the love.
good luck!!
Tarifs π€£
just kidding
So you're ordering one? π€
Nothing


Ser, you have to plug it in π₯²ππ€π½
Its plug now, but not in my home.
Lack of money, increasing energy cost, and nobody saying what is the the average mining income.
Lack of monies is a good reason.
15watts so not much NRG use.
It's a binary game we're playing with solo mining.
We either find the block & take the entire reward or we get nothing.
3.25 BTC is the current block reward.
You don't leave in Romania
I was wondering why I meet so few Romanians, you guys can't leave, ffs.
Currently we don't have president, he resigned, ...we are ...fucked
I can leave it, but it's a thing maybe you will not understand... Let me explain...
β¦and we contribute decentralization..
Nothing


Giving me Bitaxe fomo π
The balance of my bank account π
But i will definitely at some point. Have the greatest support someone can imagine: my wife and #nostr πͺπ
View quoted note β
One day you will get it done!
Amazing wife love it!
Not enough heat generated to be useful
It's an asymmetric bet to win 3.25BTC & more importantly to support Open Source mining development & decentralization.
I love that. I run my miner using DATUM all for open source.
I actually might buy a bitaxe, but the only reason Iβd do it is because Iβm going to buy a hydro kit so I can learn about hydro cooling before scaling that up.
There should be 10x the number of bitaxe like projects, I love the open source hardware aspect with Kicad files. Bitmain is the problem here and until @npub16l0c...yj9s releases a chip we will be stuck wasting effort reverse engineering their chips when we could be doing better things.
I didn't even think of that tinkering aspect with liquid or immersion cooling.
Cheers brotha!
Bitaxe gang π
run two
My retarded highly uninformed take is that buying sats is a better financial investment for me personally. I guess distribution of hash benefits the network and further secures my sats even if just marginally. Idk. I always pretend Iβm gonna run a node and buy a miner and then I never do.
Running a pruned node is just too easy, idk why you wouldn't do it.
Maybe 5 total clicks.
The Bitaxe is an assymetric bet meanwhile supporting Open Source mining development & decentralization - no brainer if you got the funds!
Iβm being a bad pleb ok!
In all seriousness Iβve been here for far too many years to not contribute in some capacity.
LFG!
My node running adventures have led me down some really interesting rabbit holes. Interesting for me anyway, since I don't have any computer/programming/linux background at all. I've learned a lot on the journey. Running a Bitaxe (or 3 π) is fun and supporting open source development while enjoying another hobby is enough incentive for me to justify the expense to myself, lol.
But as @npub1ugnq...898l said, setting a node up is super easy now. My DIY Start9 just works without me having to think about it. Not like one I had going on bare metal a few years back that i kept on tinkering with.
Common sense π
Supporting Open Source & home mining
= Common sense.
Give me a break.
The person who liked your comment btw is notorious for not giving a shit about Open Source btw.
Iβd rather just stack sats. The bitaxe isnβt contributing much
That is your right & I won't hate on you for stacking instead, but your statement is wholly untrue.
So untrue, that it hurts π€.
CAPEX price/Th is like pissing in the wind.
Doing the Lord's work fighting the good fight here!
time + effort vs other things
I ran a lightning node before. Was interesting but I do not have the mental space to keep up with it. I imagine the same would happen with a miner.
Oh dude mining with a Bitaxe is the complete opposite of running an LN node.
Set it up and let it rip.
Passive AF ππ«πππ€.
Nothing! got onecas soon as i discovered they exist. Great project.
I am off grid with little solar, so i run my nerdminer 24/7 and bitace from sunup to sundown, will improve that setting.
Learning not only about #bitcoin and #mining but also about power usage, solar and batteries.
Big win!


I almost accidentally unplugged it the other day moving my power bar, the barrel connector was half out. My uptime π


Waiting on a HeatBitβ¦
