GM. Let’s smash it this week.

Some Bitaxe lore dropped by @WantClue . History of the PCB development. Original name was “Day Miner”. It took @skot9000 almost two years to build a prototype that can be handed to a layperson. I’m so bullish on Bitaxe. Support Open Source Miners United: osmu.wiki

This is the place @miljan.

“Bitcoin evolves around the products that we build. We have a chance to embed cypherpunk values into our products. This is how we win.”

At @BTC Prague dev/hack/day the @Bitcoin Design crew will host usability testing stations. I’ll bring a #Bitaxe and I'll be running some AxeOS usability tests. Curious about solo mining or want to try a Bitaxe? Drop in! We’re giving out some ecash to everyone who participates. More about BTC Prague dev/hack/day:

For @ATL BitLab Battle of the Minehackers Hackathon I’m working on a project called "Minor League Miners." It’s a weekly competition for small miners (<4 TH/s). Instead of competing for pure hashrate, we’re battling for best difficulty. Who can land the luckiest hash. This came out of something me and a friend started doing while solo mining with Bitaxes. We’d just text each other our best difficulty each week. It turned into a fun little competition: who got luckiest and hit the highest best difficulty. So I thought why not turn this into a HashLeague feature? A Minor League for small miners, competing in a luck based competition. Weekly rounds. Best session difficulty wins. Here's the current Hash League implementation:

Hash League - Global Bitcoin Mining Pool Visualization

A leaderboard that ranks bitcoin communities by the combined hashrate of their community mining pools.

I put together a doc and a rough Figma wireframe of how Minor League Miners might work and look. I'm still working through the idea and it might have some holes (I’m still new to mining). Doc:

CryptPad: end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite

Otherwise, if you're working on a project I'm happy to team up. I have a design background and I can vibe code some decent looking front end.

Battle of the Minehackers | ATL BitLab Hackathon

A global hackathon focused on all things bitcoin mining. Mining should be decentralized. Join the fight.

God bless open source bitcoin developers.

I’m running my own Bitaxe, on my own mining pool, powered by my own hardware. I’m becoming ungovernable.

I’m going to be running Bitaxe / AxeOS user testing at Dev/Hack Day @BTC Prague. I’m preparing the test script and need the best Bitaxe setup guide. Participants will use it while setting up for the first time. What’s the best Bitaxe setup guide?
