@Bitcoin Mechanic @OCEAN I started mining Bitcoin solely to help decentralize the network and Ocean was crucial to my decision to start a year ago. This week I accomplished what was supposed to be a lifelong goal of mining a block. Anyways, I have no Bitcoin friends, live in a small town in fly over country and even my wife doesnβt care but if there is anyplace that I can celebrate it is on Nostr. Tonight I am putting my kids to bed, pouring a glass of whiskey and going to sit on my front porch in the dark and pray. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time and effort you have poured into Ocean it is turning the tide! π

Welcome! Glad we can meet Bitcoin friends here... until we find them as neighbors one day π«Ά
Congrats. I just recently set up Datum for my S9 space heaters.
Do you run a node and Datum? That is my next step but I am no techie?
Solid work!!
Well done!
I feel sad your wife doesn't care brother.
if it helps you can tell her my wife cares about Bitcoin. Because she does.
She just canβt see past the gaslighting of politics. She loves people and wants to care for everyone (including the govt handing out money). She sees taking away money/power from the govt as hurting the least of these. I have had many convos but they always end with her feeling like I am preaching and smarter than her. I try to ask questions and be open ended and curious. She doesnβt care about our investing, money, etc. She just wants enough to cover our needs and give generously. On that we both agree so it works. It challenges me to keep pushing myself to keep learning. Just got done with βCreature at Jekyll Islandβ and on to βThe Theory of Money and Creditβ.
If she understood government spends money mostly on self-aggrandizement, of their lifestyle and ideas, and have gone out of their way to destroy the poor, enslave the poor, and create more poor, I wonder if she would see things differently.
I touch on this theme in my book, Benefits of Bitcoin.
I also touch on this theme in my interview on the Bible and Bitcoin podcast.
Congratulations! I started mining on Ocean just last week. Maybe someday I'll get to make a post like yours. Here's hoping...
bitcoiner checking in
Congratulations! Truly Legendary!
I feel you. Kind sir. I to am a solo miner/bitcoiner in a sea of no coiners oblivious to the money issues they all are in. Together we will fix the money and in turn fix the world.
Bitcoin is tough as it is advertised as βget richβ so some people will say they are Bitcoiners and really just are an investor. Bitcoiners are not just investors they are converts. They have recognized the Matrix they grew up living and chosen freedom. Now we wander without a physical community till the seeds we plant find fertile ground.
That is glorious! 1 year and hit a block! Keep it up!! I hope to be in the same club youβre in one day..π«‘
congrats and well done
congrats friend!
I would like to start mining myself as well but the cost of electricity is too high in Italy, where I live.
I might buy a nerdminer or similar. what equipment do you have?
I mine for heat with an old M30 but if you really want to invest in mining you will have to use a host to make money and scale. I use Hashlabs they have been awesome to work with. They host around $.065/kwh and have really good prices on asics. If interested let me know and I can send you their contact info or Telegram channel.
How can get started with no money? I'm in a very bad spot
