I started mining Bitcoin today and I'm pretty stoked about it.
2 Whatsminers running right now in the basement and keeping the house warm through the night. Been a very long time coming.

Which pool? And is it kyc?
Braiins Pool for now.
Not sure if I'll switch but whatever I do I certainly won't be using a KYC pool. That sounds like a fantastic way to defeat the whole fucking purpose of mining at home 😂
Isn’t brains pool kyc unless your payout is to bip47 reusable payment code? Brains knows your payout reward addresses?
knowing my payout address I don't consider KYC. As I understood it KYC is explicitly about recording customer name, address, etc. I've not seen any indication of that & haven't given them any data in that regard.
Also is Braiins compatible with BIP47 payment codes!? Because that's awesome if they are and might make me come up with a setup to take advantage of it.
Ok yeah. I'm aware of these trade offs regarding visibility on-chain. Still don't consider that KYC, just a typical (though dangerous) privacy problem while working with bitcoin and the internet in general.
Thanks for the thread though, this might be fun for the podcast and I haven't done a show on privacy issues in a while! 🙏🏻🧡
I am looking at Luxor - I like Braiins a lot but not finding many blocks these days
Welcome sir :)

Living the dream. A good goal to work towards.
Nice job! This is what it’s all about.
nice work, must have been a fun project setting that up
Congrats! Now you’re a complete bitcoiner. You’ll have fresh sats coming from the coinbase. They’ll be special a hundred years from now. Take good care of them mr swan!
Started home mining last week for the first time! Coldest part of my home is now the warmest! (And loudest - don’t have a garage lol). Feels great!
This is the next Bitcoin project on my list. Congrats!
