Does Hut8 still mine bitcoin?
If you go to their website, it seems they’ve scrubbed Bitcoin from the site and only talk about High Performance Compute and AI.
That’s why I’ve been advising her not to tell her friends about it.
For those of you who helped your kids with the decision to save their money in Bitcoin, or earn Bitcoin, I’m curious how you helped guide them through the feelings and complexities of being “wealthy” as a child.
nostr:npub1acxg0e5emvhju48aqu6ru0c8kczcy932jjseltjxl5t79q8rkl0qan9gne, Bruce Fenton and others have had their kids earn Bitcoin in the past from selling mugs or saving gifts in sats, or other entrepreneurial ventures.
My daughter has been doing that since she was 7.
Now she’s 13 and the bitcoin she’s earned from buying Dogecoin & selling it after Elon Musk pumped it, making a rare pepe and saving family gifts in BTC has appreciated a lot.
Like any kid, she was asking me constantly to buy iPad games for $2-3 each, and I told her she needed to earn some money to buy the iPad games.
As I was working for a crypto fund in 2017, she always saw me looking at crypto charts and she decided she wanted to make money buying coins.
She borrowed $20 from me to start, went leverage long on something she liked the logo of (antshares or something) and immediately got liquidated.
I told her she had to pay the debt off by deleting $20 worth of iPad games. She got upset & gave up on trading.
A week later she was back asking to buy an iPad game, and I told her she still had to earn it. She decided to try again, borrowed another $20 and this time went long dogecoin with only 2X leverage.
The value went up & she “cashed out” enough to buy a couple iPad games.
It was July 2017 and we were on a trip to Portugal. We both forgot about the trade for the rest of the trip.
We didn’t remember to check on the trade again until something like Dec 2017.
The position had gained significantly, and she cashed out ~half to BTC. She didn’t try trading shitcoins again.
She took ~$200 to the local animal shelter and bought food and toys and donated the rest of the cash.
She took ~$200 to the local women’s shelter and bought food & toys and donated cash.
She held on to half the DOGE until Elon pumped it in 2020, when that happened she sold the rest to BTC.
In 2021 she created a counterparty pepe and some nft degen bitcoiner friends helped her get it approved in the first series of Fake Rares.
She used some of her BTC savings to pay for the directory listing fees and counterparty fees to get it approved, and the buzz of a kid getting into the first series causes a bunch of the collectors to buy most of her Pepes pretty quickly.
Some people traded her their Pepe for hers, which she accepted and put for sale on the counterparty market for BTC.
In the end, she earned enough BTC from all of these endeavors to need a hardware wallet & start learning about securing her seed phrase and thinking about the future.
I’m looking for some resources on how to guide her to think about how to deal with having so much savings as a 13 year old, and how to navigate conversations with her friends about it.
Multiple times she’s had friends try to get out of her how much she made, how much she has, etc.
I’ve told her from the beginning, and multiple times a year not to let anyone know specifics, be diplomatic or just even say “I don’t know my dad does that.”
We also went through the whole Tutle Twins series when she was 9-10, she liked that but didn’t want to dig into any of the concepts any more.
I told her how sometimes wealth can be perceived as a negative thing by friends without savings, and she understands that.
She seems to be doing a really good job navigating it - but I’m looking for some resources to help her out.
Now we know why Biden was calling up reserves nostr:note1ufzlh9fpfwq2ay6x9w9kxl024l0t55s4cj7c8cezy9xvl8lgklsshvrh6k

As you may or may not know, I’m starting a dungeons and dragons podcast with nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs nostr:npub14actrvwqkhfg7f9p8hf3h7ea5r509c8pkltklyxyvl5kfl08gpuqjtnayx and others soon.
I was out in the woods looking for inspiration and I shit you not I came across a mysterious hole off the trodden path.
As I approached it, it looked out of place, but nothing out of the ordinary.
I spotted 3-4 little frogs jumping around at the bottom which caused me to look closer.
Upon closer inspection I found a pagan looking statue with a bell sitting on it.
I didn’t have my d20 with me so I left the site undisturbed. 
Swapping Peanutbutter and almond butter for PB2 is one of the best fitness / nutrition hacks I’ve learned this year.
You can mix it into a Peanutbutter paste consistency to put on things or just throw it in shakes or sprinkle it on cottage cheese / Balkan yogurt.

Ledn just capitulated to their crypto investors (Dan Tapiero and others) and added support for ETH 🤦♂️
Anyone know a good bitcoin-only service in Canada for borrowing against BTC?
I did the same this week, lost an inch
Travis Kling told me in a Mario space treats that he thinks friend.tech is better technology than NOSTR.
Wut. Can someone talk to him about this?
What were they doing ? Looking at his communications?
Trying to setup a new jade wallet with a friend.
They got the seed, but when connecting to the iphone via Bluetooth it’s stuck spinning at “logging in” on green wallet.
I tried connected it to my phone and same issue.
Any suggestions?
Here’s a free $35 Nintendo eShop Gift Card for someone who’s kid really wants to play switch games online. (Only works for US accounts.) 
I don’t suppose there are any Bitcoiner RV mechanics near Quebec City who could come see my RV and let me know what sort of repairs I’m looking at, or possibly even do a repair?
I was driving back to Ontario from Cape Breton, and 3 days into our journey the wheels came off.
Thankfully I was able to wrestle this beast to the side of the highway without any major issues (aside from said wheels coming off.)
CAA was useless, but the Quebec Police (Officer Will Carrerra) helped me big time. They got us towed to an RV Garage near Quebec City, but the problem is - everyone is closed on the weekend.
I won’t know until Monday what will be required to fix it, or even if they can fix it.
I was hoping to get back on the road tomorrow or Monday, but I’m worried I won’t be back on the road until Tuesday or Wednesday at this rate. 
I’m away on vacation & my niece got a bug bite.
My sister is worried, but I think it’s just a normal bite.
She’s been waiting at the local emergency room for 5 hours, probably going to be there all day.
Any Bitcoiner dermatologists who I could pay to diagnose it remotely?
Didn’t upload on time for the main post but here it is 
When I was 8 or 9, I used to collect silver dimes.
I can’t remember why I started collecting them, but my nan just found an old piggy bank I made as a kid with some of the old dimes in it.
I have had limited screen time the last week as I’m on my annual pilgrimage back to the Atlantic Ocean.
It feels great to be disconnected from the grind of keeping up with commenting on and joining Twitter spaces about the latest news in the chaos machine that is crypto twitter.
I don’t care about the SEC, I care about finding a dump station and getting inverted once a day. 
Shitcoiners have built a “decentralized Reddit” using “blockchain” and “DAO governance” using a token.
Is this something we can replicate on Nostr, where people can create and *moderate* communities/forums?
Or does Nostr’s lack of a delete post feature make it near impossible to create moderated forums?
The reason I’m asking is because this tech is being used to power a very influential pro-bitcoin person’s community, and I don’t think they realize it.
We should provide that person with a non-shitcoin powered alternative, if it’s possible.
