It's been roughly three years, nine months and fifteen days since the last #bitcoin halving. So far, each epoch has been less than four years.

I know others can calculate the time with much greater precision than "days", but this is as much as my brain can put together!

I’ll be the independent third-party who will facilitate this transaction for you both. Please each send me one of your BTCs and I’ll send what I receive to the other person. (You pay miner fees.)

For those who are looking to purchase the spot bitcoin ETFs in their retirement accounts, be aware of potential tax consequences.

Greetings and PV Nostriches!

At the end of 2022, I got an S9 miner for fun, to learn more about mining, and apparently to heat my office too! Since I started "hobby mining", I've been tracking my energy usage, the weather, sats earned, etc. I thought I would share a bit of that with you fine folks.

The below grid shows my average and total energy usage per month and year. (This is all of my energy consumption in my home from everything, not only mining.) The obfuscated figures are my hard dollar costs charged to me by my utility provider - it includes taxes, fees, everything.

I'm watching my year-over-year change in energy usage as well as these same stats when my miner is OFF vs. ON.

Finally, not shown, is how many sats I've earned as rewards. I track those daily as well summarizing total 'units' aka sats received per month. I assign a daily value to those sats based on Yahoo!'s "closing price" of bitcoin for the day. I then take that monthly "value" of sats versus my monthly cost for the energy to see how much I "lost" in fiat for the month.

On average, I 'lose' about $2.50 per day. Or, my energy costs are $2.50 more than the value of sats I receive. (Again, I know I am using energy for other stuff.)

All things being equal, if I stopped right now, bitcoin would need to reach $243,456.94 per coin for me to breakeven. Cheers!

I said that over three years ago and I'm still going strong. Whether you jest or not, you've got this!!!!!!!!

I just noticed that nostr.build has an Adult Review section 👀 brb

It looks like exciting stuff is happening in Austin with nostr:npub1q7xqc79rteknhs5s4rsqju2yu8tuguvptu373napkzptsz65yn2qz590jl 👀🔥

Nothing has changed since then! Keep on stacking!

Haven’t seen these low fees like this in awhile

Ok sweet! I’ll take one please. I really appreciate that Yegor!!

That was a cool project me and my friend Borys enjoyed to work on during the #bitcoin bear market in our free time. We aren’t Marvel yet but we put our effort to make it happen and release it!

CAREFULLY READ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU BUY IT !

#Lightning and #Onchain ⚡️ only!

Hi! If we order through the store, can we pickup at the next BitDevs or is it shipping only?

But that defeats the purpose of having a single “you” across platforms

Better solution than SimpleX Chat

It wants you private key though (based on the version I installed but haven’t used yet) 😔

Bitcoin beach party in Chicago next month? nostr:note13unswvrz9vt085wd0kax0f7v9kelwyz9nn8l9xpjj2ayg34kqpas8re43y
