August 29, 1997 #bitcoin becomes self-aware 🤣😎
If your CEO looks like this, I want to follow you. 😎#bitcoin
It’s a really good movie that nails the concept of passing on knowledge as paramount.
Seriously unfortunate. We have this issue in our society where, if someone disagrees with one thing you say or like, they immediately shut down any chance of collaboration, friendship, or even being civil. We used to be able to disagree on 20 different things and still hang out, be respectful, and remain friendly. We're losing the ability to stay chill and not let our differences divide us.
Are you ready to hash at the cutting edge of the Open-Source Bitcoin Mining Efficiency Wars and usher in the Bitcoin mining Formula 1 era?
The future of #BITCOIN mining will demand more hands-on innovation than ever before, granting unprecedented control over hardware, costs, and efficiency. Mega Bitcoin operations are already preparing to establish their own research and development divisions, staffed with open-source Bitcoin developers focused on waging the next great battle: The Bitcoin mining efficiency wars. Many are beginning to realize they haven’t fully accounted for the halving’s impact, with some operations just one price dip away from bankruptcy. While many will survive through creative strategies, efficiency and open-source thinking will be the key factors determining which operations thrive in the years ahead.
With this new level of control comes game-changing efficiency that only open-source Bitcoin hardware development can offer. The pace of open-source innovation in Bitcoin mining hardware is lightning-fast, and few are truly prepared for what’s coming. Open-source Bitcoin hardware development doesn’t sleep, take weekends off, or observe regular holidays, it’s a global movement fueled by some of the brightest minds on the planet. This revolution is driven by passionate individuals reshaping a billion-dollar industry in their twilight hours. Hashrate wranglers, open-source cowboys, hashboard hackers, the motto is simple: "Open-source everything."
The next phase will bring the creation of the first-ever open-source Bitcoin mining hardware, powered by a new generation of incredibly efficient ASIC chips, like those from blocks inc. With a capable PNP machine, anyone could manufacture the most efficient mining hardware available. Picture an unknown mining operation deep in a remote jungle, led by an innovative and creative engineer with access to a PNP “pick and place” machine and modest manufacturing equipment. They could be building and running the most efficient Bitcoin mining operation on the planet, and nobody would know. Why? Because of open-source Bitcoin hardware!
Bitcoin mining has become predictable, with most operators running variations of the same 3-4 popular rigs. Competitive advantage has mainly been tied to cheap electricity or efficient cooling, solar, and geothermal energy sources. However, the next five years will be the heart of the efficiency wars. Soon, you won’t know who’s running what anymore. Just because a company employs open-source Bitcoin hardware developers doesn’t mean they’ll share their innovations and stay true to open-source principles, they might guard their competitive edge closely. The key to success will be ensuring your operation is staffed with the brightest open-source minds. Engineers capable of manufacturing your mining hardware, not just managing it.
As highly efficient ASIC chips from companies like Block Inc. and others hit the market, any company with modest manufacturing equipment, like a PNP machine, could produce cutting-edge Bitcoin mining hardware on-site, keeping pace with the rapid advances in next-generation ASIC chips. Imagine a future where hardware upgrade costs are cut in half because you're simply replacing hashboards. The idea of an S21 chassis being the last one a mining operation will ever need! Eliminating the need for redesigns of infrastructure like mining containers and cooling systems to accommodate new hardware form factors. Upgrading would be incredibly simple, just swap out hashboards or, occasionally, control boards.
Right now, everyone is working within the same limitations, relying on just a few new mining hardware models. It’s like stock car racing, where all the vehicles have identical specs. But Bitcoin mining is about to enter its Formula 1 era, where those who innovate and build custom hardware will gain a significant efficiency advantage. The only question is: Are you ready to hack the future of your mining operation’s efficiency?

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f is a unpaid 100% passthrough volunteer organization.
The whole team genuinely cares about the mission.
We have extremely very diverse opinions and backgrounds and very limited operational resources for the volume of applications.
No application is decided by a single person. We also have committee of also volunteer peers who also opine and vote. Once the committee votes with soft ACKs. We have a minimum of 5 positive votes by the board for approval policy.
Everyone and their applications are considered! But we are not going to fund everything. After careful volunteer time is used for reviews a vote is made.
There are many orgs with different methods.
No one is entitled to be funded. Pro tip, be graceful. Aside from being extremely unprofessional to shit on OpenSats in public, you are shitting on unpaid ppl who are trying to do their best and are not perfect. We simply don't have the time and resources (and shouldn't waste money) on giving each and everyone a very detailed feedback. we are talking about hundreds of applications and a dozen ppl here.
Criticism is very much always welcomed and encouraged. We need to know what we can do better.
If you truly care about improving, send a fucking EMAIL. Bitching in public only hurts the ppl who are doing the work.
The FOSS funding will continue until freedom improves ✌️
🙌 20k can make a real impact, tangible, measurable, meaningful open-source innovations.
this is my new startsmall tracker. all money movements will be recorded here. foundation is focused on crisis relief, girls health and education, and free and open source software.

This is wild! It feels unprecedented to have this much voluntary transparency at your level. Definitely setting a new tone for humanity.
Is this a dare?🤣
Nostr clients need banscores for misbehaving relays, and relays should be ranked based on performance, with clients prioritizing higher-ranked relays. There could even be incentives for optimally performing relays. For long-term sustainability, incentives need to be in place for optimal relay operators, as experience has shown that "nobody works for free." I suspect a significant issue with Nostr's performance is due to people running cheap relays on subpar VPS.
How about let’s build something awesome and open source for Bitcoin. Dips are for building 😎 Give my zap to the next person.
Good afternoon #bitcoin Nostr, friendly reminder to start thinking about Bitcoin mining heat capture projects for your home and businesses. Winter is coming…
