In the future, we will (hopefully) look back on two eras of mining
The old era, when mining was endless competition
The new era, when mining was never ending cooperation
Great feedback
I'll see re: moving hashrate bid to landing page, and see how that simplifies things
Try out the platform
What made sense?
What didn’t?
Does it pull you by the nostrils? 👃

I’m thinking more like an opt-in protocol.
It’s an interesting thought experiment, because every miner would benefit from lower difficulty - small miners and bitaxes especially - but coordination is a hard problem.
Mining is an competitive arms race.
If there was a way for miners to cooperate, they could all shut off an equal % of ASICs, and earn the same amount of bitcoin with far less cost.
What prevents this from happening?

Happy Sunday
Block party solo mining vibe

Upendo mining ckpool address

Block party is up and running
Still a few auctions for late arrivals
Join us and try to mine a block
Bids start from 100 sats

I started the Upendo block party because it should be easy to spend a few sats and try to mine a block.
Why a block party?
B/c mining with other people improves the odds - and you still get the outsize reward incentive of solo mining
Why a block party auction?
Auctions allow early miners to get in for a low bid, and as more people join, higher bids go towards buying more hashrate, improving the odds for the whole party. It's like a flywheel.
How often?
The block party occurs on Saturday every few weeks.
Where do I sign up?
