Some new varieties came in the mail. I'm comparing these OP varieties to similar hybrid varieties to assess vigor and yields. Anyone grow these??
Amazing results from DIY Bitcoin mining maple sap reverse osmosis system.
This reverse osmosis maple sap concentration system utilizes an immersion Bitcoin mining heating loop to improve the efficiency of the system by heating the maple sap before it passed through a reverse osmosis filter. The immersion mining system uses canola oil as the dielectric fluid!

Now that I've had a chance to run several hundred gallons of sap through the system I've have everything pretty dialed in. Depending on the ambient temperature and sap temperature the system is able to concentrate the sap 30-50% faster than before without the immersion mining heating loop. Additionally, the sap is getting concentrated to 7 brix in one pass vs 6 brix which means removing even more water before boiling than before.
The canola oil immersion mining heating loop is providing a 25% rebate on the power usage of the total system after upgrading the vanilla s9 hashboard to an s9j hashboard. So, the system process the sap faster saving time, removes more water saving propane/fuel and boiling time, and it pays a Bitcoin rebate on the power usage. By adding the immersion mining heating loop I've massively expanded the capacity of my existing maple sugaring equipment.
Because the mining system is temporary and I didn't have access to Bitcool or something similar for the dielectric fluid, the canola oil was a cheap readily available alternative. It has been working well with no noticable degradation.
There are some downsides to the system. First I lost a control board because I splashed sap on it. Then I lost two batches of concentrated sap. The heater gets the sap warm promoting the fermentation process, so I wasn't able to start boiling the sap quickly enough in the warmer weather. The bottleneck of the process is definitely at the boiling stage now.
This system can be built for less than $700 and is more efficient than similar systems costing over $2500... Necessity is the mother of invention as they say.

Madman pushing the limits. Never stop!
Also available in orange, byte sized blocks. So good you'll lower time preference! Only available as supplies last.

I made some curried rabbit last. Deboned this morning and reheated. I'm so hungry!!!
Sound advice. Gotta get my list done! Fu nostr. No offense!
People gonna do shit. Flush!
At the moment, absolute privacy can only be found inside your thoughts as long you don't type any of those thoughts into a computer. I've been changing my online patterns, but it's damn hard to not revert to your old stupid ways... any advice?
Well howdy partner! Saddle up, there's a shootout at high noon.
Gm nostr plebs. Treated myself to eggs this morning with fresh rabbit liver and shallots! #coffee chain #foodstr #grownostr

Just saw nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's talk at Bitcoin Atlantis.
It was a slap across the face.
So I am here now. Hey, NOSTR!
Just use it! Comes with free warts!
Cover crops require a fair amount of extra seed. And yes some seed is cheap, but what might a person grow that can produce lots of extra seed to use in cover cropping. I know this context/climate dependent. I like using winter rye and I do grow some to harvest seed and straw. It's a strong plant and produces well on poor soil. I'm trying test other cover crops that work well in my content and that I can grow to seed and have lots to use... to eat, replant and use as cover crop.
And those look like authentic braintan buckskin mocs... legend
