Sharing real experiences, tools & challenges as I earn, spend, & save in Bitcoin.

Episode 4 of The Road to 100 TH/s is live! 🚨

My #Bitcoin miners were turning the apartment into a sauna.

So I tested a napkin, grabbed a thermometer, and hacked my HVAC intake to fight the heat.

Did it actually work?

Quick airflow hack for home miners! 👇

Take a light napkin, hold it near where you *think* your HVAC intake is… If it sticks, you found your airflow.

Super simple trick that helped with my mining setup. ⚡

Just grabbed a nostr:npub168euw93e4cam59llcmydav0akwjk2p4nfy3p85pn22xv9y2jxuzq4s9uaw subscription while working at Starbucks — paid instantly with #Bitcoin via Strike.⚡

Privacy matters, especially on public WiFi.

My miners send sats straight to my node over Lightning using nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub — no fees, full self-custody.

Started with a BitAxe… then leveled up to the Avalon Nano 3S. ⚙️

~10TH/s at ~160W ⚡️ — not much profit, but it’s sats stacking passively while supporting Bitcoin’s network.

Turning electricity straight into sats — and routing it all back to my #Umbrel node for instant Lightning payouts. ⚡️

I’m at nostr:npub10hj9rg5gds5x2gk0z0s2jlqnq04jg7g30aj2t5pqzdaaztfactgsnze5ny 2.0 today — it’s been awesome connecting and networking with so many like-minded builders and #freedomtech enthusiasts.

Big shoutout to nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 and the whole #nostr fam for putting this together! ⚡️

Well worth a visit! 👍

Yes, you can mine #Bitcoin at home.

Here’s a look at my simple setup & how I stack sats. 🛠️

Oh wow, that’s great! I think I should be able to make it. 🤞

I’ve only ever forced closed once on my previous lightning node.

I’ve since moved to a new one.

For a brief moment in time I was able to have everything flow naturally in and out. What’s your node ID? Maybe we can chat about a channel. 😁

When is it happening? I’d love to come if I’m able too!

Trust me, I’m well aware. 🤣

I choose the standard deviation for simplicity sake and it provides a good balance of all the different aspects of setting fees.

I could dive into this more in future videos if you’re interested.

Been so busy with my day job, other side businesses, and life in general, that it’s tough finding time to go live and record more content for you guys. I’m sorry!

Two things to keep your eyes peeled for. 👀

- Living on Bitcoin content (livestreams and pre-recorded videos)

- The Road to 100 TH/s (Episodes 4 & 5 are in the works)

Let me know what you guys are most excited about! 😁

Optimizing #Lightning fees isn’t guesswork.

I use nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea → check the standard deviation → set fees slightly above/below.

Keeps channels balanced & sats flowing. ⚡

You SHOULD be good. Start small, build from there. Good luck!

It really depends on your situation. What hinders your profits will be your electricity costs and the price you pay for the miner.

Off the top of my head, it’s not profitable to do this if your cost per kilowatt hour is more than $.10.

Unless you plan on HODL’ing then it’s going to be profitable at some point down the road. Definitely not in the first year.

How to Buy & Secure Bitcoin in 2025!

I finally connected my landlord’s payment portal to Strike Bill Pay. So technically… I can pay rent with #Bitcoin now.

Should I try it next month?
