Some people that would consider themselves good partners and solid bitcoiners will say they don't wanna participate in a development that has the risk you are exposed to with being grid connected and dependent for power.

Generation on site and unconnected to grid is something I would demand if I had a networth above 100 bitcoin

I have all of the numbers. Finding partners isn’t the issue, it’s finding good partners.

There is a lot of acreage at both sites for solar, etc.

No that's done in Missouri and Texas. Missouri has no regulations at all beyond the substation.

In both cases the fuel is reliable dirty coal. The rate will be between $0.058 - $0.062 per kWh depending on the size and deal with utility and landowners.

I tried this on Twitter before and I'm pretty sure the algorithm suppressed it and also that reputation means more here than on the bird app, so here it goes:

I am a Bitcoin miner since 2017 starting small and always growing slowly as opportunities arose. In early 2020 right before the lockdowns I co-founded a company with two other people experienced at raising capital because I wanted to mine at larger scale and of course get more Bitcoin. We spent over a year raising money on Zoom calls in an environment where everyone was freaking out about committing capital.

What I learned through this process is that the venture capital world is mostly full of awful people who only think in dollars and can't wait to tell you how to compromise your vision and bend the knee to what the hot idea of the moment is. In our case, it was eTheReUm mining because the risk was considered lower because of all of those cheap GPU's and a large supplier willing to discount them even more for a part of the deal.

Long story short, I was out voted by my fiat partners and the VC's and decided to leave the company. I ended up working on some gas flare mining in Wyoming and then an on grid project in Missouri where we helped some Chinese miners escape. While much smaller, these projects were a lot more fun.

So, with some context and history out of the way, here is the pitch. I have a couple of sites in Missouri and Texas with a lot of available power. Everything I personally have is in Bitcoin and one of these sites. I would like to build them and am open to hosting, however I want to do this with real Bitcoiners who share my beliefs about how important it is and want to have fun and earn some corn along the way. The sites require transformers and other electrical infrastructure which is not cheap. I don't have a plan beyond having the energy and the experience to build and run it and I'm genuinely curious how many of you would participate in something like this if given the chance? I'm happy to have this conversation publicly and also in DM's if you need to send something privately.

If all of this sounds sketchy or too shitcoiner, I would like that feedback as well. I see Foundry's hashrate going through the roof and I have no idea how smaller miners committed to Bitcoin can help to protect the network without joining forces.

I'm seeing a pattern that NOSTR made possible : every Bitcoin adjacent project got a boost .

plebs got energy, the devs see real time usage , some projects that were aiming for the future and hoping for usage are happening now.

Some examples :

-Stacker news registration is at all time high

- the race with nostr clients , the competition between then makes the evolution really fast.

- iris was supposed to be a messager and social media app, now it's a nostr client

And there are many more.

Nostr was the black swan , the turning point for bitcoin that we were not expecting, and it has only just begun , it's going to be beautiful and it is a honor sharing this moment here with you .

Maybe im preaching to the choir

But how do we convice other GET OFF ZERO!!! #bitcoin   and fight CBDCs?

After the halving, I might build a beef processing. How many sats do you think I’ll need?

On Twitter, I assume everyone is a troll.

On Nostr, I assume most comments are genuine, if perhaps badly worded.

Red Envelope Link Spam can politely fuck off

Can someone in Europe send me a gram of gold? Please pay for shipping. I need it in the next 5-10 seconds, and I don’t want to give you my address.

Gm lovely nostr ⚡️

I suggest everyone should choose unique zap sats amount to make zapping more interesting 😅

Mine is 57 sats, what’s your?

Randomly zapping 57 sats to random nostr users from now onwards 🫂🧡

ya Jack

I’m assuming you mean Jack… I’m a nobody and was only in charge of twitter for one day in a dream.

Hey #[8]. I think I got suspended from Twitter for talking about Nostr and I don't seem to be the only one. Have you seen any negative repercussions from talking about it yourself?
