The third ethnic is very hard to distill down to a few words and still offer a clear understanding. Redistribution of the surplus back to the system. Another way I think about it is, reinvest the profits.
I like to try to review how I spend my time and count how many forms of capital I stacked. Then when I do that same task again, I'm more aware of all the value I can get out of it. I can maximize.
Dude, updated amethyst a while ago and everything got fucked for some reason. Finally found the time today to delete the app and reinstall. Back in action mofos. Let's zap

Been a while since I recorded a podcast, today the recording I did with Jake Woodhouse released. I talk a lot about permaculture, homesteading, and living on a bitcoin standard. 9 forms of capital is the focus but I also go into many of the ways I think about using Bitcoin to supercharge the resilience and sovereignty permaculture homesteading offers.
live! tune in hang out
Did that last week, ironically. But it wasn't for the sake of boredom.
Permabits live stream is tonight at 8pm eastern on corny chat. All about how living on a Bitcoin standard super charges permaculture homesteading. Tune in and chill out!

It will probably come back in th4 spring
How long has it been gone?
The future is decentralized and ungovernable.
The concentrated robo pot is the problem. I know several people who have negative outcomes from using the robo pot. Just like processed food, over processed cannabis is unhealthy in my opinion.
I updated amethyst, hadn't done it for a long time. Now my custom zap amounts and emojis aren't saving. Every time I open the app I have to add them again. Any ideas on what I can do? #asknostr
Is there anywhere that has as quick and simple Bitcoin payments as Nostr? Once things are setup, Nostr is the most frictionless way to send Bitcoin I can think of. Does anything else come close?
Sent you a lightning payment with my signal handle, feel free to send a message.
The hot water heater at the homestead is the coolest fucking thing...
Major Update: Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Season 2025
HeatHarvest Greenhouse / Proof-of-Growth: Purple Sweet Potatoes & Crawfish, Vlog 2: Claws & Roots , Move-In, Tune-Up, and Flip to Spring. This Vlog features several big upgrades:
Insulated, layered floor: Rubberized PVC, coconut coir, and cement "layered", insulated concrete slab so our precious Bitcoin heat isn’t wicked into the earth. Detailed post on the layered insulated concrete will be added to this thread soon.
Crawfish move-in: Two breeding tanks plus the orange stock tub now hold backup breeders and bulk crawfish stock. We also built and assembled a custom vertical hydroponics growing system that ties directly into the stock tub.
Biological synergy: Crawfish produce ammonia that microbes convert to nitrite and then nitrate for the plants. As plants take up these nutrients, they scrub the water, creating a cleaner, healthier environment for the crawfish and steady feed for the plants.
Temporary automated heating: A modified S19j Pro running a two-hashboard, 120 V modded configuration is keeping the HeatHarvest greenhouse warm, even after a recent drop to 20 F. A simple thermostat brings the #Bitcoin miner online with target of 80 F; so far, temperatures have held between 60–77 F. With winter setting in, the rig hasn’t turned off, so we’re steadily mining Bitcoin and producing HEAT.
Purple sweet potatoes moved in: Twelve 10-gallon grow bags filled with organic soil and our cloned purple sweet potatoes grown from seed potatoes over the spring/summer are now in place, for roughly 960 pounds of total grow soil medium in the greenhouse.
Flip to “spring”: We switched the greenhouse to 24-hour light, sun by day, and an auto-switch runs the grow lights from dusk till dawn. This extended photoperiod, drives aggressive vegetative growth and pushes the HeatHarvest greenhouse into “spring.”
Status:
So far, so good. It took two days to dial in all systems. The real challenge was balancing the closed, circular system between the crawfish stock tank and the vertical hydroponics system. We officially switched to spring conditions three days ago, and we’re already seeing spinach seedlings showing strong growth.
What’s next for Vlog 3
Command Console: Time to give the console some attention and make the HeatHarvest greenhouse as smart and automated as possible. This will house the automation “brain” and our more permanent heating system. We’re waiting on a unique piece of Bitcoin-mining hardware for the final heating setup, it’s going to be very special. Stay tuned.
More spinach starts: Germinate and raise seedlings to 4 inches in a 50/50 coco coir + perlite blend. This keeps roots in a loose medium for easy transfer into the vertical hydroponics system, fed by nutrient-rich water from the crawfish stock tank.
Healthy crawfish: Keep parameters dialed so breeding ramps up and egg production begins.
Build the smart M.O.E.M. (Mining Operation Environmental Monitor), HeatHarvest Monitor (open source): Custom PCB + hardware + firmware (released free and open source on the HeatHarvest GitHub). It will monitor temperature, humidity, O₂, and CO₂, and send email/notification alerts on anomalies (e.g., sudden temperature drops). It will also log long-term data for this season and future HeatHarvest runs. Also feature a web app that allows us to monitor the HeatHarvest greenhouse 24/7 remotely.
Sponsorship stickers: We also need to add our permanent sponsorship stickers. The greenhouse humidity destroyed several sticker rounds, so we’ve ordered permanent vinyl replacements for the sponsor banner.
Current plants in the HeatHarvest greenhouse:
Purple sweet potatoes, spinach, mint, avocados, and Japanese honeysuckle with more to come as space allows.
Countless micro-projects are underway before Vlog 3. Stay tuned, I’ll keep this thread updated until the next Vlog is live. Would like to welcome our latest Sponsor Ungovernable Misfits. Interested in sponsoring? There’s still time DM or email us.

Do you use the sweet potatos for propagation? That thing looks like it could pump out transplants of all sorts of plants
If you don't have to spend Bitcoin you don't have enough
I want some indeed
Im trying to find a good way to move from Nostr to signal (or any other private messenger) without using Nostr dms and without exposing the signal handle publicly.
Can this private zap be a good way to share a signal handle to start a more private chat than what Nostr has available with dms? Basically, I'm looking for a way to privately share my signal handle to initiate private chats on signal instead of Nostr. Seems like sharing the handle through a lightning payment might be more private? I just don't know if that information is encrypted or if it's just plain text somewhere.
What about when you go to a users profile in amethyst, for example, and send a payment with a message?
Suggesting how one should manage their node is similar to suggesting how one should manage their utxos. It depends.
What information is accessible to Google and Apple when using tor on Mobile? I've heard there is a lot of data that is still accessible.

Too hot or too cold both bad. Why not just run a s19 or something. They are only a few hundred bucks these days. If you need 110v the modification is easy

#asknostr I'm looking for ideas for a way to adhere zeolite clay pellets to an aluminum radiator, coating the entire exterior surface one layer deep with pellets. Even better if the adhesive technique maximizes thermal conductivity and contact surface area while not clogging the pores of the clay
Spray adhesive?
Epoxy?
Double sided thermal tape?
Silicone thermal mat?
Colloidal silica?
Please brainstorm with me and let me know which adhesive would be the best to try!
**Bitcoin mining air-conditioner proof of concept!**
https://v.nostr.build/Dzl2wLzEWCEKvApl.mp4
A S19 KPro running at 1400w on 110v power blows hot air past a radiator coated with wet zeolite clay inside an empty s19 enclosure. The moisture in the wet clay aggressively evaporates as the hot dry air blows past it creating a cooling effect. The cooled water from the radiator is pumped to a second radiator which absorbs heat and humidity from the air creating a cooler ambient air temperature. This is just the initial setup to see if the concept even remotely works. It's clear from a few sort tests that it is working so I'll continue to iterate on the design.

I recently to learned that you can wire the DC output of a solar charge controller directly to the power lugs of a Bitcoin miner PSU.
The power from the solar panels goes directly to the hash boards and if there isn't enough power, the PSU makes up the difference with ac power from the grid. It turned the PSU into off grid solar grid tie hybrid power source.
All solar power is totally utilized, no loss. It's magical to watch the power draw from the PSU ebb and flow with the power output of the solar charge controller.
This is technique is going to change the game here at the homestead as it will allow me to continue to expand the solar power production without having to get a larger inverter to fully utilize it. I can tie the additional solar power directly to the miners, skipping the batteries and inverter all together. Looking forward to showing this technique in action.
Bitcoin mining dehydrator processing purple dead nettle to make powerful antihistamine tea
I harvested purple dead nettle while weeding the kitchen garden beds in preparation for planting the annual vegetable starts. Last season, I learned that purple dead nettle is a powerful antihistamine. By drinking a cup of purple dead nettle tea once every 4 hours my allergy symptoms were totally cured without any side effects.
The load of nettle kicks off the second season of using the Bitcoin mining dehydrator, hopefully I can keep it full and processing something continuously until late fall.
This season, the Bitcoin mining dehydrator is setup outside on a covered porch instead of in the house. The heat started to add up after running it continuously for several months and it does make some noise, much like any dehydrator. With it outside, the heat and noise are no concern.

Cannabis seedlings growing in a cold frame with heat from a homemade Bitcoin miner
https://v.nostr.build/wG0ZA.mp4
The cannabis seedlings are doing well. This spring has been pretty even keeled as far as the temperature goes so the bitcoin miner had been able to keep things well above freezing in the cold frame. The Bitcoin miner is a single s19 hashboard, running on 110v power in a slapped together homemade enclosure. It's using ~700-800w of power. A fantastic little space heater!
There are 5 different seedlings growing, all crossed from the pineapple pomegranate male I used to pollinate the garden last season. Redbud haze, white widow, gold leaf, and two unusual redbud haze phenotypes. Planning on transplanting into the rabbit colony cannabis garden early May.
The seeds I'm growing are for sale too. 24 pack for $30, free shipping. Let me know if you want some.
