I'll start with start9 and explore umbrel later.

have four btc nodes here at the house. much exploration coming.

bitcoin blockchain was at ~600 gb in January. it's grown by almost 43 gig on this machine over the past few months.

also....it's time to upgrade to v26!

deal. Gear should be in hand end of week.

totally will do that. got an 8 gb raspberry pi v5 with all the fixins ordered now. lightning is on the agenda.

just getting thru the Jimmy songs book now. took me 2 months to fully ingest the elliptical curve cryptography and signing mechanisms.

man that guy is smart.

that is completely understandable. we all have different journeys and nothing I've built will ever compare to bitcoin.

I'm not here to shill it. I own 85% of the supply and did a bunch of devving behind the scenes to learn how things like liquid staking works, including mathematical topics like impermanence loss, binding curves, and the like. Solana was fun to build on and I use it for plenty of other depin projects like Hivemapper and Helium Mobile.

Through that process I got to learn a ton about various defi protocols and we have 275 holders that are across about 30 nations in Africa. Our next task is to build a bridge thru a service like multibit.exchange back to bitcoin.

I'm a bitcoin native with many hobbies. The difference between me and most folks in that arena is that I secured my lifetime btc stacking goals prior to venturing off into exploring other stuff.

I don't worship money or technology.

well the only non-bitcoin project I built has a liquidity pool with permanently locked wrapped bitcoin on solana on it.

That token, while not being as efficient as bitcoin, is pretty much unruggable and the holders are safe from it being drained, unless Meteora and Raydium fail.

So yes, I agree. bitcoin only now.

working thru Jimmy song's "Programming Bitcoin" rn.

oh dear....I'm getting my rabbit hole trowel out now.

imagine this company being a trusted party for anything bitcoin-related and finance.

is it OK if I lift memes from X and post here?

hi Mr. Fringe.

I own an indoor gun range and gun store here in Georgia. class 7 SOT with full machine shop and everything.

Hopefully soon lightning channels on our e-commerce site.

things bitcoin taught me

--Linux file systems and command line

--shell scripting

--usb driver management

--usb interrupts

--electricity and power management (finding USB 2.0 hubs with the proper power supplies to power these mini ASIC usb miners was a real chore, thank you Rosewll)

--system administration and uptime maximalization

and on and on...thank you Mr. Nakamoto!
