Rigly is a Bitcoin hashrate marketplace. Bid on hashrate and start mining bitcoin today. ⛏️ We're Nostr's 1st Bitcoin Mining #BlockParty! 🎉 The party is @Upendo! Follow us for Bitcoin mining education. If you're obsessed with hashrate and group solo mining, this is the spot. 📍

Buy hashrate, get new bitcoin!

Did we mention mining via Rigly leads to earning bitcoin KYC-free” 😉

Bitcoin Mining: solving your privacy needs since 2009.

⛏️ Mining is like DCAing—anyone can do it.

Get started hashing sats today with just 1,000 sats.

Rigly is for the #plebchain to be able to bid, then mine, bitcoin.

We do NOT do cloud mining; we auction hashrate so anyone can mine.

GM! Everyone give a warm welcome to nostr:npub14fkfcx9j0494g8zejfdxsr9t8raxt9n8vzkz6l5w4ef0gjysh4dqcsmkgv today! Welcome to #Nostr! 🫡

HODLer can potentially earn a profit when they buy hashrate & mining farms get upfront liquidity 📈

🤝 We’ve been on #Nostr for a bit, but have recently become more active on here so we’re joining #introductions!

Rigly loves mining! ⛏️ We help you get in on mining without having to buy a miner, flare some gas, or buy a ton of expensive electricity. We also don’t do cloud mining or rentals.

We sell hashrate at auction. Simple.

Anyone can buy hashrate and that helps miners with their upfront expenses. This also helps steer the power of Bitcoin mining away from giant, centralized pools.

We hear you Nostr plebs are also into decentralization! Nice to meet you.

I just finished reading Bitcoin Mining Economics by Daniel Frumkin. It's a good read! My biggest takeaway is that large mining farms are the Ghost of Bitcoin Past. Convertible debt offerings to buy bitcoin are the Ghost of Bitcoin Present. Smaller, more distributed mining is the Ghost of Bitcoin Future. Here's why.

Large mining operations are simply not profitable to run on a bitcoin standard. They never have been. After you spend all the capital to buy machines, site hosting, cooling infrastructure, and power purchase agreements (PPAs) you start your business of accumulating bitcoin deep in the red. In order to reach net positive profits you have to dig out of this debt hole AND earn a profit on top of it.

But ASICs depreciate rapidly and network difficulty continually explodes upward so mining farms are working against a very significant headwind. They are racing to accumulate a bitcoin stockpile before their investment depreciates. Frumkin runs the numbers, it almost never works out in real terms. You pretty much always get to keep more bitcoin in the long run by simply buying and holding with that upfront capital.

So why are there so many large mining farms? Because of fiat debt financing models. If you can get someone else to loan you the dollars to build out a farm you can win in the long run thanks to Gresham's Law.

It's the same fiat game every intelligent investor with an appetite for risk is playing. Get as much fiat denominated debt at the best terms possible that you can service without defaulting. Use that money to accumulate assets that increase in value. Denominate your liabilities in a depreciating unit of account and transfer all your wealth into appreciating assets. This is how the Cantillionaires benefit from the money printer. It's a story older than bitcoin, but the strategy is turbocharged with bitcoin's unbelievably rapid price appreciation.

This model has worked for 10 years with mining farms because the big money was too stupid to just buy and hold bitcoin. They weren't comfortable with this risky new asset. They wanted to see a business model with cashflow, financial prospectus, and, most importantly, assets to hold as collateral.

That's all changing now. Saylor has upended the model. Now, even mining farms are skipping the mining part and jumping straight to the Saylor strategy. Today Riot, operator of the largest mining farm in the world, announced they are raising half a billion dollars. Are they investing in ASICs? More mining sites? Research and development? lol not a chance. They are buying bitcoin. The dumb money phase is over. Smart money wins from here on out.

What does this mean for the mining industry? I don't have a crystal ball but I think a good educated guess is that the largest bitcoin mining farms will stop getting larger. The business of paying for electricity solely to mine bitcoin is going away. Bitcoin mining will enter an era where the only profitable way to mine is to make use of it's positive externalities: exhaust heat, demand response, and stranded energy.

The future is putting an ASIC in every water heater and HVAC unit. ASICs in every windmill and solar panel. ASICs on every oil well flare stack. ASICs on every new nuclear plant, but only until demand ramps up and a higher paying customer displaces them.

The declining block subsidy will reinforce this trend. As mining becomes less profitable, only the miners who don't rely on mining profits will survive.

In a nutshell: decentralization is coming. I am so fucking here for it.

This is what we learned the hard way and therefore why we started Rigly!

♟️ TL;DR: The game has changed. ♟️

Decentralization is not only the future, it will be the only way to profit from bitcoin mining.

That’s not WHY we are passionate about what we do. We’re most passionate about helping decentralize bitcoin mining—which will therefore democratize it.

YOU are the miner now. Without the overhead of expensive equipment and electricity. No scams. No rug pulls. You don’t even need to be a dev.

Anyone, in their free time, can bid on hashrate. You stand to maybe earn some sats while miners get their bills paid upfront. (They still have to deal with all that pesky overhead; you don’t).

Rigly makes decentralization easier for the average pleb to take part in mining.

GM! Stay humble, hash sats! 🌞

🕷️We’ll have to get into our origin story!

The reason we don’t just use ASICs is because they’re expensive and tough. We tried mining, we really did.

But working with hardware sourcing, logistics, power, uptime, etc., made us learn the hard way that mining is centralized around owning ASIC rigs.

💡 This led to our epiphany:

“What if there was a marketplace where bitcoiners could buy hashrate and start mining on rigs from around the world, without owning hardware?”

We also bought a rig from a hosting company…and got rugged. Mining rugs happen a lot. So we had another idea…

💡How about multisig on-chain escrow?

So we gave it a spin and eventually decided on 50/50 escrow to benefit both hashrate buyers and miners.

Eventually, we got the idea for hashrate auctions because hashrate is like any other commodity, so why not auction it?

Now, we have Rigly, a mining marketplace where bitcoiners can bid on hashrate, mine bitcoin, and maybe even earn a profit.

Oh yeah, and that’s KYC-free, too. 🔥🔥🔥 LFG! 🚀

Happy Sunday 👋

Good afternoon,

Stay humble, hash sats ⛏️

Sure. Let's say a mining farm sells 90 days of 1 PH/s hash on Rigly:

- 90 auctions, 1 PH/s per day, for 12/15/24 to 3/15/25

- Hashrate sells for average 5-10% discount to realized future hashprice

The hashrate sells to several buyers, who send it to different pools, versus the single pool the mining farm was using. Let's say there are 10 different buyers of the hashrate, and so now there are 10 new miners participating, versus just the mining farm selling the hash to a single pool.

The mining farm gets 50% upfront payment for the hashrate, so they can grow faster. The remaining balance is held in escrow pending hashrate delivery to the buyer.

Rigly allows mining farms to get access to liquidity, by selling hashrate and getting partial payment upfront, so they can buy more ASICs, scale up with a new location etc.

Buyers of hashrate get to mine with the potential of earning a profit, by taking a measurable amount of risk.

The idea is to give mining farms a new source of funding and offer bitcoiners an easier way to mine, with the potential of earning a profit.

What do you think?
