And another reason: I want to self host my own pool at my own node, because only in this way I can avoid trusting anyone else. Using web.public-pool.io even if it’s solo, would mean that I have to trust them so that my reward is sent to my address eventually.

thank you for your hashrate sir 🫡

im contributing 2.4TH to the network 🤞

Finally set up my Bitcoin node the way I wanted, launched my own self-hosted pool on it, and pointed my “lottery” Bitcoin solo miners with a combined hash rate of 4 TH/s at it! Now, if I’m lucky enough to mine a Bitcoin block, the reward of 3.125 BTC will go directly to my address, generated by the public key on my hardware wallet.

Next, I want to learn how to construct blocks from my node’s mempool directly. This way, in a hypothetical scenario where my transactions are censored, miners refuse to process them, or similar situations arise in the future, I won’t depend on anyone! I can include my transaction in the block and mine it myself. Sure, with my hash rate, it would take me a couple of thousand years to mine a block, but it’s the principle that matters!

There are already thousands of solo miners like me around the world. In 5–10–15 years, there could be hundreds of thousands or even millions. If there are enough of us, it will be impossible to censor Bitcoin through large mining companies, pools, or corporations (which governments, intelligence agencies, central banks, etc., can easily pressure). A swarm of decentralized ants like me will make that impossible.

This resonates a ton for me right now … I made more money than I ever could working a fiat job last year. This year could be even better from a wealth perspective. And I woke my kid up every morning with a smile on my face and love in my heart. nostr:note1r4958gaw5xwvkhgka80autglnxmpx2xuc9uaweyx8l8lfjf3umesyr0lcv

Updated the firmware on my bitaxes. I had been putting it off, thinking it would be complicated. Was shocked how easy it was, literally download the file, browse, and upload file in AxeOS. I'll be curious to see if I get more hash now and if the bootup process is better.

#bitaxe

All within reach.

Let’s not forget the devs behind #Bitaxe. Once this device hits 10 TH/s, mass adoption will skyrocket. With a million plebs running 10 TH/s Bitaxe devices, #Bitcoin will become truly decentralized, taking power away from the centralized mining mafia once and for all.

Did you ever generate a seed phrase that was so awful you wanted to throw it out and start over?

Saylor bought more corn.

#Bitcoin is the natural technological evolution of money.

A BIP to rename satoshis into bitcoins easily ranks in the TOP 10 of the most retarded proposals ever made in #Bitcoin.

People should stand under the night sky and gaze at the immensity of the universe more often as well ✨
