But why have it be Opt In? I'm still having to convince business owners that would never know I'm paying with BTC. On By Default to USD is what we need.
Sorry man, filters don't work. Look at the sub sat transaction research. Flip it over, imagine you want to stop me from putting a consensus valid (this is very important) transaction on chain and you have 90% of nodes. Research shows you cannot stop me. Again b/c my transaction is consensus valid, filters are relay policy. If filters actually worked an attacker could easily spin up thousands of AWS nodes and eclipse the network. Bitcoin would have very little value b/c that's not censorship resistant. BTW I fucking hate ordinals and OP_Return increase, but this ain't the solution.
Hi all 👋,
I’ve been offered the chance to buy a small Bitcoin mining setup from a trusted friend, and I’d really appreciate your experienced eyes before making a decision.
The setup includes:
- 6 complete Bitmain AntMiner S9 units
- 2 additional modules reconfigured for liquid cooling
- Full infrastructure shown in a video (link below) covering ASICs, power layout, ventilation, and more
Context that matters:
- Location: Mexican Caribbean — where electricity is both very expensive and highly unstable
- The farm ran successfully for 2 years but has been idle for 4–5 years
- My friend is offering it for 20,000 MXN, which includes initial setup support and maintenance guidance
I’m still new to mining at this scale, so I’d love your input on:
👉 What should I look for in the video? (e.g., signs of wear, dust buildup, corrosion, cable quality?)
👉 Given today’s hashrate, difficulty, and BTC price — is this hardware even viable?
👉 With high electricity costs and grid instability, could this ever break even?
👉 Are liquid-cooled S9s a red flag or a clever hack?
👉 Any critical questions I should ask my friend before saying yes?

Grateful for any insights — whether you’re pro-mining, skeptical, or just been through something similar. Every perspective helps! ⚡️₿

I work in mining. S9 is a very old model and very inefficient compared to today's models. Expensive unstable power is the opposite of a good mining environment. You'll likely loose money on this deal. Mining generally is almost impossible to make more SATs than you spend unless you have some edge, like subsidized power, valuable use for heat, etc. It would be a hell of a learning tool though, 4-5 years idle... eeek!
Great, so I can spin up thousands of AWS nodes, eclipse the network, and stop your transaction? Sub-sat transactions have proven filters don't work. There's a new research paper on it
Imagine If filters did actually work. Would bitcoin hold any value?
So let me get this straight, Blockstream was the villain for for block size, now chaincode is that for... relay policy? Get a grip, what a nothing burger
Pretty sure he developed it after
Szabo is spitting nonsense here and you guys are not thinking this through. These lines of reasoning are crap. Fees have NOTHING to do with nodes and Bitcoin has never given a shit about what is legal. Ya'll need to go back and listen to Andreas Antonopoulos.
Node war :) how stupid, its like none of you actually understand how bitcoin works
Charging/paying for events, meetups etc… with bitcoin is pretty bad. So we took our Zaprite checkout and applied it to a simple and powerful new ticketing platform native to Zaprite.

If you are planning a paid gathering of any kind, give it a try!
Can confirm it works great. You can ever top up with lightning if the price moves while you are checking out.
How can Bitcoiners be so smart... and so dumb at the same time?
You should do it, the miners will thank you
An Illinois based company, with “the blessing and backing” of Bill Gates is making butter from carbon and hydrogen. According to the company it tastes and smells like the butter we know but minus the fertilisers and emissions tied to the typical process. What could possibly go wrong? ☺️

I am glad someone has the courage to address the butter crisis. There's a lot of dry toast in the world.
Tell them to pay USD to BTC with Strike, problem solved.
Your noob friend and I should have a beer. I got liquidated on Ledn, it was brutal.

the entire concept of jaywalking was created by the auto industry. before cars streets were considered a shared resource. the auto industry created jaywalking to distract from the huge rise in pedestrian deaths from cars.
why is the ability for a government to help people always associated with money printing? cities in the US used to pride themselves on the large beautiful institutions they would build for the mentally challenged before the prison industrial complex took over that role. these facilities were made on a harder money standard. money is used to express the values of the holder and just because we are currently told that is must be printed to help people doesn't mean its true. helping people is a choice regardless of the hardness of the money.
no. IMO bricks won't ever have a stand alone currency, just a currency swap system
At the BRICS summit in Kazan, a symbolic banknote featuring the flags of member nations was unveiled, sparking discussions on creating alternatives to the US dollar and fostering a more independent economic system.
