Check out LightningSpore.com, mushroom and electronics shop which accepts BTC+LN We specialize in open-source software and hardware to automate growing of mushrooms, plants, and other stuff

If I have a LND node and node setup I like and am comfortable with, what is the simplest way to connect to my node using NWC, and be able to zap from my node from my iOS and my desktop.

What tool do I need to install for NWC? Can I still use primal? I am willing to diversify into another client if needed, but has to be iOS compatible.

I dont really want to do alby hub, as that seems to be more like a "node in a box" solution with extra Nostr extras pre-installed. I want just like a simple translation tool, I can run on my Linux box my node runs on.

thanks so much!

Cleaned up my 2nd s19k miner yesterday. This one came with an Amlogic control board and running a slightly older stock bitmain firmware. This one was immediately flashable with Braiins tool, and all gravy.

Can’t wait to get this deployed and hashing4heating this week.

Recently onboarded a couple normies onto Matrix. To me feels like a serious contender to signal.

I like the seamlessness I can access my chats from desktop and mobile.

SimpleX was a pain, and I’m currently locked out of my account lol

Loading some Lions Mane into the freeze dryer with nostr:npub100rse6q23xxvfvlp05ye97shyexlrz8peqrtvrk4gsjw3dql26rqxu63y7

Going to make some infused hot chocolate

If you have questions, let me know, I can help you get started

Not feeling very well today, but still have to check-in on the cultures and the farm.

Making some new agar plates as well, because I am running low.

Check out some cultures I have going. The first one is a "cube" variety. You can see that besides for one part, most of the rest is a vigorously growing isolation.

Then there are 2 petris of different Lions Mane strains. Lions Mane mycelium is definitely the weirdest of all, it grows very irregular, very wispy and stringy, but that is just how it looks.

Finally got back to my Seedsigner port work.

Was able to successfully sign a testnet transaction. Seems like my button issues are solved.

i will only say that i heard a report from a dude i worked with that he noticed when he was in late teens (90s) he lost hearing in one of his ears mostly after a vaccine and he only realised it may be the cause after he met some other people who had the same thing happen... i learned this in 2018

i have most recently been suffering with a rapid decline in my vision, but the baseline problem, which isn't so bad, is my shortest distance to focus has almost doubled since i i can remember

what was much more problematic was the problems i have had with convergence causing double vision,and the primary cause of that was actulaly stuff liek sucralose, acesulfame-k, possibly aspartame and saccharin sodium... the latter two seem to be less of a problem, and the reason behind those things (and also, it caused tinnitis) was that they are toxic to the kidneys

so, idk exactly the details nor can i say anything for sure about your condition but my suspicion is that probably there's something in your diet, some nasty, new additive in your food, that is contributing to what is probably a genetic vulnerability manifesting symptoms

i am so dark on the entire system after realising about several things with conclusive certainty that it was caused by approved food additives

maltodextrin, holy shit that stuff is bad, if you look at your ingredients list, 1000% you will halt decline in numerous health conditions if you just stop consuming products with maltodextrin

this caused me immense problems with tooth pain

literally my teeth are fine

until i eat maltodextrin containing food

and then i have a permanent toothache

It’s funny you bring it up because my Covid vaccine was about 3 weeks before the fateful plane ride. I’ve always wondered if there was a connection.

I lost the hearing in my left ear. The event that caused it was actually me flying to Bitcoin Miami 2021.

In the following months I tried some basic hyperbaric chambers at a gym, and then when that didn’t work I went to a hardcore hyperbaric chamber at a hospital. I went in the chamber which looked like a submarine with a bunch of people who were car accident victims, and other serious injuries.

It was kind of pricey. I had to do it basically every day for a couple weeks.

Unfortunately it didn’t heal the nerves in my ear and I can’t really hear out of my left ear anymore.

Let me know if you wanna hear any more details.

It doesn’t need to be as hard as I made it, I think. But that’s the kind of person I am a bit.

I just joined an Air Cooled Guerrilla mining telegram chat this morning, and it’s full of people taking this journey.

This all would’ve been less confusing if i had joined that group before doing anything

FAT CAPS

NOT VERY CHILL

Here is the story of getting the LightningSpore S19k miner up and running and the learning along the way... It goes pretty in-depth, so I think it should be helpful for people who really want to know the details of getting a home miner up and running.

First I ordered my miner from KaboomRacks. Apparently my rep went on vacation and stopped responding to customers, so I thought I was elaborately scammed for about a week.

I got the miner finally, plugged it in to my 240V outlet that had long been waiting for it. The miner was loud! I knew this but obviously this wouldn't fly in a home.

My friend and I took the miner apart to clean the dust and grime, and to my surprise, this one was pretty clean. The S15 I won at auction with Denver BitDevs was grimey AF!

I quickly buy some Noctua fans to solve the fan problem. Then I realize I have a new problem...

The standard fan cables are 4-pin in-line connectors, but this miner includes 2 4-pin rectangular fan cables, and 2 4-pin inline. So I quickly try and find a fan adapter.

I order a fan adapter from Ebay, but upon closer inspection of the control board PCB, I realize that I can desolder the square connector, and I can solder in my own right angle linear connector. The pictures show the solder job. It should've be easy, but the PCB has large copper traces which made it difficult to heat up the solder. But I got it done.

Also meanwhile I debug the fan issue, I 3D print some standoffs, since the Noctua fan is much thinner than the stock fan, you cannot use the screws as-is or else it will poke inside and destroy a capacitor or short something out.

I also learn that since I am using custom fans, with a different RPM rating than the stock fans, the stock firmware won't allow the device to mine.

I go to install BraiinsOS on my miner, when I stumble into the funky world of Miner Control Boards.

I learn that, in addition to the laundry list of miner models out there (in the S19 series), XP, Jpro, Kpro, hydro, S19 vanilla, and more, there is also a handful of control boards.

So even when narrowing down to S19Kpro, there are 4 control board options, Beaglebone, Amlogic, Xilinx, and CViTek.

I learn that Antminer is actively trying to prevent custom firmware, and the firmware I am running is one of the firmwares that tries to get in the way. In general, I learn that CVitek is I think the newest, and most documentation doesn't always even mention that it exists.

Finally, I figure out a way to downgrade my firmware, so then I can use the Braiins tool to remotely install BraiinsOS.

Almost there I promise...

I discover my fans aren't good enough to run the thing at full power, which is fine I guess. BraiinsOS made it pretty easy for me to underclock it to 1500W, where it seems to be stable.

Lastly, even with this new firmware, sometimes I reboot and it goes back to the old firmware for a few minutes. I haven't yet determined if this is a problem.

First night leaving my miner on overnight! Nice and quiet. Hope it doesn’t burn my house down!

Tomorrow Ill tell a story about getting the miner up and running at the LightningSpore mushroom farm
