You may regret opening such small channels once on-chain fees go back up…

Bullish.

Well, don't leave the rest of us in suspense…

Is this how fartcoin is minted?

Is it, though? Annoying as she was, no one gave her administrator access to a government database.

Interesting. I wonder if they share XPubs and then maybe even settle off chain? (Though probably not, now that SEN is gone.)

Trump? Who called Snowden "a terrible traitor" and who doesn't like to admit he was wrong about anything? I'll believe it when I see it.

Everyone should be heating their home with mining and making their own block templates, for starters. Middle class folks like me should go buy at least one "real" miner and host it somewhere, too.

I have well over 1 PH and I'm a humble, underpaid college professor at a school you've never heard of. If every Bitcoiner who could afford it went out and acquired an M60 or an S21, we could double Ocean's hashrate.

It's better than government lotteries, not worse. Expected value of $1 spent on power for my Bitaxe Gamma is almost $1. Expected value of a $2 Powerball ticket with today's $150 million jackpot is about… 50 cents. (Assuming you don't have to split the jackpot when you win.)

Of course, I'm not including the cost of the Bitaxe itself. But, as you can see, that evens out after not too many "tickets".

Why pick two is the worst regimes out there, though? Put your hash in Paraguay or, say, Norway. Sazmining offers both, for example, though they do seem a little dodgy to me.

They almost certainly already are.

If they're not listed on the Bitaxe site, I'd be careful. A lot of crap/scams out there.

I've used and can recommend nostr:nprofile1qqstrcgctzz2d52thl8r3xwt205pswkauep0yexsla83w3fhrcrpxnqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5xp62jx, D-Central, and GekkoScience for orders here in the US.

I've also used OEGMINER via Amazon to order two Avalon Nanos via Amazon and have no complaints.

I literally replaced what I was spending on lottery tickets with solo mining. :)

(I still do pooled mining with most of my hashrate, because I need to pay the bills.)

No, a share is a share. You get rewarded proportional to hashrate regardless of hashrate. Yes, even the lowest hashrate Bitaxe will work fine.

A fun thing you can do with DATUM, BTW, is to intentionally set the minimum difficulty *higher*. It will take you longer to actually find a share, but then that share will be worth more. In that way, you can actually emulate a lottery with whatever odds you want: "lottery mining" with a full block rewards isn't the only option anymore.

Yes, absolutely. I'm mining on it with everything from a Bitaxe Ultra to an S21Pro (and via DATUM, so with my own block templates). A share is a share. It just takes longer to find a share with low hashrate.

If all you have is a Bitaxe, you'd want to set up lightning payments, which requires BOLT12.

If you have, say, an S9 or better, then on-chain is feasible. The minimum payout is normally ~1 million sats. But, if you stop mining to the account, you get a payout after all the shares have been rewarded as long as you have at least 65,536 sats.

So, if this is required, you can't send to, say, your custodial account at Coinbase?

Even Nicehash allows signing as the preferred means of verification. Sheesh!

I agree: Saylor is a scammer.
