I think that another significant difference between Wireguard (and almost any other VPN solution) from SOCKS5 proxy is that with VPN, website might detect MTU of your connection, which will indicate VPN usage, while with SOCKS5 it will be the default value of 1500 (unless SOCKS5 server uses any sort of tunnel themselves). This makes it harder for a website to detect proxy.

Given this, might be a good idea to use Wireguard+SOCKS5, where SOCKS5 is only accessible over Wireguard, making it basically an encrypted proxy, combining benefits of VPN and proxy.

If bitcoin hits $200k in 2025, my whole family is getting Linux laptops and Graphene phones for Christmas.

#Bitcoin

You guys are crazy. I bet it doesn’t touch 90k again. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong

Unfortunately I am not a vpn expert and have not set one up for this stuff…

In fact the only vpn I have ever used is the pay for high speed vpn from proton.

If you reach out to them customer support has been world class…. But it may not be cost effective for all

Bitcoin heater

Bitcoin heaters are innovative devices that combine the functionality of a space heater with the capability to mine Bitcoin. These devices are designed to harness the heat generated from Bitcoin mining to warm living spaces, offering a dual-purpose solution that can potentially offset heating costs. Here are some notable Bitcoin heaters available in the market:

Antminer S9 Space Heater Edition: This device uses an Antminer S9 mining rig to generate heat. It features Noctua silent cooling, which reduces noise levels to around 45 dB, making it a quieter option compared to standard models. The Antminer S9 Space Heater Edition can heat up to 3412-4096 BTU/hr and is compatible with Home Assistant for smart home integration.

Antminer S17 Space Heater Edition: This model is an advanced version that uses the Antminer S17 mining rig. It offers a quieter operation with Noctua Redux 1700 RPM fans, reducing noise to around 40-50 dB. The Antminer S17 Space Heater Edition can heat up to 3412-4096 BTU/hr and is also compatible with Home Assistant.

Heatbit: Heatbit is a Bitcoin-mining heater that can warm up to 500 square feet. It operates at less than 42 dB noise, making it very quiet. Heatbit can mine up to 14 TH/s and consumes 1400 watts of power. It is designed to be energy-efficient and safe, meeting US and Canada heater safety standards.

BitChimney: BitChimney is a space heater that mines Bitcoin using a single Antminer hashboard. It is designed for low noise operation and is WiFi enabled for easy setup. BitChimney supports WiFi and can be controlled via an interactive web interface with LuxOS. It is built to be efficient and can be used in residential spaces.

21energy Bitcoin Heaters: These heaters are designed to be efficient and can save up to €3,800 per year in heating costs. They are CE-compliant and meet the highest safety standards. The 21energy Bitcoin Heaters can be integrated into smart homes and can be controlled via smartphone apps, allowing users to automate their use during low electricity price periods.

These devices offer a unique way to combine heating with Bitcoin mining, potentially providing financial returns while fulfilling a practical need. However, it’s important to consider factors such as electricity costs and the profitability of Bitcoin mining when deciding whether a Bitcoin heater is a worthwhile investment.

I’m having a friendly war game with my IT department.

I got approved to try mining at work for educational purposes.

My IT buddy says he thinks he can 100% block my mining. So far he blocked all the mining sites on the work firewall which didn’t stop the miner. Then recently he blocked ports which did interfere with mining.

Since then I tried to connect the bitaxe to a hotspot to bypass the network but that didn’t work and felt like cheating.

My next attempt will be bringing in a Wi-Fi router, set it up as an AP with VPN tunneling.

Wish me luck! The white hat war for decentralization has begun! 😂⚡️🫡

How much noise does it make? I know nothing about the solo miners, and little about the big ones

If the US government 🇺🇸 sells #bitcoin from silk road we will wait in the <80k

Time to go crazy?

Golf season needs to be back soon

thats fucking awesome.

Red team all fucking day.

onward and godspeed.

Don't be a pussy. Use Public pool.

When I win 3.125 #Bitcoin (minus fees), everyone who likes and boosts this post gets 1 million sats.

To decentralizing the hashrate, one BitAxe at a time!

I want this as 2 Troy Ounces of solid .999 gold. I don’t want gold as coins. I want it as trinkets and talismans. My view of gold isn’t as investments anymore. I see it as fun treasures and electrical connector coatings.
