Hey nostr:npub1d7hszp8nut88f48fwawh95m90v85m2wppwekvc6xhp4rwjwd05yqyvk463, you don't have to like all my notes. It's a bit creepy. Did you automate the likes?

You don't do it for the profit, at least not at this point. The BitAxe is the cheapest (and most efficient) to run. It's expensive for the hashpower, but the idea is that it'll fund future development of the Open Source Miners United project.

Purely economical, the Canaan packs a lot of punch for the price point. The Braiins miner is a bit in the middle.

BitAxe 0.5 Th / 14W ~$150 (or a lot less if you DIY)

Braiins 1 Th / 40W ~$199 (or €199, unclear at this point)

Canaan 4 Th / 140W ~$150

Most numbers are approximate. I've added them to my calculator, so you can play around with the economics.

ERCOT pleading to get all bitcoin miners participating as a Controllable Load Resource. I like how he's looking at it from a purely economic perspective: “... and we don't care if it's a load or a generator.”

You have to rip out the Sonos stuff and get the music metadata from somewhere. If you're playing music from your phone on a bt speaker, that's going to be tricky. If you use a laptop, my guess is that would be fairly easy.

I have it running on a RPi with a display, so it also shows the album art on my desk. You might need to rip that out as well, can't remember if I made it really configurable.

TIL you can press the BOOT button to go to the next screen on the display of the #BitAxe. This is new in firmware 2.1.8.

Case builder challenge: expose this button.

This is not competition for BitAxe, but for FutureBit.

There are two Overton windows.
