The Mining Development Kit - Unlocking Innovation in Bitcoin Mining
Are you a developer or bitcoin miner interested in finding new or better uses for bitcoin mining hardware? We welcome you to collaborate and engage with us.
A little while back Jack announced that we were considering launching a bitcoin mining system based on custom silicon and open source, and our intention to build it in open collaboration with the community. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with everyone from home hobbyists to developers, startups and large mining operators expressing encouragement and interest in seeing us launch such a system. As a result, we announced our decision to move forward with the project.
Since then, we have been heads down building a team to explore our mining hardware strategy, and have kicked off the long process of developing our own bitcoin mining semiconductor chips (stay tuned for future updates). These purpose-built application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are the leading way bitcoin is mined today and will serve as the foundation for a full suite of bitcoin mining products intended to increase the pace of innovation in bitcoin mining, improve energy efficiency and clean energy adoption in mining, decentralize the supply of this critical hardware, increase accessibility to mining, and improve the bitcoin mining user experience.
Today we want to share that we are considering building a mining development kit, or MDK, and we’re inviting you to help us define it. The MDK as we currently envision it will consist of:
1. A powerful, reliable, industrial-grade bitcoin mining hashboard. The hashboard will be designed to be compatible with our custom built control board, as well readily available third party controllers, such as Raspberry Pi. What hardware features do you want to see on the hashboard?
Backward compatibility with existing mining hardware?
Power requirements and power supply?
What are the top things to optimize for?
Improved reliability in the field? Ease of maintenance?
Increased uptime?
Performance? Cost?
Cooling methods?
2. A custom designed controller board designed to work with the hashboard. What features would you want to see on the control board?
Configuration methods? Are there specific interfaces you’d like to use?
What I/O options are needed? Ethernet, WIFI, USB, USB-C?
Smart Home API connectivity?
3. Open source firmware, a software API and a web front-end, allowing developers to modify the key performance parameters of the hashboard. What features of the firmware do you want to be able to modify or control via the API? What preferences do you have?
Programming language? (e.g. C, Rust, etc.)
Operating system preferences? (e.g. Linux)
Open source licenses?
4. Extensive reference materials and support documentation to facilitate easy customization of the hashboard. What kind of documentation and training materials would be helpful?
The intention behind the MDK is to provide developers with a suite of tools to help unlock creativity and innovation in bitcoin mining hardware. We anticipate the MDK being useful for development projects focused on integrating bitcoin mining into various novel use cases - such as heating solutions, off-grid mining, home mining or intermittent power applications - as well as optimization of bitcoin mining hardware for traditional commercial mining operations. With the MDK, we see significant opportunity to increase the accessibility and openness of bitcoin mining hardware, in order to accelerate innovation in the field.
Are you a developer or bitcoin miner interested in finding new uses for bitcoin mining hardware, or optimizing its use in existing applications? What challenges have you faced with existing offerings? What features would you like to see in the hashboard? What would you like to see from the MDK?
We’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out to us at mining@block.xyz get in touch, ask questions, and share your thoughts. Stay tuned for further updates on our mining hardware program in the coming weeks and months.

There are to many regarding our nationality ....
i bought some BTC cause of the hype and without knowing what it really was.
3 months later, i had knee surgery and i took the time to understand What was BTC. And since, i ve digging as a rabbit ....
+++++++++++++++++NOSTR vs Mastodon and co...+++++++++++++++++++++++
Mastodon (and other federated social media platforms)
User identities are attached to domain names which are controlled by third-parties.
These third-parties can ban you, just like centralized social media platforms. Server owners can also block other servers.
Migration between servers is difficult and can only be accomplished if servers cooperate.
There are no clear incentives to run servers, therefore they tend to be run by enthusiasts and people who want to have their name attached to a cool domain. Because of this, users are subject to the despotism of a single person, which is often worse than that of a big company like Twitter, and they can't migrate out.
Since servers tend to be run by amateurs, they are often abandoned. This effectively bans everybody that signed up via that server.
There are huge issues with data duplication across servers.

What are relays?
Relays are like the backend servers for Nostr. They allow Nostr clients to send them messages, and they may (or may not) store those messages and broadcast those messages to all other connected clients.
The world of relays is changing fast so expect many changes here in the future. One thing to note, because Nostr is decentralized and depends on relays to store and retreive data, if you notice that your Nostr client feels slow, it's most likely due to the relays that you're using. It might be worth adding a few more relays (or removing a few) to your client.
Paid vs Free relays
Many relays are currently free to use. Given the costs of running a relay (paying for compute, storage, and bandwidth), most people expect that paid relays will be the norm in the future.
One major benefit of using paid relays now is the higher signal of users and notes on paid relays. The "proof of work" of paying for relay access is something that helps keep spam accounts from infesting the network.
Popular paid relays
An up-to-date list of paid relays with details on how much they cost and who operates them can be found on Relay Exchange
Where can I find a list of all relays?
The best resource we've found for browsing and assessing the speed of known relays is the Nostr.watch site.
What happens if all the relays I use stop working?
If all the relays that you have used in the past go offline, all your posts will be unretrievable. This is one reason that Nostr allows users to connect to many relays – this ensures some degree of backup. That said, if you're really interested in being uncensorable, you can and should run your own personal relay.
Should I run my own relay?
For most people, no, it's not worth the hassle. That said, if you're technical and want to ensure that your speech is absolutely uncensorable or want to run a private relay for a small group, then you can and should run your own relay. This ensures that you always have a copy of all your Nostr posts and interactions for all time. We're working on a guide to this but in the meantime, here is a guide from Andre Neves on how to set up a Nostr relay.
i did it but so far did not get any zap
let s see if i got it later on
