πŸ§€ / πŸ₯­πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ If you're wondering why I unfollowed you, it's because I moved you into a private list. Also, consider not calculating your value as a person based on whether or not a cheese packet unfollowed you.

Our kid has my old Pixel 5a running #GrapheneOS with no physical SIM. It's basically a big music player/Meshtastic messenger. We just installed a silent.link eSIM to test it out. It was about 22k sats for setup and $5 worth of data. At our local rate, it should be about 3GB. A quick Threema video call burned about 5MB.

The data doesn't expire, so it should be handy for some situation where he might need to send us a message. I'd rather not have any network connection on it at all, but this seems like a decent compromise. 3GB of data on today's internet doesn't last long, and you couldn't squeeze 5 sats out of him with a steamroller. He will NOT want to pay for a reload. It should be self-policing for those times we're not there to supervise.

Overall, this is probably a fair option for a kid phone. Pay as you go, just like the old days. Anyone can reload it from anywhere, also. I can't see any reason not to just have one loaded up if you have the eSIM available.

It's not the content we deserved, but it is the content we needed.

Can't wait to purplepill the homies with that spicy donger content. πŸ˜‚

All you people saying Nostr is just full of #bitcoin content, well...... nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r has a little something for you.

Maybe a #meshtastic / nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl plug-in that encode and transmit signed transactions / XPUB as :

Or auto-broadcast on Internet connected clients/nodes/wallets.

I'll take two please.

Is this like a coinjoin?

You should hit about 100 sats per day then. I flop around between that and solo pool.

So far I saw about 3,700,000,000 BD on one of mine.

I'll just send my testnet sats to you and let you distribute them. I just did a quick demo and want to return them to the dev side. DM me an address?

You're golden then. I have the 10mm fan, also, so that makes a difference. If I didn't already have 3 of the fans I would've done the 20mm. What pool are you using?

I was fighting high temps on my #Bitaxe Ultras (1366 ASIC), so I used some thermal paste from Noctua (the fan people) and the temp dropped by 10+ degrees C. I was previously underclocking to get it to 63C. Now I'm running defaults and getting 51C. That's measured by the temp sensor on the board behind the 1366. There was plenty of paste on there that looked clean and well-applied, but it just didn't perform as well as the Noctua stuff.

Now, interestingly, the thermal camera shows me some things I didn't consider.

First, the power bricks are hot AF. It's probably worth getting something more efficient rather than the cheapest 5V supply mankind can produce.

Then I notice that Q1 and Q2 MOSFETs are also hot AF. They're heating themselves, the board, and everything around them. The printed standing case for the Bitaxe doesn't allow for any airflow back here, so I may adjust that. Maybe it doesn't matter, maybe it does. Right now they're the hottest thing on the board.

I also have on hand 3 boards from d-central.tech to compare.

The first has spade connectors on the board and came with a power supply putting out a hair over 5V. This one seems to run the coolest overall. The temp sensor on this board version is nowhere near the ASIC, so it says something like 32C all the time. If you have this board, don't be fooled and don't use automatic fan control.

The third photo shows some heating around the DC plug. I'm assuming this is from a sub-optimal connection dealing with 2.4-ish amps running through it all the time. I'll probably replace that connector with something better or wire directly to the board. This board and its twin both have 5V supplies delivering more like 4.8V at the connector, and they run hotter in general. Hash rate between the 3 boards is close enough that I can't tell the difference.

Now, none of that is probably earth-shattering news, but it gave me something to do while I drink my #coffee.

Ah, it was you talking about testnet. Knew I didn't dream it.

I still have 3800 testnet sats to offload if anybody wants them.
