I spent hours looking at my first half dozen slides.
Lots of manure to make a hot pile. Charles Dowding on YouTube has a video about his somewhere in his channel.
I make compost and try to grow veg.
Have you tried a different client recently? I think there's some difference in how they do the follow list.
Moved over to Alby but it's probably next on the chopping block.
Ready to get rugged? Cisco Meraki can help you with that.

Seconding Braiins, they just switched to FPPS for more consistent rewards for intermittent miners.
If it's stock then you'll want to replace the PSU fan for sure. The intake/exhaust fans can also be replaced for lower noise. I went with 140mm noctua, but I heard good things about ac infinity fans. Then you need a firmware that allows setting a target wattage. I use Braiins firmware and set it to 650 watts. End result sounds about the same as an average gaming PC.
Stable Video Diffusion is very impressive. It made this:

Did Bitcoin mining change forever yesterday 🤔
Hey nostr:npub1zmc6qyqdfnllhnzzxr5wpepfpnzcf8q6m3jdveflmgruqvd3qa9sjv7f60 l, @npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk, and @npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr, I watched the announcement yesterday but came away with a lot of unanswered questions that I'll detail below. I would legitimately love to hear the answers to these if at all possible!
How is Ocean non-custodial for the average miner?
On the stream it was mentioned that payout thresholds are 0.0108 BTC (but nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr was unsure), a number that would take a pleb miner with an S9 ~470d to reach.
Until he reaches that payout point, all of his mined sats seem to be entirely custodied by Ocean.
How does Ocean decentralize mining today?
I was so excited by the teases and pre-announcements for Ocean as it sounded like exactly what I wanted in a Bitcoin pool. Unfortunately, it sounds like all of the decentralization possible is yet to be release, including StratumV2 and any ability for miners to submit block templates themselves.
Did I miss anything that makes Ocean more decentralized than other pools today?
Why is Ocean not open source?
If Ocean is as revolutionary and decentralizing as it's being made out to be, wouldn't the best thing for Bitcoin be that all pools switch over time to the same mode?
If so, why isn't Ocean open-sourcing any of it's protocol or code? In the announcement it seemed that nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr was bragging that no competitor would be able to "reproduce" their lead dev's code, thus keeping their competitive edge.
There was no mention to my knowledge of open source, but it's possible I missed it!
What guarantee do miners have that you won't censor transactions?
As miners cannot submit their own block templates right now and the source is not open code, miners have to rely on manually checking a visual block template on your site to find censorship.
nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk has a history of censoring what he viewed as "spam," and there was a lot of time spent in the conference talking about how bad Ordinals are and how bad pools are that mine them.
What guarantees or promises do miners have that you won't censor transactions you don't like?
How will Ocean handle regulatory pressure to enact KYC?
In the event that regulators of the Feds come knocking and want you to implement KYC (as seems to be the case with other pools), what will you do?
What will Ocean's fee model be after the 0% period?
There was a lot of talk about how most pools subsidize larger miners and charge exhorbitant fees to smaller miners during the conference. One thing that wasn't ever mentioned was what Ocean's fee policy will be after the 2mo 0% fee period.
Could you explain how the fee model will work?
Conclusion
That's enough questions for now, I think, but I look forward to getting answers to these! We have a desperate need for decentralized mining in Bitcoin and a massive gap today.
I look forward to hearing back 🙂
Thanks for asking these important questions. The hype yesterday was disturbingly one-sided.
This little free pantry is visible from my usual lunch spot. I watched two different people walk away empty-handed so I went to look at the contents:
There was also a note on the front asking for the return of the cooler, which had been taken, so that someone could donate more perishables.
Regular oven, 475 F with a splash of water at the start for steam.
Small but worthy improvement to my compost bins: put a board under the tarp cover.
This keeps the rain from pooling on top of the tarp. Tarps are not a good long term solution because they get torn on the wire edges of the bin. Metal roof scraps with heavy weights have been working well on my compost storage bins.

Baking for the first time in a few months. No-knead recipe still works.

Feels good to be a composter.
Just turned the 11th pile of the year for it's last hot phase. The 12th pile is starting to heat up too.

A freeze-dried candy store just opened here. I'll have to stop by and check their menu and prices.
It should be there in the OP, do you see it? Here it is again:
On the porch sounds great. I'd like to put roof over this one so I can use it in the rain. Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to share more about the design, materials and build process.
Looking straight down into the feed tube of the rocket bench.
