Just adding final touches to 3 new AntMiner S19J Pro+ #HeatPunk #Bitcoin space heaters for this winter. 3d printed with high temp @BambulabGlobal ABS filament. 1️⃣ Black S19J Pro+ with Ethernet & Wifi bridge (stands vertical) 2️⃣ Blue & White S19J Pro+ with Ethernet & Wifi bridge (stands vertical) with Noctua silent PSU fan upgrade. 3️⃣ @SatStackingPleb Slim19 design. Black with blue highlights in an original AntMiner aluminum case with Noctua silent PSU upgrade. (no wifi yet - just deciding on the best mounting option)
Added a new washable 1” air filter to my #Bitaxe Gamma. Keeps the gamma pristine with a minuscule reduction of airflow. White PLA helps easily detect cleaning cycles Adding additional filters to my other solo miners today.
Newest #Bitcoin AntMiner S19J Pro+ #HeatPunk LOKI space heater! Built custom for my 85 year old dad to upgrade from his S9 space heater. He wanted something small, quiet & powerful. Printed with #BambulabGlobal ABS filament. Tuned down to only 650w (since his home has limited power & amps) but making ~19 TH/s (still tuning performance on LuxOS Thanks to Altair & PivotalPlebTech for the parts & @Toine for the inspiration.
Bitcoiners, It’s at the point now that we all need to consider the following: #1 self-custodial spending wallet with both sats & BTC like @AQUA Wallet @Wallet of Satoshi or @BULLBITCOIN.COM (even better with in-app atomic swaps to LiquidBTC & USDT). #2 small travel wallet like @Tangem - a common form factor (card) that isn’t noticeable or trigger questions from Immigration officials (unlike common dedicated mainstream hardware wallets). Low key OPsec but still protected. #3 known KYC hardware wallet that all exchange purchases, sales & activities which are subject to capital gains tax & reporting. (address declared & known to authorities) #4 completely segregated non-KYC wallet that never has sats or on-chain BTC mixed from your other wallets. This is a mining hardware wallet, a peer-to-peer bitcoin receiving wallet. You should enforce plausible deniability on it. Have a decoy number of transactions & balance without a passphrase - just seed. Under duress people can access the limited (sub 0.1 worth of bitcoin). On the same hardware wallet & seed phrase a hidden passphrase wallet with your bag Just stuff I’m thinking about. As the value of Bitcoin climes & tax authorities coming knocking, you don’t want to mix KYC & non-KYC sats IMO. What do you think?
Some people think solo (lottery) mining Bitcoin is a waste of time & hardware cost. I don’t see it that way. I’m a #heatpunk & heat my home, my dad’s home & a local non-profit with Bitcoin because we have to pay for heat regardless during winter. I mine to my own full node using DATUM & although my total TH/s is just a drop in the @ocean_mining - that’s the entire point. I do my part, even if it means being altruistic, to ensure decentralization of Bitcoin with my own nodes & personal hashrate. Zero TH/s = zero chance Bitcoin is worth mining for many reasons & my sub-100TH/s home mining still matters in the vision of #Satoshi image
