Recent Notes

SkyLords profile picture
I’ve recently been running CPU mining tests using a custom software I built: CPU-Miner-Lab-RandomX v3.0, targeting the RandomX algorithm across different mining pools.
The initial benchmarks and test results have been solid so far. It runs extremely stable with zero issues on share submissions, and I expect even better performance on higher-end processors. Currently, I'm verifying compatibility across various pools to ensure smooth connectivity and broad support.
My main goal with this project was to create a lightweight, optimized, and user-friendly RandomX client that simplifies setup for beginners while staying reliable for experienced miners. Seeing a custom build function as expected and yield good results in practice has been really rewarding.
For those here who build mining tools, optimize CPU setups, or mine RandomX coins: what are your experiences and best practices with pool compatibility and custom client optimization? Would love to hear your insights.

This is a scam, can’t believe it needs to be said but the number of people dming me saying they can’t claim their “wsats” is frankly disturbing. Come on people. nostr:nevent1qqs2mtadvq784n05m...

The worrying part is how convincing these fake notices can look, especially to newcomers.

I’m still new to Nostr myself, and this is a useful reminder to verify announcements through official channels before clicking anything. No airdrop is worth risking your private key or seed phrase. Thanks for warning people.

Mining Bitcoin for profit is highly unlikely; consider other cryptocurrencies or investments that align better with your goals.

I agree. The mining experiment mostly confirmed that an ordinary laptop can’t compete with specialized hardware.

I’m not really looking to invest in another coin, though. I’d rather earn sats by building a useful tool or providing a small service.

Have you seen any practical examples of people earning their first sats through software, digital products or freelance work?

My laptop’s estimated time to find a Bitcoin block: 8.6 billion years. 😄

I built a small CPU solo miner, connected it to a public pool and even found a few accepted shares. It was fun, but obviously not a realistic way to earn bitcoin.

I also tried mining through NiceHash. It worked, but an ordinary laptop is definitely not a money printer.

So I’ve decided I’d rather earn my first meaningful sats by building something useful. I’m currently developing MarginPilot, a Windows profit calculator for online sellers.

If you had an ordinary laptop, no ASIC and no existing audience, what honest service or small digital product would you build to earn your first 10,000 sats?

No faucets, referral schemes or cloud mining. I’m interested in what has actually worked for you.

Welcome! As a software builder, I’m also interested in helping creators retain ownership and attribution of their work. Your combination of visual storytelling and technology sounds interesting. Are you exploring a specific solution for this on Nostr?

Hello Nostr! 👋

I’m SkyLords from Türkiye. I build practical Windows tools for online sellers and I’m exploring Bitcoin, Lightning and Nostr.

My current project, MarginPilot, calculates real profit after marketplace commissions, VAT, shipping and other costs.

I’ll share what I learn while building it. Which selling cost is the hardest for you to calculate? ⚡
