Bitcoin Mining Just Changed Forever https://blossom.primal.net/f03e193d89d4d2f556052bcbf5eb76f4533ce6da60891b03026c4ac3d08b64bf.mp4

I questioned the non KYC aspect here:

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqst4p68x7rqjtlgkt64mfvg4e3q6hs34stl4fcts5gzj58n7ypk96cr0w834

Seems like that needs some further clarification.

Also, might want to elaborate on Ocean’s payout policy as well just so anyone that wants to try this is aware. On chain payout minimums are around 1 million sats. That’s roughly around one month of 1Ph/s hash rental from Braiins at today’s rates. If you rent less hash and/or want more frequent smaller payouts, you need to setup lightning payouts which require a Bolt12 offer.

Just FYI’ing.

The Bolt12 payouts on Ocean are generally done daily, which is pretty good when compared to many other pools.

It’s extremely easy creating your Bolt12 invoice using Coinos.io. I know it’s custodial but you can transfer after to your non-custodial wallet.

And to be totally clear: it's perfectly rational to mine bitcoin at a loss, there are lots of reasons to do it and you can scale your cost to whatever amount you want. What is not rational is to be a...

@Daniel Prince @Unhosted Marcellus

I really like the idea of this and am currently spinning up a new/separate pruned knots node to test it out.

There’s been a lot of talk or inferring about the advantages of this with regard to getting clean non KYC’d sats. I totally get that from a ‘mining’ perspective in general, but, unless you rent the hash from Braiins using non KYC’d sats to begin with, aren’t you essentially KYC’ing all sats associated with your payout address?

@Matthew Kratter ‘s video yesterday made it clear that you shouldn’t fund your Braiins account directly from an exchange, but, instead, you should fund it from a separate wallet once removed from the exchange (e.g. exchange -> sparrow-> Braiins). I fail to see how this accomplishes anything.

What am I missing here?

It's true that renting hashrate for your DATUM gateway is like swapping your UTXOs for new ones coming directly from the coinbase transaction of OCEAN blocks, but there's very little privacy (if at all) considering all the information that Braiins sees (and what's public). You can add several layer...

Huge thanks to @preston and @Jeff Booth for bringing this to the forefront! Truly mind bending stuff. The Matrix has been used for years to describe the bitcoiner’s awakening from fiat, but what if the awakening isn’t just from the fiat blurred lens but, rather, from our perception of reality based on physics that has been wrong for the past 80+ years?

From listening to this, it makes sense (at least to me) why @Jeff Booth is getting more vocal in his messaging below:

“Pricing a protocol designed to free you from a piece of paper designed to enslave you doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”

He’s literally re-thinking everything.

One last thing - kudos to @HODL for starting it and @preston for adopting it as part of his shows, but this episode’s outro literally made the hair on my arms stand up.

“Time is not a river; time is a heartbeat.”

Brilliant tl;dr of this pod!

anyone own a whole home kohler standby generator? happy with it? is the extended warranty worth buying?

A lot of the models are the same under the cover. In other words, some generac and kohler models might use the same Briggs and Stratton engine, same controller, and same switch gear. An apples to oranges comparison might end up being an apples to apples comparison and ultimately just be about price. Dig into the details.

Agree with a lot of the other comments - warranty isn’t worth much. Routine maintenance and regular/weekly exercising are key. They’re pretty basic…learn how to maintain it yourself and you’ll save sats and probably be able to troubleshoot most any issue in an emergency.

Came here to make the same comment. I love the videos and watch every one of them. I also switched to Knots…even before this op_return nonsense. However, if the transaction is confirmed, your Knots...

Thanks @Matthew Kratter for making this clear in the most recent videos. Relaying this garbage IS the attack. It’s got nothing to do with the nodes ultimately having to download and store it in their copies of the time chain…it’s about distribution. I totally missed this.
