Anyone been picking up miner stock or solely stacking sats?

Heard this before but still crazy. Everything we're talking about in #bitcoin today was probably discussed somewhere on bitcointalk.org way back in the day.
If you're bored or like history, also fun to read old posts - accumulating after a crash down to 7 cents, being "late" to bitcoin in 2012, selling an iPhone 4 for 22 BTC, scaling predictions, "newb" questions about wallets, etc etc.

It’s actually really great. Took 2 seconds to set up and comes with the Ethernet cable. Basically plug and play to put an S9 anywhere you have an outlet and WiFi. Cant tell a difference in connection.
Only downside is the adapter shows up on my router instead of my S9…so still can’t seem to find my S9’s IP on my new network. :/ but otherwise works perfect

Dumb observation of the day:
So I got the Gemini ₿TC-back credit card back when it first came out in 2022 and was curious to see if anyone would say anything when I paid with it.
2 years - not one comment.
FINALLY, today paid with it and someone said, “Gemini! Nice!”
I said, “I know! You get a little Bitcoin every purchase”
She said, ”Oh cool! I’m a Virgo.”
I think we are still early.

Can always get more hash with S19 and other miners, but would require a 220V outlet…and can get pretty noisy lol. Always way more expensive.
S9 is the best place to start and learn in my opinion!

2024-01-04 02:02:13

If you’ve never tried #homemining, I highly suggest it. Puzzle solving and constant learning. Man, after hours trying to troubleshoot I’m finally back hashing!
For a non-tech guy it was definitely a learning experience figuring out what static IPs, DHCP, etc are and how to work through issues to get back set up and hashing.
Pretty stoked and you feel like those few little sweat-sats are that much more precious. And a room is nice and toasty again.
Thanks @npub18am…p424 for the putting me on the right path (you were right! just took forever for me to work through my network to do it), and @npub16vr…p2va (Braiins toolbox is awesome…didn’t have it before)

Any home miners who intermittently plug in run into this?
Antminer S9 with Braiins OS+ firmware. Usually plug in at night and unplug when I’m gone at work, no issues over past year.
Was gone last week and now can’t connect to the miner. IP address is correct and router status says online via Ethernet. Even have the green normal flashing but IP address in my browser (tried 3) says unreachable…so can’t configure or see the miner, or connect to a pool.
Any suggestions?

Are you referring to Softwar (Lowery)? I read it! He makes some good points, I think it could be about 75% shorter of a book and still get the point across.

Recent book journey:
Principles of Economics (Ammous): it was…ok. A little ranty at times. Imo Bitcoin and Fiat Standard were much better, but still worth the read.
Born to Run: a classic, just finished, incredible story. Definitely read if a runner. Don’t fully buy in to the minimalist shoe/barefoot argument but still awesome book. Running is amazing.
Blood Meridian: heard it’s nuts, just started.

Antminer S9 purchased with APW3++ power supply, w 5-15P to C13 power cable. 🤘🏽
Been all in old Bitcoin forum and Reddit posts about being able to run with a standard US 110V outlet (still renting, so need to wait until I can get an extra 220V in a few months which will be more ideal I know).
Mixed opinions, for sure, but seems like you could also run 1 or 2 of the boards vs all 3, with less watts (and hash).
Anyone else running an S9 at home without a 220V?

Confession…when moving over to a ColdCard, I had some shitcoins (Ethereum) on an old ledger from a few years ago. I kept it there for a while, thinking, well, what if I’m wrong? Might be worth just keeping it.
Then I realized that I fundamentally disagree with the premise that I should have to trust anyone, for anything. If I wouldn’t recommend buying shitcoins, and can’t succinctly explain the utility, I should practice what I preach. #Bitcoin is trustless, and is where I spent all my time. It’s better money. It’s freedom. The community is better. The thesis, in my humble opinion, is correct.
So, TLDR, went from 97% to 100%. I thought I was all in before, but now it’s official 🟠 ⚡️
Hope y’all are having a great week #nostr fam, keep on stacking 🧱🫂
