Just had my first review for the Bitchin' Sink (heatsink) I made for the Bitaxe.
"FUCKING LOVELY".
That's good, right?

I've redesigned the BitHalo for the Bitaxe with aesthetics in mind—dedicated copper layers ensure top-tier power delivery. Use the sleek rear power port for a clean, streamlined look without compromising on performance or power delivery. #Redesign #Bitaxe #Aestheticshttps://m.primal.net/MBwZ.jpg https://m.primal.net/MBwa.jpg https://m.primal.net/MBwb.jpg https://m.primal.net/MBwc.jpg

BTC For Precedence is my new favourite saying.

2024-11-07 15:56:37

Using code BTC2024 on www.thesolomining.co sees you get 20% off everything - when paying with Bitcoin. The fees and costs that come with FIAT are bullshit.
BTC for Precedence.
Use code BTC2024 at checkout - valid for BTC payments only

Someone asked me about the Bitaxe and the heatsink mounting hole centres. I can't remember who it was. I just hope you see this...!
-------
It is a square between hole centers.
I extracted all the CAD data from the gerber files and put the thing in CAD - you can't really beat that for dimensioning!

@BTCPayServer Thanks for your tremendous contribution to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Thrilled to finally have BTCPay Server set up on my personal node, and it’s working beautifully. #Bitcoin #BTCPay

BTCPay Server is a beautifully designed piece of software. Running it self-hosted on my own node feels exactly like payment processing should be: sovereign and secure.
