Man, it feels like #braiins pool is being abandoned by miners. Hashrate has fallen below 840 Phs and is only 0.23% of the global hashrate. We're very rarely hitting blocks at this point. 🫤 I know the BraiinsOS is super popular on ASICs used by lots of miners on various other pools, so does anybody have an idea on why miners on the Braiins Pool have shut off or switched pools?

The @npub1lrj…zvrj S9 space heater build is a great way to monetize your surplus solar electricity. You can be profitable at $0.03/kWh. You're not going to make a ton, but you should be able to stack 60,000+ sats per month.

Hold up, is that a used S9 ASIC mining bitcoin while converted into a space heater inside a sexy @npub1lrj…zvrj printed case, or is that just some wife-approved modern art? The correct answer is both!
I finally finished my build using @npub1rxy…hnp8's easy-to-follow tutorial video. This miner/heater has been up and running on the #braiins pool for about a week, so it's almost time to move him over to my pre-coiner neighbor's house, where he has a cold basement and excess solar energy that he's presently selling back to the power company for $0.03/kWh. We're going to turn that cheap energy into his first sats! Sometimes an orange pill looks like a #iowa #hawkeye themed S9 space heater.
Now I need to build another one for myself. What should the next heater theme be?
P.S. I still blame @npub1h8n…rpev for starting me down this miner/heater rabbit hole. Thanks a bunch, jerk. 🤣🧡⚡️

Sure thing! You listen to Jack and Guy, so do you have a Fold debit card? I used mine to buy Cryptocloaks gift cards and got 7% back in free sats on the case and ASIC fan adapters. I also bought Amazon gift cards on the Fold app and used them for the supplies off Amazon while getting 2.5% back in sats on those.
If you don't have a Fold card yet, you should check it out. It's one of the easiest ways to stack sats by buying things you'd buy anyway. You can even setup bill pay on PayPal and use your Fold card as the funding source when you pay monthly credit card bills and even some mortgages and auto loans. If you don't have one, you can use my referral link to put 10,000 sats in your account when you register: https://use.foldapp.com/r/3MWPHKMY

What's up with the #braiins pool? In the past few days, we're down from over 2% to only 0.67% of the global hash rate. The pool was finding 2-3 blocks per day, but it's been over 24 hours since the pool has found a block. ⛏️⛏️⛏️ C'mon probability and luck!

https://m.btc.com/stats/pool
I'm hashing for #braiins as well. They're only about 1% of the global hash rate, so I only expect to find on average 1% of the blocks. A block every 10 min means ~284 blocks/day, so averaging 2.8 blocks/day is on par. While Braiins finds fewer blocks, there are fewer miners in the pool to share the reward and transaction fees, so you get more sats per discovered block for your work.
That said, I see the hash rate is down to 0.85% today. Fewer block find frequency, but higher payout. 🤞
