Caught up with @npub1v5g…nsq4 today and caught some epic curves on the CBR650R.
Reminisced about good times on The Ride of Passage.
Another great day in Thailand https://image.nostr.build/44cf78c06c43f3ab41062c0e1920b90e9bfdd54a8a5ecc977e81cea3f90447db.jpg

Just had an Orange Pill opportunity and wanted to send someone their first #Bitcoin . I like @MuunWallet for first wallet because it is very simple to set up, BTC only and self-custodial. However, soon realized it does not have Thai language support.
Quickly looked at my other favorites including @Strike, @walletofsatoshi, @bluewalletio all of which have 2 or less languages supported.
This was a bit shocking to me, assumed more language support. Am I missing something here?
Any recommendations for more global wallet?
Prefer Bitcoin only, simple setup, lightning support, self-custodial.

Dynamic #Bitcoin miner scaling based on Hash Price:
Hash Price has risen significantly in the last few months making mining profitable at lower efficiencies.
Here's how I used @LincoinMining to automatically adjust miner power based on current hash price.
First you want to determine your specific breakeven hash price of your miners. This is a function of your electric rate and the efficiency of your miners. In this scenario I have a Whatsminer m30s++ 110T (31W/T) and a m31s+ 80T (43W/T)
The rough calculation equation is:
BreakEven HashPrice = Miner Daily Consumption (KW) / Electric Cost ($/KWh) / Miner TH
Next, set up rails in Lincoin mining dashboard that use Hash Price as a signal.
Apply the rail to your miner and it will automatically adjust!
Widespread use of dynamic scaling is good for the #Bitcoin network. Overall it will help to smooth out short term spikes in transaction processing in between 2 week Difficulty adjustment periods. Miners are naturally incentivized to increase hash during brief periods of demand https://image.nostr.build/a159f0d20814a7d810bd0b0a4183e77d3acf84e184b2d37ae1294da526b502e9.png

I was attempting to login to the IRS website the other day for first time. They require picture of face and ID. In the privacy policy it states that the picture they take of you will be used as biometric ID and retained for future use. Also, they can give to other agencies as requested.

Have 7.6kw Tesla system + 2 x Powerwalls.
Bought before I was mining and it is sized to cover close to 100% of my home electric use (without mining).
I now run up to 3x Whatsminers, so approx 9kw.
The mining use absolutely dwarfs home use and solar production, but solar still offsets. It is grid tied, so all flows where needed, as needed.
My biggest help from the system comes from the TOS billing here in Las Vegas, where in summer from 1-7 pm rates go 8x. I use automations to shut down my miners during this time as well as A/C. Then my house runs off batteries and I sell my solar to grid at about $0.32/kw for those 6 hrs.
Because I use this optional rate plan I also benefit from much cheaper rates during off peak hours.

You’re right, nothing to do with guns.
It’s about decentralizing power and control.
Decentralized military power (guns happen to be highest tech weapon) protects us from tyranny by force.
Decentralized monetary system protects us from centralized control of monetary system.
Both bring balance of power into the hands of the many.

Bitcoin mining is synonymous with the right to bear arms. It is a decentralization of power. Tyranny cannot oppress an armed population.
Bitcoin mining is a call to arms. It is why mining must be decentralized.
Power must be held in the hands of the many for freedom to survive.
