The cost of software is going to 0 and it's more expensive to have US industrial equipment serviced than to buy new from China.

This is much easier if you use pm2 to run the pool as the readme suggests.

IMO even at two orders of magnitude it would still be quite effective. A few sats per post would also achieve the same thing

2024-09-23 05:02:28 UTC

Why don't relays require proof of work to post content? Seems logical.

This was pertaining to Primal, not nostr.... I checked it out based on your recommendation.

2024-08-27 16:40:35 UTC

Applied for an opensats grant to expand Bitaxe manufacturing. Can anyone poke @nprofile…fq9k or @nprofile…hj2c to review it a little sooner than 3 months? 😅 It's a little bit time sensitive.

2024-08-27 02:46:05 UTC

Yikes, read the ToS and wallet requirements for @npub12vk…pugg. @npub1qny…95gx I thought you were against the KYC of Twitter. Clearly trying to match my identity to npub.

Are you really a nostr pleb if you don't host your own stratum server?

2024-07-12 19:43:10 UTC

Public-Pool now has a Windows desktop application for self hosting!
If you'd like to help me test this, download the installer and check out the README.
https://github.com/benjamin-wilson/public-pool-app/releases/tag/1.0.0
All you need is your own bitcoin node.
MacOS and Linux distributions will come later.

Sorry to hear you had issues, there was a change to the fan behavior in 2.1.7 which caused this issue. I will fix it ASAP, look for the next release.

The old firmware did not display the rejected shares properly. Also note there's a restart bug in 2.1.4+ which will be fixed soon.

2024-05-30 02:03:11 UTC

- reply

Rejected shares is work that was submitted to the pool that was not accepted. Usually when a new block comes in before the miner is notified, making it 'stale'.

That'd be up to them to support it, it's already on umbrel and citadel and should work just about anywhere

Means either
1. The block template generation and propagation is very slow
or
2. They have optimized more than others to not mine stale blocks.

2023-12-17 14:12:48 UTC

- reply

When you self host, yes block templates come from your node. Not sure what you mean by 'as well as others'

2023-12-16 21:25:06 UTC

- reply

You'd have to find a whole block. V2 doesn't change the ability of the pool to censor transactions

2023-12-16 06:07:59 UTC

- reply

V2 is somewhat unnecessary if you're mining to your own node, which is the intend use case

Raspiblitz isn't a docker focused platform so they could do either or. Been using it for a few years now. Would love if someone added it.

2023-12-15 02:29:51 UTC

- reply

If you haven't already, check out Seth for privacy, he did a bunch of docker work on top of what's already there. I'm not much of a doctor person myself, but I welcome the contributions. I'd love to get it on runcitadel and umbreal.

2023-12-15 02:28:01 UTC

- reply

I would but the problem is I'd like to avoid any custodial features if possible. First step to any of it is adding multiple payouts to the coinbase and or keeping track of contributions amongst a group of people. This shouldn't be too hard. I've just been busy making bit axes and optimizing for more solo clients. Best way to reach me is on the OSMU discord. https://discord.com/invite/GKu9nFvu

'Follows' key is following. I don't think you can see who follows you as it's (their) client side?

2022-12-20 20:47:51 UTC

I found out today follows are client side... Currently using astral.ninja and you can see all your local data including follows in the chrome dev tools. Go to application, local storage, astrial.ninja. There you can grab config, keys, follows and relays.

2022-12-20 20:42:46 UTC

- reply

IMO a public key self destruction would be nice too. Sign a message and the relays delete/filter out any messages from there on out. Might come in handy if your private key is compromised or some other scenario.
