What an insane moment…I have been struggling to compose my thoughts all day, but all I can say is freedom is winning and will win.
Bitcoin won’t be co-opted by centralized forces, the individual has and will continue to have the same amount of power.
A decade of work was just validated today, and we stand on the shoulders of titans that deserve the credit even more.
Everyone at FutureBit, all the open source devs, @npub1q0k…7wtf and many others.

Thanks! Reliability is what we strive for! There is a cost for it but ends up being worth it in the long run…

The revolution wont be televised, the influencers wont talk about it, no one will report it...it's just the silent majority of plebs running nodes, and solo mining at home.
It's the consequence of not selling out, not having paid shills, not paying to play, but I remain free.
While everyone is distracted by things that dont matter, we are building a true decentralized #bitcoin network when everyone else forgot about it for NGU.
At first it will just be a trickle, a solo block here and there, but soon it will be an unstoppable torrent...
Thanks to you and everyone else that is really putting the Proof of Work in PoW...
The revolution will be live 🫡

What a dark day in the history of Bitcoin…first it’s the privacy mixers, next it will be the self custody wallets, then it will be the sovereign nodes and miners.
We warned you…continue to support the corporate and government proxies in Bitcoin and this is what you will get.
It’s war time…if you value anything in Bitcoin self custody, run a node, and mine…these are the bare MINIMUM
Stop funding ETFs, buying mining stocks, and anything else with central government control over them otherwise you are feeding the machine that enables what happened today..

Whoever thinks what marathon is doing is not an issue does not understand how fragile censorship at the mempool level is, nor can they see two feet in front of them…..this will be a day people look back on the same way people are looking back at blockfi/ftx and wondering how tf anyone subscribed to that narrative…

2024-02-13 23:43:18 UTC

Time to win the hearts and minds of the next generation.
Need them to understand the real revolution Bitcoin provides, not these half baked grifters and wall st greed that is currently occupying the space.
They will be the generation that finally puts the nail in the coffin for wall st and the destruction they have sowed in society...
We will win

First testnet Solo block found by a production Apollo II running on our integrated node with a stratum solo pool on top of it! Probably the first block in a long time found by a fully vertically integrated system…can’t wait for what the future holds

Completely different products and no way to compare them, one is a 3000 watt super loud server machine that needs 220v or higher to run and the other is designed from the ground up to run on your desktop with less than 400 watts of power…

You have the option of solo mining or connect to a normal pool, in which case it will mine about 2000 satoshi a day at current difficulty

Depends which miner you are talking about, but from our previous gen it’s a pretty big leap in performance (about 4x hashrate and 2x efficiency)

Dropping this here first!
"We are excited to launch FutureBit Grants, with our first recipient being Con Kolivas #[0] . Con has been instrumental in developing cgminer, ckpool, and propagating the stratum protocol, all of which have been the backbone of the Bitcoin mining infrastructure for the past decade. His open-source work has been co-opted into closed-source software used by large ASIC manufacturers and their pools, enabling them to make billions in profits with little credit to him and even less returned to the Bitcoin FOSS community to enable more decentralized mining solutions.
This changes today, and we are happy to contribute to work that will modernize the open-source ckpool. It will be deployed to all Apollo BTC units in the future, enabling every Apollo user to be their own stratum pool and solo mine to their own node. This will also be deployable to any small farm operator who wants to mine to their node and avoid centralized pools. We plan to continue investing in this space and enable R&D for additional decentralized pool protocols to ensure that Bitcoin's power remains squarely in the hands of the people."

Yea NIP5 does not make sense for people that don’t own domains which is a large share of the public…whoever solves a decentralized identity protocol that anyone can use and does not involve scanning your eyeballs will have something big
