Another amazing episode @preston!
It may not exist yet, but if anyone knows of a tutorial on how to use Datum to do your own solo mining please send my way.
Also - if you like this episode, also listen to @ODELL's parallel episode on @CITADEL DISPATCH
I recommend everyone do at least a tiny bit of solo mining (Bitaxe, Avalon Nano 3, old S9, whatever) so that when you see posts like this you get a dopamine hit while you go check to see if it was you.
Vanguard letting me buy MSTR, but not MSTX is almost on the same level as the SEC approving futures ETF’s, but not spot.
Will be transitioning all accounts and all my family members accounts over to Fidelity once most of my short term gains have turned into long term gains. I don’t trust them to not fuck up the transfer and create unnecessary taxes.
Just got my first miner, an Avalon Nano 3, plugged in and pointed at Solo CK pool and I’ve got to say, it’s pretty awesome.
Been doing math all afternoon and yes, statistically I’ll probably never find a block. Also statistically, at $0.15/kWh it’s about similar risk/reward to playing the power ball.
BUT…
On low or medium mode it is quiet enough that I could plug it in under my desk at the office and no one would even know it’s there 😏 $0.00/kWh baby. Better risk/reward than the power ball for sure.
Fantastic device to dip your toe in the water with. Learning a ton, supporting the decentralization of the network, and who knows, maybe I will find that block.
