Been enjoying Jeff Booths recent interviews …

That Jack Mallers speech from BTC Prague is spectacular. #btc #jackmallers #prague #keynote

So I’m at the beach and I’m thinking it seems like people on Nostr haven’t been zapping posts so much lately. Not just mine ( admittedly they’ve been less interesting and fewer lately) but with people I follow. I feel connected to Nostr in a way that I’m just not on other social networks. Tryna get my zap levels up - so post some cool stuff 😉 I’ll try to respond. Always ready for a zapathon to break out 🤪 #nostr #zapathon #zaplevel #letsgo #introductions

Got the ductwork in place today 😀 The fan is pushing cool air from downstairs thru the HVAC to the upper floors - and it’s working well I’ve got a Loki Urlacher S19K Pro and some 3D printed fan shrouds on the way for September. Some noise dampening and a filter yet to go. #mineforheat #diy #bitcoin #hvac #cooling #fan

Because of money laundering, seizing bank accounts, assets and debanking practices; Canada enjoys an unusual reputation in the bitcoin world. The take away; do not leave your bitcoin on an exchange #notyourkeys #exchange #grownostr #canada #btc #uphold

We’ve all seen posts calling for this interview, usually with a photoshopped tweet and a bitcoin logo- this is somewhat different in that Saylor did actually just comment on a JREs post. #joerogan #michaelsaylor #verify #grownostr #introductions

performative virtue signaling - that’s one of issues that I think Nostr helps solve. How much would you zap to signal something you don’t genuinely support? Not much I suspect. Compared that to voting with Sats. ⚡️ #zapathon #zap #grownostr #virtue #nostr

So …. Yeh. I spend most of last night deep diving into smart home automation. #smartthings vs #homeassistant One looks slick simple and easy … The other is open sourced 🤔 #Nostr peeps - what do you use? I want it mainly for switch, plug and breaker control, some power monitoring. Nice to kill some phantom power from tv boxes etc when they’re on off / standby. #smarthome #automation #mineforheat

1 Loki Urlacher Antminer S19K Pro on the way-! I decided to get the miner - by September I’ll have customized it further and spliced it into the house HVAC There are a few approaches to accomplishing this - but I’ll get it hashing while I finalize the plan. #mine4heat #diy #mining #grownostr

This recent ATH has been interesting for me in that I had recently ‘Orange Pilled’ a small group of friends over the winter. I had been encouraging friends and fam but I decided to host a few dinner party type sessions with some hand outs. I on-boarded everyone with Shakepay and showed them how to send it to a Tangem wallet. I answered a lot of seemingly simple questions. I started posting memes, news and updates in a private chat for the group. They all rode out the dip with laughter and diamond hands memes - watched inspiring video clips and tried to make sense of an avalanche of news snippets regarding BTC. Now They’re setting fees on transactions and consolidating UTXOs and talking about the cycles, halving, and curious about mining for heat Being people along with you on your bitcoin journey. #grownostr #bitcoin #introductions #stacksats #relax

I think I’ll install a Loki Urlacher S19K miner into the house HVAC …. been thinking of it for some time now. The math is good - and it’d be nice to have it ready for September #mineforheat #bitcoin

Got to 500 on my ShakePay streak on bitcoin pizza day.

Happy ATH Everyone ☝️

Back on the grind 😉 Family life’ll keep you busy and it’s easy to procrastinate. This one is prolly more than half done now. #proofofwork #painting #progress #artstr #grownostr #paintstr #fineart #art #studio #themarkpenney

This smart thermostat helped me save 30% controlling the same electric furnace more efficiently. Thermometer Stats: Average inside 20.9°C Average outside 10.2°C HVAC runtime Last April: 37 Hrs. (34% less with the smart thermostat ) This April : 17 Hrs. (46% less adding the heaters) Adding 3 Canaan Nanos meant the furnace ran 22% less The power bill is about the same and the Sats the Nanos made got stacked. This makes sense to me given our climate and our interests in bitcoin. I need the heat, I want the sats. #nano #ecobee #bitcoin #homeimprovement #heat #mine #canaan #dyi

Proof of Workout The first 20 minutes are warmup, the next 20 are workout, the last 20 basically double your output. I’ve been recovering from an injury and the progress is very welcomed.

Proof of work Swapped out the sconces at the front of the house … I reduced the power draw by 75%, lit the area better and used a fitting that looks and works better. #grownostr #proofofwork #dyi #upgrade

Proof of Pruning Lots of work pruning back these trees. They’d been left for years. 2 are plum trees with really tasty plums. After a big pruning whereby I took down 1/2 of each tree, they’ve come back strong. I think it’s a crab apple tree? Next to them got another hatchet job and clean up and I took out a scrappy maple to make space #proofofwork #grownostr #yardwork

Some low fees rn, nice time to consolidate those UTXOs. 😉
