Cleaned up, fresh thermal pads and paste, and a set of new fans. This 6x1660super mining rig has paid for itself. The mining heat offset is bonus. #mining #mine4heat #home #paste image

She bought an old piano online just like the one she was taught to play on decades ago. It was too good of a deal to pass up. The problem was; after buying it , travelling to pick it up and bringing it home… it didn’t work. A handful of keys didn’t make noise, the speaker was distorted, the cover was stuck in the open position. She felt took. I spent the last couple of days figuring out how to fix it. I cleaned the rubber contact strip, reapplied conductive paint to the contacts. I unstuck the keys, cleaned and reassembled the works. The fuzzy speaker issue is t actually the speakers - it’s the capacitors on the amp board. Fortunately I had some amplified studio monitors to use in place of the tired output components It’s working fine - it sounds fantastic. My sweetie is gonna love playing her piano. Proof that sometimes you just gotta fix things. #repair #piano #diy #fix

Q: Are you the first in your family or friend group to get into Bitcoin? If not, how far down the chain are you (2nd, 3rd, etc.)? Have others you know irl been joining you on the journey? I’m curious about adoption network effects. In my case, video gamer friends from other countries (whom I’ve never met irl) convinced me to mine a little a few years back. It took a couple of years for me to actually take a serious look at bitcoin. A few of my family started after a 3-4 years of tolerating me poking. A few more this past couple of years A small cohort of friends joined in. Probably about a dozen have taken to bitcoin at my suggestion I field a lot of questions, a couple of times we’ve hosted on-boarding parties at my home. Most still think I’m crazy. Some are surprised to hear that I mine for heat. #bitcoin #adoption #orangepill #friends

Mine4Heat Update. I added a couple of receptacles on dedicated circuits for the miners. Installed some additional duct work Some tuning with the fan speeds. Updated billing plan with the power company for a flat rate. So far so good. image
