For those of you running a Bitaxe, what's your best difficulty so far? After a few hours I got a 6.52M.

I understand why one would do solomining with a bitaxe, If a Bitaxe costs about $150, and you can make about 2-3 cents of bitcoin per day. Than it would take about 14 years without difficulty change to make your money back (i.e. will never pay for itself). Vs.. lottery ticket + more decentralization + big pay day + fun. Am I wrong?

Crazy to think, if you had 1 bitaxe in it's current form in 2017, you'd of had more hashrate than the entire network at the time.

Anyone with good experience with meshtastic want to help @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL have an amazing meshing time?

two of the primary food groups, parmesan cheese and brisket.

pretty sure a major food group is parmesan cheese

It is very concerning how hard it is for people to get travel visa's to come to @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL. It's also concerning how many non Americans I met that don't want to travel to the US even if they could get a travel visa because of safety and security. My eyes have been opened this year on just how bad this is. If this doesn't eventually get better I'm going to have rethink a few things about TABConf.

Parmesan is the best cheese.

We have 141 contributors to bitcoin core in roughly the last 12ish months for github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin going back to v24.1 I just realized I'm denoted as one of them on the 26 release. 😅 Many like me may only have trivial commits, but it's still pretty cool to be associated along some very talented people. 26 contributors are active on 3+ releases in the 12 months. I'm planning an award ceremony at @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL this year to help bring to light some of the hard work done behind the scenes for Bitcoin and related projects. Starting the tradition this year.

Let's try to see if I can put Nostr to work: I'll send sats to every valid suggestion. If you were giving out 3 awards for bitcoin that were technical in nature, which categories would you come up with? Bonus sats if you come up with 4 candidates for your proposed achievement categories.

I would really like for a bunch of hardcore nostr hackers to come to TABConf this year, please spread the word, and show some love give a follow to our TABConf account. @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL

Inevitability needs action to become reality. Don't sit on your hands and do nothing, come build the future you want to see. October 23-26, we will have a focused builders conference in Atlanta GA. please don't make an arbitrary excuse not to come. We also have a grant program for those who need it.

@npub15wak...2evu Get tickets, and plan your trip this weekend.

there are some bitcoin devs that have are consistent af with their contributions

1. Miniscript is pretty amazing. 2. I want you and me to start working more with Taproot. 3. I want to start working more on Nostr. 4. Profit.

- Action over ego's. Come to learn, come to build. - Critical thinking and criticism towards Bitcoin. - Respect for people's time, no unsolicited pitches. - Chaotically fun and productive. - Decentralized organized in an opensource manner. - Affordable and all-inclusive access. - Newer achievers are brought to the forefront.
