We’re shipping the last transparent @blockstream Jades today. Looks like we had a “bankrun” on our transparent stock. Don’t worry, we still have black ones available. Stay sovereign out there and be your own bank!

PSU fans are louder than I expected. Anyone have a solution?

GM PV keep on building your plebhash. Bear market building for the win!

You plebminers see? This one comes new out of the box. Always double check the fan direction! Bottom outflow was installed in the wrong direction. Coming straight out of seal from bitmain factory. This is an Antminer S19JPro 104 TH/s fyi.

GM PV It has been ten years since I physically ran these big machines. Now I’m running tiny machines.

Local butcher has a new payment terminal, because the new bank cards only work with the newer machines. Cost of payment terminal €999,- a monthly service fee he didn’t know from the top of his head. €0,07 per transaction. He said he can’t wait for all customers to pay in bitcoin. Would save him a holiday per year… additionally bank costs of €0,11 per outgoing transaction and monthly bank fee. He also complained about the water treatment bill which went up 35% for this year. Curious which retailers will survive the upcoming years.

GM PV bright sun this morning

Gm Pv is there anyway we could be able to make tor fast?

Just added two more bitcoin books (Dutch translations) to our webshop. Layered money by Nik Bhatia and the fiat standard by saifedean ammous. Check our book section to see which Dutch translations are available:

Boeken – Bitcoin Brabant

First book order via bol (Dutch Amazon) came in. It’s cheaper to order the books directly via our website. Bol takes 12,3%, plus €1,80. Than the VAT of 21% and shipping of €6,95 have to be deducted of the total price. Plus we have to pay 49% income tax over our profit, if we would make profit 😂. Breaking down this book “the price of tomorrow” by #[0] €26,99 on platform bol €4,68 VAT tax €5,20 Bol platform fees €6,95 Shipping cost €1,20 packing and delivery to post office Total left: €8,96 Cost to buy book €17,99 Loss €9,03 The price of tomorrow is going higher… The issue is that tax and platform fees are percentages, so you have to up it to €39,84 to break even. It’s completely insane.

GM PV. Yesterday went to the bitcoincity Arnhem meetup. A nice small group with a few new faces. It’s so nice to hear the path of change in worldview through exploring the bitcoin rabbit hole. It’s really a common denominator among bitcoiners. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Discussed self sovereignty through passphrase and multisig. Mining business cases and their variable inputs. Lightning wallet development with breez sdk. A lawsuit with the Dutch central bank. So many amazing topics.

Just emptied the custodial lightning bluewallet, total transaction cost 20329 sats. That’s quite a fee…
