I need a mentor

I recommend finding a local meetup. There is likely a miner in attendance and I'm willing to bet they have a S9 for you to rent/borrow.

How does the noise impact the goat?

It not loud at all because I have it dialed down to 500w. Just a gentle breeze of warm air. (It's a lamb by the way)

That is so freakin awesome

Where did you get that handle strap? 👀

Miner w/handle simply amazing

I just saw this posted on tw*tter and found you here. Love the application of the miner as a portable heater wherever needed.

Yes, Bitcoin miners are the most efficient electric heaters available!

Love the 3D printed handle for the miner.

Fabulious!

Bitcoin Mining Clothes Dryer Here at the homestead we host guests at our house as well as a 20ft yurt so one of the largest power usages is the electric clothes dryer. In the busy season, the dryer is usually running for several hours a day. It made a lot of sense to use a Bitcoin miner for the heat instead of the heating element in the dryer. https://imgur.com/eGKbv0G I tried to use what I already had as much as possible to connect the miner to the dryer, so for less than $100 I was able to make it work. Basically needed a 20a 220v breaker and 220v outlet plus some ductwork. I simply cut a hole in the heating duct in the back of the dryer and attached a 6in duct coupling to it. If I need to I can cap off the coupling and continue to use the dryer as normal. Basically if the Bitcoin miner breaks down I won't be stranded without a dryer. To operate, I set the dryer to timed dry, set the heat to air dry, and turn on the miner. After using it for a dozen loads or so it definitely works well. Next I will be working on how to reduce the noise from the miner fans but to start I wanted to make sure it was capable of drying laundry first. Feels good to get sats back for one one of the largest power usages on the homestead! #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #meshtadel #selfsovereignty #plebminer #homemining #bitcoinmining #bitcoin #doublespendenergy #hash2heat #mine4heat #stacksats #stackingfunctions View quoted note →

I love what you're doing here. I just started running a bitcoin node on Umbrel a couple of months ago, not too bad. question for you on the miner - do you get a decent return on bitcoin mining vs the power output to run the miners? I am thinking about bit coin mining myself, but read about bit coin miner pools, lots of compute, and obstacles to get started. you make it look easy and at home, that is appealing to me.

very cool idea, if you gonna make heat , make it with ASICs.. Maybe I should open a Bitcoin laundromat and let other people pay to run the ASICs.

This is AWESOME! I need to learn more about this. My office in the basement is always cold. I also need to find ways to keep my chicks warm in winter. Any suggestions on where to learn more?

I posting lots of notes about home mining, homesteading, and permaculture. View quoted note →

I've been making some small improvements to the bitcoin mining systems here at the homestead over the past couple weeks. Now that the last winter before the halving is approaching, I'm trying to prepare to make the most of it with the equipment I have. Once things slow down (and cool down) in November look for some more Bitcoin mining focused notes! #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #plebminer View quoted note →

This is super clever!

Heating the yurt with an S9 running on excess solar power There are no guests staying in the yurt today so I'm using it as an office to polish up my presentation for the SWMI bitcoin meetup tonight. The sun is shining and the batteries are charged so I plugged in my mobile S9 space heater to take the chill out of the air from the night before. Batteries at 27v, panels making 800w of power and the miner is set to 500w. Good for about 6 terahash of free heat directly into the yurt thanks to the sun. Doing my part to keep the network decentralized and transactions time stamped all while getting 500w of heat out of the deal. I also have a miner dehydrating squash seeds and simultaneously heating my house as well as a miner drying my laundry. Max hashing! #homesteading #permies #permaculture #selfsovereignty #meshtadel #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #plebminer #homemining #doublespendenergy #hash2heat #mine4heat View quoted note →

Beautiful !!

₿ULLISH AF

Amazing work!!

Probably this is why they say bitcoin is use for money laundering… 🤪

That's impressive. Very well done.

One year ago I recorded a podcast with @Ungovernable Misfits talking permaculture and bitcoin in general. This clip is a good summary of my high level thoughts on Permaculture and Bitcoin and was basically the ideal I was working towards throughout the year. View quoted note → The podcast as a whole provides a good reference point for a lot of what has happened on the homestead over the last year. I'm not sure why I thought to detail so many of my plans for the year, maybe hold myself accountable. All in all, I was able to accomplish almost everything I mentioned throughout the podcast in the last year. Take a listen and check out this year in review mega note. February was defined by maple syrup production, the threads aren't as cohesive as I was still learning Nostr and developing my style. View quoted note → March the highlight was working on the 20ft tiny house, still haven't quite figured out Nostr. View quoted note → April was marked the completion of the Bitcoin mining dehydrator, one of highlights of the whole year for the homestead. View quoted note → May was the sweet spot of sunlight and waning colder temperatures which lead to lots of pleb mining at the homestead. The solar power was flowing and the dehydrator was constantly loaded. The cold frame was growing cannabis and the portable S9 space heater was saving lambs from hypothermia. View quoted note → June the sheep were grazing the pasture at it's finest and the yurt was booked solid with guests View quoted note → July the bitcoin mining clothes dryer was completed in the peak of the summer tourist season. A project I have been thinking about and working towards for over 6 months. View quoted note → August I made my second appearance on the Bitcoin Rapidfire podcast talking about mining on the homestead. View quoted note → September the food forest ripening and cannabis colas were forming. View quoted note → View quoted note → October the sheep were finishing out the season strong making for some of our best lamb we've grown. View quoted note → November we rounded out a great year with the horses after finally realizing our goal of using them for carriage tours. View quoted note → December I spent spreading the word of the intersection of Bitcoin and Permaculture on the @Tokyo Citadel, @QW, and @Frog Talk 🐸 View quoted note →

What a wild year, it's been all that more amazing to share it with everyone on Nostr. Permaculture, Bitcoin, and Nostr is facilitating a new permanent culture in which we are all building together! #permaculture #permies #homesteading #bitcoin #meshtadel #bitcoinmining #plebminer #foodforest #weedstr #cannabis #rotationalgrazing #yurt #grownostr

Permaculture Bitcoin Mining Discussion tonight 8pm Eastern on Nostr Nests. For the March Permaculture Nest tonight, I'll be talking my approach to mining through the permaculture lense. I'll go over some principles of home mining and talk about some of the ways I'm using Bitcoin miners to do work for me. I would be happy to hear about other home mining setups as well as answer questions related to mining in general, home mining and permaculture. Keep an eye out for the link this evening #homesteading #permaculture #permies #meshtadel #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #homemining #plebminer #nostrnests View quoted note →

Ooh shit I’m joining when I get home

Been thinking about this. I've been in permaculture for around 15 years, Bitcoin for about 13. Properties with waterfalls or enough drop and flow for micro hydro are the target.
