Here is a compilation of all my favorite mining notes from the last year. I guess use Bitcoin miners in almost every way I can think of.

Cooking hash-vide style rabbit ramen with Bitcoin mining hot water heater
image image
The second meal cooked in the Bitcoin mining hot water heater is rabbit ramen soup. Rabbit grown and harvested right here at the homestead, along with these other ingredients from the homestead rabbit stock, garlic, and finally golden oyster mushrooms dehydrated with a Bitcoin miner. Soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon, sesame oil, Japanese seven spice, salt, pepper, butter.

All ingredients went into a silicone bag and submerged in the hot canola oil tank of the bitcoin mining hot water heater for 3 days. Hard to beat mining Bitcoin, heating water, and cooking food all at the same time. I can get the water up to 150f out of the tap with only 1500w of power consumption for the total system, miner, pumps, and all!

Another super cool aspect of this mining setup is that it runs on 110v power instead of 220v. Not having access to a 220v circuit is often a limiting factor for pleb miners, especially when these sorts of applications don't always require so much power. By modifying the apw12 PSU and making a custom power cord, now I can plug the miner into an existing 110v circuit. It cost less than $20 to do the modification on the PSU plus using a modified apw12 vs a Loki + apw3++ allows for voltage attenuation and higher total power output.

Heard @Rob Warren mention taking a permaculture approach to Bitcoin mining on the latest @TFTC (News Bot) with @Marty Bent and @parkerlewisb (is he not on Nostr?). The basic result of applying permaculture to Bitcoin mining is that multiple systems overlap each offering unique yeilds. The Bitcoin yield is often a byproduct of the specialization of the system. The more I integrated the systems are better they are at building capital. Would be happy to discuss the intersection of permaculture and Bitcoin mining on the show sometime. I've been able to integrate Bitcoin mining into almost every system requiring electric heat at my homestead - drying laundry, heating water/cooking food, producing maple syrup, food/medicine dehydration, growing plants, warming hypothermic animals, excess solar power, evaporating liquid in compost toilet. All are built with found and off the shelf components and materials, making this style of mining very accessible to the pleb. Mining Bitcoin is how I buy Bitcoin, hard to beat DCA kyc free sats that also does all kinds of valuable work simultaneously.
