Thank you all! TELEHASH #4 is now complete.
No block during the livestream - but you can continue supporting the foundation with hash. Will make sure to read out supporters on POD256.

Amazing podcast with the one and only @keegreil
Hear his take on the issues around Bitcoin mining centralization and what he is doing to solve it with Gridpool on the latest episode of POD256:

During the Freedom Tech track at the 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum, @skot9000, a freedom tech engineer and contributor to the Bitaxe project, argues that the future of Bitcoin mining will look nothing like today. The current model, dominated by closed-source and proprietary machines built for on-grid industrial mining, is just one application, not the one that will last.
Through his work with the 256 Foundation, a nonprofit supporting solo Bitcoin mining, Skot is helping build open-source tools that let individuals participate in mining directly. That matters for freedom because mining is the physical layer of Bitcoin’s censorship resistance.

If you have a @Braiins mini miner, you’re about to have a Bitcoin miner that can play DOOM.
FOSS Mujina firmware from the @256FOUNDATION enables modification to your liking!
Awesome @unknown_aadhi
What do you think? Mining shares give more ammo?

@ElektronEnergy will be back for the next one. Would love to see more miners join us.
@256FOUNDATION is doing the work miners should want done keeping the mining stack open, permissionless, and harder to capture.
Supporting it should be obvious self-interest for anyone who mines Bitcoin.

TELEHASH #4 was our biggest yet.
No solo block was found, but the community connected a peak of 2.49 EH/s to Hydrapool and contributed ~30.81 ZH of total work over the 6.5-hour event.
Check out the top ten leaderboard!

What I'm loving most is the ability to run it as an operator and allow others to mine to your instance with PPLNS. It's perfect for solo miners getting together and combining hash.

Over 2.5 EH/s and 2200 unique workers pointed Hashrate to our 4th fundraiser. Thank you to all our contributors!
Stay tuned for TELEHASH #5 in January.
May 21
Two days ago, 256 Foundation (@256FOUNDATION) hosted their 4th “Telehash” fundraiser, where contributors point mining hash towards the organization’s pool—and test their luck at mining a block.
When blocks are mined successfully, the profits are used to fund 256 Foundation’s open-source mining projects—including fully open-source firmware, hash and control boards, pool software and more.
Want to support the 256 Foundation?
You can do it by pointing some of your hashrate to their pool, which is always up for ongoing contributions.
More info on how to do that here: dash.256f.org
You can also donate directly at 256foundation.org/donate

TELEHASH events are an excellent way to raise money to support important projects like @Op_Bitcoin and the @256FOUNDATION.
Energy donations!
Best part, the infrastructure (pool, dashboard) are open-source and available to all.
Make sure to tune in. Always fun!

MEMORIAL DAY TELEHASH • MAY 22-25
This Memorial Day weekend, Bitcoin miners from around the world are coming together to support military veterans through hashrate donation.
OPERATION BITCOIN is a veteran-run 501(c)(3) providing education in Bitcoin, energy, and freedom technology.
From industrial farms to the BitAxe on your kitchen counter every hash matters.
Point your miner:
stratum tcp://telehash.operationbitcoin.io:23334
Mine for the mission.
Support veteran education.

“The acceleration of growth and development in Bitcoin mining is going to go absolutely vertical.”
Could not be more bullish on the potential impacts of open-sourcing the mining tech stack for ALL miners, big and small🔥
Big thanks to @skot9000 @tylerkstevens @econoalchemist and the @256FOUNDATION for the incredible work you're doing to make mining development open for all!

MFTV #3: OPEN SOURCE MINING MATTERS | with @skot9000 of @256FOUNDATION
YouTube: youtu.be/kVvskW43moI
Bitcoin is, critically, an open-source project—with most of the development community building on Bitcoin in an open-source way.
If Bitcoin's codebase were not open-source, it would no longer be permissionless, trustless, or censorship resistant. Its position as "cypherpunk" money is firmly dependent on that fact that anyone can find, review and use its code.
The mining industry, however, typically operates with a different attitude. A small handful of companies make all Bitcoin miners—including chips, firmware, hardware, etc—with all information about how these machines work behind a heavily guarded wall.
In this episode of MFTV, @skot9000 creator of the first fully open-source ASIC (BitAxe) and boardmember of the @256FOUNDATION sits down with @isabelfoxenduke to share how the open-source mining revolution is growing—and why the mining industry is poised for "absolutely vertical growth" as its tech stack opens up for the world to build on.

The Bitcoin mining community came together yesterday and, though we didn’t hit a block for @256FOUNDATION, fun was had, things were learned, and mining grew stronger across the miles 🧡⛏️

Relive the moment we clocked a 2 trillion difficulty share at 256Foundation's Telehash #4👇
Always fun to be to be punching above our weight on difficulty submitted relative to the massive (2.5 EH/s at some points) hashrate pooled together for the Telehash.
An congrats to @RiglyMining and @elektronenergy for their high difficulties!
Always a joy to support the amazing team at @256foundation. We'll see you for Telehash #5!

We ran Hydrapool yesterday for @256FOUNDATION 's telehash. Internally hydrapool uses @p2poolv2 's stratum and accounting libraries.
Hydrapool is rock solid! Check out the performance on an AMD EPYC 9R45 aws ec2 instance.
P2Poolv2 release coming soon too.
