Myself and Elon Musk have a combined net worth of more than $1 trillion. It's tough but someone has to do it.

The official AtlasPool Edition BitForge Nano is available for sale! This miner captures the branding and spirit of AtlasPool: - a cyan-colored metal siding, representative of the cyan color on the AtlasPool website - A figurine of Atlas holding the globe on his back inside of the miner (behind the glass window) - The AtlasPool logo and name laser-inscribed on the glass - The AtlasPool logo etched on the top of the metal case AtlasPool info on the metal bottom - A unique number (1..21) inscribed on the top of the metal case. Only 21 made in this series. I have units 4-10 (#1-3 already sold) and will ship from the US. @TheSoloMiningCo has units 11-21 (#21 sold) and will ship from UK. Please DM me if you want to purchase from me, shipped from US. Please purchase from SoloMiningCo from their storefront web site to purchase from them, shipped from UK. I recommend that all people within USA purchase from me and outside of North America purchase from the storefront.

All made with the superb @PowerMiningFarm NerdQAxe units.
Big shout to the @TheSoloMiningCo for getting these NerdQaxe Rev6.1 Halo edition. Love the metal frame and feels a solid build. All hashing away got to be in it to win it 💲🤙🏻 or to mention the Ghost of Satoshi

My BitForge Ghost Edition from @TheSoloMiningCo arrived and it’s insane!🏆 This version has a metal case, giving a miner like this a premium feel compared to 3D-printed cases🚀 Now, while working on #MinerWatch, I’ll just glance at the shelf on my left to see Satoshi’s statue🏴‍☠️

Remember to adopt the local customs when visiting Prague... If you see me without a smile in Prague, it's because I'm smiling.

I think it’s rather nice. The new NerdQAxe Black Edition Rev 6.1.2 — built around @PowerMiningFarm’s NerdQAxe and refined by yours truly, I Am GPIO. Sitting at a solid 6.1 TH/s, with the BitHalo LED board, remote-controlled lighting, rear power entry, rear fan, and a limited-edition custom metal stand designed by me. thesolomining.co/shop/produc…

Have to say I love my nerdQaxe rev 6.1 halo. Need to unpack the other 3 when ready

I would recommend you all Give @BitcoinBeatPod a follow. The two chaps behind it, @theDAHTcom and @Jeffreytief, are genuinely fantastic blokes — as we say here in the UK! I’m really pleased I met them at BTC Vegas. Great energy, great attention to detail, and they clearly care about what they’re building. Well worth a watch.

👻 THE GHOST HAS ARRIVED 👻 Silent. Deadly. Beautiful. Meet the BitForge Nano Ghost Edition; a sexy, stealthy Bitcoin miner with zero noise, built by a cypherpunk for the plebs. Watch the clip. You NEED this on your desk. Who’s ghosting the pools with @TheSoloMiningCo ?
What if the future of Bitcoin mining isn't another billion-dollar mining facility... What if it's sitting on your desk? Most people assume Bitcoin mining has become a game reserved for industrial operators with massive budgets, cheap energy, and warehouses full of ASICs. Our latest guest @TheSoloMiningCo challenges that assumption. In this episode of The Bitcoin Beat, @theDAHTcom and I sit down with "I Am GPIO" (Duncan), founder of The Solo Mining Co, to discuss why home mining still matters, why individuals should care about participating in Bitcoin's infrastructure, and how thoughtful design is helping bring mining back into the home. This episode is jam packed with Alpha from a true Bitcoin OG. Duncan has been involved with Bitcoin since 2011 and has spent years building mining hardware that challenges the idea that mining must be loud, ugly, and hidden away in a garage. We discuss: ⚡ Why people solo mine even when the odds seem impossible ⚡ Whether home miners can still compete in a world of industrial-scale operations ⚡ The role of open-source hardware in Bitcoin's future ⚡ Why decentralization requires participation, not spectators ⚡ What the next generation of home mining could look like Beyond the Bitcoin and mining discussion, Duncan is genuinely good and funny guy. We spent as much time laughing as we did talking shop, which made this one of the most enjoyable conversations we've had on The Bitcoin Beat. Link to the full episode in the post below 👇

Had the pleasure of meeting these guys in Vegas this year and it was great to have a fantastic chat with them on their podcast this evening. Thanks for having me and I'm really looking forward to seeing y'all again soon! @BitcoinBeatPod
📌One of the biggest mistakes we make when orange pilling people is starting with what Bitcoin means to us instead of what matters to them. We lead with hard money, fixed supply, self-custody, and permissionless transactions. But if you're talking to a merchant, especially one using Square, maybe the better opening question is: "Oh Square? Are you using their new payment rails with no fees?" 💡Start with their problem. Start with their incentives. People don't adopt Bitcoin because it solves your problems. They adopt Bitcoin because it solves theirs. Shout out to people like @CHODL who bring this topic up every day, and people like @AndrewTilmann, @TheSoloMiningCo and @SatWiseJanx, who put this into action. 🎯 View the full episode with @BitcoinBeatPod and @Jeffreytief in the comment below👇
