This is Nick Szabo. He’s a cryptocurrency legend who some people believe is Satoshi Nakamoto. But I'd never heard of him until he broke a 5 year Twitter silence last month. So I spent hours digging into his incredible story. Here's 7 reasons he’s a bitcoin legend:

We’re giving away $1,000 every month to the top Braiins Hashpower solo miners. Want a chance to be one of June’s winners? To qualify, rent hashrate through Braiins Hashpower and mine on Braiins Solo pool, or grab a Try Your Luck package. Your share with the highest difficulty across the period gets ranked. The three best shares each month will receive the prize. A lucky user even mined block #938,092, collecting the juicy 3.125 BTC block reward after renting just $75 of hashrate. Happy block hunting 🍀

We share a lot about how miners can mine more bitcoin with the Braiins stack ⚡️ But bitcoin’s value also depends on how it’s used after it’s mined. So we sent our CMO to El Salvador’s Bitcoin Beach to see how tourists, locals, and merchants actually use bitcoin on the ground.

A few more epochs and this will be the longest stretch of network hashrate below its ATH since 2011, when hashrate dropped by 40%. Right now hashrate is only 11% below ATH, but given the current price action, some of it will very likely drop off too.

UPGRADE: Braiins OS 26.06 is live 💥 Smoother tuning in the heat, new hardware support, and better visibility into your miners. 1️⃣ Continuous Tuner improvements • Reacts instantly to rapid temperature swings for smoother operation • Holds a more stable hashrate in high-temp environments • Better filtering from chip temp sensors means fewer pauses 2️⃣ New hardware support • Antminer S21e Hyd. hashboard variant H6HB70802 • Antminer S21 XP Hyd. variant H6HB70502 (LM75A temp sensor) 3️⃣ More accurate chip temperature readings. Improved sensor filtering gives you cleaner data and cuts down on unnecessary pauses. 4️⃣ Better visibility in logs and GUI. PIC/no-PIC identification now shows in the GUI, bosminer logs include API calls made to the miner, and PSU serial numbers appear in the logs. 5️⃣ Braiins Mini Miner 101: fixed the IP report button performance on the BMM101. 🟣 Get Braiins OS today Download from our website and one-click deploy across your entire fleet. 🟣 Need help?

Congratulations to @Braiins on another solo block using ckpool. mempool.space/block/00000000…

If I understood bitcoin mining, anybody can. That’s why I wrote this book. Happy to share that it’s now: • Available on Amazon, Prime delivery • FREE ebooks 🇺🇸🇨🇿🇨🇳 • FREE audiobook YouTube & Spotify • Next up: 🇩🇪 Links in comments 👇 And is it worth it? Don’t take my word for it. Listen to MARA mastermind Lindsey Daley: “This book takes you from zero to mining hero. Clear, funny, and practical, it makes the world of bitcoin finally click.” Lindsey is smart. Be like Lindsey and read my book 😁

Stranded energy bottlenecks African development, leaving massive amounts of generated power wasted due to grid limitations. Bitcoin mining fixes this mismatch. As a flexible, location-agnostic load, it monetizes excess electricity directly at the source—turning waste into an asset. In my new Bitcoin in Africa series, I break down how mining is restructuring grid economics across the continent. Watch here...👇

Time for a hash employer update. 🧵 TL;DR: I have been employing hashers through Braiins Hashpower since 3/21/26, a little over two months. During that time I have spent 丰24,901,768 on hash and have received 丰23,723,143 in non-KYC bitcoin giving me a return of 95.27%.

Will be good time to sell if you are still on this train.

So what is the limit my @umbrel Home can handle? 7 PH/s pointed at it now. No errors in the logs, all status 200 for work. Rejected shares on @braiins hashpower still show low, .08%. CPU is running 48c-53c, so slightly higher than before. I did tweak the node. So maybe 10 PH/s? Watch me break something. 🙃

New Lightning milestone reached ⚡️ We’ve been around the block: • Running nonstop since 2010 • Stratum V2 since 2020 • 1.3M bitcoin mined Now processing 2k instant, zero-fee mining payouts per day.

NEW: Bitcoin mining firm Braiins has acquired CFTC-registered commodity asset manager CAMMS Capital. The deal brings together 15 years of Bitcoin mining experience with decades of commodity risk management expertise. Braiins says Bitcoin, hashrate, and energy should be treated as digital commodities, with hedging and financial tools similar to those used in oil, gas, and grain markets. The company plans to build commodity-grade risk management tools tailored specifically for Bitcoin and energy markets.

CAMMS Capital is live. Backed by @Braiins. We spent five years trading commodities inside ETG. Now we're launching as an independent company, CFTC-registered and NFA member. Built inside ETG, a global commodity conglomerate with expertise across multiple industries, we developed and traded a multi-strategy commodity platform before spinning out. Our research partnership with ETG continues, giving us a direct window into supply chains, trade flows, and fundamental market drivers. Today, we're launching as CAMMS Capital, acquired by Braiins and rebranded from CAM Multi-Strat Asset Management LLC. We trade across agriculture, energy, metals, freight, and macro through three approaches: discretionary (driven by physical market intelligence and ETG research), hybrid (quantitative and fundamental, regime-adaptive), and systematic (fully rules-based). The founding team remains in place, incentives aligned: → @StephaneCAMMS, CEO. 32 years at Louis Dreyfus, InVivo, ETG. → Salim Boutaleb, CIO and Head of Quantitative Trading. 15 years in systematic commodity strategies. → Rafael Molinero, COO. 28 years in the hedge fund industry, Chicago Booth MBA. 75 years of combined commodity experience. Building diversified commodity exposure means sourcing multiple specialist traders and running a risk framework across them. We do that work, drawing on decades of relationships and market access, so one allocation gives you exposure across 30 commodity markets. Institutional infrastructure from day one. KPMG audit, Northern Trust custody, SS&C administration, StoneX and Marex as prime brokers. Commodity Intelligence, Amplified. Welcome to CAMMS Capital.

I literally stole the show in Vegas 2026. Including a PRO ticket from Bitmain. Thank you very much 😄 Great seeing everyone! Hope to catch up with those I missed soon at BTC Prague and Mining Disrupt.

After five years I am breakeven on my $RIOT shares. What do you say? Keep for another five years or get out ASAP?

"With 1% in BTC, expected return goes up and overall risk stays about the same. This is what our new study shows." - Governor of the Czech National Bank
