Thank you @osmu_global for the appreciation of my work and the generous donation! 🤗🥰 Perfectly timed for the (many 🥴) ASICs for the #0xAxe. Everything I learned from the #Flex4Axe, #QAxe, ... went into this. Let's hope it works 🤞Target is 7.2TH/s with 200W and TR4/SP3 cooler
OSMU member pmaxuw has been making incredible progress on a QUAD BM1366-based open source miner. This thing is seriously rad.
If you're interested in more open source #Bitcoin mining radness, you should check out the OSMU Discord; invite link on bitaxe.org
A decentralized #Bitcoin is a Bitcoin where miners decide what goes in blocks, not pools.
OCEAN's ultimate goal is to make this a reality, and today we take one step closer to our vision of decentralized block template construction.
Available immediately, OCEAN is offering 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, giving miners control over what blocks they are mining.
The three options are:
1) OCEAN Recommended (most real financial transactions and least spam)
2) Bitcoin Core with the “Ordisrespector” spam filter
3) Unmodified Bitcoin Core (same as other pools with fewest financial transactions and most spam)
OCEAN will continue its 0% promotional pool fee for options 1 & 2 while there will be a competitive pool fee of 2% for option 3.
Our fees are structured to incentivize miners to make choices that benefit the Bitcoin network in the long term.
Suggestions for more templates? Let us know at mining@ocean.xyz.
.@johnny9dev’s efforts to improve the Bitcoin Core App project is also receiving support. Through this work, he hopes to lower technical barriers and make Bitcoin transactions more accessible to a wider audience, starting with users on Android devices.

Bitcrane v1 had a couple small HW bugs. Fixed those in v2 and added two more hashboard connectors!
Switched to all 0805 passives for easier assembly.

Super excited to announce the next major release of esp-miner, the #bitaxe firmware! OTA updates, configuration over WiFi or API and more!
Absolutely amazing work by @johnny9dev@Public_Pool_BTC and the rest of the OSMU crew!!

Hey guys, thanks for the #bitaxe shout out!
The bitaxe is a complete open source ASIC Bitcoin miner. Not just the control board 😜
Just power the bitaxe up with 5V, connect it to WiFi, set a pool address and you’re mining at about a half TH/s
Manufacturers of Bitcoin micro miners like @BitMaker and @skot9000 admit that while their devices may not bring in the big bucks, it's a tool to fight the "secrecy and exclusivity" of the Bitcoin mining industry. cointelegraph.com/news/cheap…
#bitaxe dev @johnny9dev pointed this out to me yesterday, and I think it sums up the motivation nicely;
"#bitcoin mining machines are arguably the most important piece of hardware in the bitcoin ecosystem, and yet their design is a secret"
