Did you know?
DATUM Gateway aggregates your ASICs into a single connection to the pool, slashing bandwidth usage by 96% and virtually eliminating stale shares caused by internet latency to the pool.
That’s hashrate that could be earning you money instead of going to waste. It’s one reason OCEAN miners earn more. 🌊
I’ve been invited to give an introduction to Bitcoin to my son’s 8th grade class.
Does anyone have a favorite activity that helps the concepts click in about an hour?
Elementary schools embracing Bitcoin = bullish! 🚀

Catholic entrepreneur Tim Busch has opened a new Catholic chapel at one of his hotels in Arizona. His hotel chain now has four chapels, where Catholic priests can enjoy complimentary stays in exchange for celebrating daily Mass for hotel guests and staff.

A Tale of Two Town Halls this week in Europe.
One set ablaze by people who resent what others built.
The other filled with Bitcoiners celebrating human achievement and building a system that protects the value of human labor.

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Wrapping up a fantastic trip to Helsinki, where Bitcoin is alive and well. Heat recapture from mining may hold the most potential here of any alternative use case. Heating demand is huge, and I hope the utilities and regulators embrace this technology with open arms.
Thank you to Remu @btcbenchmark , @lukedewolf and the entire @btchelevent team for putting on an amazing conference. Maybe next year we add a Lapland excursion to the itinerary.
The Finnish people are incredibly welcoming. I also learned that North America has been doing saunas wrong. Throw real löyly on the rocks with a proper ladle, keep a cold plunge close by, and never, ever let it drop below 80°C.
After all the reindeer I ate, I'm a little worried about how Santa will get around this year. I'm sure they'll figure something out.
Ever wondered what half a million dollars looks like?
It’s a briefcase full of hundos. And it’s heavy!
This is the true cost of FPPS.
Take it back with OCEAN.

Sorry to see XBT becoming shittier and shittier by the day.
How can they possibly think of handicapping the miners by withholding their rewards for up to three epochs? It completely distorts the economics of miners and the value of the coin itself.
SV1 is a problem that does not seem to have a real solution. But I seriously don't think Alphapool will attack a good source of revenue "just for fun" as CGuida says, but now they will just abandon it as they are obviously not welcomed anymore.
So now XBT will be even more of a shitcoin as it will have even less proof of work backing it.
It is clear the XBT people don't fundamentally understand the role of mining in a decentralized currency and instead squirm in fear of it.
Very sad indeed.
