ElectroThermal Design

A look under the hood of the latest Bitcoin Space Heater prototype for @UnBound256. This is an S19 based design, using two vanilla S19 hashboards and a APW9+ PSU. See assembly explosion animation💥 Lets talk numbers- preliminary test results are looking nice. See below 👇

The smartest guy in the world doesn’t understand money. Money is a good, not simply an abstraction of real things. You need money to facilitate trade in order to produce goods & services. Money is not an end in itself, it’s necessary to produce real things. Bitcoin is so early!

@start9labs Do you support @RemminaProject or any other self hosted RDP?

@btctwatterpants @Beef_Bootlegger 30.08

Got the next smoke meats today from @Beef_Bootlegger Scheduled for this weekend. We have 68.35 raw weight. Closest smoked weight guess without going over get a free sack of jerky. Price is right rules. Our US homies only. Cant ship across borders.

@btctwatterpants LFG

This was the closest to 26.47 lbs from what I saw in responses. I sent you a DM ElectroT

@ashtonforbes Retroactivity

There’s only one way to explain the Double Slit Experiment. Time is not linear.

@BobMcElrath @MrHodl Wouldn’t the idea be millions of users with 100k+ relays? Similar to BitTorrent, no one seeder is seeding all the data. Everyone does what little they can.

@MrHodl It isn't that expensive now, but...40k users. Imagine millions of users.

Nostr will be centralized around the relays. 104TB with only 40k users on Nostr.

@JoeCarlasare Is this sarcasm?

Another cool print. GDP still running above 2%. And cuts coming next week. Fed has stuck the soft landing.

@SenatorWicker Gross. You won’t be around in a decade, so what’s it to you if you help accelerate us towards WWIII, right? You people need to be stopped.

I am joining my Caucus co-chairs in calling on President Biden to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons. We need to remove the handcuffs and give Ukraine every advantage.

@brian_trollz @francispouliot_ Are you implying you believe roughly 6 million self custodial BTC is owned by the USG? That’s what it would take to have majority control of BTC supply. That would be one hell of a claim. Not that I don’t trust you (or Whitney) but I might need a little proof on that one.

@Electro_Thermal @francispouliot_ Now go look at ownership distribution of whats in self custody.

Funny, this is exactly the kind of nonsense a spook would disseminate.

@brian_trollz @francispouliot_ This is a confident claim she makes from her wildly thorough research. I’m 99% sure her citation on this one is the Just Trust me Bro Journal of Science

@francispouliot_ Her research is _wildly_ thorough.

@cryptodoj @SandySargon @_whitneywebb No. A 51% attack can censor certain transactions only when the attackers find the next block. 49% of the time an honest miner will find the block and the transaction will go through. Confirmation will take longer but the transactions won’t be blocked.

@SandySargon @_whitneywebb coincenter.org/education/key-… I think you need to study up on it, they can block all future transactions, which would be a small problem. I actually mined the first block of doge a long time ago and it was a concern

The biggest banks and a cadre of spooky currency speculators have funded and now control most of the infrastructure underlying Bitcoin (energy, chips, ISPs, + general crypto infrastructure), with the openly stated goal of having it be only an asset you don’t and can’t spend. The US government and this small elite faction hold most of the Bitcoin, and once their financial control grid is complete, inflate its price through the roof. As Catherine Austin Fitts has said of the elite’s plans: “once you steal everything, you want to move to a disflationary system.” These elites, who have a LOT of ties to the Epstein network, hold so much Bitcoin collectively and when currencies implode (which is something the currency speculators who back so much key crypto infrastructure have provably done in the past) pumping gold and silver, etc. instead would make too many other actors (incl other govts like China and Russia) very wealthy, while pumping Bitcoin will make only a specific, largely US-based cabal very wealthy. When they collapse currencies, they will buy up everything they didn’t manage to buy up during Covid and then install their new and beyond Orwellian financial surveillance grid in place, using Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The US government, Silicon Valley and Wall Street bankers – who have economically and sometimes militarily waged war against much of the world – are using Bitcoin for this and are buying up media influence to manufacture consent. As a consequence of the purchase of Bitcoin media, most bitcoiners, instead of being up in arms about it and putting momentum behind any potential workaround, are spending time shilling Tether and explaining away their overt partnership with the US National Security State, shills for dollarized debt posing as anti-state and anti-bank. UH's series The Chain, by myself and @markgoodw_in, has been exploring these issues and more, new installment (and the spiciest thus far) drops tomorrow.

@_whitneywebb “The US government and this small elite faction hold most of the Bitcoin” Can you prove this? Currently all the US ETFs, US public businesses, and US government hold about 10-15% of the available supply. Even adding all Coinbase custodial BTC only gets us to ~20%

@btctwatterpants 24.92 lbs

He we go closest smoked weight w/o going over gets a sack. 61.67 lbs Price is Right Style. New beef guy accepting BTC P2P. Same ranch source, beef. beefbootlegger.com He is working on POS for orders still. Reach out if you want to pay in SATs for now

@peterktodd @LN_Master_Hub I’m just saying I’m not sure you grasp the price per unit mass curve for space craft. It’s not a linear relationship. Price goes exponential fairly quickly, in response to modest increase in mass.

You need to actually run the numbers before dismissing this idea. A blackbody radiator, exposed to deep space, can dissipate about 700W/m² if the radiator is kept at 65°C. The chips in a S21 are about 10W each. So you could put roughly 70 of them on a 1m² panel, with one side exposed to deep space and the sun facing side mirrored, without overheating. Thus per S21 equivalent, you need 4.6m² of radiator. Remember that the chips can be distributed evenly on the surface of the radiator, so you don't need to move the heat very far – the optimal design may be one chip per panel. Or maybe even splitting up the load into even more chips, running at even lower power density. Obviously, that uses up a lot of area... But space is enormous. The idea is totally viable so long as you can design a way to package and deploy this. It's zero-G, so you can do all kinds of clever, low-mass, ideas that are impossible to do on earth. Creating a mining farm that is square kilometers in total area could very well be feasible. Don't be so quick to rule it out, just because you had a hard time on a satellite with _very_ different constraints.

Bitcoin miners in space might be closer than you think... this is _not_ good for Bitcoin. petertodd.org/2017/bitcoin-m…

@peterktodd @LN_Master_Hub So now you have to consider the mass of the miner itself as well as the oversized radiator.. a huge, expensive load. What’s the rationale for paying millions to send up a miner that produces thousands?

@peterktodd @LN_Master_Hub I’ve worked on cooling systems in cube sats. Clearly, every gram of mass matters. But it’s more than that. Obviously the heat needs to be radiated away. The more power dissipated the bigger the radiator. As the size of the radiator grows the cost to house it grows exponentially.

@peterktodd You give off major neo-con vibes, no offense

When I visited Odesa almost exactly two years ago, every single beach was closed. They were quite literally filled with landmines to prevent Russia from invading by sea. Now, after killing Russians by the thousands and blowing up billions of dollars worth of Russian ships and other infrastructure, the threat of invasion by sea is almost gone, and Ukraine has been able to remove the landmines and open the beaches again. It's not hard. Kill evil people and blow up their infrastructure and the world becomes a better place.

So far the 2nd quarter financial results for public miners are so beyond terrible it’s hard to even explain. RIOT: -$40M MARA: -$84M I’m removing “change in value of digital assets” to strictly highlight the operating businesses. These companies are “supposed” to be leaders. The best of the best… The small/medium sized miners are blowing them out of the water in terms of operation excellence. It’s clear as day they are going to lose. A HUGE part of the network is net unprofitable. The day they can’t raise money by diluting shareholders it’s over for them. Stay strong plebs we are going to win.
