I know this account is mostly about home mining, but today I want to share something a little more personal.
Over the last few years I’ve been fighting depression. Today, for the first time, I spent the whole day alone with my little daughter… and for the first time in a very long time, I genuinely felt happy.
There were laughs, smiles, silly games… and I realized how far I’ve come.
I got into home mining because I needed something to pull me away from the negative thoughts. I thought I was buying a miner.
Instead, I found peace.
Over these past months I’ve learned, built, broken things, fixed them, stayed awake way too late chasing better efficiency, and even had people from the other side of the world jump on Discord calls to help me get a Bitaxe/NerdQaxe running.
But the biggest thing I found wasn’t a better hashrate.
It was a community.
We’re all chasing the same dream, finding that block, but along the way we end up finding something even more valuable: friendships, kindness, purpose, and people willing to help complete strangers.
It doesn’t matter if you’re open-source or closed-source, Team Bitaxe, NerdQaxe, Hammer, MagicMiner, or anything else.
This community is genuinely something special.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. You probably don’t realize how much you’ve helped me.
