Almost every piece of software can now be reverse engineered. Proprietary locking as moat about to be decimated by Open Source. Adobe, Solidworks, etc... 🍿

Seems likely the trend will continue.. Hardware >> software Blue collar >> white collar "Learn to Coal" >> "Learn to Code"

@SGBarbour Looking good!

First 325 kW Hash Generators from our new Casper, Wyoming manufacturing facility in final testing

AI workloads are characterized by elephant flows when all of the GPUs in a cluster exchange data through collective communication operations to synchronize data for distributed workloads. These flows can often lead to congestion and load balancing issues. (1/6)🧵

@BTCBap @SpaceDenver @Exergy_LLC Satoshi’s Sauna?

@SpaceDenver is being renamed SaunaDenver, powered by @Exergy_LLC

@altair_tech @grok are there any OSHWA certified devices that meet this criteria?

Can someone come up with a list of 5 successful fully open-source hardware electronic devices? We'll define successful as > 1 million units sold or created. These can be in any category like miners, phones, 3d printers, televisions etc. OSS software doesn't count, Open source hardware only.

@AcquiredFM @grok did version 1 of google maps launch without Europe?

This is what Google Maps looked like on launch day in 2005. It’s uh... missing some countries.

I get a lot of questions, so here's the latest. libbitcoin-node is functionally complete as a blocks-only node, sufficient for non-mining. It syncs to 900k in < 1 hour on a $350 mini over 2.3Gbps Internet. Work has moved to public query via libbitcoin-server for RPC compat.

@Jesse_TWGG @MARA @protomining I double-Jesse’d 🤦

@Jesse_TWGG @MARA @protomining Good luck Jesse on what’s next Jesse!

Wrapped up at MARA. I’m extremely thankful for the ride 🙏 and rooting for the team. Thank you @MARA for an incredible journey. Now diving into @protomining 🚀 Rig + Fleet just launched. This is just the beginning. Let’s go! 👉 proto.xyz

@tylerkstevens Do you think DTC hydro is on their roadmap?

Extremely impressive launch from Proto yesterday. Honored to attend and represent the heatpunks. Here are my big takeaways as someone who’s working build a new segment of the heating industry - powered by hashrate. Modularity: The notion of rig as infrastructure makes so much sense. Why would you replace the furnace or boiler every few years when only the “heating element” needs an upgrade or swap? Software not Firmware: Fleet is the new interface for the machine(s). How often do you go into the bios of your motherboard on your desktop? Exactly. Everything should automatically boot, authenticate, and be controllable from the fleet software. Imagine a future where installing a hashrate water heater is as simple as plugging in, connecting internet, and entering a bitcoin address for rewards. That day will come. Trickle Down: Standardized hashbaord form factors to fit rig will have trickle down effects. The pub-cos can buy the cutting edge silicon to keep their margins. Off grid “in the bush” mines will become the retirement homes for last gen Proto boards. Then the heatpunks can take what’s unprofitable in a mining business and turn it into electric heating with a rebate. Open Source: It’s unbelievably refreshing to have a team like Proto committed to open source, documentation, and overall communication. This is what happens when the mining hardware / software team are also bitcoiners. Bits and Bobs: Single phase power is great for Heatpunk tinkering. Residential homes and small businesses in the US don’t have three phase industrial power. Ability to run with missing hashboard configurations lets us match hashrate to heat demand more easily (sizing). Dynamic power tuning and rapid hashrate response means a new heating control method is unlocked. We can dial back the throttle to get the exact heat we want. No more bang/bang on off. Overall documentation and FOSS commitment means controlling a Proto miner from a regular smart thermostat is inevitable. These are just my initial thoughts. Super impressive. The ideas are flowing. Thank you to the incredibly impressive @protomining team and @jack If you want to hear more of my thoughts, check out the most recent rips on the @256FOUNDATION podcast.

At first glance this seems like a tremendous value prop by @protomining but let’s see how the non-hashboard infra actually holds up over multiple hashboard refresh cycles.

@SGBarbour @TempletonThomas @protomining @jack Some compelling eng & design principles. First impression for me — the value prop is mainly in the swappable hashboards. Will be interesting to see how the non-hashboard components hold up long-term over hashboard refresh cycles and if claimed capital efficiency materializes.

Great job on the hardware design @TempletonThomas and @protomining, nice to see a supplier actually listen to feedback from industry! Power dense, ease of maintenance / repair in mind, nice square form factor. Very well done. h/t @jack

@OGBTC are you saying the swappable HBs is value added or not, given retro fit labor?

Love the engineering & design principles implemented here — modular rigs, high-grade infra.

Would look great on my desk. @MARA what do you think?
