Rube-Goldberg Workflow The overall goal is to suck methane from an old coal mine via a Coal Bed Methane gob well (the mine operated from ~1917-1940), dry and regulate down to a pressure that is suitable to run generators for ₿itcoin mining. The compressor starts up with gas from a conventional well. Once the compressor warms up, its fuel source is switched over to the methane it extracts from the coal mine. That gas is then sent out to be dried and regulated. It first hits a filter separator, then an aftercooler, a drip, a desiccant tower, before the back pressure regulator which keeps that side at 200 psi. This enables the gas to be better dried and cooled. On the other side of the BPR there is another drip, the gas is stepped down to 65 psi where it passes a flaring unit (never use it, but it can be if needed). The gas then travels to a valve bank where a pilot motor valve sends gas out to a trunk line that feeds the generators, delivering a consistent 12 psi by opening and closing its valve based on demand. Any unused gas it pushed back to the suction side of the compressor. The gas that travels to the trunk line for the gens, passes through a meter, past a buffer tank to deliver a smooth flow of gas. And is regulated down via a reg at each generator unit. That’s basically it, that the Rube Goldberg machine I’ve created. It can be stressful as there are so many points of failure, but I love it and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. The last picture posted here is why I do it. ❤️ 👧🏻👧🏼👧🏼

Here's an example of why ₿itcoin mining for profit should be your number one concern. This gauge is the coalescer filter differential pressure gauge for my compressor. The compressor goes into automatic shutdown should that pressure exceed 15 PSID. A rather dumb device, if the needle hits the set threshold, the alarm panel will shut down the unit...simple. You'd think the gauge should cost $50 or so as it's a simple device, but alas it's a $300 + part. I have to watch every nickel and dime here in my operation, adhering strictly to sound economic principles. If I don't, this operation shuts down and I'm unable to contribute hashrate to the network.

Sneak peek at HeatHarvest 2026: Satoshi’s Hatchery “Proof of Hatch” This season, we’re putting Bitcoin mining heat to work in a whole new way: poultry cultivation. The mission is to use Bitcoin miners not only to hatch quail in custom-designed incubators, to carry them through the full early-life cycle, from incubation, to brooder, to overwintering habitat, with Bitcoin miners serving as the primary heat source from start to finish. The system will include custom automatic turners, humidity control, temperature monitoring, and control modules designed specifically around Bitcoin miner heat recovery. The builds will include two incubator variations: Mini, designed for small-scale 6-egg hatching, and Max, designed for up to 50 eggs. We’ll also be developing a Bitcoin-heated brooder with capacity for up to 100 quail chicks, along with a one-of-a-kind Bitcoin heated adult quail habitat designed to complete the cycle and start it all over again. Proof of Hatch begins.
