@mattkratter Thanks for the mention Matthew. I appreciate your content. 👍

@THBitcoinBuddha @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin @mattkratter More about decentralisation of the network. Just that the group of supporters of BIP110 and the group of small mining or node operators has quite a large overlap.
English

@kruelintent @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin @mattkratter If you mean to support bip110 or not to support it that's just like buying votes. Just unfairly hurts the network for a short term gain for your beliefs.
English

Could someone from @Braiins or @ocean_mining or @GrassFedBitcoin or @mattkratter please explain WHY i would spend sats to rent hash power from one pool to mine against another one, albeit through my node, and earn fewer sats than I spend? #bitcoin
English

@THBitcoinBuddha @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin @mattkratter Arguably a little harsh but probably mostly accurate take.
There are a good few out there who are literally doing it for the greater good of the network and the coin.

@kruelintent @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin @mattkratter Unless renting for gambling (solo) its either done by idiots, temporarily to see how it all works or for money laundering.

@Matt_R_256 @mattkratter @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin Buying better/cleaner/purer Bitcoin at a slightly higher price, yes.
English

@mattkratter @kruelintent @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin So essentially it's buying bitcoin at a slightly higher price than spot?

@venorusprime @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin @mattkratter Thank you sir. An honest an reasonable answer. Respect.

Some of the hashrate purchasers are gamblers who are hoping to score a lotto block.
Others, like myself, are mining for the in order to signal for our preferred BIPs, want to turn KYC coins into non-KYC, and see it as beneficial to contribute to the security of the protocol. We are willing to pay for this service.
You may see that as "losing bitcoin" but we see it as any other service we pay for day to day.

@BitcoinBombadil So this is basically altruism? Decentralise the network at your own expense for the greater good. Yes?
Not against it, like I said, im just super curious why that fairly fundamental point is not clearer.
English

Because you understand Bitcoin’s purchasing power potential is dependent on its quality as Sound Money, and you want to spend some Bitcoin to help increase the overall monetary quality and purchasing power of Bitcoin.

English

@GrassFedBitcoin @Braiins @ocean_mining @mattkratter Yes but normally people mine in order to build up their pile of sats. This way you're spending the sats you already have to rent hash to mine fewer back. Seems crazy beyond the decentralised argument so I must have missed something? 🙏🤞🤷♂️
English

@kruelintent @Braiins @ocean_mining @mattkratter Because you want to mine and it's way cheaper than buying your own machines?
English

@mattkratter @Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin Hi Mat, thanks for taking the time yo reply. I check most if not all of the above but just to confirm 2 things:
1. Braiins only accepts btc as payment so you have to have some sats to spend.
2. If you spend them you can use the hash to mine fewer (cleaner?) sats back.
.. 🤷♂️

1) You are tired of 5 companies deciding what goes into 90% of Bitcoin blocks and want to help decentralize Bitcoin mining
2) You have most of your net worth in BTC, and #1 worries you
3) You want to mine spam-free blocks and signal for BIP-110 MASF
4) You hate shitcoiners like MARA and F2Pool
5) You want freshly issued non-KYC UTXOs
6) You're an intellectually curious, self-sovereign Bitcoiner who wants to run his own node and mine at 50 PH from home, but you have high residential electricity rates
English

@Braiins @ocean_mining @GrassFedBitcoin @mattkratter I'm not even trying to be funny. I am missing something and I would love to know what. Why pay for hash power to pool mine and earn less? Is it really just about decentralised hashing or is there a way this is a viable way to make sats?
