Last Notes npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I'm not saying you are. I'm saying I don't see the incentive for a small economic node, such as myself, to switch to the chain with frozen coins if it comes down to one. Wouldn't a hard fork be almost inevitable? I may be missing something but if some nodes and miners "switch off" old utxos while others don't how could the chain not split? Especially because these frozen utxos will be trying to become active and get into blocks. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Personally, I don't think price action is a valid reason to make these changes. Lots of people and institutions would get rekt if over leveredged and we'd come out stronger, no? From a game theory angle, let's look at me, an economic node. Albeit a small one, but probably somewhat indicative of other vendors around the world producing value and trading it for sats. If the at risk coins are stolen and flood the market then for the period of time while price is suppressed I trade my goods for more sats. I don't see the incentive to switch if it comes down to a hard fork. I think people like me are "sticky" to our current node implementations and individually we may seem insignificant we are definitely here in the world creating value and storing it in sats. Cumulatively we're worth something. So we would still be here, doing lots of small transactions which would generate fees. Lots of small sat transactions are more valuable to miners than a few big ones if everybody is paying the same fee rate. This, plus the incentive to mine the quantum stolen coins for what would likely be juicy fees makes me think that more miners would choose the original (non-frozen) chain. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I read the article, I read the BIP. I am trying to think through this rationally and not jump to any conclusions one way or another. Can you elaborate on one thing for me? It looks, from my reading, that the biggest argument for freezing / burning / whatever the "vulnerable" coins is because if they come to market they will have a negative price impact. Am I interpreting this correctly? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Do you get the beef locally for sats? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner That looks like such beautiful material. Are you able to use / monetize the bits that don't work out for the books? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner So cool. A friend of mine is thinking of saving up this year for a wood fired hot tub. Maybe I'll end up assembling it for him from your kit! npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I will definitely be adding some time to my trip for that! What moisture content do you have to get the wood down to for the tubs? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner You're not kidding! Those hot tubs you're making are gorgeous!! I wish I wasn't full to the brim at my (tiny) shop because I'd love to take you up on the offer. I'm in the lower Hudson Valley so the other side of the country anyway... I do go out to WA every summer though! If you ever wanted to donate some knowledge I'd love to see the shop on one of my trips npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner GM nostr, its time for my #introductions I've been here for a while now, getting my feet under me, learning, interacting. Sometimes just talking to the void & sometimes having real, meaningful connections. I plan to continue interacting and sharing here, on this wild and free protocol. And today I'm happy to use nostr to announce the Hook Mountain Manufacturing Company est. 926845. It is a one man shop. It is me and I am it. I take trees from my local ecosystem that were otherwise going to be turned to mulch or sent to the big mills upstate and beyond for veneer, flooring, etc. and I turn them into useful products for your everyday life. I've been working with trees for many years at this point, and have been learning how to process them from log to end product. It is a slow journey, filled with trials and errors. Blood, sweat, tears. I am not formally trained, just brute forcing my way through life and production. Part of my production process involves directing the heat generated from bitcoin mining into a wood kiln to reduce the moisture content of my lumber to a suitable range for fine wood working. When you support my business you are directly supporting the decentralization of the network. Any knowledge I gain in this area will be shared freely. My aim is to be a nostr & bitcoin first company. I want to make quality products and trade them for hard money. My goal with this company is to produce enough value for the world to afford me and my eventual family a comfortable life filled with travel, learning, and connection. For now I am accepting bitcoin and fiat - not out of choice but necessity. When my bitcoin market gets big enough I will drop the fiat and never look back. If you made it this far thank you for reading. I sincerely appreciate everyone here who is fighting for a better world. It won't come easily, but with focus and commitment we have a chance. https://blossom.primal.net/5d5bd1c25dc765a55ded40a2e99aae52207a8f49dba9a50fd4f6c76a0170aef0.jpg #introductions #hashheat npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Divine has a lot of my nonbitcoiner / nonnostr friends excited. I think this will be a great way to expand the protocol 🤝 🍻 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner It blows my mind that companies actually PLAN obsolescence. It is a total betrayal of the relationship between business and customer. I work so hard and for so long to make the best products that I can. That's literally the bulk of my focus. I would be ashamed if something that I sold failed, even if it was after a few years of use. To actually plan for it? What the fuck. #nostrvendors #circulareconomy #earnsats npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner That's a beautiful color! npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner @nprofile…6tav Now my last 4,000 sats are gone from my balance after a failed 42 sat zap 😬 #nevent1q…tp65 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner GM @nprofile…6tav #nevent1q…xkff npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner @nprofile…6tav what's the proper support channel? I'd like to keep zapping the fine people here on nostr but last time I zapped my app drained 2k sats unexplained! #nevent1q…rkpl npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Yo @nprofile…w6ma You make some damn fine pecan butter 🤤 The quality of the ingredients is obvious from the first bite. That's what I love about everyone slangin' goods here on nostr. We want people to pay us in the best money so we naturally strive to make the best product withs the best materials. 🍻 #hodlbutter #circulareconomy npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner @nprofile…6tav I had some unexplained balance changes in my app yesterday. Watched the balance drop a few thousand sats in front of my eyes with no explanation. Is there a support or trouble shooting group? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Today I made my first self sovereign lightning purchase, I heard of the company on nostr Today I made my first self sovereign sale over the lightning network, I advertised my company on nostr Today was a good day GN #circulareconomy npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner It will be a bit more decentralized if I get this node going the way I want. Even if I only do one hop before the "hub" I'll be happy npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I'd rather have a node with a wide variety of connections if I can make it work. I think 1 big channel is more convenient than robust npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner How many channels does a merchant need to have good connection to the lightning network? I have 2 and seem to be having some serious route finding issues. Can't buy #hodlbutter or top up #minibits ... #asknostr #lightning npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner The first time you see the same DMs across different implementations of nostr is really trippy. Puts the whole protocol into perspective npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Roughly $40 / tray depending on the exact specifics. Would be high quality hash-heated white oak with your cafe logo laser printed on 🥳 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner GM nostr, feeling good today. I see the light at the end of the tunnel for collecting and verifying BTC in a self custodial, self sovereign way npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner No, the best way to care for these boards is to hand wash. The high heat and excessive moisture in dishwashers can cause the wood to warp or even cause the boards that are made of multiple pieces to begin to delaminate npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner True npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I am very, very far from an expert on this so I can't really give out advice. What I will say is that if you have the budget, don't go cheap on the hardware. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I still need a node to validate the TX. Of course I could use mempool.space or any other public blockchain explorer but I don't want to... npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner But what does that QR code go to? My intent is to sell goods for BTC and to do so without a 3rd party. Which means that I need to run my own node to validate my own transactions, and I need to do it on my own hardware... in other words when I show you the QR code I want it to have been generated by my computer at home npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner BTCPay server runs the node in the background on the same raspberry pi https://docs.btcpayserver.org I have used umbrel to run a node on a raspberry pi with great results, but I can't speak to what it would be like now. That node synced in a different time with a different UTXO set... npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Yes, theoretically. Mine is having an issue after I tried to add on additional features though so at this point I'm not keeping up with the chain npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I've done it in two weeks on better hardware. Some people can do it in hours, just depends on what your computer specs are npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner For me yes, to download and validate. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner They're awesome. I was surprised at its size vs the bitaxe. Also, somehow my nerdaxe is quieter than my bitaxe 🧐 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Thank you! I make them for the bitaxe too npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner 10% discount and free shipping if paying with BTC, DM me on nostr to set it up. FREE GIFT for whoever does my first bitcoin sale npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner If you see any you like on thewoodmine.com and want to pay BTC I will do 10% discount and free shipping! Just need to DM me on Nostr because my store is not currently set up to natively accept BTC npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner That would make sense... it has been a real struggle trying to get this thing working. I don't want the dream of self sovereign BTC on cheap hardware to die though. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I think I spoke too soon 😭 is anybody familiar with what may have gone wrong? Happened sometime during Shopify v2 integration #asknostr #btcpayserver https://blossom.primal.net/496287826ce9a2846c022587bb8748b53b6daa1144f6dbe432719efbc0f8ee30.png https://blossom.primal.net/74980ec141b61cb583558b923396fb9a49c94bfa8755506e4bd79045934611e6.png #nevent1q…cqek npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I will be adding more at lower price points over the next few weeks! I hope to serve a very broad market 😃 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner You are an absolute legend. Will DM you now npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner It just synced yesterday so today's agenda is to finish Shopify integration. Then I will figure out some lightning liquidity and be zapping ⚡ npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner To get wood down to a suitable moisture content for finer woodworking (6-8%) you need to have a kiln. I made mine with a bitcoin miner as the heat source. In this sense the heat from hashing did the work to dry the lumber (hash-heated). I didn't coin the term but I love it npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I appreciate the sincere and thought out response. At the end (and start) of the day it is totally worth the discovery trade-off to not be fed the algo-fear-slop. I'm planning another giveaway soon so will definitely be using The Derek Algorithm soon 🤣 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner GM Derek, any tips for hitting that mass on Nostr? It's pretty hard to start from zero here and build up organically. I recently tried to do a free giveaway for third spaces and I doubt any even saw it npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I've only ever milled one cherry tree. It is my desk, my cutting board, my shelf, my bitaxe stand, the frame to my aunts memorial... it is the first batch of wood I've kiln dried. It's been cut up and spread around the country, some with family, some with friends. This specific cherry tree had been standing dead for many years and would not have been sellable to the larger, more automated mills. Instead it would have been turned to mulch - returning it to the natural cycle of death and decay. Its beauty lost forever. This tree will always have a special place in my heart and home, and if you buy any of my cherry products it will have a place in yours too. www.thewoodmine.com npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Is this market lightning only? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner stuck in the void 🤣 https://blossom.primal.net/fc4b2a8cf5084c5658fd570b65cc5b9fda608495d02e55080f67417830ae46b6.png npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner holy shit it finally happened. My BTCPay Server synced onto a raspi 4. It only took 3 months 😅 #synced npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner What hash-heated wood products do y'all want to see in time for Christmas? I'm thinking you can give your aunt who hates bitcoin energy use a hash-heated cutting board to open up some conversations #asknostr #heatreuse https://blossom.primal.net/4d034b41cb7c5daf9b917b8578f8eea5fe6b36ac8051788d93d9563eb82b1b4e.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ff6dcdab7a0dd142614fe3af5e1396dcc7d94021ea2305995c9c37d9f0db908a.jpg npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Just some Monday morning milling. #dunnage #sawmill #woodstr https://blossom.primal.net/8438702ca9b435084e088e5f34e77def2ca28ad617af0b8eb83ed9c9071fb8bd.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/f421aa5922638031a8733b62d54a73a16aca98ef8a971d073cfeb99834f7629d.jpg npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Unfortunately this giveaway failed 😟 I will try again soon and open the next one up to all bitcoin retailers, not just those that host free educational events. #nevent1q…2sma npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Cool, I've never tried that method. I might have to give it a try for part of this batch npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner How long did you air dry/ how long do you cure? I currently have a small amount air drying as well, almost at the 2 week mark npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner awesome npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Every Citadel should have a small sawmill and a woodMiner! If you have some land with some trees and want to talk about processing your own lumber let's talk #citadeltheory npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner GM. Only two more days! Still don't have any entries ... I should be able to give away free stuff here! C'mon NOSTR! #free #giveaway #nevent1q…2sma npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Okay, my goal for the end next week is to get a few products up on Plebeian 🤝 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner That's beautiful work. I air dry my stuff for like a year too before I put it in the kiln (mostly because it was all already air drying when I made the kiln). The kiln for me is only to get it down those last few % that you can't get to with air drying... at least in my climate. For example the cherry I used in my first batch was air dried for almost two years and only got to 14% (this was 2" thick slabs though) , then 3 weeks in the kiln and its down to 8%. My worry with putting 25+% wood directly into my set up is the air velocity... I have to force the air through and out at a rate equal to keeping the asics cool in my miner. Even though the temp is normal for air drying in hot climates the air velocity will draw the moisture out much faster than stagnant air of the same temp. Some old USFS papers on drying lumber said that air velocity becomes somewhat irrelevant below 20%, so I will probably always have to air dry for some time before using this type of kiln. I think the best solution would be to use a liquid cooled miner, run the hot pipes through the kiln and blow fans over them so that I can capture the heat without recycling the air. This would allow me to have some humidity control in addition to temperature and I could follow the typical kiln schedules. Sorry for the rant 🤣 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Thank you, I'm having a lot of fun with it. The goal is to eventually get a full kiln that can dry wood right off the sawmill but if I tried that with this set up it would crack and warp wayyyyy too much npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Hah, yeah that's definitely where I was getting caught up. Thank you for the help/info. I'll look into the wallets you recommended and hopefully will be up and zapping soon npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner GM nostr!

I think I'll probably end up going with alby on my node and my own channels eventually... I just have some light ptsd from the last time I messed with lightning channel management 🤣 npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner do you need to run / manage your own node for a NWC wallet? I was trying to get everything set up with ecash using pub.cash so I didn't have to deal with a lightning node but I can't seem to get a NWC string npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner what are you using to generate the nostr wallet connect string? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner free primal npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner probably mine, I wasn't sure if I set it up correctly.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. BTC pay server has synced up to block 902,000 after about 3 months (raspi 4). Looks like it should be fully synced in ~2 more week. I have no idea if this is now the standard for a full initial block download on a raspberry pi or what. I'm just happy to be near the end... #syncing npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner https://blossom.primal.net/4ca550b6f04980dbf0432c907f27414d6e4e64def1ce89beab2af15cec1a2990.jpg

I have a small kiln for drying slabs heated with a futurebit. What is the initial and final moisture content on these? Do you attempt to control the humidity in the drying tower? npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Excited to mess around with cnc joinery. If anybody has any tips or tricks please share! #woodworking npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Yes, 100%. I air dry my lumber first so it's already about 15% moisture content when it goes into the kiln. This is just to finish it off and get it down into the 6-8% range. There is still some loss though. If you put fully wet wood into the kiln as it is now it would not go well... The problem with an air cooled miner is that you have to send the heat through the kiln then directly out. I think to ever have a kiln that could take wood from fresh cut all the way to dried lumber I would need to use a liquid cooled miner and run the hot pipe through the enclosed chamber and blow a fan over it. This would allow me to capture the heat without constantly recycling the air, theoretically making it much easier to control the humidity inside. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Drying lumber! https://blossom.primal.net/12c17a08561fdfc792b88f6de1bd91f3c38da1a61ddc217b1742c4a3292dec6a.jpg npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner Great concept! -------------------------------- I can only mine if I can use the heat And I want to mine.

I'll keep ya posted. npub1dd87dzj8juqq90h0jn4vcy8s3hm02pneu6ckjstcapkquvp5gexq6h2tzd woodMiner I just switched to sterilization on my third batch of wood, utilizing one Avalon Miner 1266. The chamber is ~100 square feet and stacked with varying thickness oak boards. I'm happy to say it went from 100F - 132F in 2 hours. My goal is to reach and sustain 135F (or higher) for 3 days.
