The bitaxe gamma Silents are finally back in stock. The northbridge heatsinks ran out at the manufacturer and now they are golden… We’ve added multiple combinations with different stands. 50 pieces in stock for as long as stock lasts. Most likely this is a one off production with the golden northbridge heatsinks…

Bitaxe Gamma Silent – Bitcoin Brabant

A lot of people that contact us for help (in Dutch) are send to the bitcoin school. Their 100th episode is to be celebrated the upcoming week. If you’ve been through their journey with them, you learned a lot about bitcoin. It’s high signal, low noise. Not many followers, because there is simply no hype promises or empty discussions, just quality material and in depth tutorials about bitcoin stuff. Paul and Marina are the perfect couple with two very different viewpoints. Paul is very technical while Marina wants to understand what the hell he actually means. More people should consume their lessons, there’s so much to uncover in the bitcoin world. Thanks for all the proof of work! View quoted note →

You know what is powerful? If every person can start a webshop with the click of a button. When that is integrated with Nostr that makes a lot of sense. You can even order directly via DM with Nostr. The webshop should not share data with the fiat payment service providers. It should not be hard to have lightning payments in there and you don’t want it to be costly. You want to just simply configure the products and go. You want to have full control over your data. It has to be open source. Entering @be-BOP. We’ve been talking for almost half a year and have now created our first instance with a click of a button. If you are in Switzerland you are not going to find these products cheaper anywhere else. Further details will be built the upcoming week. But for now enjoy the simplicity. Bitcoin Brabant Switzerland is live. https://bitcoinbrabant.ch/

We've added new stands to our collection, you can order them loose if you want to put a second fan on or create a heavier upbuild and don't like our super heavy stand. We now have built in the selection option for gamma's and in our loose stand sales, for the supra's we advice you to add it manually, otherwise we also had to rebuild that entire configuration. Let us know what else you want to see in our portfolio. We currently have over 2500 items in stock.

Everyone is a scammer. Don’t trust verify. How do you know we delete your data? Are we really doing as we say? The interesting thing is, you will trust someone to do as they tell. As you can’t verify everything in life. There’s always a level of trust. What is a major trust factor? Time? Word of mouth? We’re 4,5 years into this bitcoin only endeavor. We’ve had hundreds of hack attempts on our webshop. We’ve seen many competitors come and go. Marketing in general is better with every competitor that has popped up. But can you consistently deliver? Do what you promise? Did you do the investments to deliver from stock? We only sell what we have on our little attic. We ship when we receive the order. We manually type the order as a personal shipment, so your data is not linked to an account or “hackable”. We’ve had people come help with our little webshop operation and say it’s inefficient. “You can’t scale to thousands of orders a day like this”. “People don’t care about their privacy, so why would you? You have to make it easy for yourself” People think too big. It’s not about being a large company. It’s about bringing bitcoin further, helping people have products that bring them further in their bitcoin journey. It’s about continuously delivering what we promise. It’s about trust. Verify us and meet us. We have only one goal, bring bitcoin further. So if you have any advice, any idea that helps bitcoin that we can help with, drop it below 👇

Just received a call by customs. They were searching for the 100x OSMU donation in the package. They couldn’t find it. They asked me in Dutch what this $5,- osmu donation was. I explained it was a donation and no product was there to be found in the box. Hope we don’t have too many broken bitaxes this time….

Why does nobody place any order on a beautiful day like this? Every day we receive a lot of orders, today feels like an off day or something. Enjoy!

For the plebs who missed the Eindhoven meetup yesterday. The English interview with Alles voor Bitcoin podcast host and official goodbye was interesting. What is bitcoin brutalism? Where are we and where are we going. Self custody risks etc. We’re going to miss the most controversial voice of the past 3 years and his podcast a lot. Thanks for the proof of work. And bear in mind, PROOF OF WORK IS LIFE.

Iedere dag krijgen we vragen binnen of iemand kan gaan minen op zijn of haar locatie. Warmte nodig? Goedkope stroom? Stroom over? Nieuwste of oude miners? Rule of thumb, boven de €0.05 per kWh niet aan beginnen. Hele jaar warmte nodig, groot deel gratis stroom of je krijgt zelfs betaald voor t consumeren van stroom of hebt een batterij geplaatst die grootste deel van t jaar niet leeggaat. Er zijn cases waar t uitkan, meer gedetailleerde calculaties maken we als we zien dat t misschien uitkan. Hitrate in Nederland… <1/100 aanvragen. Omdat we 1 van de hoogste stroomprijzen van de wereld hebben, kan je simpelweg niet concurreren met groot deel van de wereld waar stroom nagenoeg gratis is omdat het als basisbehoefte wordt gezien… daar gebruikt men dus de warmte niet en schakelt men ook niet af, want er is toch vrijwel altijd stroom over…

We just ordered 100 new bitaxe gammas. The issue is, will you sell them and when. We still have over 100 Supras in stock. Bought when the bitcoin price was much lower last year. We don’t know if they will be sold and if they are sold it’s at a tremendous loss in bitcoin terms. Most people say we should take out a loan to fund our stock (>€100k) so we don’t miss the upside potential of bitcoin. We looked for it, but paying fiat to loan fiat just doesn’t feel right. Loans enslave and the interest rates for company loans are currently around 9% over here. By not having any loans, there’s more freedom to the business. Many just call us stupid because we are constantly losing bitcoin because of it. But let’s imagine you can’t sell the supras or you even have to sell them at a loss in fiat terms (as we are currently doing). If we would have a loan we would have to pay back the loan and the interest. You’re just making the bankers and the system survive longer isn’t it? Only at large scale 0% financial engineering looks like it makes sense. In all the other instances, you sign up for slavery. Shipped quite some bitaxes again today. Will probably be out of stock for the gammas for a little while soon… or we call our emergency friend @npub1pg4l...hp9w we have been helping each other out a lot over the past 1,5 year. Stay humble, stack sats.

We are averaging over an order with bitcoin a day, it should be much higher. But since we started to accept fiat again people prefer to pay the premium even… View quoted note →

It’s Saturday evening 20:30, we’re packing orders for plebs. What are you doing?

It’s been 3 years since we rewrote the script for omroep Brabant explanation of bitcoin mining 👇 in Dutch

Curious if this is going to be the first day in a long time without any order. The number of orders have declined, asking around a major drop in orders is felt not only in the bitcoin related shops. Also other non bitcoin businesses are seeing lower volumes. Curious what other people see in their field of work. What is the sentiment like? What is happening volume wise? Please don’t reply if you’re working for the military industrial complex.

For the builders we have created the heavy lifter. The print is also open source available, you can find the link in the product description. Heavy lifter

Now that we have Nostr, we post our projects and proof of work on two platforms. The expectation is that the Nostr platform will outpace our reach on x at some point. We currently have less than 1/10th of the followers here. What would you like to see more of? We are installing another hydro setup soon and keep on shipping and building all kinds of things. Should we share or post more about this?

Just a regular day assembled and shipped: Multiple bitaxe Supras Multiple bitaxe gammas Multiple bitaxe Silents @SeedSigner bitcoinbrabant edition @COLDCARD mk4 @Foundation passports Seedfan kits Sealbags Thick Seedpaper (QR and Words) Countries: Netherlands Belgium Germany Spain Hungary France Total value 3.1M sats

The future is decentralized. “Not your keys not your coins” “Not your hash not your cash” “Not your node you share your code” Seeing a block being hit with a full sovereign setup is the next step in decentralization. We knew it was going to happen at some point. Today is the day. It was around block 888.888, we took back sovereignty, just before it was too late. It’s now time to scale sovereign compute, we all know there is going to major dispute. To avoid escalations we can secure freedom now for our future generations. We have been trying to make it very clear for more than a year. If we don’t win on truly owned sovereign hash, bitcoin will not be a free to use digital cash.

The limited edition of which only 21 were made is almost sold out… it’s low time preference and we’ll get there. @Sjors Provoost
