1 Loki Urlacher Antminer S19K Pro on the way-! I decided to get the miner - by September I’ll have customized it further and spliced it into the house HVAC There are a few approaches to accomplishing this - but I’ll get it hashing while I finalize the plan. #mine4heat #diy #mining #grownostr

This recent ATH has been interesting for me in that I had recently ‘Orange Pilled’ a small group of friends over the winter. I had been encouraging friends and fam but I decided to host a few dinner party type sessions with some hand outs. I on-boarded everyone with Shakepay and showed them how to send it to a Tangem wallet. I answered a lot of seemingly simple questions. I started posting memes, news and updates in a private chat for the group. They all rode out the dip with laughter and diamond hands memes - watched inspiring video clips and tried to make sense of an avalanche of news snippets regarding BTC. Now They’re setting fees on transactions and consolidating UTXOs and talking about the cycles, halving, and curious about mining for heat Being people along with you on your bitcoin journey. #grownostr #bitcoin #introductions #stacksats #relax

I think I’ll install a Loki Urlacher S19K miner into the house HVAC …. been thinking of it for some time now. The math is good - and it’d be nice to have it ready for September #mineforheat #bitcoin

Got to 500 on my ShakePay streak on bitcoin pizza day.

Happy ATH Everyone ☝️

Back on the grind 😉 Family life’ll keep you busy and it’s easy to procrastinate. This one is prolly more than half done now. #proofofwork #painting #progress #artstr #grownostr #paintstr #fineart #art #studio #themarkpenney

This smart thermostat helped me save 30% controlling the same electric furnace more efficiently. Thermometer Stats: Average inside 20.9°C Average outside 10.2°C HVAC runtime Last April: 37 Hrs. (34% less with the smart thermostat ) This April : 17 Hrs. (46% less adding the heaters) Adding 3 Canaan Nanos meant the furnace ran 22% less The power bill is about the same and the Sats the Nanos made got stacked. This makes sense to me given our climate and our interests in bitcoin. I need the heat, I want the sats. #nano #ecobee #bitcoin #homeimprovement #heat #mine #canaan #dyi

Proof of Workout The first 20 minutes are warmup, the next 20 are workout, the last 20 basically double your output. I’ve been recovering from an injury and the progress is very welcomed.

Proof of work Swapped out the sconces at the front of the house … I reduced the power draw by 75%, lit the area better and used a fitting that looks and works better. #grownostr #proofofwork #dyi #upgrade

Proof of Pruning Lots of work pruning back these trees. They’d been left for years. 2 are plum trees with really tasty plums. After a big pruning whereby I took down 1/2 of each tree, they’ve come back strong. I think it’s a crab apple tree? Next to them got another hatchet job and clean up and I took out a scrappy maple to make space #proofofwork #grownostr #yardwork

Some low fees rn, nice time to consolidate those UTXOs. 😉

Working hard to finish a painting for ArtSplash! an upcoming show. I think it’s finally ’turned a corner’ #artstr #art #fineart #painting #grownostr #themarkpenney #river

Mainstream Media and most of social media is silent about bitcoin, despite recent news CNN hasn’t posted a story on BTC since December 5 Stack sats n smile 😊

I’ve been hobby mining for a while—super fun, and I’ve learned a lot. Lately, I’ve been bidding on #mining farm auctions for rented hashrate, which is a blast too. Home mining’s tricky with power and gear costs, and profitability can be challenging . Enter rigly.io—the site I’ve been using for auctions. I fumbled some settings and messed up a bit, but their tech support got me sorted out. Rigly seems solid: you definitely get the #hashrate you pay for, sent wherever you want. #Bid smart, and you’ll score some freshly mined #BTC.

I feel like they’re pretty new to #bitcoin if they’re picking out ‘the next bitcoin’ hopefuls to add to the #strategicreserve. “There is no second best “ -Saylor

“Time in the market beats timing the market. “ #Bitcoin’s best 10 days a year are where all the magic happens—184% gains The other days? Eh, -10%. 2021: top days 179%, rest -43%. 2019: 217% vs. -39%. 2024 so far: 52% vs. -15%. Miss those 10 big days, and you’re screwed!

#zap exactly 21 #sats to anyone using #WalletofSatoshi and get in in a draw Any excuse for a #zapathon 🤪

A post of available Mark Penney paintings. Prices vary by size, and I do accept bitcoin. My website needs to be updated . For now you can see more of my work on Instagram and facebook. I'm still new to Nostr - just figuring it out along the way

We had a raffle to raise money for the Pacific Rim Arts Society My proof of work is that I sold 25 tickets 🎟️ and helped raise $7K towards the staffing costs by donating a painting 🖼️ Hope you’re all having a great 💘 Valentines weekend #nostr #grownostr #artstr #artist #painting #raffle #proofofwork
