A group of miners has participated in a fundraiser for an industry non-profit—not by donating BTC or fiat, but by sending 1 EH/s hashrate to solo...

This is exactly what we’re trying to do with our own #hashathon. We solo mine as a group for 6 hours and call it a #BlockParty & #Hashathon!

Pro tip: As we get closer to the #BlockParty, bidding intensifies. Make bids & turn on your notifications (email or text) so you get notified when you're outbid on hashrate auctions!

The #BlockParty #hashathon is picking up steam with ONE WEEK to go! Also: 204,005 TH/s to go 🔥 ⛏️ The party is how we solo mine as a group. We've got a #Bitaxe brigade already hashin' sats to CKPool for the festivities. These solo miners are already sending a pregame hash of ~6 TH/s 🔥 @QW just set up his 1st Bitaxe (we're sure he'll get more). You can still earn your spot in the party via hashrate auctions or simply through direct buys of 8 TH per 120 sats QW & @npub14hak...uhvd are each donating 10% of their share if/when we hit a block to their charities of choice—npub1uhplusmx9yvpz32dw3stjdrrxnhn7ns5jag637jl2yvmhrwayats68srlr and @BTCIsla ⭐️ Because what good is it to hit a block if we don't change the world by supporting Bitcoin education & circular economies? LFG: https://upendo.xyz/

Without Proof of Work, Bitcoin wouldn’t be #Bitcoin. Thank a miner today! 😉 ⛏️

We have 208,946 TH/s to go to hit the #BlockParty early start target 🎯 Can we do it? 🤔 https://upendo.xyz/ #hashathon @QW @MAKE SONGS LONGER

Pick your team! When you’re in the auctions at https://upendo.xyz/, you can pick which team you prefer. Will it be @BTC Isla or npub1uhplusmx9yvpz32dw3stjdrrxnhn7ns5jag637jl2yvmhrwayats68srlr? Overall, the more hashrate we pump, the more likely we are to find a block—meaning the charities get their share of the reward from @QW & npub1nl8r463jkdtr0qu0k3dht03jt9t59cttk0j8gtxg9wea2russlnq2zf9d0!

⚡ Memes, follows, reposts, and replies to this note get 121-sat zaps! ⚡ One week left to get into the May 17 #BlockParty on https://upendo.xyz/! Just 120 sats gets you 8 TH/s via our direct buy option. Fresh auctions (for more share of the reward if/when we find a block) are up on the site too! #hashathon #zapathon

Don’t have a creepy basement to run a miner?  Live somewhere that doesn’t need to be heated?  You can still contribute to the network with Bitcoin mining via @Rigly & Upendo! 💪 ⛏️ @Rigly is our main npub for fixed return mining & educational mining content.  This one is for the #BlockParty! #hashathon 🎉

New addition this time around! The #BlockParty does NOT have to start May 17. We can push it to start sooner! 🔥 If we reach 250 PH/s party will start this Saturday, May 10th 🔥 LFG, #plebchain!!!!!! #hashathon

#Hashathon TEAMS are LIVE!  Head to your Upendo dashboard and decide which team to support! Both @QW & @MAKE SONGS LONGER are pledging 10% the share of their block reward to their charities of choice—@BTC Isla and @Bitcoin Arusha!  Once the party starts, the team with the most hashrate gets 21 PH/s, runner-up gets 5 PH/s. This makes it a win-win for all, which is what we’re all about at Rigly!  Now we just have to hit that block!

ICYMI, our Rigly co-founders, @Evan Baer & @npub12x0x...4h9s were on #Plebchain Radio in January. https://www.fountain.fm/episode/MvSh1JqFGq0Lxsuh5oL9

🔥 HOT n’ FRESH 🔥 NEW auctions for your Tuesday night bidding pleasure! We’re struck by how low these auction prices for the next #BlockParty are! 🤯 Get in on the May 17 #hashathon: https://upendo.xyz/
