It was the night before the #BlockParty
And all through Nostr…
Plebs were hooking up
Every #Bitaxe they could foster
The fans were all humming as fast as they dare,
In hopes that a block soon would be there;
The miners were nestled all snug by their rigs,
While visions of mempool blocks danced in their heads.
And I with my hardware, and spouse with her doubt,
Had just settled in for a long mining bout,
When out on Nostr there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my dashboard to see what was the matter.
Away to the monitor I flew like a flash,
Checked the pool stats, workers, and my wallet's sweet stash.
The glow of the ASICs on new-fallen snow,
Gave luster of orange to the numbers below.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a best difficulty share—the block drawing near!
With difficulty climbing so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment 127 T would click.
More rapid than Lightning, the hashpower came,
And the miners all whistled and shouted with fame:
"Now S19! Now Whatsminer!
Now Antminer too!
On Bitaxe!
On Avalon!
Bring our block through!”
So up to the moon-our best difficulty share did fly,
With a sleigh full of block rewards—oh my, oh my!
And then, in a twinkling,
I heard from the roof,
The whirring and humming of each ASIC's proof (of work).
The
@Alliance kept hitting, block after block,
As Satoshi blessed every rig’s overclock.
So here's to the plebs who keep mining alive—
May your hash rates stay strong and the network decentralize!
