GM. It’s snowing nicely for the first time all year here today in Michigan and it’s my birthday. Going to try and move a little slower, have a little kore patience, and notice the smaller things a little more today. ☕️

Got a run in today for the #RunningBitcoinChallenge today, 3.54 miles. 3.56 miles to go to complete the half marathon. #ALS #Bitcoin #Running #RunningBitcoinChallenge https://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1077569&pg=personal&fr_id=1240

Got my second run in for the #RunningBitcoinChallenge today, 2.49 miles. 7.1 miles to go out of the half marathon. #ALS #Bitcoin #Running #RunningBitcoinChallenge https://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1077569&pg=personal&fr_id=1240

Good morning. ☀️ ☕️ Presence

Just got my first run done for the #RunningBitcoinChallenge supporting ALS foundation research. 3.51 miles down, 9.59 to go. Support at this link below or zap this post! https://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1077569&pg=personal&fr_id=1240 #running #bitcoin #ALS

GM! Today kicks off the first day of the #RunningBitcoinChallenge to support the ALS foundation II memory of Hal Finney. I'm running a half marathon over the next week and urge you to support by joining me and/or donating to the cause with fiat or sats below: https://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1077569&pg=personal&fr_id=1240 I will also personally donate any zaps I get on these posts the next week! #Running #RunningBitcoinChallenge #ALS #Bitcoin

“Time Preference”- 27th Edition 1) # Full nodes (reachable) - 17,323 (+4.07%) 2) # LN nodes - 13,803 (+0.76%) 3) LN capacity (BTC) - 4,999 (-0.32%) 4) BTC addresses > 1M sats - 12.76M (+0.34%) 5) BTC addresses > 10M sats - 4.59M (+0.16%) 6) BTC addresses > 100M sats - 1.024M (+0.11%) 7) Hashrate (EH/s) - 510 (-5.20%) 8) Price - $42,258 (-1.80%) (Sunday close) 9 Price/Hashrate - 83 (+3.59%) 10) Michigan businesses accepting BTC (btcmap.org) - 17 (n/c) 11) Routing Events - 501 (-50.20%) 12) Routing Sats - 441 (-5.97%) * % change figures from prev. Full nodes count bounced back up which is nice to see. LN capacity dipped below the psychological level of 5,000 BTC for the first time since 10/1/23 after that big spike up from ~4,700. We topped out at about $5,400 at the end of Nov. and have just drifted down since. Not sure this metric makes a ton of difference at the current stages - More important that we're using the capital more and more in addition to growing capacity. Still interesting to note big swings in the network 'size' - Price has an impact on this though as well obviously. Less BTC required as fiat value increases as much as it has since Oct. Addresses all tick up, good to see. I'm VERY curious in watching these numbers in the coming months after spot ETF approval. I still don't like it but that's neither here nor there. I'm a free market guy at the end of the day. Lastly, we can all laugh at my routing node activity again. It sure isn't easy to run a node and not lose money but I still do it, not sure why. Cheers on getting back to the short work week for some, finish it out strong! Oh, and the #runningbitcoinchallenge kicks off tomorrow so I will be getting my runs in over the next week! #bitcoin #timepreference #mining #Einundzwanzig #michigan #LightningNetwork ⚡️

One more day until the #RunningBitcoinChallenge kicks off to support the ALS foundation! I’ll be running a half marathon between 1/3-1/10 as part of the challenge and urge anyone to support a great cause through running and/or donating to the ALS foundation using the link below. Sats and fiat accepted. https://secure.alsagoldenwest.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1077569&pg=personal&fr_id=1240 #ALS #Bitcoin #Running

Bitcoin miners - Is it normal for my S9 to be autotuning for 17 hours w/ no progress? Still only around ~5 TH/s hash rate and it shows none of the fans are working on Braiins homepage although I know they are. It was 'tuned' already but then I had to move it around so unplugged and plugged back in a couple times and not it seems like it isn't making much progress. Is there something I can check or something I can do to help speed this up? Is it normal to autotune for so long? #mining #bitcoin #asknostr #bitcoinmining

GM. Beautiful morning to sit in the woods and try to land some venison before the season ends

“Time Preference”- 26th Edition 1) # Full nodes (reachable) - 16,645 (-1.96%) 2) # LN nodes - 13,699 (-0.09%) 3) LN capacity (BTC) - 5,015 (-1.01%) 4) BTC addresses > 1M sats - 12.71M (+0.30%) 5) BTC addresses > 10M sats - 4.58M (+0.09%) 6) BTC addresses > 100M sats - 1.023M (+0.10%) 7) Hashrate (EH/s) - 538 (+7.82%) 8) Price - $43,033 (+4.08%) (Sunday close) 9 Price/Hashrate - 80 (-3.46%) 10) Michigan businesses accepting BTC (btcmap.org) - 17 (n/c) 11) Routing Events - 1,006 (-59.73%) 12) Routing Sats - 469 (-91.89%) * % change figures from prev. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas w/ loved ones. Not a lot to speak about this week outside of my crashing routing node activity (volatility in this section still continues to impress) and almost a 2% decrease in full nodes. I'll keep an eye on the full nodes stat next week, often times it is just a matter of when I pull the data and that number bounces back to average the following week. Hashrate continues to rip! It's never ending, up another ~7%. Price feels heavy but that's probably just me. Shitcoins are ripping, feels like we need a good flushing across the board heading into the new year and halving. I wouldn't mind a retouch of the all important $28k - $31k level yet doubt that will happen. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to everyone on this beautifully decentralized network. Cheers 🎄 #bitcoin #timepreference #mining #Einundzwanzig #michigan #LightningNetwork ⚡️

Darkest day of the year, more light tomorrow and every day after until June. Cheers

Emphasizing this today. Will have implications for bitcoin price in short term. Long term no impact View quoted note →

GM nostr, I hope today starts off well for all

GN

Good morning all ☕️ Make it a great day and try to avoid the distractions. I'll take any tios myself on that feat

Feel’s like vol gonna spike, perhaps

Also finally got a run in, was very long overdue. I have more energy than I’ve had in weeks - grateful to be able to physically run and get outside today.

It’s an official. Member of the fed publicly announcing that 2% isn’t the only target possible. @macroscope on Twitter followed the narrative shift up until this point over the last year and then some.
