woodMiner

GM nostr, its time for my #introductions I've been here for a while now, getting my feet under me, learning, interacting. Sometimes just talking to the void & sometimes having real, meaningful connections. I plan to continue interacting and sharing here, on this wild and free protocol. And today I'm happy to use nostr to announce the Hook Mountain Manufacturing Company est. 926845. It is a one man shop. It is me and I am it. I take trees from my local ecosystem that were otherwise going to be turned to mulch or sent to the big mills upstate and beyond for veneer, flooring, etc. and I turn them into useful products for your everyday life. I've been working with trees for many years at this point, and have been learning how to process them from log to end product. It is a slow journey, filled with trials and errors. Blood, sweat, tears. I am not formally trained, just brute forcing my way through life and production. Part of my production process involves directing the heat generated from bitcoin mining into a wood kiln to reduce the moisture content of my lumber to a suitable range for fine wood working. When you support my business you are directly supporting the decentralization of the network. Any knowledge I gain in this area will be shared freely. My aim is to be a nostr & bitcoin first company. I want to make quality products and trade them for hard money. My goal with this company is to produce enough value for the world to afford me and my eventual family a comfortable life filled with travel, learning, and connection. For now I am accepting bitcoin and fiat - not out of choice but necessity. When my bitcoin market gets big enough I will drop the fiat and never look back. If you made it this far thank you for reading. I sincerely appreciate everyone here who is fighting for a better world. It won't come easily, but with focus and commitment we have a chance. #introductions #hashheat

I make a lot of typos, which just shows that I post straight off the cuff & am not AI 😉 You get the real deal

I never liked tomatoes until I had a fresh tomato.

It blows my mind that companies actually PLAN obsolescence. It is a total betrayal of the relationship between business and customer. I work so hard and for so long to make the best products that I can. That's literally the bulk of my focus. I would be ashamed if something that I sold failed, even if it was after a few years of use. To actually plan for it? What the fuck. #nostrvendors #circulareconomy #earnsats

Masks on in my shop

GM & happy Monday nostr. Gotta try to be extra productive these three days leading up to thanksgiving!

I've been so impressed with nostr:nprofile1qyu8wumn8ghj7mrfva58gmnfdenjucn9de3ksmmywfhkve3wvdhk6tmwdaehgunrd35k2mn59ashq6f0wccj7un9d3shjqg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgknqvewv3hhyctxv93hgmmj0yhx7un8qqsfnnh6v3dspqtnwv3e46aed5k3nypyfx2wtet92ekg9szt3hr9k4qwkngef since I started using it this past week. So much so, that I bought two more to send out with my next big orders! The next two people who purchase $200 or more worth of goods from my site get a free 14 oz jar of Great Ghee's grass-fed clarified butter!! But, there's a catch 😉 The order MUST be paid in sats and the order MUST include a cutting board. A great cook deserves a great board and nostr:nprofile1qyu8wumn8ghj7mrfva58gmnfdenjucn9de3ksmmywfhkve3wvdhk6tmwdaehgunrd35k2mn59ashq6f0wccj7un9d3shjqg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgknqvewv3hhyctxv93hgmmj0yhx7un8qqsfnnh6v3dspqtnwv3e46aed5k3nypyfx2wtet92ekg9szt3hr9k4qwkngef https://thewoodmine.com https://greatghee.com #circulareconomy #earnsats #tonightsdinner

I mine in an area where rates are over 20 cents/ kWh. How? Why? I USE THE HEAT & YOU CAN TOO Heat re-use entirely changes the economic calculus for home mining. Maybe you don't have a bunch of lumber you need to dry, but it's about to be winter in the northern hemisphere and many people still use electric space heaters. Support the network, hash for heat #heatpunks #heatreuse ----------- Okay, that ⬆️ was nice and all, but now for the more nuanced part of the discussion. I was at Home Depot the other day and saw 1000+Watt electric space heaters selling for under $50 - similar powered miners are around $1000, such as the Avalon mini 3. An 800 watt device that will give you just under 40 Th/s Will anybody who isn't a fanatic spend $1000 upfront to get back 1 or 2 dollars a day on their electric rate? It would take years of rewards for this to make sense to the average consumer. Not to mention that their share of the rewards will continuously go down as the difficulty goes higher and higher. If we want to have a miner in every home, which I do, then we have to keep working. I'm inspired by the work that goes on here: https://256foundation.org These guys have a number of ongoing projects all aimed at decentralizing and dismantling the proprietary mining empire. Consider looking into their work and supporting if you can. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, every bit helps. For example, I have a bitaxe solo mining in their direction. #keepworking #dismantletheproprietaryminingempire #opensource

Yo nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj76rfwd6zumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpquzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usvvw6ma You make some damn fine pecan butter 🤤 The quality of the ingredients is obvious from the first bite. That's what I love about everyone slangin' goods here on nostr. We want people to pay us in the best money so we naturally strive to make the best product withs the best materials. 🍻 #hodlbutter #circulareconomy

GM nostr, I had the opportunity last night to go to nostr:nprofile1qqstvj22wngc5t0687qvak06mt34spm3dl8pqu0ymcv7946xkmv8vpsmsrsqx for the nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7v33d9jx2ctn9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdacx2mngdahkvepwdekqqgyl2x6e7a0ytka0a8l5rleqe3v8qrfmkese0aul7rcef2mhte7r5gcn0uaj pop up and.... holy shit his food is phenomenal! If any of you ever have the chance to go to a http://www.chichen.studio pop-up DO IT. Don't hesitate and travel a bit if you have to. We ordered most of the menu to get a good sampling and while we were impressed with everything the chicharron was the best I've ever had and the scallion pancakes had to be near or at the top as well 🤤 🤝 🍻 nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7v33d9jx2ctn9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdacx2mngdahkvepwdekqqgyl2x6e7a0ytka0a8l5rleqe3v8qrfmkese0aul7rcef2mhte7r5gcn0uaj
