My parents were looking through pictures together with my wife to find how much I look like our baby Otis. They ran across this golden oldie. They told me I was always interested in computers from day one, jep fiddled with them a lot from a very young age…

Because of different priorities we were not able to visit BTC Prague. We decided Otis SHA (anagram for Satoshi) was not yet ready for a conference. By coincidence I was spotted at the conference by bufo who send me a clip of @alana dirtycoindoc teaser showing at the main hall. Thank you for all the support for our son we received over the past weeks. Even a legacy address was created by bitkassa which is one of the most interesting presents. The address is a legacy segwit 1otis26mGhLpjuS8Dfoiwz119gsVFSnJ4 and will be stored until he is an adult. We trust @Patrick van der Meijde doesn’t still hold the private key 😉 in this case we trust 🙏 curious if someone has any open source guide on creating addresses like this? Drop your best guide 👇

Old beasts back for sale. We ran out of PSUs that accompany the classic hash king. Now that we are restocked you can order your bitcoin learning experience directly on our website and will be hashing soon. https://bitcoinbrabant.com/product/miner-s9/

Went shopping on the bitcoin standard today. Went for ice cream, lunch, bought some shoes for Otis Sha and got a present for my brother in law at woarst. The shop you see below is real low time preference. When you visit bitcoin city Arnhem it’s a must.

The transparent #[1]​ jades are back in stock. This time they were marked 😉

The past two days we were at the Pentecost fair in Nistelrode. Because of the beautiful weather there were ~60k visitors. Many people saw bitcoin, our stall had bitcoin signs, miners roaring and many bitcoin books and signing devices, but did not engage. We have sold 1 Dutch bitcoin book to someone we didn’t know. And had some questions about bitcoin in general. Bitcoiners that came from many places throughout Belgium and the Netherlands enjoyed beers and chicken they bought with bitcoin. It was “gezellig” Houdoe en bedankt! Till next year🔥⚡️

Yesterday the new stock arrived, we’ve shipped out the orders for both #[2]​ passports and #[3]​ jades directly. The people that had the limited edition transparent in backorder have to wait a bit longer before they arrive, they are still on their way. If you want to receive a signing device rapidly in Europe, you can order with us directly via our website. We’ll make sure that we ship it to you asap. All data is deleted after shipment is finalized. If you have any questions regarding the products we are official reseller for, or you want to order to buy directly from us at meetups so there is no data trail, the next meetup we’ll be is the Amsterdam meetup on the 14th of June. Will wear an orange Bitcoin Brabant T-shirt.

Test setup for dynamic load balancing solar location. S19JPro 96 and S9 with Braiins firmware. Autonomous ecoswitch plugs with inserted break even price levels based on EPEX spot electricity prices. Working on dynamic load steering for optimal use.

GM PV it’s 4.30 and just paid the import costs for both #[1]​ Passports (15) and #[2]​ Jades (100 Black) flying in. They might be arriving soon 👀. If you have ordered a transparent jade, and you don’t have a couple more low time preference days, please let us know and we’ll change your order to a black one. Thank you for your patience. We have been out of stock for four full days now. Couldn’t have seen this coming unfortunately. Once we packed the backorders, we will show actual stock size again on our website.

It was a testing day once again. We need more open source software / firmware for this shit. I want to determine my wattage on my flexible electricity tariff Which goes negative more and more often so I get paid to consume electricity. Does anyone have any advice? Running home assistant with plugs that I can switch on and off based on tariff. Would love to see some open source work on wattage setting on either Vnish or Braiins based on tariff input. Mining output would be constantly optimal. Understand Lincoin Rails is building this, but are there example implementations we can use? Would love to test and improve. This would ensure no excess electricity is wasted. Currently we shut down solar and wind in the Netherlands to curtail. Let’s reduce that waste by load balancing with old miners.

If you don’t know if you can trust your signing device, verify it. View quoted note →

GM PV. Is PV still a thing here? Haven’t seen it in a while…

t’s been a hectic few days, also communicating with the people who did back orders with us. The book orders are still flowing through. We’re preparing shipments for the upcoming week. Didn’t expect this to happen in 2023. Apparently people start to understand monetary sovereignty more and more. This can only be achieved by having full control over your #bitcoin. Which means you need the right tools for it. Unfortunately these tools are not manufactured in Europe anymore. Until last week the european manufacturers had a market dominance of >90%. The new European mica legislation might have pushed these corporations into sharing client data and possible access to your bitcoin. The enormous backlash that the public statements gave, makes people directly ditch these European products and move towards Open Source | Air Gapped | Bitcoin Only products from the US. It’s sad to see europe has lost a multi billion $€ industry overnight.

Stock update: there are 15 out of 50 #[5]​ passports on it’s way. There are 100 #[6]​ jades on its way from the US and 100 jades on its way from Spain. The jades in Spain have been stuck at customs since the 5th of may. That’s why we decided to order another batch straight from the US. Currently we expect the batch from the US to arrive before the Spanish batch. The limited edition transparent ones (50) are in the Spanish shipment. Some plebs who have the transparent jade in backorder will be given the option to switch to black, if the US shipment indeed arrives earlier. We are expecting the shipments of both the passports and the jades within the next few days. You can back-order easily on our website and you’ll receive your device quicker than if you order directly with the vendor. This is due to large customs batches that we import via our so called EORI number we have as a business. There currently are plenty of passports and jades available because we only received a handful of back orders, which we totally understand. If you want to make sure you get a device within ~a week we would advise you to place a back order via our website. So we can prepack. Because we ordered plenty we are not expecting to run out so quickly anymore. Don’t forget we only accept #bitcoin  via @BtcpayServer and we’re still early. 🙏 everyone for the support.
