We are pleased to support bitcoINdiana with their new website at

Merchants | bitcoINdiana

A map of merchants that accept Bitcoin.

They are serving bitcoin by bringing attention to Indiana Bitcoin Merchants and Meetups.

While we focus on building and selling refurbished bitcoin nodes, we also have a few Bitaxe miners. We adore the 256 Foundation and what they are doing to decentralize and open source bitcoin mining solutions. Today is their third Telehash fundraiser (https://dash.256f.org/). If you have a miner and wish to donate some hashpower to them today, point them to... - stratum+tcp://pool.256foundation.org:3333 - your_npub.bitaxe-1 One nice feature is that you can make your username your npub.

Primal v2.6.33 on iOS v18.7.2 crashes after about 12 seconds after opening. Are others also having issues? FYI: @primal #primal

Bitcoin meetup day is often the best day of each month. It’s so rewarding to meet and visit with other like minded peers to discuss ₿. If you have a nearby meetup, try to attend. We have two regulars who drive 1.5 hours most months. If you don’t have a nearby meetup, consider starting one. Pick a consistent time and location that you can reliably attend. Make all who attend feel welcome and included. Focus all discussions on bitcoin to not waste their time (it’s why they came).

Do you know what refurbished bitcoin nodes do differently than brand new nodes? Nothing. They still… - download new blocks every ~10 minutes - replicate 17-years of history to any other node that asks - keeps ₿ decentralized - keeps ₿ distributed

How a self-sovereign bitcoiner feels when they setup their first self-hosted bitcoin node. If you haven’t done so yet, consider finding a way to start(9) serving bitcoin.

Welcome to Cloudflare's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.

Good morning Nostr. While our servingbitcoin.com website is flapping (because we self host and secure it via Cloudfare Tunnels), our nodes are up and working. If you run a bitcoin node, you should be unaffected (at least locally on your LAN) from this Cloudflare distribution in service. We are still serving bitcoin (but servingbitc

GM. We’re looking forward to serving up some bitcoin today.

We wonder how many bitcoiners stamp their 12 or 24 BIP39 recovery words onto gold bars to finally give them an intrinsic value.

Should Serving Bitcoin also build ETH nodes? 🚫 Yes ✅ No Bitcoin's blockchain requires ~800 GB (~17 years of TX history). Ethereum's blockchain requires ~15 TB (~10 years of TX history). By keeping requirements low, Bitcoin remains more decentralized and sustainable.

Every online service that has existing user accounts should do the following: - automatically create a Nostr public and private key for the existing account - provide these automatically generated values in the user profile - provide the ability for the user to replace these values with a Nostr identity of their own - provide the ability for the user to add (as an alias) a Nostr identity of their own Thoughts?
