IT & Telecom the Backbone of the Bitcoin Network In this episode Jon talks with IT expert @SalGood HODL about the backbone of the Bitcoin network, the global telecommunications network. Jon and Sal cover the history of telecommunications and information technology and its journey from telegraph to the infinitesimally complicated network of fiber, copper/aluminum, and satellites that comprise the internet. They discuss the organizations the govern or run the internet like: ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) a non-profit based in California, IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) run/owned by ICANN who are responsible for allocation of IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers, root domain name system and top-level domains. Jon & Sal describe the Regional Internet Registry. They are the 5 regional organizations around the globe that facilitate the allocation of IP addresses and ASNs to local registries and ISPs. RIRs are independent of ICANN and supervised/guided by the Number Resource Organization, which is an unincorporated international organization. The 3-Tier ISP system is covered by Sal. The 3-Tier ISP system consists of Tier I — backbone providers who own/operate high speed/bandwidth, multi-continent networks, transoceanic cabling and do not pay or charge data transit fees with their like-peers. Tier 2 — Typically regional/national ISPs pay for transit and peering with tier I and tier 2 providers, customers are typically large organizations and tier 3 ISPs. Tier 3 — Primarily engaged in providing Internet access to consumers and businesses in localized areas, they pay access and transit from tier 2 providers. IPv4 address space are described. An IPV4 looks like AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD where each block can be a number between 0-255 there are 232 total addresses, roughly 4.2 billion addresses. Nearly 600 million are reserved, so about 3.7 billion usable on the Internet and nearly 100% are already allocated globally. The IPv6 address space looks very complex. It uses hexadecimal notation 0-9+A-F, blocks of zeros can be omitted 2 28 total addresses. If you assumed each star had 10 planets, each galaxy had 100 billion stars, and the universe had 100 billion galaxies, there would be roughly 3.4 quadrillion (1000 trillion's) IPv6 addresses for each planet. What makes the Internet? Layers like in a cake or maybe the Taco Bell 7-Layer Burrito. l . TCP/IP Model — Less complex than OSI l. Network Connection Layer 2, Internet Layer 3. Transport Layer 4, Application Layer 2. OSI Model — 7 layers, breaks TCP/IP layers into more parts l. Network Connection Layer —+ Physical layer and Data Link Layer Internet Layer —9 Network Layer Transport Layer —+ Transport, Session and Presentation Layers 4, Application Layer —+ Application Layer Sal describes how systems and applications communicate by laying out the Application Layer Protocols. Like spoken languages, these protocols have grammar rules; a vocabulary that create standards to convey meaning between parties. Different protocols are optimized for purpose specific communications. Bitcoin is protocol optimized for secure communication of value between parties.

#HashTheTorch My first foray into mining was sometime in late 2011/2012. At that time Bitcoin Core had mining functionality and mining on a PC was relatively simple. I didn’t take the time to truly understand Bitcoin then. Me being an intensely paranoid individual was distrusting of this software using my computer’s GPU to solve an algorithm, didn’t read the white paper and didn’t join any chat rooms or social networks to connect with others involved in Bitcoin. I regrettably uninstalled the software not to return to Bitcoin until 2017 and not to mine again until 2019, couldn’t even tell you if I am responsible for some orphaned Bitcoin. In those 8 years we had 3 kids but let something like 450,000 block slip past me. That’s okay, I don’t cry myself to sleep every night because of regret, anymore. I have a nice mining setup now and I don’t consider it healthy the live a life of regret. I can reflect though. Perhaps I should have joined one of those Bitcoin Nerd channels. I never had social media before Twitter, maybe I should’ve or at the very least done my research. So, what’s my point here? As the poet, John Donne wrote, “No Man is an Island, Entire of Itself. Every man is a piece of the continent. A part of the main.” And although I don’t live my life regretting past decisions, I can learn from them. It wasn’t until I left that island or at least connected it to the main, that I learned the true nature of Bitcoin and its unique properties. It wasn’t until I began to research and read articles written by so many hard-working Plebs who were willing to pass on the torch of knowledge to others that I finally understood this technology we revere. And it wasn’t until further study that I realized my place within it, was mining. By then the S9 was a couple of years old and it wasn’t difficult to find one. I learned a lot over the next couple of years about mining. I quite enjoyed the experience and by 2021 I had 6 S9s running in my garage. Like many at that time, I saw the China exodus as a good time to upgrade my setup. I acquired 5 s19 and am now up to 6. Now what to do with those S9s I had laying around? I suppose I could have sold them, but I was busy tinkering with my home heating projects and working… and of course, numbing my mind by bullshitting with all of you on Twitter. I decided I’m going to give some machines away. I gave 2 S9s to my partner at work. I have been orange pilling him for years and HE thought it would be fun to dip his toes into mining, the heat reuse case was a big draw for him. The joy I felt when he showed me his mining setup was exciting. It was the perfect situation for him, a mechanic and a farmer, mining suited his skill set. I later sent a machine to a friend in Texas that was at risk of losing his job over vax mandates and I thought maybe the machine could help him out. That’s about the time I became more vocal on Twitter and the Telegram groups… and began answering simple home-mining questions. I prefer to just communicate on DM’s regarding mining rather than wade through the string of backlogged Telegram messages. In discussions with Plebs, I always felt myself saying, “well I’ll send you an S9 and you can mess around with it and find out if you like home mining or have an interest in it.” “Then once you learn you can send it back or because shipping is so much just hand it off to someone else.” I’m not unique in this, I’ve seen the generosity in the mining community, truly some of the best people are in mining, especially Pleb Miners. I had the idea to call it HashTheTorch, seemed like a fun name for what everyone was doing. I gave another S9 away to a buddy of mine who is a machinist and was helping me out with my immersion project. This HashingTheTorch is fun. I saw Barnminer making strides in the same direction as well with his S9 lending program at local meetups, which certainly solves the shipping dilemma. It kind of all hit me at that point, The No Man is an Island concept, the connected decentralized network concept, the Plebs helping Plebs idea. Don’t let someone just up and quit on Bitcoin without understanding it as I did in over a decade ago. HashTheTorch of knowledge, HashTheTorch are these machines that don’t mean much to us beyond being able to offload them for a few bucks, or holding for whatever reason. When Max and I came up with the idea of PlebMinerMonth it was just supposed to be a few pods with cool Pleb miners, a few Bitesize Bitcoins, and FUD Busters, and a couple of articles to give Plebs another resource to get into mining. It quickly morphed into what it is today and is developing a life of its own. One of the biggest surprises, (though I shouldn’t be surprised given the quality of Plebs in the mining community) was the outpouring of support from other miners who too wanted to pass the torch. We’re early in the first iteration of PlebMinerMonth and we already have 10 machines to give away. So many miners are offering not only HashTheTorch of unused

3D printing parts for Bitcoin mining with @ZuccThis What's up guys? zucc_this here with another byte-sized bitcoin. Lets get right into it and talk about 3d printing and how it can be leveraged for home mining and general individual sovereignty. To start I'd like to make a comparison of home 3d printing to bitcoin. One aspect of bitcoin that makes it a powerful tool for the sovereign individual is its' ability to dis-intermediate the traditional financial system. Likewise, 3d printing is a way to side-step the legacy plastics manufacturing industry. Typically plastic goods are made with injection moulding ñ an expensive process that really only makes sense at scale. Injection moulding still has its place, but 3d printing allows you to print nearly anything you can dream up at home. Of course, there are engineering and practical limitations. These days you can get an Ender 3 3d printer that works fairly well for 200 USD on Amazon. For the more serious mining pleb $1000 can get you a Prusa which is a workhorse that will run day after day and produce amazing results. The most obvious application for home Bitcoin mining is in producing fan shrouds. For most in-home ASIC installs we need to direct the heat somewhere. I measured the temp in the duct from my Whatsminer maybe 6 feet from the duct and had 140∞ F. Bitcoin ASICs are primarily designed to be run at scale in mining farms where heat mitigation is handled MUCH differently than we do at home. There are many clever individuals out they're doing cool shit with their excess heat but the most simple method (though not always easy) is to duct the heat outside or into an existing HVAC system. To go from the miner to an HVAC duct you need a shroud or fan adapter that goes between the exhaust fan and the duct. These are easily printed by most consumer grade machines in PETG. Iím not even gonna try to pronounce its actual chemical name but suffice to say this is a material than can withstand the heat from the miner. There are several resources out there that offer up the files for MicroBT and Bitmain ASICS for free. In my personal setup I had to add a couple fans for the PSU on the intake side to keep things cool, and with a little CAD and 3d printing I was able to design brackets to get the airflow exactly where I need it. I also designed and printed a hold/cold side barrier the helps keep cool airflow where it needs to be. With winter coming I also need to re-design my ducting that leads to the cold air return duct in my furnace. Last winter I was able to heat my home entirely with 2 M30s Whatsminers. I have an average size 2 story home in the frozen north of the US where itís not uncommon to see sub-zero temps. My new duct setup will need some funky duct adapters and bends due to the layout of my basement. This is where 3d printing and the ability to CAD really shines. Most of these home mining setups are quite unique and there aren't many cookie cutter solutions that work out of the box. I've also seen some pretty interesting usage of 3d printing in immersion setups. That said, the sky REALLY is the limit. Aside from Bitcoin mining projects having the ability to 3d print and design things for myself has been an absolute game changer. I've been able to repair many things around the house that would normally get tossed ñ this helps justify the mini-print farm I have going to my wife. I also have a focus on 3d printed firearms. If code is free speech how do we protect our right to speech? In a world of ever increasing gun control the work by 3d printed gun devs is invaluable. Will Bitcoin alone take down ñ or at least scale back ñ the state? I don't think so. Will 3d printed firearms stop authoritarians from authoritarian shit? Nah. Much like Bitcoin, 3d printing is a tool that is accessible to ANYONE who is seeking to carve out a little freedom for themselves. Use the tools. Later. If you have any questions please reach out.

Rust Belt Home Miners In this episode Jon travels to a rural part of the Rust Belt, USA to interview Pleb Miner BingBong_BTC. BingBong is not only a home miner, but a heat wrangler, harnessing the waste heat created by his machines. Meeting fellow Plebs face to face carries significant importance, especially when a nym is willing to not only sit down and discuss Bitcoin, but to invite you into his home, show you his mining and privacy setups, and treat you like an honored guest. BingBong entered the Bitcoin arena though friends, interested in all things “crypto” , it didn’t take long for him to realize there is only one. He obtained sats through the normal KYC channels like Swan, but once again a quick learner, understood the necessity in seeking KYC free options. The Samourai team was an inspiration and building a Ronin dojo was the logical next step. Brother Rabbit and Q & A were of help during his journey. Mining seemed like the logical next step on the Bitcoin journey to enlightenment. First with dreams of mining that sweet corn, he later grew to a greater understanding and took meaning in understanding mining’s role in the Bitcoin network. With the aid of guides from the likes of EconoAlchemist and Diverter, BingBong developed the knowledge and confidence necessary to mine. He purchased his first machines from MineFarmBuy and was underway. He and his partner learned the lessons needed to mitigate heat as well as others and were hooked. After ordering more machines they attempted a build inspired by EconoAlchemist he calls the “Hash Hut”. The Hash Hut. The Hash BingBong built in an enclosure comprised of a baker’s rack encased in foam board. The bottom of the enclosure is open to take in filtered air into the machines which are placed vertically. The intake and exhaust of the machines is separated by a barrier so as not to recirculate the waste heat. The entirety of the airflow is then directed outside via an attic fan. BingBong can lower the power of his exhaust fan to allow his two 6’ take offs at the top of the hut connected to inline fans to direct heat to where it is needed.

The month of September is dedicated to pleb miners who will not unplug nor comply. The backbone of the bitcoin network, dedicated to decentralisation and freedom. I had the pleasure of speaking with Michael Schmid about home mining and getting paid to take showers. Michael has been finding innovative ways to use the waste heat created from mining to his advantage. We talked about his original set up, running miners to heat his vintage airstream caravan and how his set up at home allows for hot showers and a stream of sats after Replacing his water heater miners.

The month of September is dedicated to pleb miners who will not unplug nor comply. The backbone of the bitcoin network, dedicated to decentralisation and freedom. Today I caught up with Diverter, the godfather of Pleb mining to talk about mining for the streets and why it’s more relevant now than ever. Here’s the opening paragraphs to jog your memory in case you have forgotten. Don’t fall victim to the narrative pushers that would have you believe mining is “too hard”, “too expensive”, or “better left to the big players”. Sounds an awful lot like the same thing bankers and governments tell the masses about fiat money and economics now, doesn’t it? For years the narrative that has been pushed regarding Bitcoin mining is that it’s a fool’s game, better left to the professional mining farms and big players due to shrinking profitability. This guide aims to show that this is overly simplistic and narrow-minded in its view. In fact, as ways to acquire BTC without going through the dangerous KYC/AML verification process shrink, mining becomes more and more intriguing for the average user. By having the ability to create an account with no real verification required, you can simply hook up ASIC miners, plug them into a mining pool, and begin receiving payouts for your provided hashpower directly into your personally controlled Bitcoin wallet without providing any KYC/AML identifying data to be scraped.

Pleb Miner Redux – What is a Bitcoin Miner. The month of September is dedicated to pleb miners who will not unplug nor comply. The backbone of the bitcoin network, dedicated to decentralisation and freedom. To kick things off @JonPDiGiacomo explains - what is a pleb miner…… “Who and What is a Pleb Miner” The original Bitcoin miner, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Genesis Block with a reward of 50 Bitcoin, Bitcoin that can’t be spent as the Genesis Block is hardcoded into new nodes as the root of the blockchain. The signature of his mining was later analyzed by Sergio Lerner. He dubbed Satoshi’s miner as Patoshi and its signature as the “Patoshi Pattern”. The technique that Lerner used determined that Patoshi hashed a different set range of nonces. This behavior created a unique saw pattern in nonce data analysis. It’s estimated that he had up to 48 CPUs mining with another controlling the operation and/or on standby to protect against a 51% attack. Satoshi mined solo until he invited Hal Finney and Martti Malmi to join the network. Famously on January 10, 2009, at 10:33 PM, Hal Finney was “Runnin’ Bitcoin”. Soon others joined in. It’s fascinating to look back at those first blocks: difficulty of 1, block reward 50 BTC, the delicate balance of the 10-minute mark not quite there yet. In reviewing this short Bitcoin history lesson, we bring light to the fact that Satoshi wasn’t running a giant mining operation with a cool name, a board with multiple investors, and billions in capital expenditures. He was possibly a guy in his basement or garage that he considered his lab. He shared the code with associates he knew online. Their goal was to discover blocks and secure the network. He mined because he was passionate about the innovation that he built. He was the original miner, he was a Pleb Miner. Sometime in May of 2010, Satoshi turned off the Patoshi miner, confident that he had passed the torch on to the next generation of miners…….. Link to full article bellow.

During the last bitcoin monthly I recorded with brother Rabbit and Antomous. we discussed Border wallets after listening to an incredible talk by MTC. I just had to get the exclusive with MTC who has teamed up with superphatarrow to create border wallets, a system to help users store private keys in their head allowing them to cross borders undetected and protected from attackers. Many people across the globe have to flee their countries to escape from war stricken countries or dictatorships. Many other users need to escape domestic violence or natural disaster, the system that MTC has come up with makes it possible for anyone to take their wealth with them even if they have nothing else. It is also very useful for inheritance planning and I just love how creative users can get with this. As always it was a pleasure speaking to MTC and I’d advise anyone listening to check this project out and if you find it of use I’d also urge anyone listening to consider donating to keep the project going. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.

Bitcoin monthly 0018 In this episode of bitcoin monthly I sat down in a field with @antomousB and @BrotherRabbit_ we talked about the bitcoin beach retreat as well as the monthly updates including security vulnerabilities and the shit show that is compass mining. It was such an amazing time being away around other bitcoiners in the sunshine. It was a great reminder what this movement is all about, to me it’s not just about bitcoin mooning but meeting other like-minded freedom loving individuals who can work together And create the world we wish to see. We also discussed podcasting 2.0 and different ways to support free and open source software, I think it’s a really important topic as this is the way we move forward. There were some incredible talks at the retreat including one on multi Sig from @nwoodfine another from @GhostOfMtc on memorising seed words I really hope you enjoy the show.

Mining Bitcoin and swimming in sats I had the pleasure of speaking to Tech Engineer a bitcoin mining pleb who has built a fully functional swimming pool heating system using bitcoin miners, immersion tanks and automation to thermostatically control everything. Tech engineers focus is on privacy, security and the ability to double spend energy to heat while mining Bitcoin. In this episode we discus Tech’s rabbit hole journey and why mining was so interesting for him, we also discussed the need for decentralising the network and helping smaller miners compete by using the heat produced by mining for something productive. I really enjoyed speaking to Tech and I hope you enjoy listening. I have decided to also add transcripts at the bottom of the show notes as some people have told me this would be useful.

Um I try and find always people who are doing interesting things and not just the usual podcast circuit and I came across your profile and saw your video you'd done um on this immersion tank and. Pool heating and is something I discussed ages ago with a mate of mine a mate like me with no technical ability and it was just like a thing we talked about but we're too dumb to actually do it. We're like fuck. Someone's got to do this. This is something that's got to happen just makes so much sense and when I saw yours I was like fuck I just need to speak to you and. 01:25.59 TechEngineer And. 01:44.12 maxbuybit1 You know, find a little bit more out because this is the future. It's fucking cool. 01:51.23 TechEngineer So right on man. Yeah, let's let's talk about it. 01:59.56 maxbuybit1 So Yeah I mean um, less so we can do rabbit hole stuff later On. Let's just dive straight in with with what you've been doing Obviously I've seen the video but. For anyone who hasn't can you sort of describe the project and and and what made you decide to do it. 02:33.79 TechEngineer Yeah, absolutely so let me start with a little background. Um back in 2017 was when I kind of went down the bitcoin rabbit hole. It was November of None I heard on the radio bitcoin cross $10000 and I was like. What is going on with this. Um and I was I was instantly intrigued and wanted to look into it more and immediately was drawn to the technology aspect of it and the mining aspect of it. Um. So I started looking into mining and at that time. Ah the miners went up in cost dramatically kind of similar to what happened in 20202021 and I tried to put to order a miner and it. It got delayed and that eventually just never shipped. Um, but there it so it was ah an it was an expensive endeavor for me to get into but I was still very interested. But at the time I knew like I was living in Colorado and I wanted to somehow use the heat that was. Being put off of these devices because I knew they put just put out a ton of heat. So that time I was thinking well maybe I'll just put in my basement and ducked something up to my upstairs long story short. It never ended up up working out just because the miner never showed up and then um. Price kind of dumped and then we went into a bear market and the profitability equation changed and I just decided that I just couldn't I didn't get into it at that time but that kind of built in the back of my mind like. 05:54.36 maxbuybit1 Here. 06:16.35 TechEngineer Want to mine. It's important for the bitcoin ecosystem for mining to be very decentralized but we need some sort of other factor that helps it be more productive to like a home miner so hard using the heat was in my mind. So fast forward to 2021? Um I finally decided you know what I need to just take the plunge here and start building a heater out of a minor so I don't know if you saw my original video but it was a a minor that I put inside of a box. And then aducted into my hvac system my heater my the heater in my house and then I put in some dampers and thermostatically controlled the airflow from the heater from the from the miner into my heater. So I basically he did my entire house all winter using using this system. So I'm I'm guessing you haven't seen that one I

Hello Ungovernable Misfits I hope are ready for something electrifying… like …electricity. There are a plenty of heady concepts and analogies to convey the process of mining and proof of work, like the transmutation of energy, storing energy in time, or how Bitcoin is money as stored energy, I’ll leave those metaphors to the thinkbois. Here, we’ll cover some basic concepts and terminology related to electricity to gain a better understanding of the process of mining. Because with out electricity, we’re left to hashing with pencil and paper. In this iteration of Bitesize Bitcoin, we’ll define Voltage, Current, and Power and how we can solve for them using Joule’s Law. We will define Work… Watts, and Joules …and the first Law of Thermodynamics. Our guest today @JonPDiGiacomo is here with his daughters to explain in plain language. Jon has been on the show previously and become a good friend. Listen out for more episodes to come.

Hash Rate, Chain Work,Chain Rewrite Days, Annual Mining Revenue, Difficulty, Difficulty Epoch, Last Difficulty Change, Block Time, Estimated Difficulty Change, Block Time,Block Subsidy, Subsidy Epoch, Blocks to Halving, Halving Estimate or Predicted Next Block.

Todays FUD - Mining bitcoin at home is not profitable. To mine, or not to mine, that is the question. Many people will tell you its best just to buy Bitcoin and its all much more hassle than it's worth. As with most things in this world, just because most people say it does not make it true. Its in some peoples best interest to dissuade users from mining but I believe it is well worth while for many. Our guest today @econoalchemist also does not agree with the narrative and would like to bust that FUD.
