I get so much value from watching those I care about push their expertise in whatever their passions are. It was the strangest thing, even as a teenager, to be with someone who didn’t seem at all interested in striving for excellence in anything. I was young and horny, but still it didn’t last long; there was nothing there. At least be an expert in yourself? npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Just what I needed right now. I prepared some ground around each fruit tree with compost and mulch last weekend and need to get some seeds in the ground this weekend. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Pull up a finder window and hit command-F. Doesn’t get much simpler than that. If you’re dicking around in the UNIX subsystem and need to find the files there than run a locate command. I’m not understanding the issue here. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Free Community Movie Night:

I left engineering to work construction, remodeling distressed properties for resale or to rent. It has allowed me to directly use my labor to grow my wealth significantly. It also means it’s me or my employees handling ongoing maintenance. With the right use of leverage it also allows one to tap into the fiat money printer. While the money printer destroys lives and value, it exists, so I use it to my advantage. But I am constantly reevaluating each property and estimating where I think the real estate and BTC valuations are going, to see when it makes sense to exit a property and move that equity into BTC. I do throw all rental profits into BTC. And so selling a property takes into account decreased ongoing savings opportunities vs a one time equity injection into my cold storage from the sale. In many ways I’m with you, I’d love to see the monetization of a deteriorating asset end. But with the way money is created today, it still makes sense for me to tap into that printer as close to the source as possible. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab None of the big names are worth a damn. As a tradesmen, I can’t get a pair to last more than 10 months. Most didn’t make it 6. Try some of the smaller handmade outfits. I use JK boots, but I’ve heard Nicks is great too. Both out of Spokane Valley, WA. You’ll be into a pair of boots for $600+ but you’ll get years out of them instead of months. No affiliation but an extremely happy customer. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Reserve requirements were set to 0% years ago. The assumption of a 10% reserve is no longer the case. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Cause I got a new plucker and now I’ve got a freezer to fill. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Clearly he understands that the reward he will receive will likely not keep up with inflation. 🤣 npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab The Pontiac Vibe of the early 2000s was also known as the Toyota Matrix. Does that have the same matrix to you? npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I just obliterated 268 Nostr zombies from orbit using the NUCLEAR OPTION in #PlebsVsZombies! ☢️🧟♂️🧟♀️ 💀 MAXIMUM CARNAGE ACHIEVED! 💀 My Zombie Score™ was 46%!

In my case, (Oregon), I’d be screwed worse, but if it brings more freedom to more people I’ll support it. But I’d take it farther: Governments, of any form, should be abolished and sovereignty returned to the individual, so people can better represent their interests. Bitcoin lets anyone be their own bank in a way that was too much of a challenge with fiat or gold. What technology allows us to be our own sovereign? npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I did check the comments (half the amusement on any “serious” video) but didn’t check the screenames of them. I also figured anyone on Nostr already sees the BTC value, but I had sent the video on to my girlfriend who is earlier in her financial education journey and added that caveat, so figured I’d post it here too. Good find. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Good until it states categorically that there is no third option beyond private banks or public banks.

But at the end of the day I live in and have expenses in a fiat world and I’d rather pay those with leverage against an appreciating asset I control through trust than to sell that asset and not profit from its appreciation. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Love your loan product. It allows me to save in bitcoin and live the life I desire and that makes sense to me. - Income goes to acquire an asset with huge growth potential. - Expenses are charged against debt on that asset expressed in a collapsing fiat. - Requires a stack large enough to maintain a comfortable buffer to cover downturns. But if that buffer drops too small, I’m fully collateralized and can liquidate assets to pay off debt at a 4:3 ratio. - Debt load is kept under asset growth (due to stack size and ongoing income). Result is I maximize the BTC I acquire, my net wealth grows faster then my fully collateralized debt, and I provide stability to cover my expenses despite a highly variable income. Looking forward to the line of credit options to make this process even smoother. I don’t understand the hate. This is the end game product I’ve been waiting for. My biggest risk out of my control is that portion of my stack that is held by Strike and over-collateralized beyond my debt load. But you can’t find fiat financing partners without that. So I have to trust that Strike maintains proof of reserves for BTC held without re-hypothecating. I wonder if there would be a way to provide a signed on chain address for BTC on a loan to know Strike has the keys to that address and that the collateralized BTC is not touched during the life of the loan. Regardless, keep up the good work. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab *drool* npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Well now you’ve got my attention, I’ve got to go track down your music and see how awesome you are! 😏 When I’m in a place I can afford to make noise anyway. I’d get strange looks playing music right here. Guess I’ll go look at pretty pictures on Instagram and browse your thoughts on Nostr. 😆 npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab 😁 *sigh* I loved her character and everything she had to say. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Really, there’s a wet paint sign on the bench. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Like with communism, those previous implementations just didn’t do it the right way. This next one will work out right, cause the right people are involved. 🙄 npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Dan is stuck in the idea that it’s not what you do and the value it brings to others that is important, but it’s more important who you know. This is what happens when you build your world on trust and faith instead of truth and verification. Bitcoin doesn’t care. It’s a unique technology in that we benefit when our enemies use it, as we benefit when our friends use it. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab “White pill moment” when you realize you can only change things within your sphere of control, but learning some of the truth about the world but having overcome the despair for changing the world you find happiness with improvements to your own life and peace by providing an insulating buffer from those aspects of concern outside of your control. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab 🌱 Free Screening: Living Soil: A Documentary Join us, at White Horse Farm (Yamhill, OR) for a community screening of Living Soil: A Documentary.

Been waiting for this. Now the question is can I integrate it with QuickBooks payroll and do away with using my bank account just keep a mix of dollars and BTC loans paired with cold storage for my business. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab The quintessential HFSP npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Why would you want to plug it back in? Leave it uplugged. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab In English the x at the end of a word is almost always a /ks/ pronunciation. The rare exception is a silent x. The anglophone reading dix written on a French issued monetary note is likely to pronounce it with a hard x, as in fix or exam. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I think, for a while, I need to set this as my wallpaper. To remind me not to burn too much. Warm the edges of my time occasionally, but not let it burn. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab And yet for a time, a large part of this country did price things in “dix”s (pronounced in English as dicks) as one of several privately issued currencies in common usage and from when we get the Southern region of Dixie. Although ironically given your conversation with a French speaker, these notes were issued by a bank in New Orleans, where they spoke French. “dix” being French for 10 (although pronounced dis). npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab The last one I sold was a higher end home in a smaller town so not the best representation. But some of my investor friends have had entry or mid level homes sitting on the market a lot longer than they were expecting, or having to make more concessions to buyers. So things have been shifting slowly in the last year. But Portland metro is still appreciating 0.4% a year and out where I am is typically a touch better. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Took me a second to realize you weren’t talking about Bitcoin buyers and sellers. I read the to level headline, and looked at the graph and started wondering why so many were selling their BTC. Then realized it was the other business I’m in, building and selling homes. I’m only a small time builder, so I can do a little to rise above the general market by offering a better value product, but the overall trend is still concerning. I don’t want to get stuck with building in areas with plummeting demand. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab 🌱 Big News for Local Homesteaders! 🌱 Nick Ferguson — renowned permaculture designer, agroforestry expert, and the voice behind HomeGrownLiberty.comand RarePlantStore.com — is likely coming to consult on my farm as part of his Great American Tour: Summer 2025.

I barely missed Zach doing a live tour out here a couple years ago. Found out about it the week after it happened. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Live version. Usually attending the Monday sessions. You doing live as well? npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Hey I’m taking that course too right now. I also live 10 min from Tabula Rasa Farms! Hearing about their success has greatly influenced what I want to do with my property. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I’m at the invoice step too. I build and sell houses on spec, so have no invoicing as there is already way too much paperwork on a real estate transaction and none have happened in the last 90 days. (The first invoice request didn’t have a timeline so I submitted invoices from a side remodel I did 4 years ago). With the large cash reserves real estate development requires and Strike’s seamless transition between $ and BTC and the potential for ACH bill pay against that, I’ve been hoping to transition further out of my traditional bank account. But I can’t run a business from a cold wallet, so Strike seemed promising. I’m hoping that I can generate a few invoices for a couple side remodel pieces going on now, but Strike is significantly lacking in the descriptive requirements department. I don’t know what they want the invoices for nor how many such that I can make some make sense. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Not saying don’t build one yourself, but these guys have a great selection and many all metal options. It’s where I source a lot of my HVAC stuff for my builds when my local supply houses & hardware stores fall through. Doesn’t hurt that I build in their 1-day shipping radius. https://hvacquick.com/search.php?q=Dryer+Exhaust+Caps&x=35&y=17 npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Thank you, thank you, thank you. I keep wanting to incorporate one in our remodel of our main living space. But I’ve struggled to find one that stylistically would work in our mid 90s house. Not only is this one a little different than many, the big wall section now has me considering how the thermal mass could be along a vertical surface. While heat rises , a radiating mass does so in all directions and maybe there are ways to take advantage of that. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab This is perfect timing, I saw that we got the heart in our share that we picked up this week. No idea what to do with it yet. So I hope folks get you some ideas. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab But we get the ritual of electing our Lords, that makes it so much better, right? Right? npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Forgive the ignorance, but why not? I haven’t set up anything with multisig, but do use electrum with my bitbox so I’m wondering what the issue is. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab A dollar ain’t what it used to be. Need to stretch and bump that up to $1.25! npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Because the workforce that he needs is in the US. For as shit as our secondary and non-STEM undergraduate education system is in this country, an American post-graduate degree is still an aspiration for many of those foreigners. According to the NSF, data from last decade, 3/4 of those receiving PhDs remain in this country and secure H1B visas to work here. Anecdotal evidence from folks I know currently going through PhD programs (physics and engineering) is that roughly 2% are Caucasian Americans. Most of the rest are foreigners. We simply don’t have enough people with an interest in becoming scientists and engineers to create the workforce that our more advantageous business environment demands to develop technical solutions. When a foreigner has a 5-8 year track record (or longer as many do undergraduate degrees in the US as well) of living in this country, adapting to our ways and putting in the effort to receive a degree, why should we not allow them to work for a US company instead of exporting that sort of drive and education? Especially when it is lacking in so many of the young engineers born in this country. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab If only for a day because you won’t normally eat it for breakfast?

I know plenty of successful people that don’t fall into that. I think of myself as successful and don’t fit those criteria, yet I have a life that provides everything I need, and my family wants for nothing. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab This was quite poignant last night, where a friend was signing off lamenting the upcoming workday just as I felt my own emotions start to get excited about what was in store for my regular Monday today. I think I made some good choices in my design. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab So as a small scale builder, doing both speculative remodels or small development new construction headed straight to the real estate market, how else can I gear my products to be built with a better eye to the long term? My biggest things so far have been to geek out on the building science aspects and try to build the tightest, sturdiest envelope I reasonably can, as well as aiming for no or low maintenance exterior surfaces. I’ll have to think how to incorporate your points about density of design. I’d also love to put in the raw infrastructure for making the home pay for itself if I can find a way to do so that isn’t cost prohibitive when I don’t have the buy in of the final buyer. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab The great non-state of Spirkonia! npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab And at that moment I didn’t like either option, cause they didn’t fit “my” character and I stopped playing. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab People still use dryer sheets?

That’s a tiny hand! npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Most of this will likely get added to the duck coop bedding or mixed in with the horse compost (we generate about 100yds a year after settling) so by the time it’s being added to our gardens and fields it will have gone through a compost cycle. Some of it will be used un-inoculated as a feed supplement freely available to the ducks. So I will only have a small amount going into next years seed starting mix that I will need to find a way to inoculate. I’ve been considering finding a way to pump duck pond water through it, if it’s not so fine it will just wash out. I think that is life rich enough to work as an inoculated. But I’m guessing there. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Biochar burn this weekend. I keep wanting to build a retort to handle ongoing construction waste. But that’s a lower priority welding project, meanwhile the wood keeps piling up. Been doing small burns in the “best biochar kiln” to get a sense of how a burn goes. Stepping it up with a 3’x2’x12’ trench. The small amounts done so far have been awesome in the seed starter and garden this year. Time to up the scale. Did a property cleanup as we got into fall. 5 14’ dump trailer loads of wood run through a trench burn. Went quick, and burned hot. Less than 4 hours to burn through the lot. Even if I didn’t want the biochar, so much faster to burn that way than the traditional Agricultural burn pile. Quenched with 3 IBC totes of water. Need to find a good way to bulk crush it, mag sweep for metal and then screed it now. #grownostr #biochar #permaculture #yamhillvalley @jackspirko Jack you jerk, got me started down this biochar path. Now I have a better use for an existing waste stream. https://m.primal.net/LVid.jpg https://m.primal.net/LVii.jpg https://m.primal.net/LVij.jpg https://m.primal.net/LVik.jpg npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I moved out of the suburbs to get away from those nosy Karen’s peering through my windows! npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab You could make it 150 years and I’d still be hard pressed to come up with a national level question fixed by voting. I vote every moment by how I spend my time and where I direct my attention and resources. Those votes matter. Those votes can move my life and my community. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I went to my pantry to check. I couldn’t find any chips, protein bars, or protein powder. I found some very stale crackers left over from a coworker at some team builder that took place here. They were from the Asian food store, had nothing noteworthy on their US import label. My wife occasionally makes cookies, but the jar was empty and it filled me with sadness. I bet there were some insects accidentally ground up in the local flour she uses, but not enough to make the label. I final found a R&B mix, played it and got crickets, but I had it plugged into the wrong audio jack. Swapped it and the tunes came through… That’s your list, my house came up short. I’m ok with this. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab That is very true. I always have had my preferences and what I purchase reflects them, but I’ve had to do enough work on enough systems I can move between them well enough. The tribal hatred is not needed but people like to belong and be “better” than others. Any more than the occasional jovial joke is uncalled for though. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab How many carpenters have you spent time around? My Martinez is far superior to my coworkers Stilletto, if we’re just talking about hammers. If mine is across the room and I borrow his it just feels wrong and I grumble about it. We do kid around about that. Although it pales to our discussion about Makita versus Milwaukee powered tools. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab GM All. Time for more digging. Working on doubling the size of my shop to create more storage space for the construction company and some parking below. This will free up the pad of my shop for more homestead projects. Then I’ll just need to free up some time. #construction #yamhillvalley #homestead #shop #construction https://m.primal.net/KNxL.jpg npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Uh oh. Don’t jinx it for me. I just started to date a new person. And of course I’m worried that my NRE is stronger than hers. Which often leads to an imbalance and that sort of “sudden” breakup. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I don’t drink coffee in the morning, but without my shower I’m just groggy. And yes, I was my hair too. I’d say about 30% of days I’m dirty enough at the end of a manual labor filled day to need another shower in the evening. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab Unfortunately, I’m in Oregon. I don’t see such a split benefitting me in the short term. One of the highest concentrations of crazy live 30 miles from me.

I’d be in favor of the peaceful dissolution of both, but preferably only if we had some way to ensure the power vacuum they created would not be filled by some stronger more consolidated organization. Let that source of power dissipate and the parasites that feed off of it diminish. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I certainly don’t want you redeemed.

The distinction of the presence or lack of pedals was an important one. I suppose it might not be to most captcha writers or captcha clickers.

I manage the server it’s sent and received from but it’s co-located elsewhere. Although now that I have better Internet service then when I moved in, I keep considering moving it home and just running a backup MX elsewhere. If start9 would get us a server side IMAP filtering setup, I’d be all over that.

I pick “the best” of them for a phone interview, which makes me sadder still for the state of humanity. I don’t think most of my candidates could bake a cake from a box, with directions.

But I’ve also been polyamorous for 30 years. While in that context it applies to being happy for you romantic partners’ achievements it can apply outside of such relationships. I can feel compersion for my neighbor who was able to get or do the X they always wanted. I am happy for their happiness, without feeling that their success in anyway impinges upon my ability to succeed. Our compersion hole in the world is closely tied to the scarcity mindset which makes many jealous of others success rather than finding it uplifting when those around them are achieving their goals. I can only hope that there is some truth to the notion of, “fix the money, fix the world” and that BTC will slowly reintroduce the idea that success anywhere in a community can bring success to everyone in that community. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab I am polyamorous because I believe I can love multiple people. Dating is a process to find those people. I am committed to both my partners (of 19 and 8 years). I still go on dates occasionally as I find others intriguing. But I’m also up front about my time, and that I might not be able to share as much time with someone new as when I was single and poly. But other people have other interpretations of those words which makes communication until you know where someone else is going from so much more important than labels. I don’t assume that someone who is poly, is available to date, nor that they would wish to date any aspect of me (my existing relationships, life choices, appearance, etc.) npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab It’s a beautiful evening to welcome 4 new additions to the homestead.

If so you may be able to set up a series of dampers to open a bypass around the main duct and blow air over the miner and then back into the supply when heat is called for and when no heat is needed lose the dampers and run the miner and exhaust the heat elsewhere, garage, attic, outside. Then you could setup the miner to be your stage 1 heat with stage 2 bring your current furnace heat source. npub1rccegnzfltylh998jsj48z0j43pu5uqq9st6j3h3j4jz5ehy7nxs9ymawc BlackSheepRehab As a landlord, I offer 10% discount on rent paid in BTC. I also offer to walk a tenant through how to source it and pay for it (using Strike, so they never need to own it) Only 1 has taken me up on it, which requires patience with the initially low limits on Strike. I am required by our charter to pay out income quarterly, so any more of a discount creates more risk of covering a significant 3 month drop. Trying to get all my investors to take a split payout in fiat and BTC to alleviate the need to convert back to fiat to cover.

With the cost of electricity in my area, mining for profit is a hard thing to do, but if I’m burning watts for heat anyway, then doing it whilst earning some return makes sense.
