Todays episode is with Barnminer also known as @btctwatterpants on twitter. Barnminer is a champion of monetary and bodily sovereignty and is doing what he can to decentralise the bitcoin network by running miners at home and orange pilling others to do the same. I really enjoyed this conversation and I'm more bullish than ever after speaking to so many incredible plebs.

Todays episode is with Gian Mendoza, we talked about his rabbit hole journey and why he decided to mine at home. Gian has a very interesting set up and particular set of obstacles to overcome including heat and the use of solar to mine. He has dedicated allot of time to documenting his build and I would highly recommend his Youtube Chanel linked bellow for anyone considering a build like this. I really enjoyed this conversation and look forward to seeing what Gian builds going forward. 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……..

Todays guest is Sarah DiGiacomo a pleb mining mum who is here for real change and to remove state from all aspects of her family’s life. Ive had the pleasure of getting to know Sarah and her incredible family after meeting her husband @JonPDiGiacom through the Meshtadel. Sarah has been helping organise the pleb miner month in the hope we can onboard more home miners and help decentralise the bitcoin network. In this episode we discus clown world and the need to push back as well as what its like being immersed in pleb culture and the hopes for miner month. I loved this conversation and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.

In today’s episode I speak to Coinicarus about the importance of Pleb culture and why he started his new show with pirate beach bum and cohost Walton. We discus the need for privacy in bitcoin and why clout chasing and misaligned incentives end up causing harm. We also discussed some of the underrated content in the space and ways to shine light on it.  We had some technical issues so it’s a shorter one today but I always enjoy catching up with Coinicarus. I really hope you enjoy the show and as always please reach out if you have any questions.
