Gabriel Custodiet talks Bitcoin mining with a major player in self-mining. This is the best introduction to the who, why, what, and how of mining. As always, with no compromise on self-sovereignty, ownership, no KYC, and privacy.   Guest Links → https://diverter.hostyourown.tools/mining-for-the-streets/ (Diverter's original article) → https://twitter.com/Diverter_NoKYC → https://paynym.is/+diverter   References → https://www.econoalchemist.com/post/home-mining-for-non-kyc-bitcoin → https://upstreamdata.com/products-services/bitcoin-mining-loadcenters/black-box/ → https://upstreamdata.com/upstreamdata-diy-blackbox/ → https://kaboomracks.com/buying-mining-equipment/ (happens via Telegram) → https://minefarmbuy.com/  → https://www.blockwaresolutions.com → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod256-bitcoin-mining-news-analysis/id1657814571 → https://t.me/HomeMiningWizards (Helpful Telegram group for amateurs) → https://twitter.com/CoinHeated (ASIC immersion) →https://twitter.com/zbomstaz (single board ASIC)   Watchman Privacy → https://watchmanprivacy.com (newsletter, consultation requests) → https://twitter.com/watchmanprivacy → https://www.amazon.com/Watchman-Guide-Privacy-Financial-Lifestyle/dp/B08PX7KFS2   Privacy Courses (supports the show) → https://rpf.gumroad.com/l/privatebitcoin → https://rpf.gumroad.com/l/hackproof   Monero Donation (supports the show) →8829DiYwJ344peEM7SzUspMtgUWKAjGJRHmu4Q6R8kEWMpafiXPPNBkeRBhNPK6sw27urqqMYTWWXZrsX6BLRrj7HiooPAy   Please subscribe to and rate this podcast wherever you can to help it thrive.

C'est la bonne nouvelle de la semaine en terme de cryptomonnaies : l'utilisation d'énergies renouvelables aurait augmenté de moitié pour le minage du Bitcoin l'an dernier. C'est en tout cas ce qu'à annoncé le Bitcoin Mining Council dans un rapport que je vous propose de découvrir dans cet épisode. Dans cette étude, 44 entreprises qui représentent la moitié de la production du Bitcoin dans le monde, ont eu de plus en plus recours aux énergies vertes l'an dernier pour miner cette précieuse monnaie virtuelle. Autre chiffre encourageant, le minage du Bitcoin ne demanderait que 0,16 % de l'énergie mondiale et n'émettrait que 0,09 % des émissions de carbone de la planète... Au final, la consommation d'électricité du Bitcoin aurait été réduite de 25% en un an. Si le rapport se veut optimiste, les détracteurs des cryptomonnaies soulignent que ces chiffres peuvent être manipulés, car les mesures effectuées ne vont pas plus loin que le premier trimestre 2021, date où le Bitcoin Mining Council n'existait pas encore. De plus, les chiffres qui permettent de déduire l'utilisation du mix énergétique sont seulement comparés avec la consommation d'électricité aux États-Unis, ce qui limite un peu le champ de vision, étant donné que l'Europe et l'Asie sont également des territoires très actif en matière de minage. De leur côté, les acteurs de l'industrie crypto clament haut et fort que le Bitcoin sera miné avec 85 % d'énergies renouvelables en 2025, et qu'il sera entièrement « vert » en 2050. À noter que plus de 19 millions des bitcoins ont déjà été minés sur 21 millions. D'après les dernières estimations, l'ultime jeton devrait être miné dans plus d'une centaine d'années, aux alentours de 2140. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode I am joined by Heady Wook (@heady_wook) who brings a wealth of Bitcoin knowledge to the table. Heady Wook helps run the Orange County Bitcoin meetups so we get into his experience running a meet up, types of people/trends he sees and more! Heady also developed headywook.com which is a website that has resources and articles on how to purchase Non-KYC Bitcoin so we get into the importance of Non-KYC Bitcoin, the Bitcoin ethos, and the power behind holding your own keys, running a node, and overall becoming a true bitcoiner. Then we dive into six current events and Heady shares some unique opinions about Bitcoin becoming legal tender in the Central African Republic, the city of Fort Worth mining Bitcoin, the state of New York proposing a bill to ban Bitcoin mining, the Bitcoin Mining Council's data release, BIP 119 potential Bitcoin protocol change, and Fidelity allowing people to hold Bitcoin in their 401ks.

Darin Feinstein, an early investor in Bitcoin, co-founded Core Scientific, one of the largest Bitcoin mining operations. In this interview, we discuss the revolution of triple-entry accounting, providing 8 billion people property rights and banking, combating FUD, and rapid advances in mining chips. - - - - Bitcoin is causing tectonic shifts in global financial and political systems that have companies, authorities, and nations reeling. This creates a lot of noise. But, has this resulted in the community easing off on extolling Bitcoin's principal revolutionary characteristic - the consensus protocol? And, does that open it up to attack? Triple entry accounting, the trustless verification of peer to peer transactions, is an innovation that is arguably in the same league as the wheel or printing press. For Bitcoiners, this understanding is implicit; discussions have moved on to other more immediate concerns. However, because we're still so early there is widespread ignorance of why Bitcoin has such transformative power. Has this created a space for those wanting to undermine Bitcoin? The industry has had to contend with FUD since the early days. The constant risk is that those in positions of great power don't have the necessary knowledge to separate fact from fiction. Is this why there are serious considerations being given at the highest levels to banning proof of work consensus? The unavoidable issue is that challenging the status quo is hard. And, the status quo will always exploit weakness. As such, is it possible to have a decentralized community without a centralized voice? Would we fail without the efforts of the likes of the Bitcoin Mining Council and the Bitcoin Policy Institute? These questions are becoming increasingly important: the greater the scale of adoption, the more severe the response. China banned Bitcoin because it was a great idea that threatened their top-down ideology. The US benefited from this, but there are still voices who would see a ban on this side of the Pacific. New York is already considering its own ban on mining. Our enduring advantage is that we have truth on our side - Bitcoin is the greatest money system invented. Will that be enough?

“The one thing that's certain is it's never going away because this is the best accounting technology, which is instrumental to run the world, that has ever been invented. And so the rest of it is just noise to me, it's going to go up, it's gonna go down, the daily price fluctuations are meaningless, we just keep building. ”— Alex EpsteinDarin Feinstein, an early investor in Bitcoin, co-founded Core Scientific, one of the largest Bitcoin mining operations.

And, the status quo will always exploit weakness. As such, is it possible to have a decentralized community without a centralized voice? Would we fail without the efforts of the likes of the Bitcoin Mining Council and the Bitcoin Policy Institute?These questions are becoming increasingly important: the greater the scale of adoption, the more severe the response. China banned Bitcoin because it was a great idea that threatened their top-down ideology. The US benefited from this, but there are still voices who would see a ban on this side of the Pacific. New York is already considering its own ban on mining.Our enduring advantage is that we have truth on our side - Bitcoin is the greatest money system invented. Will that be enough?

How DeFi could challenge the ETF sector – The ETF sector is expanding as more mutual funds convert into ETFs. Recently, we have seen the launch the Hashdex DeFi Index ETF which it is the first regulated ETF to invest in DeFi investment tokens. ETFs were designed to group correlated assets together and DeFi can take this one step further and challenge the composability of these investment vehicles, putting users at the heart of financial instrument design. DeFi infrastructure and liquidity can make existing financial products and fund administration more efficient, in a similar fashion that ETFs have for mutual funds. Is crypto the antidote to the West's ills and a shot in the arm for the economy? - in parts one and two of this essay we discussed how the increasing digitality of society has coincided with a relative decline in US and Western hegemony and how this has led to a diminished level of trust in the institutions of security, governance, media and finance, as well as in trust as a general concept. In part three, we explore how cryptocurrencies and blockchain offer a technological solution to this socio-cultural challenge, and perhaps a wider opportunity for the west. Are critics of this emerging technology missing the point when they criticise its flaws? Could crypto be the latest way to unleash a new wave of economic, cultural, political and military innovation and growth? Bitcoin miners claim they are able to generate cryptos whilst improving their ESG credentials - the Bitcoin Mining Council has targeted 2030 as the date for its members to be net-carbon neutral. On this subject, we look at examples in Norway and the USA regarding how crypto miners are improving their ESG credentials. The thorny issues about valuing NFTs - a review of some of the key issues when looking at how, or if, NFTs can be valued. This includes defining NFT rights and obligations, forecasting cash flows, the involvement of crypto currencies and market comparables, and concludes that the use of existing intellectual property valuation techniques should help with better informed values of NFTs. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jtylee/message

In today's episode of compounding lifestyle, we talk about Crypto, The Future of Bitcoin, And What's Next For Crypto. Bitcoin mining difficulty just fell by a record-breaking 28% — it's good news for some. This metric gauges how hard it is to create a new block on the blockchain. With a higher difficulty, greater computing power is needed. The mass exodus of mining power from China, linked to a recent crypto clampdown, has even caused the formation of new blocks on BTC's blockchain to slow down substantially. This is designed to happen once every 10 minutes, but at times in recent days, new blocks have only been created every 19 minutes with less competition in the race to add a new block. Difficulty levels are reviewed every 2,016 blocks — every two weeks, give or take — meaning that everything will be assessed once again in a fortnight. Going forward, it's worth keeping an eye on the hash rate, otherwise known as the combined processing power of the Bitcoin network. The latest figures show that 54% of Bitcoin's hash rate has fallen off the network since prices hit an all-time high back in May. Some analysts predict that miners could end up receiving a boost to their revenues for the rest of this year as displaced Chinese miners look for a new place to set up shop. 56% of Energy Used By Miners Came from Sustainable Sources in Q2. After Tesla suspended accepting Bitcoin as a payment method over environmental concerns, Elon Musk said the electric vehicle company would only embrace cryptocurrency when there's confirmation that miners use 50% clean energy. Some 56% of the energy used by Bitcoin miners came from sustainable energy sources in the second quarter of 2021. The Bitcoin Mining Council says it collected information from 32% of the global BTC network for its survey — and heralded crypto as one of the most sustainable industries globally. Despite China shutting down over 60 percent of the global Bitcoin network, the Bitcoin network experienced zero downtime, no bailouts has registered no bankruptcies, and simply adapted by redeploying its infrastructure into regions that have greater freedoms. The network remains as strong as ever, it simply shrugs off adversity and moves forward. Countries Most Prepared for Mass Adoption of Crypto are U.S. Cyprus, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the U.K. Crypto Head, which performed the research, said the U.S. leads the way when it comes to the rollout of crypto ATMs — with 17,000 dotted across the country. There has also been a 140% increase in searches for cryptocurrency in the States over the past year. Cyprus saw similar increases in the number of search queries. Overall, 33.9% of the population Googled for information about crypto — the highest worldwide. While Singapore is home to 10 crypto ATMs, Hong Kong is home to 124. On average, this means that there are one every 3 square miles, and one for every 60,000 people. Rounding off the 10 most crypto-ready countries were Ireland, Slovenia, Australia, Germany, and Canada. $ARKX $XOM $TSLA $AAL $BNGO $MARA $O $CRWD $FB $AAPL $FCEL $MGM $GOOGL $EZGO $SHOP $MTCH $DIS $PDD $ $TWTR $AMZN $EBET $PLTR $BFLY $ENZC $GM $ABNB $BUZZ $PTON $TDOC $DDD $U BTC Eth, XLM Control the Cash balance today and position yourself accordingly.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we get into the game theory of paying ransoms, speculation on how to abuse UK's legal system CSW-style, how S2F is totally undeniable and a perfectly predictive model, when NIMBYism with bitcoin mining, and the death of nuance with mining council press releases.Another YUGE cyber ransomware attack surfaced over the weekend. Per the BBC, the gang behind the attack has demanded $70m paid in Bitcoin in return for a "universal decryptor" that it says will unlock the files of all victims. The REvil group claims its malware, which initially targeted US IT firm Kaseya, has hit one million "systems". This number has not been verified and the exact total of victims is unknown. On Friday, cyber-security firm Huntress Labs estimated about 200 firms had been affected.The "supply chain" attack initially targeted Kaseya, before spreading through corporate networks that use its software. '" https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57719820Despite a UK court order to the contrary, Cobra is still hosting a copy of the whitepaper at Bitcoin.org - https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper. Cobra, the pseudonymous operator of the Bitcoin.org website, has been ordered by London's High Court to discontinue hosting its copy of the Bitcoin white paper. Citing copyright infringement brought forward by nChain Chief Scientist Craig Wright, the judge had no option but to rule a default judgment because Cobra chose not to make an appearance, Wright's representation, Ontier LLP, said via a statement on Monday. Judge David Hodge, QC issued an injunction prohibiting Cobra from infringing Wright's copyright in the U.K., either through making the white paper accessible for download on the website or 'œin any other way.' An order requiring bitcoin.org to publish a copy of the court's order was also issued while an inquiry will be established to determine the damages caused by Cobra against Wright, Ontier said. @Outputintern on Twitter said: "Default judgement awarded to Craig Wright. Cobra has to put a notice up on http://bitcoin.org for six months about the default judgement. Also has to pay Craig's costs, ‚35,000 in interim payments ordered so far."One of the most widely used charts for predicting massive future bitcoin price gains is showing the largest divergence since January 2019. The bitcoin stock-to-flow model currently suggests the price of bitcoin should be around $77,900. But as of Monday, the cryptocurrency was trading at $33,668, well off the all-time high price of $64,829 reached in April. Crypto analyst 'œPlanB,' who has been documenting his stock-to-flow model since March 2019, tweeted that BTC/USD is now the furthest away from the estimated value in more than two years. He said the next six months will 'œmake or break' the stock-to-flow model.NIMBY strikes Bitcoin, as Fox Business reports, A gas-fired power plant being used to support a Bitcoin mining operation in upstate New York has divided local residents over the environmental toll of the energy-intensive process versus the economic benefits the business brings to town. Locals who have protested the operations of the plant, which is on the shores of Seneca Lake, have expressed concern that it's polluting the air and heating the lake, the largest of the Finger Lakes. During the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2021, the company said it mined 1,186 bitcoins at a cost of approximately $2,869 each. '" https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/bitcoin-mining-operation-in-finger-lakes-sparks-local-concernsSpeaking of mining, the Bitcoin Mining Council presented their first report this week. The council is now composed of 23 members, with 14 new member mining companies in addition to 9 founding members the council now represents 32% of the mining industry. Bitcoin miners are rapidly becoming more energy efficient using an increasing percentage of sustainable sources (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, nuclear) in their energy mix. Bitcoin is powered by a higher mix of sustainable energy (56%) than any other industry or major country. Also, from the report, 'œThe Bitcoin network uses a negligible amount of the world's energy '" 189 terawatt hours as compared to 162,194 terawatt hours of total global energy use (0.02% of all energy consumed).' '" https://bitcoinminingcouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2021.07.01-BMC-Q2-2021-Materials.pdfIt just became a whole lot easier and much more profitable to mine for bitcoin. The world has known for months that more than half the world's bitcoin miners would be going dark as China cracked down on mining. Now that it's happened, the bitcoin algorithm has adjusted accordingly to make sure miner productivity doesn't continue to fall off a cliff. That adjustment '" which took effect early Saturday morning '" also means that way more cash is going to the bitcoin miners who remain online. 'œThis will be a revenue party for miners,' said bitcoin mining engineer Brandon Arvanaghi. 'œThey suddenly own a meaningfully larger piece of the pie, meaning they earn more bitcoin every day.' China had long been the epicenter of bitcoin miners, with past estimates indicating that 65% to 75% of the world's bitcoin mining happened there, but a government-led crackdown has effectively banished the country's crypto miners. 'For the first time in the bitcoin network's history, we have a complete shutdown of mining in a targeted geographic region that affected more than 50% of the network,' said Darin Feinstein, founder of Blockcap and Core Scientific. Fewer people mining means that fewer blocks are solved each day. Typically, it takes about 10 minutes to complete a block, but Feinstein told CNBC the bitcoin network has slowed down to 14- to 19-minute block times.

Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW looks at the latest in the highly dynamic, fast-evolving world of bitcoin mining, including: China's mining ban and the “Great Western Hashrate Migration” Bitcoin's built-in hashrate fluctuation mitigation, the “difficulty adjustment” The Bitcoin Mining Council's newest sustainable mining figures China's expansive mining ban, including regions with hydroelectric power, forced China-based miners to liquidate some of their crypto in preparation for a move elsewhere. Where will hashrate move next? Will miners join U.S. crypto-friendly jurisdictions like Texas and Kentucky, or will they stay close to home in bordering countries like Kazakhstan and Russia? The ban induced a massive reduction of hash power on the network. Luckily, Satoshi prepared for such a circumstance and built in a concept of “difficulty adjustment” into Bitcoin's protocols, which allows for fluctuation in the composition of miners. The adjustment expected to be made tonight will be the highest adjustment ever made on the network. Lastly, NLW addresses a report released by the Bitcoin Mining Council on sustainable energy disclosures. This report's feature number, 56% of mining electricity mix is sustainable in Q2 2021, has some groups excited while others remain skeptical of the validity of the report.

On today's episode of “The Breakdown,” NLW first follows up on yesterday's episode about the FOMC meeting and a potential future shift in Fed policy. As many expected, the Fed kept its short-term policy the same, but revised forward its estimates for when it will begin rate hikes to 2023.  The main discussion focuses on the latest from the Bitcoin Mining Council. Yesterday, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor hosted a 90-minute discussion via Twitter spaces that featured many pointed questions. NLW argues that what's clear from the session is Saylor is focused on scaling bitcoin from a $1 trillion asset to a $100 trillion network and fighting anything that stands in the way.  -- Earn up to 12% APY on Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD, EUR, GBP, Stablecoins & more.

Bitcoin is coming to 401(k) plans. An asset engineered to outlast product cycles, corporations, and governments makes sense in a retirement portfolio tweets Michael Saylor. Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of social media network Twitter and founder and CEO of financial services company Square, has confirmed he is planning to integrate Bitcoin's Lightning Network sidechain with at least one of his businesses. The Bitcoin Mining Council made a formal debut on Thursday as the debate regarding the environmental impact of the digital asset intensifies, and confirms Elon Musk has ‘no role'. Elon Musk was pressured by the shareholders of Tesla to speak out about Bitcoin energy consumption says Kevin O'Leary. An anonymous buyer has snatched up a multi-million dollar penthouse in Miami Beach, Fla., smashing world records for the most expensive real estate purchase ever paid in cryptocurrency. The SEC has filed its Response to Ripple's Motion to Compel the SEC to turn over the internal BTC, ETH and XRP documents Judge Netburn has already twice told them to turn over.

In today’s seminar Saifedean talks to regular seminar attendees about the Bitcoin Mining Council: a recently formed group of North American bitcoin miners that aims to “promote energy usage transparency [and] accelerate sustainability initiatives worldwide.” They discuss why centralized attempts to alter bitcoin are unlikely to succeed without broad community consensus, what we can learn from the proposed SegWit2x software upgrade of 2017, and why the claims of some popular green energy initiatives are dubious.

This week, “Opinionated” co-hosts Ben Schiller, Anna Baydakova and Danny Nelson are discussing one of the most interesting topics raised during CoinDesk's Consensus 2021 virtual conference – bitcoin's ESG (environmental, social and governance) moment.This episode is sponsored by PumaPay.io.The question of bitcoin's impact on the environment has been hovering over the industry for years, but recently, it got a real momentum after Elon Musk first sent bitcoin prices surging, then plunging, then going up again, by tweeting about bitcoin's environmental impact. After showing disapproval of bitcoin's ecological impact, Musk soon returned with a new message: he met with the North American bitcoin miners to get them to adopt greener standards of work. Cathie Wood, the founder of Ark Investment Management, believes the move was dictated by some very pragmatic reasons, as she said in a Consensus interview with Nathaniel Whittemore: “Elon probably got a few calls from institutions,” Wood said. “I noticed that BlackRock is [Tesla]'s number three shareholder and Larry Fink is the CEO. He is focused on ESG and especially on climate change. I'm sure BlackRock registered some complaints and perhaps there are some very large holders in Europe who are extremely sensitive to this.”In setting up the Bitcoin Mining Council, some wondered if Musk and his fellow founder-whale Michael Saylor wanted to centralize bitcoin mining. This is hardly possible (for now). However attempts to create various white lists and black lists for bitcoin, depending on how green or dirty, sanctioned or politically clean they are, and so on, might harm bitcoin's core value: borderless money with no rulers to control it. Ben, Anna and Danny discuss these and other topics related to the heavily controversial bitcoin environmental agenda.Ben Schiller's Twitter handle is: @btschillerAnna: @baidakovaDanny: @reaDannyNelson-750,000,000 PMA tokens are now up for grabs.

Jonathan's been driving about trying to charge his EV. He reports back. We talk about Netflix moving into gaming, GameStop moving into NFTs, and AI moving onto meeting notes. Following our non-sponsor segment, we turn to This Week in Crypto, which begins with a quick fire round including: Ray Dalio and Carl Icahn get into bitcoin, China's miners get out, Iran does too, Charlie bit my finger goes NFT, as does a rare alien CryptoPunk at Sotheby's. Our main topics in the crypto half of the podcast are the Bitcoin Mining Council; and places where the separation of coin and State is a matter of survival. Finally, we close with Shitcoin or Fakecoin.

Yesterday, Michael Saylor and Elon Musk surprised the Bitcoin community when they announced a new “green” mining initiative that would see many of North America’s leading mining operators come together to develop common energy reporting standards as well as advocate for greener mining worldwide.  In this episode, NLW breaks down the community’s response, which ranged from enthusiastic to downright aghast. He discusses why there are such big differences in how people are interpreting the initiative and what their reasons for supporting or questioning it say about Bitcoin as a network. -- Earn up to 12% APY on Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD, EUR, GBP, Stablecoins & more.
