Let’s build a new #Bitcoin node using the DeskPi Pro kit.
Detach the M.2 expansion board and fasten the M.2 SSD
Assemble the ICETower Cooler to its brackets and stick the silicon thermal pad
Mount the ICE Tower Cooler, the GPIO connector and the T-shaped conductive cotton. Attach the RPI board to the Power Control Board and pay attention to the FPC socket.
Push the circuit board into the shell.
Close the shell with the acrylics. Ready to boot!
Flash the Umbrel OS.
Initial @getumbrel boot on the DeskPi Pro
Seems like I zapped the M.2 SSD. Replaced it and now we’re syncing!
If you got this far don't forget to activate TRIM for your SSD:

Raising for a Bitcoin only startup isn’t easy but it is THE WAY.
We are demonetizing gold by establishing an AUX/BTC swap.
No more need to do AUX -> USD -> BTC just because there’s no price fixing for the AUX/BTC pair. Swap directly. Get spot. You might even save on taxes (ask your accountant!).
Initial target audience for the swap are family offices holding physical gold. We give you a fixed price for the swap. Just call one number, book the BRINKS shipment to our refinery, receive BTC within 48h.
Simple.
No hedging.
Price transparency.
Deep liquidity.

As a species we’ve entered a period of rapid evolutionary change again.
Unbeknownst to the majority, the intense pressure produced by the Final Money, also known as #Bitcoin, will produce a higher level of cooperation between competent members of our species.

For people without hard skills (politicians, lawyers, and other looters) this will be an exceptionally difficult time. All human actions currently mediated by the STATE will be disintermediated.
We will found a new civilization based on principles of individual freedom.

It is difficult to convey the magnitude of the changes ahead of us. Our ability to coordinate in large groups, to wage war, to build cities, to conquer nature, is what lead us to dominance.
#Bitcoin is rocket fuel for this capability to assemble and create change.

I’ve done a lot of thinking about command and control systems lately.
The next level of urban combat will revolve around secure p2p protocols, mesh networks with clandestine repeaters, anti-personnel mines that identify you by camera or your phone’s MAC address…

We used to play these spy vs spy games during the 90s. The game was prepared in a city by the game master ahead of time. A LARP game that used paper slips in dead drops as communication channels (pre mobile phones). You received encrypted instructions from your handler…

Depending on your role you’d observe the subject, protect the subject, plant fake mines (those were more innocent times) or kill with a rubber knife. It helped that most participants were also skilled in martial arts (injuries were frequent but minor).

OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS by David Kilcullen.
Probably the best analysis of how networked weapons and networked insurgents changed the definition a the theater of war.
Applying these lessons to monetary systems will be essential in the near future. Image
Reciprocity in a networked world Image
War, money and markets have been linked since the times of the Lydian empire. The Lydians used silver ingots (early coins) to create markets for the supply chain of their border patrols. Image

The modern power grid has to deal with lots of dynamic producers and consumers. The power engineer call this a “frothy” market. Any miscalculation in projected production or consumption can lead to a brownout. Enter: Bitcoin mining

The price per kWh is by far the largest OPEX factor for large scale Bitcoin miners. Most analysts calculate profitability based on the assumed PPA of a facility. A low price per kWh means you can mine profitably if the BTC exchange rate isn’t too low. But…
What if you don’t have to pay for the power? You might get paid to consume electricity IF you can take enough excess power fast enough. You might get paid again if you can stop consuming. This is called frequency regulation and the modern grid needs lots of it.
