22° F & 82% humidity. #BlackBox install finished. S19a Pro 110Th ticking like a Swiss pocket watch.

No duct work necessary, just run power & Ethernet. ~40dB from 15ft away. Carpet padding & soundboard liner inside.

Thank you @SGBarbour & the team @upstreamdatainc
The interior was unlined when I received it as the ideal materials are still being determined.
A Whatsminer M31S ran at about 82dB with no liner and the lid open. When the lid was closed, the #BlackBox attenuated the noise by about 24 dB.
I settled on a layer of carpet padding with a layer of sound board on top. On the exhaust side I added a layer of foil tape to the flammable sound board for good measure.
Drilled through the side and mounted a watertight junction box on the outside and an interior junction box on the inside with bolts going through the wall to hold them in place. I used a cork gasket on the outside wall & mounted the outlets on the inside.
I'm thrilled to be the first recipient of the #BlackBox :) Hope this gives you all some food for thought and I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

1/20 Bringing your #Bitcoin node, wallet, & miner back into one cohesive device with the @FutureBit Apollo.

This thread is the short version of a more detailed guide that can be found on the @BitcoinMagazine website:

bitcoinmagazine.com/guides/how-to-…
2/20 The Apollo is a full #Bitcoin node running Bitcoin Core v22.0.0. It's also a Bitcoin miner equipped with 44 ASIC chips capable of producing ~3Th. Built on a 6-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 1TB SSD platform. The Apollo can go from delivery to hashing in 15-minutes & IBD in 2 days. Image
3/20 The Apollo runs quietly at ~25dB, installs by plugging in a couple cables & configures in a few clicks, very easy for a broad user base that may not want to manage the +80dB noise & +150° F temps of industrial-grade miners. This enables getting hash power into many hands.

This is what the disbursed #bitcoin donations to the Freedom Convoy truckers looks like on @oxt_btc
It appears 101 wallets were created on behalf of the truckers. Seemingly the first cluster was a test tx depositing 4,800 sats into each wallet. Followed a few blocks later with 400k sats to the same address in each wallet. Followed by 0.14 BTC, again same address used in each.
Only a few have been spent, 6 that I can count. Unfortunately, all of them to KYC exchanges.

Due to crowd funding platforms & payment service providers now falling under the Canadian Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act, stakes are high. But it gets worse.

1/17 Build your own #Bitcoin home mining enclosure for under $150, with a 20dB attenuation.

A thread based on a DIY indoor version of @SGBarbour's #BlackBox
2/17 This thread is the short version of the full @upstreamdatainc DIY guide which can be found in this GitHub repo. Feel free to get in there, make pull requests for different materials you have tried, or to get different design variations included, etc.

github.com/econoalchemist…
3/17 The intent of the #BlackBox is to allow the user to run their mining ASIC hardware outdoors where the heat and noise could more easily be controlled or dissipated. Excessive heat & noise are common problems users experience when mining #bitcoin in the home or working space.
