People keep asking me what I've been doing in Bitcoin Mining.
Not much other than I found this Bitmain hat I gave to my Dad which before triggered me when I got it in Miami in the pandemic. I found it in his stack of random hunting hats haha!
But then I remembered, we open sourced the first FPGA miner, the second and third FPGA miners, and then the first Canaan AvalonMiners. Bitmain and ALL the designs coming from China are essentially derivatives of the first work me and my friends did for fun.
So in review, Bitcoin miners have been open source and open hardware since the very beginning. They didn't all have these western symbols that signify to people something *is* something they need to see, but reality is more powerful than any story.
Ha, I have not seen anyone connect these dots before.
I'm just gonna let that ride out! Its so funny actually and not even the tip of the iceberg in terms of stories.
I do now have two bitcoin mining ideas however :) Ok, now three. Oh wait now four hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm the inventor of the #hahaha hashtag just like Isaac invented the RT. Mlinksva can attest to all this...he is more believable than me.
