The 3D printed shrouds from arrived today. My Canaan Avalon Q bitcoin mining 4 heat setup just leveled up a bit. There’s a reason I ordered 2 of them … just saying 🤫

First day impression : amazing. Hard rain highway on the way home was nice 👍 not the most sporting tires on the dry but solid grip and I can feel the road surface. Very happy 😃

Nope In fact it may have been the first PHEV I’d ever sat in when we bought it. Did a lot of research, did a lot of math. After the incentives and rebates it was a clear choice. Other models were less of a good fit. XSE trim kit was about right for me. Great vehicle.

I did a lot of ‘research‘ before deciding on these Michelin Cross Climate 2s for my RAV4 Prime. All of the handling characteristics of your vehicle transfer to the road via 4 small contact patches. Always invest in decent tires, It’s worth it. #allseason #tires #winter #climate

Cool. TY TY

fuuuuu- criminal bastards.

What’s on the easel ? Trees n stuff It’s at an awkward stage but it’ll get different fast from here. #artstr #painting #studio #artist #progress

Also : would like to control my Canaan Avalon Q with the API in Home Assistant I can automate the smart plug using the thermostat data - but it’s on the list of things to figure out. canaan.io/docs/api/avalon-q-commands Ok, not Nostr but it’s on the list. 🤔

Back at it, don’t be lazy.

Time for sleep - some progress

I’ll probably burn the grain to darken it and make a patina then run some boiled linseed over it. It’ll get a strap, possibly to be beaded next year ( my wife is busy beading my regalia rn) I’m not sure what blade I’ll put into it yet. maybe some crazy looking flint or obsidian. I’m thinking of abalone inlays rather than brass tacks too. And I saw a couple with a circle hole cut through the butt of the stock- I like the look and also less weight overall. It is usable - and properly sized for me.

Got a start on a ‘Gunstock War Club’ for my powwow regalia. Roughed it out from an Oak tree in the backyard. It’s about 34” overall but It’ll look considerably different when it’s finished.

Deserve is a strong word. People often don’t have choices, and are making desperate decisions. They face immense pressure from those around them to work harder in a broken system.

Still on eco 24hrs later - still 24C in the whole house. I think as long as you’re comfortable covering the $2.50 - $5/ day cost of running it it’s great. If cashflow is a struggle you’ll need to sell some bitcoin along the way. Grok tells me the ROI is about 1.5 yrs depending on use case / power cost. My wife LOVES the warm house.

I blocked my first user on Nostr this morning. I hit me unexpectedly because everyone has been very genuine. I haven’t seen any of the trolling and negativity I see elsewhere. It’s been wonderful. So now I’m wondering Are people on Nostr getting creepy DMs and inappropriate comments here too? I thankfully have not. The objectionable post I saw this morning was meant to precipitate a strong reaction. I felt provoked but chose not to engage. It only took me a moment to find the block button. I realized in that moment that we need to be careful and measured in our response to these problems. #nostr #socialmedia #problem #block #ban

The miner will go between this 8” fan and the ductwork I’ve installed. Filter -> Fan -> shroud -> Miner -> shroud -> Duct ~> HVAC.

Do the math, I guess. Hard to beat a paid for machine. I think it’s a good move, esp if you need the heat. This product is built well, it’s very quiet and it’s putting out serious heat. I would like to see a bitcoin furnace from Canaan. 🤔 This is the best heater miner I’ve seen so far.
