Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Season 2025: HeatHarvest / Proof-of-Growth, Purple Sweet Potatoes & Crawfish. vlog 1: Dry Run . We’re excited to launch the first of many Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Seasons. Each year, we’ll showcase a fresh set of projects that turns Bitcoin mining heat into real-world impact. For 2025, our focus is global food sustainability. Even now, many communities and regions lack reliable food security and access to modern financial tools. Bitcoin mining can help address both. By capturing miner heat, people can grow food locally while earning bitcoin and connecting to global commerce. Imagine a remote village with a short growing season but access to electricity or generators. With Bitcoin-heated cultivation, that community can extend the growing season indefinitely, feed itself, and use Bitcoin mining rewards to upgrade infrastructure, more reliable power, better facilities, and a higher quality of life. Also Bitcoiners are always wanting to be more self-sustaining, to know where their food comes from, and to avoid synthetic inputs common in industrial agriculture and commercial food supply chains. In Bitcoin we say, “Don’t trust, verify.” Apply it to food: grow it yourself and verify every input. “Proof-of-Work” your own food, no trust required, just quality, organic, self-sustaining harvests powered by Bitcoin heat. Throughout this season, we’ll share practical, open resources, designs, build guides, and results so anyone can adapt Bitcoin mining heat to their own goals. Follow along, grow with us, and let’s turn hashrate into harvest. Huge thanks to our sponsors for providing the tools, resources, and equipment that accelerated this season. Interested in sponsoring? There’s still time DM or email us. Together, we can address real-world problems with Bitcoin mining heat.

Open source mining firmware + AI = unstoppable. ⚡ For years, people have tried to chase excess solar power with bitcoin miners. Stock firmware doesn't let you adjust power at all. Third-party firmware was too slow, some even restarted mining every time you changed the target. 256 Foundation & Ryan Kuester's Mujina just solved that. In this video: what I've been building with RY3T for their upcoming RY3T NOVA. ☀️ It tracks a power target anywhere from 1,000W to 3,000W, stepless, within seconds. Connect it to your inverter or smart home and turn excess solar into sats, instead of selling it back to the grid for pennies. NOVA scales to 1-3 miners, up to 9kW. 🔋 Learn more at (CH and EU currently - interested other places? let me know) A lot more coming in the next few weeks. Open source bitcoin mining hardware + software + AI is about to get very interesting. 🚀

The IRS is giving you a 100% write-off for buying Bitcoin miners. Under current tax law, Bitcoin mining hardware qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation. That means if you are a business owner or investor, you can write off the entire cost of your miners this year. Keep in mind, it is for the year they are placed in service. So if you are planning to capture a deduction on your April 2027 tax bill, your miners need to be hashing prior to December 31, 2026. If you have capital gains, passive income, or just a big tax bill, this is one of the most sophisticated ways to achieve a write-off and achieve Bitcoin exposure. If you are serious about building wealth and reducing your tax burden, this is the move.

Upstream Data has a new software initiative starting with our LoadSync™ industrial bitcoin mining controller. We converted from PLC controls to a much more scalable embedded Linux based architecture. This project is led by b_rowan and James Hilliard. Brett gives an overview of what it can do today, but there's so much more coming soon! LoadSync is just the beginning of our software plans, I can't wait to show you what we have in store. Our long term goal for LoadSync is to have a drop-in product for every bitcoin mine on the planet at any scale. A complete fleet management tool for everything associated with a bitcoin mining load. LoadSync is built upon an open source library also maintained by Brett, called PyASIC. More and more bitcoin miners are integrating PyASIC every day, you should too! Go find it on GitHub. At Upstream Data we intend to continue leading the industry in technology, product application and high performance bitcoin mining infrastructure.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!! Been working like a dog for a launch this week.. I'm trying to be compact here... bear with me: Let's wrap up the last 6 months. Since the first BTCHEL event last year, we have: • Upgraded the BTCHEL Hub from a temporary pop-up shop to a permanent and versatile physical space for local bitcoiners. You're welcome to check it out on Fridays when we have open doors and free entry! • Promoted Kaisu Hyvärinen, an experienced event producer as the company's COO and hired new talent; Rachel Geyer, the chairman of European Bitcoin Energy Association, to lead a new event we're launching. Welcome to our team, Rachel! • Raised a seed stage funding round of 100,000€ on a million-euro valuation for the company. We now have two prominent Finnish bitcoin mining companies on board around the year. Now, what's next for 2026? Today marks the 200-day countdown to this year's BTCHEL WEEK and thus we start to push the momentum for real. We launch a new, european wide bitcoin mining industry event similar to what they have in the US... it's about time we have our own in Europe. It's called the EUROPEAN MINING SUMMIT 2026 or EMS in short. EMS is the must-attend industry event for anyone with an interest in bitcoin mining in Europe. Miners, hardware manufacturers, hosts, pools, power plants and the whole energy sector. Our goal is to bring as much hashrate to Europe as possible. This has a tremendous impact for Europe's energy independence, abundance and decarbonisation. Now that we have our trademark industry event where we serve our corporate clients, we can now double down on HC cypherpunk and bitcoin pleb culture at BTCHEL2026. We are committed to staying true to the community ethos at the main event, so be prepared to see the most audacious and unapologetic bitcoin event in September. For BTCHEL, our vision is the actualization of the global Bitcoin Standard, and we are taking care of the Nordics by becoming the most influential Bitcoin media in our region. For that reason, we are sponsoring two other bitcoin conferences here this year: Bitcoin Copenhagen on March 21st and Bitcoin Symposium in Stockholm on April 24th. We want to show support to different initiatives accelerating the local bitcoin adoption in the Nordics with us. I know the market sentiment for bitcoin has not been the best lately, but I'm more bullish than ever. Bear with us through 2026 🧡

BITCOIN RAILS #46: BITCOIN MINING IN THE AGE OF AI | with MARA CEO Fred Thiel 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: In response to the AI-driven shock in global demand for computing power, large players in the Bitcoin mining industry have been forced to make significant strategic shifts to remain competitive. MARA — the largest Bitcoin miner in the world by hashrate — is emerging as one of the more well-positioned beneficiaries of these changing tides, having transitioned from an “asset-light” strategy (via hosted mining at third-party facilities) to an “asset-heavy” approach (owning its own land, power, and infrastructure) just ahead of the AI compute wave in 2024/25. I sat down with MARA CEO Fred Thiel to discuss how these shifting industry dynamics are playing out in practice — as well as his perspective on how key mining-related security and infrastructure issues may evolve in the coming months and years. In this episode, we cover: — How MARA scaled from near-zero hash rate in 2020 to the largest Bitcoin miner globally by the end of 2023 — Key differences between operating Bitcoin mining facilities versus AI data centers, and where the two models meaningfully intersect — Why ownership of power generation — rather than reliance on PPAs — may represent a durable competitive edge for miners and AI data center operators over time — Why Bitcoin may be entering its “IPO phase,” and why recent price corrections could reflect increasing market maturity rather than structural weakness We also explore more technical and often under-discussed topics, such as heat reuse, open-source mining technologies, and the implications of US policy goals around Bitcoin mining. This episode offers a grounded, operator-level view of where Bitcoin mining is headed, informed by one of the most influential leaders in the public mining sector. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: — Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. — Spark (Lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. — Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) — a leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. TIMESTAMPS 📌 00:00 Intro 01:09 From Marathon Patent Group to MARA 06:35 Why Owning Infrastructure is Key 07:46 First Public Companies Mining Bitcoin 09:54 Data Centers For AI vs Bitcoin Mining Facilities 14:07 How AI Data Centers Will Look Going Forward 15:37 How MARA is Diversifying From Bitcoin Mining 19:03 Private Cloud and Data Security 22:20 The Exaion Partnership 26:03 Future of Bitcoin and AI 40:22 Innovative Approaches to AI and Bitcoin Mining 42:06 Challenges and Opportunities in Power Generation 45:38 Strategic International Partnerships 50:43 The Future of Real World Assets 53:53 Bitcoin Mining in China 57:24 Why MARA Runs Their Own Software 01:00:19 Where is Bitcoin Mining Headed 01:04:17 Benefits of Running a Mining Pool 01:07:17 Heat Reuse in Mining 01:12:23 The Role of Data Centers in Power Generation

I built a wallet app that sends sBTC using bitcoin addresses instead of Stacks addresses. That's layer 2 sats sent from bitcoin address to bitcoin address in seconds for < $0.01 via the Stacks network: ✅Standard bitcoin addresses ✅Standard sign and broadcast semantics ✅Confirmation in seconds ✅Low fees ✅Self-custody ✅Bitcoin finality While this wallet is a prototype that works only with native Segwit addresses and requires or Leather - Grow your Bitcoin for transaction signing, Bitcoin addresses for sBTC (or all Stacks assets) could be adopted natively by any wallets. It doesn't require any changes to the Stacks core network. This address scheme could even be expanded so that fast, easy and cheap layer 2 BTC transactions could also work with legacy addresses. Here's how it works: Bitcoin legacy and native segwit addresses along with Stacks addresses all encode the so-called "hash160" of the user's public key. This means we can convert these two types of bitcoin addresses into a Stacks address and any Stacks address into either a legacy or native segwit bitcoin address. Using bitcoin addresses instead of Stacks addresses allows us to reuse many of the payment standards and QR code formats that have already been developed for bitcoin. It makes sBTC a true layer 2 bitcoin.

It's important I transparently put my hand up and acknowledge that I was wrong. Here is a clip from the video where I address that. This was the most demanded feature from Bitcoiners in the Global South. For many in these regions, TRON operates as a practical USD on/off ramp, just like ACH or wire transfers, helping them access #Bitcoin more efficiently. According to customers, by not supporting it, we were unintentionally hindering adoption and not competitive with others like Binance. At Strike, our mission is to empower people around the world with #Bitcoin. In many markets outside the US, EU, and UK, this is the USD ramp customers need to reach #Bitcoin. By adding this feature, we make Strike a more accessible tool for billions, bridging the gap between their local currency, USDT, and #Bitcoin. TRON is a shitcoin. But the reality is, stablecoins (Tether) are very important in these markets. USD is a shitcoin. GBP is a shitcoin. So this decision for us was more about our commitment to being customer-focused by providing on and off ramps that further #Bitcoin adoption. The goal will always be enabling customers to transition into #Bitcoin on their own terms. #Bitcoin is our focus. After talking with Bitcoiners globally, we're confident this step will help more people to join the revolution.

BITCOIN RAILS #41 | Bitcoin Native Staking: When Trust Becomes the Bottleneck | with Babylon founder David Tse 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “99% of Bitcoin is held idle, not because of lack of interest, but because of lack of trust.” Not long after Ordinals (and BRC20) revitalized the “Bitcoin DeFi” narrative, Babylon seemingly leapt onto the scene with what felt like overnight success – locking several billion dollars of TVL in its “trustless Bitcoin staking” protocol. With some of the most interesting advisors and contributors in the space (...seriously, what other projects can claim both domo and яobin linus as collaborators?), Babylon quickly became a “BTC-Fi” Goliath – converting both Bitcoin Season 2 types and formerly staunch ETH maxis alike. In this episode, I sit down with creator David Tse to get the protocol's birth story - and learn how POS staking became the first truly trustless Bitcoin DeFi application in the world. In this episode, we cover: - Why smaller POS chains need better security… and how Bitcoin liquidity may be the answer to securing experimental chains in smaller ecosystems - How David’s former experiences in the Cosmos ecosystem informed the core thesis of using Bitcoin to secure smaller chains - A quick breakdown of Babylon’s staking architecture - and what exactly makes it “trustless” - Babylon’s relationship with BitVM, and the team’s lesser-known contributions to both BitVM2 and BitVM3 (Fun Fact: David Tse is яobin linus's PhD advisor at Stanford 🧑‍🎓) - Why Bitcoiners didn’t want to stake their Bitcoin for yield until now... and how the "trustlessness" thesis is already panning out (with 1 whale dropping a whopping 10K Bitcoin in the protocol just a few months back!) Bitcoin Rails is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. - Spark (Lightspark) — a Statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. - Citrea (Citrea) — the leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. 📌 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:38 Bitcoin++ Insights 01:52 David’s Background and Information Theory 05:34 Journey into Bitcoin and Blockchain 07:34 Scaling Bitcoin with Prism Protocol 10:38 Babylon and Cosmos Ecosystem 13:51 Bitcoin Staking and Security Mechanisms 24:49 The Importance of Reputation in Crypto 25:51 Partners and Announcements Break 27:25 Profile of Babylon Stakers 29:17 The Grand Vision for Babylon 32:40 Garbled Circuits and Secret Revelation 44:05 Trustless Bitcoin Vaults and Future Prospects

Most people think about Bitcoin treasury companies incorrectly Here is why I think they are good for Bitcoin & why they are misunderstood: 1) Treasury companies are capitalizing the Bitcoin industry for a century to come 2) They are future Bitcoin Banks 3) However, they are developing in the reverse order compared to everything else - monetization first and then later on core business activities -- Bitcoin has traditionally received $1 for every $100 in funds that Crypto took in - it has historically been challenging to raise money for Bitcoin focused businesses. My view is that Treasury companies are changing this, and while the first phase will simply be acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible - they will later need to ensure the value of Bitcoin grows and find ways to use BTC as capital in a larger marketplace. These firms will become the future Bitcoin Banks and also Bitcoin conglomerates. In this exact moment in time the best use of capital is simply buying Bitcoin. It's hard to meaningfully outperform BTC, and as such all these businesses will do for a while is acquire BTC. But eventually that shifts, and these firms will see more incentive to both grow and deploy Bitcoin. They then will provide capital which, among other things, supports Bitcoin businesses and projects. Many people struggle to contextualize the current "land rush" phase with what will come later. You need to take a longer view to understand these firms. The order of operations is also reversed here. Typically you build a business or technology and then as a final step monetize it via an IPO. With Bitcoin, stage 1 is looking more like direct monetization prior to creating value via products, etc. This is deeply counter intuitive to many people in traditional finance, and also to many Bitcoiners. However, because Bitcoin is primarily money at a base level it makes sense the developmental path it is taking differs significantly from other tech. The amount of time it will take for other investors to understand this presents an opportunity for those who see it sooner. More thoughts below 👇

What if #AI became as decentralized as #Bitcoin? We sat down with our new friend 3700 from Bitcoin Virtual Machine to hear what their incredible team of anons are working on - "Truly Open AI." Full interview here:👇 1: What positive impact will Layer 2s have on Bitcoin? Layer 2s on Bitcoin open up opportunities for innovation, allowing developers to build dApps and smart contracts on top of Bitcoin, expanding its utility and use cases. By submitting transactions for final settlement on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Layer 2 networks claim to achieve the same (or close to) level of security and decentralization as the Bitcoin blockchain. Building a separate execution layer allows them the freedom to employ several technologies (such as rollups). Layer 2 can significantly improve Bitcoin's scalability by processing transactions off-chain, reducing congestion on the main blockchain. Overall, Layer 2s on Bitcoin have the potential to address some of Bitcoin's key limitations, making it more efficient, accessible, and versatile in the long run. 2: What does the ETF approval mean for Layer 2 on Bitcoin? The approval of ETF could potentially have several implications for Layer 2 on Bitcoin: Innovation and Development: With a growing interest in Bitcoin spurred by ETF approval, there could be a surge in research and development efforts focused on enhancing Layer 2. Developers and projects may be incentivized to create new and improved Layer 2 protocols to meet the evolving needs of the expanding Bitcoin ecosystem. An ETF approval could boost mainstream Bitcoin adoption and liquidity. This influx of users may also drive interest in Layer 2 on Bitcoin as a means to enhance the scalability and functionality of Bitcoin. 3: What are the primary challenges facing L2s on Bitcoin? The interoperability of different Layer 2s and their compatibility with Bitcoin's main blockchain can be a challenge. Ensuring seamless interaction between various Layer 2 networks and the Bitcoin blockchain is essential for a cohesive and efficient ecosystem. Some Layer 2s may introduce centralization risks if they rely heavily on centralized entities or trusted intermediaries. Maintaining decentralization and censorship resistance, which are core tenets of Bitcoin, while scaling with Layer 2s is a challenge. 4: What aspects of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin are you most enthusiastic about? AI represents one of the cornerstones of our modern era. However, achieving a decentralized AI infrastructure, owned and managed by users, has posed significant challenges. The primary obstacle has been the limited capacity to store and execute AI models due to size and computational limitations. To address this challenge, we propose a new blockchain architecture enabling developers to deploy their own Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions tailored specifically for AI tasks, called Truly Open AI. These Layer 2 blockchains are optimized to handle computationally intensive tasks, such as matrix multiplication, directly on-chain. These Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions offer exceptional throughput, minimal latency, and cost-effectiveness. AI dApps are programmed as Solidity smart contracts, ensuring they operate precisely as intended, free from interference or manipulation. Our BVM AI Contracts Library simplifies the integration of neural networks into dApps, empowering developers to embed AI seamlessly. In summary, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the potential of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin to revolutionize decentralized AI by providing scalability, security, and accessibility. 5: How is your Layer 2 different from others being built? BVM distinguishes itself as a Modular infrastructure that empowers thousands of distinct Bitcoin Layer 2 networks, spanning Gaming, DeFi, Social, and AI applications. We're continuously enriching the BVM Module Store with new modules to enhance its capabilities. With each new module, builders gain access to a wider array of tools to explore different use cases on the Bitcoin network. Recent additions include the Filecoin module for affordable storage and the AI Contracts Library for constructing AI-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 chains. We're also gearing up to release a ZK roll-up module in the coming weeks to offer an alternative to the standard optimistic roll-up. We aim to simplify the process of launching a Bitcoin Layer 2 network customized to specific requirements. Think of it as a SaaS offering with predefined best practices. Whether it's a DeFi Bitcoin Layer 2 or a GameFi Bitcoin Layer 2, we provide default solutions tailored to each use case. We're dedicated to expanding the BVM ecosystem by incentivizing more builders to join the Bitcoin network. Through various programs and grants, we support builders in covering their operational costs for Bitcoin Layer 2. Additionally, we offer rewards akin to 'L2 mining' to those who contribute to expanding the user base and total value locked on the network. In summary, BVM stands out with its modular infrastructure, tailored solutions, and efforts to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Did Epstein influence Bitcoin core development? Short answer: No. This is not how Bitcoin works. Here’s what happened: Epstein donated to MIT Media Lab…who in turn supported MIT Digital Currency Initiative…which in turn funded Bitcoin developers. These devs used to be funded by The Bitcoin Foundation (which I used to run as volunteer Executive Director) there are many devs and no dev or team had power or control over Bitcoin. Under MIT’s patronage the devs had the same deal they had with us at The Bitcoin Foundation: that they could work on the code and not have direction from the org. More importantly — how Bitcoin works is that *even if* a dev was compromised then the nodes and miners would still have to run that code to make it included in Bitcoin. So for example if I had somehow asked the devs paid by Bitcoin Foundation to “add 1000 coins for Bruce” 1) they wouldn’t have done this / it would have been counter to our agreement 2) no miners would run that code & no nodes would recognize it. It would be a laughing stock and completely rejected. Does this mean code dev is not an attack vector? No. It’s still a risk. Particularly with nation state style actors and very careful efforts to co-opt which are much more sophisticated than “give Bruce coins” or something. This is one reason I’m cautious of Bitcoin core funding - especially from actors who’ve had bad judgment in the past. I think we should be cautious of who does the dev and view it as an attack vector. Bitcoin code is transparent and has lots of eyes on it. So in this case especially there isn’t even a solid accusation, let alone evidence that MIT directed nefarious code changes. If that was an allegation the first question should be: well what code specifically did MIT direct and what proof is there and how was it harmful? I think claims around this would collapse. There’s obviously plenty to criticize about Epstein and MIT working with him — and when it comes to digital assets MIT’s work with Gensler and especially its work on CBDCs is much more suspect than the chance that malicious code was pushed through on Bitcoin. Be cautious but this is a nothing burger

Exactly 1 year ago, I launched #Bitcoin Backstage alongside Bitcoin Magazine. It was a project that's sole purpose was to build a bridge between the bitcoin community and the normies, making the trending topics more digestible. As I watch the first couple of episodes, all I can think is how much we have grown, how we have improved, and how much love, sweat and tears have gone to this project. Andrea and I launched this project PEAK bear market, with all the odds against us. To those that are creating or want to start something but are waiting for the right moment, let me tell you something: the perfect moment DOES NOT exist. Launch your project NOW. Perfect it along the way. Get feedback. Evolve. But STOP waiting for the "right moment" because that moment will never come. In order to make you 52 episode, you need to make your first. So, thank you for those that watch the show and have been following. And thank you bitcoin magazine for allowing me to produce, host and publish BBS🧡🥹

Being rich is not FU MONEY. (sorry for the low volume. there are critters around me) There are many people in this space who are "rich". But they are not free. If you ask a lot of people "What does it mean to be free?" you get 3 core principles. "Being free means to do what I want, when I want, and with whom I want." 1. To do "what you want" you have to know yourself and what makes you happy and fulfilled. To have purpose. 2. "When I want" means time. This is you most precious gift, pleb. I see my last block out there on the horizon being mined. Don't waste time. Understand when you have enough, and get on with your life. 3. "With whom I want" means you need to cultivate deep friendships NOW so that at the end of your life people remember you as someone they admired and loved. There are people in this Bitcoin space who will never have enough things, or enough Bitcoin. They will stand in front of you at a Bitcoin conference and never engage with you while "working the room" with their eyes. You can have FU MONEY sooner than you think. Think quietly on the above and realize it is not a number. It's what is between your ears and in your heart.

We introduce the five markets of the OpenAgents Marketplace, launching one per week starting March 11th: 1. COMPUTE - Sell your spare compute for bitcoin. A reboot of our most popular product launch (GPUtopia in 2023), now optimized for agents. Launches March 11. 2. DATA - Sell your spare data. For example those Claude Code or Codex conversations sitting on your computer are highly valuable. Redact the sensitive info, anonymize any of it you want, and sell the rest. Agents as data brokers: what else will they want to buy or sell? Launches March 18. 3. LABOR - Sell autonomous labor. Your Claude Code or Codex sits idle overnight. Turn that downtime into uptime by letting your agents accept and execute coding or other tasks for bitcoin while you sleep. Launches March 25. 4. LIQUIDITY - Provide liquidity for yield. Automate the management of Lightning channels or other Bitcoin-native financial instruments. Let your agent put your idle capital to work earning returns. Launches April 1. 5. RISK - Underwrite verification and performance bonds. The biggest barrier to agent adoption is trust. We built an Economy Kernel based on the recent "Some Simple Economics of AGI" paper where agents stake collateral to verify work and guarantee outcomes. Launches April 8. "Your entry point to all of these markets is going to be Autopilot. We're really focusing on Autopilot as a desktop app. So along with the launch of our compute market, we're going to launch version 0.1 of Autopilot, your personal agent. Think OpenClaw but with a built-in bitcoin wallet, built-in Nostr keypair, and a more curated set of integrations where we can better reason about the security of them." "Because all this is on open networks and open protocols, if you're a Nostr or Bitcoin developer, you'll be able to plug into this same liquidity pool we are building." After 200+ episodes chronicling 2+ years of development, we are excited to finally launch the open marketplace for agents. We are excited for you to participate. And we will measure our success by how much Bitcoin you get paid!
