Every farmer a miner. Few understand this.

Bitcoin Mining Clothes Dryer
https://i.imgur.com/w4lVCSN.mp4
Here at the homestead we host guests at our house as well as a 20ft yurt so one of the largest power usages is the electric clothes dryer. In the busy season, the dryer is usually running for several hours a day. It made a lot of sense to use a Bitcoin miner for the heat instead of the heating element in the dryer.

I tried to use what I already had as much as possible to connect the miner to the dryer, so for less than $100 I was able to make it work. Basically needed a 20a 220v breaker and 220v outlet plus some ductwork. I simply cut a hole in the heating duct in the back of the dryer and attached a 6in duct coupling to it. If I need to I can cap off the coupling and continue to use the dryer as normal. Basically if the Bitcoin miner breaks down I won't be stranded without a dryer.

To operate, I set the dryer to timed dry, set the heat to air dry, and turn on the miner. After using it for a dozen loads or so it definitely works well. Next I will be working on how to reduce the noise from the miner fans but to start I wanted to make sure it was capable of drying laundry first. Feels good to get sats back for one one of the largest power usages on the homestead!

I've been making some small improvements to the bitcoin mining systems here at the homestead over the past couple weeks. Now that the last winter before the halving is approaching, I'm trying to prepare to make the most of it with the equipment I have. Once things slow down (and cool down)  in November look for some more Bitcoin mining focused notes!

This is super clever!


Looking forward to digging into this. Thanks.


Heating the yurt with an S9 running on excess solar power

There are no guests staying in the yurt today so I'm using it as an office to polish up my presentation for the SWMI bitcoin meetup tonight.
https://i.nostr.build/B8AP.jpg
The sun is shining and the batteries are charged so I plugged in my mobile S9 space heater to take the chill out of the air from the night before. Batteries at 27v, panels making 800w of power and the miner is set to 500w. Good for about 6 terahash of free heat directly into the yurt thanks to the sun. Doing my part to keep the network decentralized and transactions time stamped all while getting 500w of heat out of the deal.

I also have a miner dehydrating squash seeds and simultaneously heating my house as well as a miner drying my laundry. Max hashing!

Amazing work!!


Probably this is why they say bitcoin is use for money laundering… 🤪


That's impressive.  Very well done.


One year ago I recorded a podcast with nostr:npub1jcympy69pht7ptan39se4nd09e4q66qhey649uu3rczm2zh88c7s0n2890 talking permaculture and bitcoin in general.
https://v.nostr.build/dKxP.mp4
This clip is a good summary of my high level thoughts on Permaculture and Bitcoin and was basically the ideal I was working towards throughout the year.
nostr:nevent1qqstwecn8fdcx5jxd233trfgzrd2njml8h8qwp2tuzn03c0txf8jacqt2gx08
The podcast as a whole provides a good reference point for a lot of what has happened on the homestead over the last year. I'm not sure why I thought to detail so many of my plans for the year, maybe hold myself accountable. All in all, I was able to accomplish almost everything I mentioned throughout the podcast in the last year. Take a listen and check out this year in review mega note.

February was defined by maple syrup production, the threads aren't as cohesive as I was still learning Nostr and developing my style.

March the highlight was working on the 20ft tiny house, still haven't quite figured out Nostr.

April was marked the completion of the Bitcoin mining dehydrator, one of highlights of the whole year for the homestead.

May was the sweet spot of sunlight and waning colder temperatures which lead to lots of pleb mining at the homestead. The solar power was flowing and the dehydrator was constantly loaded. The cold frame was growing cannabis and the portable S9 space heater was saving lambs from hypothermia.

July the bitcoin mining clothes dryer was completed in the peak of the summer tourist season. A project I have been thinking about and working towards for over 6 months.

What a wild year, it's been all that more amazing to share it with everyone on Nostr. Permaculture, Bitcoin, and Nostr is facilitating a new permanent culture in which we are all building together!

Permaculture Bitcoin Mining Discussion tonight 8pm Eastern on Nostr Nests.
https://i.nostr.build/XWGR.jpg
For the March Permaculture Nest tonight, I'll be talking my approach to mining through the permaculture lense. I'll go over some principles of home mining and talk about some of the ways I'm using Bitcoin miners to do work for me. I would be happy to hear about other home mining setups as well as answer questions related to mining in general, home mining and permaculture. Keep an eye out for the link this evening

Ooh shit I’m joining when I get home


Been thinking about this. I've been in permaculture for around 15 years, Bitcoin for about 13.

Properties with waterfalls or enough drop and flow for micro hydro are the target.


Will try and join.
