no cheating please


To recap, the base structure and outer walls are now joined. It looks like a big rectangle box with vent holes on the side.

You can see in the first picture how some of the edges are raised, these need to be level with the rest of the wall so that I can do the finishing work later. https://image.nostr.build/084d8fd3f8c828018bee5262bf69a62c1045b24330bcad52249cdb1aa5cf844e.png

Some of the screws were sticking out so I had to take them out and make a deeper hole in the wood so the screws sink in more before I can remove the edges. https://image.nostr.build/fbb9d2eeca335d6d54ce8d771dcbeef80f7e664baa9a15c8524f9cfae610ae59.png

I also removed the staples from the outside of the structure before working on levelling the edges.  https://image.nostr.build/9db4f8eeaae8afd75dfc8635d773f4cbec407d342a7da969aedb0a11ba101eea.png

Now I am all set to start using a planer machine to begin levelling this edges. My first time using this machine and I watched a few YouTube videos on how use it properly and safely.  https://image.nostr.build/d5f56123ad80313f96954f28fa94ec02e98c0f3165aff513c9a7a41b6de9274c.png

I start using the planer and Fvck up the wall in less than 30 seconds. 😅 🤣 https://image.nostr.build/895455dc5db1c0ae5f7deaf801518b235e47f722d1ee227651a0eed209e45c7a.png

Made some rookie mistakes here and decided not to use the planer and I resorted to using a simple sanding machine to level everything down. This is minor damage and won't be seen anyway as it is an internal wall within the completed unit. Lesson learned and it was not too expensive. 😌

Now the outside of the structure is nice and level and ready for the finishing work. But first, I need to make and fit in the two internal walls.

gn nostr, until we meet next time 👋


It looked like the side walls were slightly uneven so I spent some time using a spirit level tool to check each section of the walls. Any high bits were sanded down to make sure the walls were level with each other before attaching the base/bottom structure that I made in the last post.

Now that the walls were nice and even, I flipped the walls upside down so I could attach the base structure to it.

I lined up the bottom of the structure to the four walls and used tape to temporarily attach it together. Next, I drilled a bunch of holes through the bottom of the base and through the walls. 3 for each long wall and 2 for each short wall (10 screws total). I put the screws in and removed the tape. I then removed the screws and separated the base from the walls and added the glue to permanently join the two pieces together. I put the screws back in and left it to dry. It looked quite good with only a few small edges sticking out (easy to sand down).

Next up was to make a strong base to support the weight of the miner and the structure that sits above.

I cut 3 long pieces of wood for the length, 2 pieces for the outer width, and 4 smaller pieces for the inner bit. I kept Fvking up the sizes so I spent a silly amount of time to sand everything down to the right size so it fits together properly. 😠💢

Now that the wood pieces are the right size, I shaped the outer portion first, glued and stapled it together, Then worked on the middle pieces of wood and did the same. I waiting a few hours for the glue to dry up enough so I could start drilling some holes through each joint. 10 screws around the edges and then 4 screws in the middle pieces. I had to drill diagonally for the middle pieces which was tricky. I put some glue on the screws here and fitted them in, you know, so it's extra secure. 😆

Then I glued the frame to a sheet of wood, waited a few hours for to dry then filled the cavity with soundproofing material (Rockwool). Soon after, I put some glue on frame and then sealed it off with another large sheet of wood.

✅ Base structure, DONE ✅ 😌

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue #Soundproofing


Now the two short walls are done and the two long walls are done. ✅

I sanded down all four sides of each wall so they were nice and smooth.

I then joined the four walls together temporarily with a staple gun and some tape so that they were lined up and ready for more permanent joining methods.

I drilled a hole through each of the four joints of the structure so I could join it all together with a long screw (two screws for each joint). Now that the screws are in place, I removed the tape and staples. Next, I undone the screws slightly so I could slip in some glue in all four of the joints and then re-tightened the screws so all four walls would be permanently stuck together.

It took some time to get this right to ensure a perfect or near perfect rectangle is made and everything is level. 💪

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue


I forgot to make the external vent frames for the long walls and realised the next day. 😅

The following day, I made the frames. Without this, we would have insulation material flying out and we don't want that! 😷

I cut these frames out with a handheld jigsaw machine which was quick to do.

After the frames down were stuck down, I filled the wall cavity with soundproofing material and sealed it with the other sheet of wood (like a sandwich).

You are now safe from the insulation fibres flying out of the wall. 😄

Scrolled past this an hour ago and was wondering why the Fvck this is on my feed... realised it is here because the orange coin is pumping.


too cute!


Next, I picked up some RockWool soundproofing insulation material, cut it to size and filled the wall cavity. (best to do this outside, wear a mask, goggles and keep your skin covered) 😷

I then glued the frame and sealed it shut with another thin wooden panel (😋 LIKE A TASTY SANDWICH 😋).🤣

Right after gluing it shut, I staple gunned it, then added weight to compress it slightly.

Then waited around 24 hours for the glue to dry and spent another few hours sanding down the edges so everything is nice and straight.

Now I have x2 long walls done, x2 short walls done which can form a large rectangle box ✅

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue #Soundproofing


Next, I glued one sheet of the wooden panel to the wooden frame and compressed it with some weights. I let it set for a few hours then stapled gunned it together. I then added some weight to compress it again and let the glue settle for around 24 hours before moving anything.

 https://image.nostr.build/0018e013ac8f82320a73c25dd5f357e0d672c9d86be433953d851f5fcf6e8ca1.png

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue


I forgot that I needed to make the smaller frames to close off the gap near the vent holes otherwise we would have insulation material flying out!

So I ended up making them the next day 😃

These small rectangular pieces took forever to cut because I had to do it with a HAND saw. 😭  I had to do it this way because they were too small to cut with my other handheld machines (16 pieces total, 4 for each vent on the visible walls).

These small pieces were attached to the thin wooden wall with a staple gun.

https://image.nostr.build/04a90cc5a297e11d34db824d290e9e3b30702a923dc6c95aea31213e16a79726.png walls

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Noob #Drilling #Cutting


Fvcked up some more wood!

I recently cut some wood to make the inner wall frames. These frames were then joined together using a drill machine and some screws. I spent forever trying to make nice square/rectangle frames but they ended up being bent... sooo, I got my hands on a staple gun which made life so much easier.

Just set the wood on the floor, make the loose frame and staple it together. Once the frame it lightly joined with the staples, THEN drill the holes in and put the screw in. The visible portion of the hole it needs to be bigger so the screw head levels off with the wood, this way it is smooth to touch and not lumpy.

Each frame had 4 screws going in the sides to keep it nice and solid.

Then put the Jigsaw blade through the hole and cut the vent hole out for the walls.

You can see how bent my cut is 🤣 and it's the same for all the other cuts. I tried to sand it down after so it was more straight. 😃

I cut a few circle holes out for the inner walls and these were much easier to cut to the right shape with a jigsaw machine. (surprised me)

I cut out 6 vent holes in total. 4 on the outer walls and 2 for the inner walls.

Next I will need to make the structural frames for the walls and fill it with soundproof/fireproof materials.

I totally forgot!

Before I do what I said in the last post, I still need to cut out the vent holes in the sheets of wood I recently cut to size.

I spent sometime thinking how to do that and the best thing I could come up with is to do the following.

1) Draw on the wood to highlighting what size hole needs to be cut (going to be a square hole because I think a circle hole on a rectangle box would look weird???)
2) Drill a small hole in the centre. I might just stab it with a knife if I can't get my hands on a small drilling machine.
3) Use a jigsaw (has a small thin blade which goes up and down) stick it through the small hole that was made and cut the square hole to the right size.
4) Sand down the inner edges to make it nice square and smooth.

Never used a drill machine or a jigsaw so this should be fun 😅

Also, the UK has horrible weather this week non stop rain 🌧

gm,

Have a productive and healthy week! 🙏


Beautiful <3


gm, made some good progress so far.

I finished cutting the main pieces of wood. So now I can put everything together to form a really rough & ugly looking rectangular box with compartments.

Problem is that I need take out the crappy filler material inside of the wood walls and add in some extra wood for the edges that will keep the structure strong.

Then I need to fill the walls with possibly fibreglass insulation to make it more soundproof.

For example, imagine a sandwich, the filling is the fibreglass, the bread is the wood I just cut, and I need to add in some more wood for the edges to seal of the sandwich (wall).

If I was ever going to ruin for a state level public office, here's what I would base my entire campaign on:
1. Ending daylight savings.
2. Ending the practice of property taxes being used to fund schools.
3. End income taxes and move to a higher sales tax on all good that are not: rent/mortgage, first vehicle for a household, medicine/healthcare/services, clothing items up to ~$250 (you can buy good steel toed boots or a decent enough suit for that amount of dirty fiat), and food (meaning actual food, not prepared or pre-packaged stuff; potatoes would be untaxed but a bag of chips would be subject to tax)
4. Reinstate 10th amendment controls on the state, meaning, the FedGov can get bent. Anything produced and sold within the state shall not be subject to any tax or regulation from the FedGov. Period. Run a local business? You will not have to pay federal income taxes. Part of this will be using the state level judiciary to defend anyone who is persecuted by the FedGov, and also passing laws to prevent any state or subjected municipal levels below the state from aiding and abeting any federal agency for any reason, especially the IRS or FBI, and installing civil penalties if any LEO or agency is found to collude with said deeded agencies or agents.
5. End civil asset forfeiture.
6. End qualified immunity and instate policy that all LEOs will henceforth operate under commonlaw practice as justices  the peace and not revenue generation agencies. This will be accomplished primarily through requiring each officer to carry liability insurance. If they are uninsurable, they cannot continue in their position.
7. Increase penalties for fraud and corruption for all civil servants.
8. Break the backs of all public sector unions.
9. Move all computer systems in the state to Linux and FOSS systems and legally prohibit data harvesting and databases that breach public trust and privacy. This will include policy for bug finding, penetration testing, and extensive external auditing.
10. End all professional licensing requirements.
11. End all prohibitions on drugs and food. Want to do cocaine? Have at it. Want to eat raw cheese? Enjoy.
12. Eliminate restraints on judges to sentence criminals. Instate policy to punish crime harshly, and define crime as only actions that produce victims.
13. Declare that money is not taxable. Declare that BTC and precious metals are money.
14. Eliminate concealed carry licensing requirements. Make it easier to apply for one for purposes of reciprocity and insurance.
15. Pass the "Defend The Guard Act."
16. Pass an anti-geoengineering bill (just in case).
17. Pass laws restricting zoning enforcement to only properties that pass certain criteria (immediately adjacent domiciles, building a building that could fall and take out other people's property, facilities that are open to the public commercially, specifically not to include PMAs, etc.)
18. Formally recognize PMAs.
19. Limit any and all emergency powers by both time and extent.
20. Fund building several SMRs all over the state or allow private corporations to build them under an advisory committee.

I think that's enough for now. Mostly just thinking about a bunch of things. I'm actively anti-political, but, I still think about these things sometimes.

tl;dr for my pleebs

"Britain is still viewed as a desirable place to live, even if we worry about its decline. Restoring that greatness is what we should focus on."

"We’ve been pitted against each other as a distraction. But at the core, we all want the same things: less crime, lower taxes, and functioning public services. These are achievable goals, but only if we stop letting politicians divide us."

"The path forward must be one based on liberty and freedom. Every political decision should be evaluated by a simple question: 'Does this make people more free or less free?'"


Never seen a pepe move like that, must be rare.

🌧  Rainy day in the UK so it's time for a random post. 🌧

Property rights is an interesting topic because depending on who you ask, they have a different view about it. But it in some circumstances when asked a specific question, most would agree on a single answer.

For example:
Question - If one person in the world owned nearly everything in the world and everyone else owned nothing, does property rights make sense here?

Answer - Most would answer that it is unfair that the one person owned nearly all of the worlds economic resources and the others are left no ownership of any assets. Most would also answer that everyone else is being exploited largely for the benefit of the one individual who had ownership of everything in the world. Therefore, most would answer that there should be an equitable distribution of economic resources to those who have nothing. For simplicity lets say we are just talking about land and everything on that piece of land.

However, you have to ask many more questions before answering the above question if you want to answer it correctly.

For example:
1) Did that one person acquire ownership of everything by way of violence, theft and or fraud?
Or...
2) Was the ownership of assets acquired by way of trading value for value co-operatively?

If the former, then clearly there is no property rights in existence anyway. If the latter, you can argue that the individual provided something of value to have such a level of ownership of the worlds economic resources. Therefore, property rights does make sense and the normie answer above is incorrect. This is because the acquisition of resources was conducted in an ethical and moral manner which means that the resulting distribution in resources is fair.

Now someone will argue that anyone who has amassed such a high level of ownership of the worlds economic resources has likely in some way shape or form directly or indirectly benefited from violence, theft and/or fraud. Therefore, the person who owns absolutely nothing will argue that they should be granted an equitable distribution of economic resources because that one person made partial economic gains through unethical and immoral means.

The person who owns nothing is not necessarily arguing against property rights, but he/she is actually arguing for justice or a system of justice.

Justice is another large topic to discuss and but it is relevant to the matter.

For simplicity however, I think you have to draw a line in the sand decide whether you want to move ahead or stay behind. Meaning...
1) Do you want to move forward in a way which is respectful of someone else's property and your own property?
Or...
2) Do you want go backwards and entertain violence, theft and or fraud?

Are there any good books about this topic that anyone can recommend❓ #asknostr #books

Making a little bit more progress on the orangepowthing! I cut some more wood to the right size, only a few pieces today.

Building physical things at a nice slow/medium pace is quite meditative, especially with the sun shining ☀ and the wind blowing 💨 . Physically tiring but still nice to do 😄

#buidl


I never thought it could be so long and tedious to cut some wood properly 😆 But today, some wood was finally cut!

 https://image.nostr.build/5cbfab25e9034018fe32e8b07b292d14a984eb0357ef64987481df72a4b86475.png

I borrowed some tools (well everything) to do the cuts. Just basic tools, nothing super professional... Yet, it was enough to get some reasonable cuts.

I used a bunch of things:
1) Circular Saw
2) Two tables to balance the wood
3) A couple of clamps to clamp the wood to the table
4) Measuring tape and a pencil
5) Some scrap straight wood as a cutting guide rail
6) Safety Goggles
7) No mask because I want the wood particles in my lungs (joke)
8) Straight edge thing to draw lines
9) Youtube to learn the tips and tricks to cut things and not body parts accidentally; links below (because it is my first time doing this stuff)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7QOhRRlr6A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPz1orpvbyI&t=91s
10) One time assistance from someone who knows how to use the circular saw safely

I had some issues, some wood splintering off the edges where it was cut, missing the cut lines etc. but nothing too bad that it can't be fixed or at least attempted again.

I only managed to cut a few pieces today because this was my first time getting everything organised and getting educated on how to do this properly. I should be faster next time round and I hope in a few days I can get almost everything cut. 🥈

I managed to pick up some pieces of wood for a reasonable price which are nice and light yet very sturdy due the special inner material. Not sure if I will apply the finishing to these pieces of wood or if I should get some nice already finished pieces of thin wood and just glue it on the frame. 🤔 Either way, it needs to look good and look good in orange.

Alby on Umbrel uses Umbrel's internal LND app for all the lightning-related management. It inherits LND's capabilities on your Umbrel's. NWC connections are done through Nostr.
-JP


I guess if my Bitcoin/LND node is running on TOR, then Alby will also use TOR as well which is what you are saying I think.

What is NWC? I never heard of it.


nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm

If I use Umbrel and download Alby Hub on it, does Alby Hub run through TOR, or would it leak your I.P address?

or is it better to download Alby Hub on Windows and route it through a VPN?


These are the final two design images with no further changes to be made. 😃  Bird eye view and the side view.

The miner and fan adapter was updated to be more true to scale.
I decided to use only 1 brown fan instead of 2 near the miner intake because of space issues. So only 3 additional fans in total.

I might be missing a few things but 90% of the design planning is done. It's best to start getting the materials ready and cutting everything to size now before winter really kicks in!

Back to the birds eye view of the unit. Small changes here.

1) Removed the brown angled inner wall, no real need I think. I thought it would help direct the airflow but probably not necessary.
2) The holes on the exterior walls have been resized down to 150mm from 200mm with inner padding removed

First globally adopted SoV by 2030, then after comes the mainstream use of it as a high powered money for circular Bitcoin based economies.


Something new now, a side shot of the unit to scale.

Originally the 200mm exits holes looked way to big, so I resized them down to 150mm in this picture (green and red square). There is not much space for soundproofing material above and below the miner but it should be fine as I am looking to use thin wood and sandwich some soundproof material in the middle of the wood (the black exterior walls in the picture).

The brown line are extra fans and the black angled square is also an extra fan (4 additional fans I am thinking of adding in).

Me too. Say good bye to the long Ethernet cables flying around the house :)


With this design update everything is slowly coming to together and is being built more to scale.

The unit is slightly wider than the prior design image so it now has a similar size to a coffee table.

I decided to flatten the inner triangle shaped brown wall on the left side of the unit and pushed the black intake fans closer to the outside wall. I resized and shaped the soundproof/heatproof padding near the miner intake and exhaust.

https://image.nostr.build/bdf95c1d15fcd0a4f6d58bf8f019163718fd203b6a8031129d672a9d45b16584.png

#mining #antminer #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproof #heatproof #design


Building on my design post 18 days ago. I decided on adding some ducting to help keep the hot air contained and forced out rather than having the warm air build up the internal compartment (right side of unit). It's also much easier to use ducting here than trying to build a custom internal unit! I'll need a Y ducting piece for this, can buy one or can easily make it with existing materials in the garage. This contrasts to the cold air section (left side of unit) where there is no ducting, just maximum room for air to flow in.

I thought about how big to make the airflow holes on the visible outside of the unit. I also thought about how it can be finished and what type of soundproof padding to use near it to make it look nice.

https://image.nostr.build/baa01ca9d25e53bb95ff2ebb24d566f5332f7c38fa782333b9e840b34db28fa1.png

#mining #antminer #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproof #heatproof #design


I thought about a new design idea but scrapped it after about 30 minutes of thinking about it.

Even though it looks interesting and would help a lot with the soundproofing, the internal build would be complicated for me. The maintenance would probably be more difficult if something needed to be fixed.

So in the image below, the idea was to have the miner angled slightly and have the internal air flow in an S shape for the intake and the exhaust. Sounds nice, but slightly complicated. Pass.

 https://image.nostr.build/7ffabbe3bf666e1f5f4646845712023342569a185f9d712d6a7f73f3e5e8f3bd.png

I saw a #ETH in the post and scrolled away rapidly.


Last two weeks have been wild, and not in a good way (family death, me getting sick and busy with work)... 😞

I have not made any progress on the orange project over the past two weeks!

But the show must go on and I'll be posting up all the final designs right here and right now. LFG 🔥


Jack is looking jacked! I need to get back to lifting 😅


Sure... but have a good balance for all things that are important.


gm,

Been a busy week!

Not had much time to make anything #orange, but I will get back on the grind come Monday.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

gn, over and out ✌


We are getting very close to the final design now with only some small tweaks ahead! 😅 😌 (Picture attached is a birds eye view with the top off)

This picture is mostly to scale... (note: the miner and the fan attachment is slightly not to scale, though it is close)

1) Greyish/black thick lines are the walls. Will be keeping all the walls straight to keep it simple.
2) Light blue thick lines are the internal soundproofing/heatproofing materials.
3) Dark black thick lines are the big fans at the back (you can see two).
4) The brown thick line is the two vertical stacked fans which are smaller and higher max RPM than the big black fans.
5) Cool air through the holes in the left (marked green), air goes through the fans, into the miner and out through the holes on the right (marked red).

https://image.nostr.build/3a0619af9768eff451550613b77e23a39fde159587de8078f8d456f1f27514f2.png

#mining #antminer #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproof #heatproof #design


Cleaned up the drawing from the last post and added some angled internal walls instead of a straight wall (near the left of the miner)

The items in the picture are not to scale. I was trying to get a feel for the internal design and how big I wanted the whole thing to be.

https://image.nostr.build/724b66369cc41c402ba74494f4e88e72ec24c32617be5bc4127e1fac3f078608.png

#mining #antminer #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproofing #design


By this point I'm starting to feel the final product/design and came up with this birds eye view of the inside (with the top off).

There are 3 internal compartments. One for cold air coming in, one for the miner to absorb sound, one for the hot air outflow.

I decided that I did not want the fans attached near the outside of the case. Prefer to not see the fans from the outside, so they will all be tucked inside the compartment.

Brown lines in the picture are the additional fans.
Orange rectangle in the middle is the miner.

The first two fans at the back will be slightly bigger fans maybe 160mm - 200mm in size.
The other two fans near the miner intake will be maybe 140mm - 160mm in size and stacked vertically.

So towards the left, you have the bigger fans with lower RPM because it is near the hole where sound can leak out. Bigger fans are generally quieter (assuming the same RPM as a smaller fan). Then in the middle is a slightly smaller higher RPM fan which is deeper in the box. Then you have the 120mm loud 6k RPM ear chewing fans from the miner deep in the middle of the box.

The blue triangles are extra internal walls to help direct the airflow and the fans are angled to assist airflow direction.

https://image.nostr.build/8f8999384ee26309f3b286738fe63125053a5fa733db9bc02a074ede54fe32c5.png


Next up, I was trying to get a feel of what the hole cut outs would look like on the outside and on the inside. Made it all to scale. First two pictures are the internal walls.

I was also thinking about:
1) How to attach the fans
2) If the fans should be visible or not (or partly visible) from the outside
3) If I should leave space around the extra internal fans for additional airflow if I want to run the miner at full speed (because the extra fans that I add in will be slower and bigger with less airflow (to keep things quiet) VS the miner fans which are very loud small with high airflow)

https://image.nostr.build/f03925241682631baf580783af97aaf74a1e06225207538d173944c0e9ee52a4.png https://image.nostr.build/dc3ee78a0a1e6c7a4a54ba63eb7bed740a7e963721935f3e196259c2cdd6ef31.png https://image.nostr.build/5b3710c7df59ce76b565e1ea1082612eeb28d3edcf01499a1bb169fb97f21fad.png

Shout out to the professional #graphicdesigners, you got nothing on my mad ppt skills.

Once you figured out the size of each piece of material you need, you can make small scaled models in powerpoint (see picture) which show you if have enough material to get the cuts you want. (example - blue is the raw material / yellow is the cut you want).

#wood #woodworking #withbillgates


Having figured out what I wanted to make and why... I settled on the idea that this orangepowthing would have 3 internal compartments.

1) One for additional fans and cold air intake
2) One for the miner to dampen the noise
3) One for the hot air vents

I figured I should put two smaller holes on each side so it's a little bit less likely for the noise to seep out VS. a single big hole at the front and the back.

I also thought about the finish on the outside.  https://image.nostr.build/3e5d7af04233d886860216a6db283f0ed1995de700762ff29ac446a87eb8ed4e.png

Just replaced the fans on this bad boy and using it to heat up the house since it's chilly in the UK.

Under-clocked it so it runs quieter at 56 decibels vs the usual 76 decibels when it run fast and hot.

Next up I thought a little bit about how I could make the outside look #sexy. I felt like #orange was the way to go, and I like black, so orange and black it is.

https://image.nostr.build/62ddfb8f33a680f88acfed155c725b10872be21e4ebf449a32cd731f708ba297.png

But after visualising how nice it would look on the outside, I realised it would look like trash with tentacles hanging outside of the structure.

SO AT THAT VERY MOMENT I HAD A MID LIFE ORANGEPOWTHING DESIGN CRISIS... so I spent another day or two pondering about what I wanted to make... and then BOOM, it came to me.

1) I don't want to have a fucking pipe dangling around the house
2) If I'm going to make something, it better look #sexy
3) I like coffee
4) So I finally settled on what I wanted to make... It will be a bitcoin miner / space heater / coffee table / artwork.

This is a 4 in 1 project. I'm happy with this idea. This means I need to redesign everything... again... lol

#mining #antminer #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproofing #design


With my thinking cap firmly on my head. It had occurred to me that I forgot to decide how to attach the walls together. For example, does the short wall sit inside of the two long walls? Or does the short wall go outside of the two long walls?

The next picture is me saying yes, the short walls get sandwiched in between the long two walls, the base and the lid.
I also thought about how big the vent holes needed to be and where the power cables needed to go.

https://image.nostr.build/37612a8b213c838df70e12a62528208ed538b8798589003933493e67868806c4.png

#mining #antminer #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproofing #design #thinking


Next up, I spent a bunch of time thinking about:

1) The total size of the structure.
2) The thickness of the insulation/soundproofing materials that I should use.
3) How much space to leave around items like the miner and the fans.
4) Size of each compartment (fan box at the back and miner box at the front).
5) Should I make the wooden walls very thick and solid or should make it thin and layer in soundproof material.
6) Should I let the fan attachment stick out for ease of pipe/venting attachment or should it stay inside the structure.
7) Should the walls rest on the base or should it be attached to the side of the base.
8) How to make the internal structures (inner curved wall near purple fans, how to attach all fans).

If you have seen my initial posts, you will know that I am towards the end of the design phase. I am currently posting about my earlier design ideas so you can get a view of what I started with and what I actually ended up making.

Next up is just another drawing to make the picture in the previous post clearer.

It indicates where the fans and the air vent holes are.

Big quiet fans in the back near the air intake holes (purple area)... and small powerful fans in the middle where the noise is less likely to travel outside the structure.

Big fans will be quieter than smaller fans running at the same RPM (revolutions per minute).

I then thought about how to insulate/soundproof the exit hole on the small box which is meant to be a sound absorption unit before the hot air came out the pipe.

I thought about:
1) Size of the hole
2) Thickness of materials
3) Type of materials

https://image.nostr.build/a9a780080fbe58eb44a097e5799068998461f415dfe2b499c6a5e3cc0d5665e6.png

#mining #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #insulation #soundproofing #airflow #holesss


I then thought about a slight update to the back box which has the cold air coming in.

It's a very simple design change which has more of an S shape. This makes it easier for the air to travel through the box. Air goes in through the top and bends along the curves and goes out the bottom.
The exit hole has also been widened all the way out too (bottom of the box).

Building this would be slightly more complicated because of the inner curvature (is curvature a real word??).

The next design builds on the previous design. However, the key changes were:

1) The box at the back with the cold air coming in now had fans towards the back instead of the top of the box.
2) Added in some more material inside the box so the air could flow in easier (almost like an S shape).
3) New box addition at the front where the hot air comes out. This is meant to be a sound absorption unit before the air comes out of the long pipe.

 https://image.nostr.build/e094d675a87b9a00a5961957ec75c05dbc1f9b7eb8fb80e17df1d3258a5c489f.png

#mining #btc #bitcoin #woodworking #fans #heating #soundproofing


Building on the first design, I thought about changing the box at the back with the two shelf's and adding another shelf. This is so to increase the soundproofing of the box. Every time sound hits off an acoustically designed surface, it will dissipate/be absorbed and you won't have to hear that loud buzzing sound from the #miner.

https://image.nostr.build/57454de89943ae39ddc558e3c5f64cf9b9788ee006f0be0a6bcac6b3299c7407.png


DCA that bitty


not sure about that tbh


If you saw an earlier post you will know that I am currently towards to end of the design phase and should begin building soon 😀.

Before I post pictures of my final design, I wanted to showcase all of my initial design ideas.

Below is my very first design idea for this orange P.O.W thing!

https://image.nostr.build/c06a5897892771cc1686c60f45aea6d96422437eff6f71e624d5e8eafb805cc1.png

I saw a bunch of design ideas on YouTube to get some inspiration. For example, I saw how this guy was dragging around his box to different rooms. Timestamp 5:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_PNiqIOjVA

So I thought you could add some wheels to make it easier and then reduce the noise further from the intake fans by adding another box to the back.

The box at the back has two additional large (quiet) fans at the top to help with airflow/pressure. That air travels down and around two shelves as indicated by the green lines showing the air flow direction. That air goes into the main box with the miner and meets two additional fans (40-50 decibels). The air goes out through the miner and out through the hot air vent. Like in the video the idea was to made a really long pipe so you could choose which area that you wanted to heat up. The additional fans increase the air pressure and let the air travel further along the pipe.

#Bitcoin #Mining is really simple, anyone can do it, you just need to follow a few simple steps and you will be hashing in no time!

1) Get a miner (most tend to try out those old school rigs like the S9 antminers).
2) Plug the power cord into the miner and switch on the power.
3) Wait 3 minutes.
4) Hold the reset button down for 10 seconds until the light flashes.
5) Wait 3 minutes.
6) Plug the ethernet cable into the miner and your internet router.
7) Use your PC or Mobile Phone and login to your router (should be instructions on your specific router on how to do this).
8) There will be a list of IP addresses that identify what is connected to your router, one of them will be for your miner.
9) If you don't know which one it is, just try them all until you find the right one. You can do this by typing in those IP addresses one by one into your web browser at the top of the page. Eventually you'll hit the right one and a greyish screen will load and it will request a username and password. Type in 'root' for each one and hit enter.
10) Now you need to choose which mining pool you want to join and contribute your hashing power to. I think Braiins Pool is the only one that lets you cash out in sats which is less than a penny.
11) Once you have signed up to a pool of your choice, they will give you a few details which can be copy and pasted into your #antminer page which you recently logged into.
12) Once you entered in those details, hit save and you should be #hashing within 10 minutes


Before I start posting about the various design ideas, I wanted to chat a little bit more about #Bitcoin #Mining.

I have been learning about it recently and bought myself a miner to see what happens to a #pleb when they begin mining for the first time.

FAQs
In most cases -
Yes it is fucking loud! 🙉
and
No you will not make any profit! 😢

If you do want to fuck around with a miner, buy something relatively cheap. Even if you buy the latest miner, you probably still won't make money so it's really just about learning 🤓.

Here in the UK, our #electricity prices are absolutely fucked. If you have near free electricity then you might make some money from mining.

Don't waste your #money!

My miner was initially a #YOLO purchase because I just wanted to see it running, but then I had some ideas and thought I could make something interesting with it which is why I made this orangepowthing account. (trying to make a dumb decision into a good one 😀)

I would have said Nostr ain't that great last year. But with all the BS bans coming left right and centre, we are lucky nostr exists. ((My twitter account got banned 🤢🤢🤢))


I thought about the key project stages and there is lots to do!😵💫

1) Learn about #BTC #mining / get a miner 🤓
2) Build / #design (sizing / finish)
3) Source materials / equipment
4) Cut exterior #wood pieces
5) Cut interior wood pieces and items
6) Test exterior finish (practise run which uses #fire)
7) #Sanding / #finishing of exterior housing
8) Build insulated hot air vents
9) Outer vent holes finished
10) Electronics added in
11) Testing and completion!🤩

I am currently near the end of stage 2 which is the #design phase of what I want to build.

I think this will take me until the end of this year to finish in my free time. 😮


yo, thanks!

Only started recently and it will take me till the end of this year to finish it off in my free time, so don't hold your breath!

If they don't unban my account, then it proves that they are just hypocrites talking about the #brazil situation.

This is why I made a #nostr account!

Yo nostr plebs,

Going to share a little bit more about this orange project so pay attention!

The orange proof of work thing I'm making involves some #bitcoin #mining, #woodworking, #design work, #soundproofing, #heatproofing and some #flames.

I am a #noob in nearly all aspects so feel free to have a giggle or make some suggestions that could help!

I will be sharing the resources that I am using to learn the ropes (youtube / weblinks) which you can use if you are also interested.

Thanks 🫂


#Coracle and #Nostrudel seem to be the best web browsers for me in terms of things being speedy and loading properly.


Thanks. Do I need much storage space on my SSD to be able to accept payments (lightning zaps from nostr)?

I've just added a walletofsatoshi address to my account as a temporary measure.


thanks it worked, sending back some extra sats!


Can someone zap me 1 sat, just want to test if my lightning address works now!

I really like my alby lightning address but it is a bit too long/complicated for me to get it setup properly. Going to default to using a WoS address instead since it is much easier for me.

I am looking into running the alby hub on my desktop PC, what are the minimum specifications that my PC needs to run this on a linux OS? Thank you.


It looks like I need to finish the setup and add a wallet. oops!


That is strange!

I tried to create an invoice on my alby account and I got the following error message...

400 Bad Request: Invoice limit exceeded. Please lower the amount or connect your own lightning node. (see getalby.com/usage)

I only wanted to send a few hundred sats to test it.


I like my alby lightning address nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm ,
it has the words #appreciative and #gratitude in it,
thank youu :)
