MAKE SONGS LONGER

We've had some technical issues and have been short-staffed lately, but technical issues are sorted and the #BlockParty started early. I'm about to get on a plane, so Nostr's 1st Bitcoin Mining Party could join the mile-high club...

Should I YOLO into that plane wifi and watch the mempool? ✈️

I owe you guys a #BlockParty!

Let's shoot for November 8.

My #BlockParty #DataViz today, vibed with Shakespeare:

For

and all the other cheap dates I know, here's how cheap it is to try and win a block reward share rn in the #BlockParty: https://blossom.primal.net/8738a6bb4b285e6ae1f0e41f8e276d11dbfaca446e7c520d6f3b8b4da68b2111.png

Did y'all hear the Rapture is tomorrow? Can we hit a block in the #BlockParty first,

? 🤔

Yeah! Rigly / Upendo #BlockParty will start early if we hit 45 PH so LFG!

Next #BlockParty August 30, come on team

! I'm still dreaming of hitting a block for Tanzania + Bitcoin Education there. 💭

Plenty of time to upend the odds with the

of #Bitaxes and the

hashrate degens 🔥 https://blossom.primal.net/38a9e8d0638948a6c76155458c472de855e1176484d81eb968efd32c64a10954.png

13 hours and 20 minutes to go but who’s counting??? It’s #BlockParty Eve. LFG!

My Team for

needs a LOT more #BlockParty love for Saturday! 😭 HALP! 🇹🇿

https://upendo.rigly.io/

Here's something I vibe coded that's super easy to do. I used #ShakespeareDIY with Gemini Flash Playground, which I do sometimes just to test an idea since it's free.

I took my notes from our last block party and asked it to make a dashboard. My prompt was, "Can you please take this information and make it visual? It’s from our July 19, 2025 #BlockParty."

I thought Gemini was being slow, so I played with Claude for a minute to get some code, dumped that back into Shakespeare and then kept iterating.

https://hashrate-hustle-0okd.shakespeare.to/

She's kinda pretty now, and the URL makes me LOL 😂 Will #MKStack it next time.

Again, not a dev. Anyone can fart around and vibe code.

has open office hours Wednesday night on

so you can hang and learn more.

(Yes, I ask it to make things orange & purple for me. Or pink).

For those who want a deeper dive into our latest #BlockParty for

, here's how it shook out.

With 106 active workers hashin' away in the

and the return of direct hashrate buys on Upendo.rigly.io today, let's get this #BlockParty started for July 5! 🎉 💪 ⛏️

Stuff I say when talking with

😂

"We're the kids doing the science project AND the kids throwing spitballs in the back of class."

That's Bitcoin for you! 🤷‍♀️ 😄 We're making #Bitcoin mining social at

/

. Yes, even for us anti-social types. 😉

#BlockParty returning soon...

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqh4nl2ld8qq00kxzxlh5khzk7k82zmjf07k5pn7awska6u66qv7dqqs2a28a3efmhmsg90ds8v7v89y2m2qg5vtunn7ekswnn8s09jzsdvgemhy9p

There is a 6-month decline of use here on #Nostr. We can do better. I care about this thing more than I should. I feel like Nostr is a crappy boyfriend—and I'm making excuses for him, like, "He's got so much potential!" So I keep staying. 🙄

We will get through this dark time of spam & low use. Nostr is strong enough to survive, if only for the 15,745 of us using it each day. But my fella can do so much better...

I just jumped back into legacy media journalism. There is no NEED for us to use Nostr today. But we're always one step away from the next "black swan" that would make this indispensible. Right now? This is trash to the vast majority. Too clunky to explain, too technical, too nerdy, too much #Bitcoin, too many wackadoos...it's just "too much."

But for those of us here daily, building, creating, and putting in the reps, there's another story.

I find success here for

&

as evidenced by being able to create a group solo mine with 7 EH.

I SAID SEVEN EXAHASH.

We didn't build that on Twitter/X. Or LinkedIn. It was the rabid fans of Nostr who helped us create Nostr's 1st #Bitcoin Mining #BlockParty.

Oh, but that's just Bitcoiners, you may say.

Ok, what about yoga? I started hosting #yogastr on

in September. People enjoy #OtherStuff. Folks love connecting with community even more.

What about local meetups? What about our #v4v side events in Las Vegas at the nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqypvlhmnnd80hwy7mh75mhkcgjtrzaw5jjgexzhr07fu8mguyedms7ydwvc3 Conference last month? What about meeting Nostriches IRL at events like nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqgzxkyxxvz3qfl2t02hp5alxdgunzq023gs8qa4cp8zdh7dlypnwquxxvd7u?

I will maintain that something special is happning here and I won't give up. But I won't stick my head in the sand and act like there aren't issues for us to tackle. We all have to do our part to make this better. Many of you work so hard at this and you know who you are. 🫡

A little tutorial roundup for the next #BlockParty, if you have a solo miner, or even if you don't.

We have a

workaround for buying hashrate and sending it to our CKPool while we've taken down hashrate auctions and direct buys.

Here's how to hookup your rig to the pool, or buy hashrate on the main nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqs9avl6hmfcqrma3s3haa94c4h436skujtl44qvlht59hwhxksr8ngaflajl site (or elsewhere) to send to the pool.

#BlockParty #hashathon

The

crew whooped my ass on

hashrate auctions for the #BlockParty this weekend.

Still creepin' up on 16K TH 🔥

I'm seeing the numbers turn. Bids are climbing and competition is fierce. This is the first time I've won an auction this round and watched my share start to fall—which is good because it means more plebs are getting involved, driving up the hash, and getting in on shares of a JUICY possible block reward.

It's not a matter of 'if' but when we find a block 💪

Team

is mine. Team nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaksqgz04q9r6wr0rgs5kq5jrlrmk24sc9wdf6dgkrl5lrz8w0usucdnzysrs2ka is nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqpqtvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq7fgefr. And just because we're caught in friendly competition rn doesn't mean we aren't cookin' up some other wild thing.

QW got himself a nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpv0prpvgffk3fwluuwyeedf7sxp6mhny9uny6rl57969xu0qvy6vhuwgqp runnin' at the nostr:nprofile1qqsf8vkdd8epk35u7h9wzcggxgk2eygrqgg4qdk6zts5p0ucy2f85wcgs9mvg Citadel and a brotha is HASHIN' 🔥

We've got one auction going now on Rigly's

that shows a pleb picked my team! LFG

🔥

#hashathon #BlockParty 🎉 #mining ⛏️

10% of my share of the block reward would go to

should we hit a block on May 17.

ATM that would be ~$1500 for bitcoin education in Tanzania 🇹🇿

Of course, the share goes down the closer we get to the #BlockParty, the more people get involed by buying hashrate, the more miners we get involved (spare ASICS,

, Braiins, Apollos, etc).

I'm currently the 4th place miner on the leaderboard!

is at #8 with a % of his hash going to nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaksqgz04q9r6wr0rgs5kq5jrlrmk24sc9wdf6dgkrl5lrz8w0usucdnzysrs2ka 🔥

LFG! #Hashathon 🔥

Come shake up the #BlockParty auction spot price with me 😂 Clearly,

is busy. Now's your chance to try and get hashrate on the cheap!

https://upendo.rigly.io/register?referral=O2UVW6

100 sats?????? c'mon miners! Next

block party on 5/17 🔥

Starting the day with a lil #BlockParty smash buy!

https://upendo.rigly.io/

This is dope. Last #BlockParty, auction price was so much higher 1-2 days before. (Like, 35-50K sats).

Party is SATURDAY! LFG with new hashrate direct buys too—no need to win auctions if you don't wanna. You can just FOMO in with a direct buy here.

How much TH do you want? https://upendo.rigly.io/

When me n'

show up 🎉 (unless we hit a block) 😂

#BlockParty #Upendo

is losing auctions becuase he wants to have 420 TH/s ALL DAY on 420 🤣

I win again 🏆 💪 gaining on this mofo for our #BlockParty

Ok, he's almost caught up to me in BONUS hashrate, and I'm still the 4th place miner. I kinda want him to win because if we do find a block, this helps my case in orange pilling his wife. So we all win, if we win 😂

Here's my referral code if you wanna join in the

#Upendo #BlockParty. We've got a week to go yet... it's 6 hours of mining next Saturday, April 26.

Helping me annoy

Here I come with the proxy bids, bro. Can't let QW have double my hashrate... seriously. He's doing this to troll me. 🧌

He's 1st in line to win the 2025 Bitcoin Troll Awards now. It's a new thing I'm starting. 🏆 (Only award to white witch trolls like QW though, who help decentralize mining. I ignore dickheads).

Help me beat

Getting

Being outbid by

beating me now! 🫡

I am gaining on

#Upendo #BlockParty

It's Friday and I FINALLY won an #Upendo auction for the #BlockParty we're having on April 5 with

(usually it's been easier/quicker!)

It's gotten competitive, so I did a proxy bid. (OK, I did a few, because even doing a proxy bid is no gurantee of winning a hashrate auction).

That HasH guy has been whoopin' my ass all week. He was the hashrate leader in our last party, btw. See where the auction jumps from 4,600 sats to 10,900 and then I beat him with my 11,000 proxy bid? (That's only $9.20 today).

So, I'm in! I finally beat HasH! 🎉 I also know the closer we get to April 5, the crazier the bidding gets. So if I want my share in the Block Party, I see this as an simple way in.

is doing a 21% hashrate match.

I know some solo miners will contribute a little bit of hash, too. It's a collective effort, and I think we'll get there and hit a block someday... The most I've put in was around $48 (and we didn't hit a block, so that's like $48 in lotto tickets).

Funny thing is, I am not a gambler. But I do like doing my part in #Bitcoin mining without having equipment. I still want a

though 😉

I know you people are NOT gonna let me try and hit a block for 100 sats.

The #Upendo #BlockParty is back NEXT Saturday, Arpil 5. Hashrate auctions are your entry fee.

I've placed a couple bids at 100 sats. 100 sats for possibly (not probably) hitting a block?

Shoooooooot this can't be this easy. (It's not).

is doing a 21% hashrate match too, as he's the

auctioneer running the party 🎉
