It started with @slush!
Who said it?
Bitcoin Talk, November 2010. The first mining pool launches.
1. The purpose: join small CPU miners so blocks come more frequently.
2. The cost: trust a central party.
3. Only the scale has changed.

Bitcoin Miners are NOT solving complex math problems.
A 🧵 to make your smol brain bigger.
So WTF are they doing?
(RIP to the S9 boards that have fallen.)

Stratum V2 and the DATUM protocol are the future of decentralized bitcoin mining. Read more from @ElektronEnergy's latest paper below
In the age of AI powered technological threats, bitcoin mining poses a unique attack space. We've released a new white paper assessing pool threats to a healthy and decentralized Bitcoin network, but instead of starting from the code, we start from mining itself and assess the Will mining pool centralization kill bitcoin?

Wish I hadn't
If you have the self control, don’t listen to the plane audio.
The young pilot in terror calling to the tower.
The tower unable to do anything but offering what they can—to move everything else in the sky.
The muffled prayer of the second pilot accepting their fate.
It’s a disturbing, emotional moment in an industry known for dispassionate procedure and situational control.
Prayers to everyone lost and their families.

I didn’t know this! Cool quirk of bitcoin history.
A little Bitcoin history: the October 2008 copy of the whitepaper was 8 pages long.
The familiar 9-page version includes an added paragraph explaining how transaction fees could eventually fund mining entirely.
Happy bitcoin white paper day!

Nobody outside of construction or engineering uses the phrase ‘load bearing’.

decentralize mining
Is OCEAN on the right course to decentralize Bitcoin mining?
As OCEAN's new CMO, I sat down with ₿trust's Abubakar @ihate1999 to discuss our mission, miner sovereignty, and the future of decentralized mining.
