It turns out - bitcoin miners can in fact be controlled like any other IOT home device. Open source firmware from @256FOUNDATION will unlock the flood gates to more performance, better energy/heat control, easier connections to other gadgets and more!

Earlier this year we donated BZM2 chips to @256Foundation, who distributed them to selected projects. It’s inspiring to see builders putting them to use. Giving developers access to tools is a key step in strengthening and decentralizing Bitcoin mining for the long run.🛠️
One of the developers to receive part of the @protomining Intel BZM2 donation. Give @Real_PizzAndy a follow and watch him build a 3D printer that uses Bitcoin ASICs to produce the needed heat for the print bed.

Today marks a real turning point for me. A package arrived that’s far more than hardware; it’s the foundation of a dream becoming reality. Thanks to an extremely generous donation from the @256FOUNDATION, I now have the ASIC chips that make my project economically viable. These

If you want to see significant progress in decentralized Bitcoin mining, look at P2Pool V2 and the work @jungly is doing. ✅ Actual non-custodial payouts ✅ Decentralized share accounting ✅ Miner has unilateral & complete control over templates
Decentralizing Bitcoin Mining with P2Pool V2 with Jungly | SLP690 @jungly joins me to discuss P2Pool V2 — a decentralized mining pool using a sharechain & atomic swaps for non-custodial payouts. (00:00) - Intro; Why is P2Pool V2 important? (02:31) - The evolution of P2Pool

For all those who have recently expressed interest in receiving BZM2 chips, we started accepting inquiries through our website contact form in January and four people expressed serious interest. The chips have been disbursed to them equally. There may be a second cycle soon.

@SGBarbour @skot9000 Centralised pooled mining is permissioned. Hydrapool will let us spawn new PPLNS pools at will. 👍 P2Poolv2 will let us be permissionless again. 👍
