[MARA Foundation @MARAFoundation_]

Proud to share that @MARA has mined its first Stratum V2 block 💪💪

SV2 improves mining efficiency, reduces bandwidth usage, and strengthens security through encrypted, authenticated connections. It also enables miners to select their own transactions rather than relying on pools, strengthening Bitcoin’s decentralization and censorship resistance.

This was a major lift for the @MARA mining operations team. Congratulations to everyone involved with this milestone and for leading the way in a major industry transition!

Additional thanks to @spiral_xyz @pavlenex and everyone involved in the Stratum V2 Working Group for their support 🙏

I thought Bitcoin mining would become the hurdle rate that repriced all industrial capacity. It's happening, but AI is setting the bar.

I think that feasibility is still pretty low on these potential sites for the most part, but there is still some low hanging fruit.

[MTS @MTSlive]

SITUATION DETECTED: With cannabis prices crashing to historic lows, marijuana growers with massive industrial properties outfitted with heavy power, fiber, water, and HVAC are attempting to pivot into AI data centers, per Forbes.

Donate hash compute to an organization supporting veterans and teaching Bitcoin and freedom tech.

Hermes is punching way out of it’s weight class. The best part from my perspective is that they are not attempting to create a Moat.

They are grinding so that no moat can exist. They are not gatekeeping. They are ensuring that this technology stays accessible.

Humanity needs more of this.

Can’t wait for mobile.

[Machina @EXM7777]

i've spent over 1,000 hours building with AI agents... and i've tried them ALL

from OpenClaw to Grok Bot, ChatGPT Dots and Open Bot... every single time, i end up back on Hermes

here's why:

- it hasn't stopped evolving since i first tried it in march, it keeps absorbing the best features from its competitors
- the team behind it is locked in, new models, connectors and plugins land extremely fast
- it's one of the best harnesses you can use, sometimes more efficient than Codex or Claude Code for me
- you can run any model, bring your own subscriptions, or run it locally and it picks the best model for your machine
- it just works... and when it breaks, one 'hermes doctor' fixes it

i get why people are impressed by Grok Bot's UI, but it takes 5 minutes to make the Hermes desktop app look exactly how you want

hide the tool calls, the extra menus, everything you don't need, and you end up with a setup that's yours forever

the mobile app is in beta right now, i should get access in a few hours, and what i've seen so far is legit

once it goes public, a lot of people will realize no other personal AI agent can compete

so the time you put into your Hermes setup today pays off hard in the coming months

because when Grok Bot runs on a nerfed model, when Muse gets locked to the US, or when your usage limits everywhere else get ridiculous...

Hermes will still be standing and delivering, like it has for me for the past 6 months

Lot's of things happening adjacent to the @BitcoinVeterans Summit this coming week at @bitcoinpark_

workout, prayer, dinner, bitdevs 👇

[ODELL @ODELLXYZ]

great cause to support 🦅🇺🇸

[m0ntan1 @RickThomasII]

A cure for loneliness.

[Hermes Release Watch @HermesWatcher]

Okay, Hermes making phone calls is unreal.

Hermes doesn't have to wait for you to check in anymore. It can just call you.

A new plugin in the Hermes catalog, hermes-whatsapp-voice, gives Hermes live voice calls over regular WhatsApp. No business account needed.

What that looks like:

▸ It rings you when something actually needs you, like an urgent reminder or a scheduled morning check-in
▸ You can call it back and have it handle things mid-call
▸ When you hang up, a recap lands in your WhatsApp chat
▸ It can only ring your number. Nobody else's

Notifications pile up and get swiped away. A ringing phone gets answered.

It's community-built and runs on an unofficial WhatsApp connection, so set it up on a spare number.

[m0ntan1 @RickThomasII]

Get ready for the hot takes and lamentations. It’s been a Long week and people are just getting their coffee and opinion fed to them.
