Heat Things + Earn #Bitcoin. By harnessing #Heat generated during the BTC mining process, we transform energy consumption into sustainable heating solutions.
Quite problematic really.
🚨 Start mining at home , anon.
One of my big goals this year was to start mining at home and inspire others to do the same!
(And also sell a bunch of miners to support my biz, naturally!)
We can move the needle!!
@palmbtcX STRC can’t really be “up” or down”..
It’s just relative to your cost basis .. but won’t fluctuate that much due to what it is .
Are you talking about MSTR ?
ICE FROM HEAT!
Imagine a refrigerator that needs no electricity, no compressor, no moving parts just a couple of hefty metal spheres, a bit of fire, and some clever chemistry. In an era when rural America was still lit by kerosene lamps and powered by muscle and wood stoves, the Crosley IcyBall arrived like a gadget from a sci-fi pulp magazine. It was “Ice from Heat,” and it worked so elegantly that it feels almost impossible to believe even today.
The device looked like something a mad inventor would weld together in a garage: two large metal spheres (a “hot ball” and a “cold ball”) connected by a sturdy pipe, often with a handle for lugging it around. Inside: a sealed mixture of ammonia and water. No motors. No fans. Just pure thermodynamics in action.

My personal view of the current situation:
Here in the plot, all points that retrospectively fall BELOW the Power Law Bottom I use - the lowest 5% quantile - are marked in pink.
As we can see, this happens regularly either at the end of the red suppression phase, when prices have come down from the top and are still falling relative to the PL Bottom until they finally reach it again, or during the blue relaxation phase, when prices meander along the PL (same slope) for months or even years.
Accordingly, such days may occur more frequently over the next two years.
People once lived above their cows because they understood something modern people forgot:
heat rises.
A barn full of living animals could help keep a family from freezing through winter.
Today we call cows a climate problem.
Back then, they were central heating, food security, fertilizer and survival.
@DSBatten I’m not sure , was just spreading the word and pumping up my old buddy and heat punk OG.. who has been “moving on to other things” like this cool venture . Just another feather in the cap of stranded energy, true atmosphere protection and BTC !🤝🤝🤝
Rube-Goldberg Workflow
The overall goal is to suck methane from an old coal mine via a Coal Bed Methane gob well (the mine operated from ~1917-1940), dry and regulate down to a pressure that is suitable to run generators for ₿itcoin mining.
The compressor starts up with gas from a conventional well.
Once the compressor warms up, its fuel source is switched over to the methane it extracts from the coal mine. That gas is then sent out to be dried and regulated.
It first hits a filter separator, then an aftercooler, a drip, a desiccant tower, before the back pressure regulator which keeps that side at 200 psi. This enables the gas to be better dried and cooled.
On the other side of the BPR there is another drip, the gas is stepped down to 65 psi where it passes a flaring unit (never use it, but it can be if needed). The gas then travels to a valve bank where a pilot motor valve sends gas out to a trunk line that feeds the generators, delivering a consistent 12 psi by opening and closing its valve based on demand.
Any unused gas it pushed back to the suction side of the compressor.
The gas that travels to the trunk line for the gens, passes through a meter, past a buffer tank to deliver a smooth flow of gas. And is regulated down via a reg at each generator unit.
That’s basically it, that the Rube Goldberg machine I’ve created. It can be stressful as there are so many points of failure, but I love it and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
