I want to say a little more on how much i appreciate the Noderunners…
Though I’ve never met any of the Noderunners in real life, I have spent a lot of time with them.
Many are members of the @meshtadel so there’s that connection.
Of course @Mrcrownnnnn and I have worked together on @ungovernablemf projects for years now. He is such an incredible person and like a brother to me.
The Sultan of Swing @LePlebRoyale and I have spent a lot of time just playing and listening to music together on @NoderunnersFM and he made many of the plebminer gifs I use 😁 (special shoutout to @mos_pueblo NoderunnersFM superstar DJ.)
@BdGBertdeGroot the hashrate heating tulip king 🌷 “Ik heb die bon gepakt…”
@einzie and @arbadacarbaYK are awesome
@Limburg3rt04 is a madman
@HeroVanKampen is my hero
And last but not least, Mr @onthebrinkie
Your generosity, work ethic, your creativity, and spirit are a beacon of light. I appreciate you immensely.
Major update from the HeatHarvest greenhouse: the Bitcoin mining heat powered greenhouse has achieved closed-loop, organically driven, biologically self-sustaining nutrient cycles.
Worm compost tea and castings supply nutrients for the purple sweet potatoes and plants. Plant biomass from sweet potato leaves and plant trimmings are redirected as feedstock for crawfish and compost worms. Crawfish water, enriched with dissolved nutrients and organic matter, is recirculated to fertilize the plants. Surplus compost worms are used as feed for the crawfish.
Nutrient flows are continuously recycled within the system using entirely organic biological inputs. Achieving this level of closed-loop biological self sufficiency in winter and in record time is a major win for the project. Growing conditions are strong as we’re entering the harsher part of winter with added exciting momentum.
Our Christmas present to you all, a Meshtadel episode of the @UGMFPodcast
I’d like to hear from all of you on what you’d like to get out of the Meshtadel this next year
As you’ll hear in the show, I will be pouring more of my time and money into the Meshconomy

Major Update: Bitcoin Mining Heat-Capture Season 2025
HeatHarvest Greenhouse / Proof-of-Growth: Purple Sweet Potatoes & Crawfish, Vlog 2: Claws & Roots , Move-In, Tune-Up, and Flip to Spring. This Vlog features several big upgrades:
Insulated, layered floor: Rubberized PVC, coconut coir, and cement "layered", insulated concrete slab so our precious Bitcoin heat isn’t wicked into the earth. Detailed post on the layered insulated concrete will be added to this thread soon.
Crawfish move-in: Two breeding tanks plus the orange stock tub now hold backup breeders and bulk crawfish stock. We also built and assembled a custom vertical hydroponics growing system that ties directly into the stock tub.
Biological synergy: Crawfish produce ammonia that microbes convert to nitrite and then nitrate for the plants. As plants take up these nutrients, they scrub the water, creating a cleaner, healthier environment for the crawfish and steady feed for the plants.
Temporary automated heating: A modified S19j Pro running a two-hashboard, 120 V modded configuration is keeping the HeatHarvest greenhouse warm, even after a recent drop to 20 F. A simple thermostat brings the #Bitcoin miner online with target of 80 F; so far, temperatures have held between 60–77 F. With winter setting in, the rig hasn’t turned off, so we’re steadily mining Bitcoin and producing HEAT.
Purple sweet potatoes moved in: Twelve 10-gallon grow bags filled with organic soil and our cloned purple sweet potatoes grown from seed potatoes over the spring/summer are now in place, for roughly 960 pounds of total grow soil medium in the greenhouse.
Flip to “spring”: We switched the greenhouse to 24-hour light, sun by day, and an auto-switch runs the grow lights from dusk till dawn. This extended photoperiod, drives aggressive vegetative growth and pushes the HeatHarvest greenhouse into “spring.”
Status:
So far, so good. It took two days to dial in all systems. The real challenge was balancing the closed, circular system between the crawfish stock tank and the vertical hydroponics system. We officially switched to spring conditions three days ago, and we’re already seeing spinach seedlings showing strong growth.
What’s next for Vlog 3
Command Console: Time to give the console some attention and make the HeatHarvest greenhouse as smart and automated as possible. This will house the automation “brain” and our more permanent heating system. We’re waiting on a unique piece of Bitcoin-mining hardware for the final heating setup, it’s going to be very special. Stay tuned.
More spinach starts: Germinate and raise seedlings to 4 inches in a 50/50 coco coir + perlite blend. This keeps roots in a loose medium for easy transfer into the vertical hydroponics system, fed by nutrient-rich water from the crawfish stock tank.
Healthy crawfish: Keep parameters dialed so breeding ramps up and egg production begins.
Build the smart M.O.E.M. (Mining Operation Environmental Monitor), HeatHarvest Monitor (open source): Custom PCB + hardware + firmware (released free and open source on the HeatHarvest GitHub). It will monitor temperature, humidity, O₂, and CO₂, and send email/notification alerts on anomalies (e.g., sudden temperature drops). It will also log long-term data for this season and future HeatHarvest runs. Also feature a web app that allows us to monitor the HeatHarvest greenhouse 24/7 remotely.
Sponsorship stickers: We also need to add our permanent sponsorship stickers. The greenhouse humidity destroyed several sticker rounds, so we’ve ordered permanent vinyl replacements for the sponsor banner.
Current plants in the HeatHarvest greenhouse:
Purple sweet potatoes, spinach, mint, avocados, and Japanese honeysuckle with more to come as space allows.
Countless micro-projects are underway before Vlog 3. Stay tuned, I’ll keep this thread updated until the next Vlog is live. Would like to welcome our latest Sponsor Ungovernable Misfits. Interested in sponsoring? There’s still time DM or email us.
