I've been testing the pool with some home miners over the past month to write a review for the website and wanted to share my initial thoughts:

  • No Registration, No KYC: In an industry where KYC is becoming the norm, this is incredibly liberating. I started mining in just 5 minutes. I bookmarked my dashboard, and that's it—I have everything under control.
    Non-Custodial: Unlike FPPS pools, which act as custodians and hold miners' funds by approximating reward distributions, the TIDES rewards system lets you receive coins directly from the Coinbase, ensuring the full and exact pro rata portion of your hashrate contributions. Currently, the minimum payout is around 1 million sats. They also recently integrated Lightning for even lower payments.

I'm extremely happy with this project and believe it's crucial for the industry. It's definitely one of the most important ones I've encountered in the last years. You can really see the people behind it aren't newbies, but have a deep, OG Bitcoin understanding.

So I am sitting in my bed with a dozen pillows bored out of my mind watching fox5 new york.
why is that. I have had my deviated septum repaired for a second time.
First repair was done in 1973 over time that repair failed. So I got it done again.



I have been reading all the threads on lower power models for the home miner.

I myself did a thread on the loki chip and a s19 xp single board miner.
There is the cannan nano 3
there is the futurebit 2
sidehack has a newer high end usb setup
bitmax has a built it yourself setup.


I plan to compare all of them.
Pointing out the flaws and the downsides.

Also I will balance things like noise.
At the moment I have the tv on laying in the bed and I am running the nano 3 under the bed pulling 98.8 watts. 3.01 the led off.

and it is pretty much silent. you can run it and your wife won’t get pissed off.

frankly i do not think anyone will be better than the nano 3 for being quiet.

Hey there, nice thread. Just wanted to share my experience with the Canaan Avalon Nano 3. I recently picked one up out of curiosity and connected it to the OCEAN pool.

I'm quite impressed with this little home heater/miner. It's surprisingly quiet even at max power and generates a good amount of heat. Plus, the small display even shows the time, adding to its functionality. I'll hold off on diving into more details until we finish our testing in a few weeks. Once that's done, we'll publish a full review on our website. If you want to check the real-time stats, you can have a look at the link of the miner on the OCEAN pool: https://ocean.xyz/stats/bc1qq44kn4rg0q44zg7xrd8ehg9gjvxx5nqrh89t7r. Looking to buy more for sure. Cheers

In a high fee environment, choosing exchanges that integrate the Lightning Network is definitely a good idea. After months of testing, we've curated a list with the best ones. Find it here:

New review about Peach Bitcoin: a peer-to-peer (P2P) application designed for purchasing and selling Bitcoin. It serves as an excellent alternative to centralized exchanges. You can buy Bitcoin using whatever method other users supports. It also offers users the opportunity to engage in cash transactions at specific locations and during designated events, such as Bitcoin conferences. While one drawback may be the associated higher costs, many users find these additional expenses worthwhile as they prioritize privacy protection in their P2P transactions. To delve deeper into the features and functionalities of Peach, visit: Peach Bitcoin Review.

I see you have a very nice and detailed review for Aqua wallet, but I would suggest adding clear warning for users to check and store safely their seed words backup.
For cons you mentioned there, they are working on desktop app and hardware wallet integration, but meanwhile it's easy to move coins to Green or Jade hardware wallet.

Thank you for your remark. I also noticed that AQUA wallet doesn't prompt to backup the seed phrase. I will update the review soon!

One of the latest reviews on blockdyor is about IVPN. This service stands out as a compelling VPN option in the market. Unlike many others, it doesn't require the creation of an account, eliminating the need for providing personal information such as email addresses.
Notably, it offers the flexibility of paying in Bitcoin on-chain or via the Lightning Network, courtesy of its integration with BTC Pay Server.

Discover more about its features and offerings at https://blockdyor.com/ivpn-review/.

This review is unusually short compared with your other review. At bare minimum, people would expect you review about connection speed/latency (compared with no VPN and few competitor) and some of it's feature (e.g. whether the ad blocking actually works).

Nice catch. We made it shorter because of the low correlation with the other topics in the website and it was mainly focused on the integration with Bitcoin and altcoins for a fully private VPN service. The team at IVPN is great and often attends in Bitcoin conferences with a booth. I plan to update it shortly!

A guide on public key cryptography and how it works in cryptocurrencies: Public And Private Keys: What Are They And How Do They Work?

Please double check this article.

Quote from: https://blockdyor.com/public-private-keys/
This private key is stored on the blockchain, allowing anyone to verify your ownership by referencing your corresponding public key.

Private key isn't stored on the blockchain.

Quote from: https://blockdyor.com/public-private-keys/
1. Encryption: The transaction is encrypted using your public key, making it accessible only through the corresponding private key. This encryption ensures the confidentiality of the transaction data.

This part is wrong since there's no encryption involved when creating Bitcoin transaction. There's no confidentiality since the amount, sender address and receiver address are known.

ETFbitcoin, I sincerely appreciate your invaluable contributions to this forum. I've corrected the errors.

Not directly related, but in line with the recent success of the Nostrasia event in Tokyo, which showcased prominent Bitcoin figures like NVK and Jack Dorsey. I'd like to share my enthusiasm for a social protocol that has genuinely excited me, as well as the entire Bitcoin community: Nostr. You can find the review by visiting this link: Nostr.

I didn't attempt it, but it should function as expected. Will try next time I use it. This is because without using it, you have to pinpoint the precise sweet spot near the iPhone's camera for it to work; otherwise, it won't function correctly.

As for the wallet, if you're considering placing the card in the card holder, I believe it won't fit with the sleeve. This is because it's approximately 1cm wider than the card, and most card holders are designed to be quite snug, typically accommodating just the cards. Cards with covers or sleeves like this one are often challenging to fit.

In the case of Bisq, I need to double-check, but my computer was at 100% for a considerable period, and the synchronization process already completed. I'll need to attempt it again to be sure.
