(2024-06-10) Wind of change (recent news)
-----------------------------------------
OK, I've got nothing in particular to talk about today (JJY writeup still
pending, I know) but the past week has been tough and this one is going to
be even more difficult for me. Besides work, there are essentially two
things I'm focused on right now: energy independence and migration to Kaspa.
The latter shouldn't be a surprise as Kaspa is now in a very good state:
it's PoW but with tokens coming (KRC20), it's very fast and fully
decentralized. Even at a relatively small loss, I chose to abandon Mina and
everything else (except, of course, Monero) in favor of it. And I surely
don't regret it as of now. When it comes to Kaspa, I'm more of a stacker
than anyone else in my previous classification.
As for the former, the very first stage of my plan is complete and a power
inverter with a 6 kWh backup battery has been installed. Think "Powerwall
for the poor". The next stages are going to be a 800W wind turbine
(hopefully done within this week) and a solar panel array (hopefully done
within this month). I'm also going to run a small Kaspa miner ASIC (IceRiver
KS0 Pro, only has ~100W consumption) purely on the energy collected from the
wind turbine. By the way, it's not about ROI, it's about getting some
experience with ASIC mining and slow but sure accumulation of the currency
that I'm counting upon in the future. Besides, we shouldn't forget about
e.g. Sedra and Bugna that can be mined using the same KHeavyHash algorithm
but are located at much earlier stages of the curve.
All this, however, is a part of a bigger plan that's going to be revealed
when the time comes. Right now, it's more about maintaining peace of mind
than anything else.
