Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

We then shift gears to focus on Bitcoin and Bob's journey from theoretical physics to Bitcoin mining. Bob explains the concept of Braidpool, a decentralized mining pool designed to reduce variance and improve the efficiency of Bitcoin mining. He discusses the technical aspects of Braidpool, including its use of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and the Frost algorithm. Bob also addresses the challenges of decentralized mining, such as the need for faster block times and the importance of reducing latency. He explains how Braidpool aims to solve these issues by allowing miners to create their own block templates and select transactions, thereby decentralizing the process and reducing the risk of censorship. Throughout the episode, we explore the potential impact of covenants and other technical innovations on Braidpool's design and functionality. Bob provides insights into the future of Bitcoin mining, the role of professional risk takers in managing variance, and the importance of decentralized exchanges. We wrap up the episode with a discussion on the state of the Bitcoin network, including current block height, difficulty adjustments, and hash rate trends. Bob also shares his thoughts on the future of decentralized mining and the potential for Braidpool to revolutionize the industry. Join us for this deep dive into the world of Bitcoin mining and decentralized technology, and learn how innovations like Braidpool are shaping the future of the industry.

This episode is hosted by @bitkite and @econoalchemist, with special guests @skot9000 and @boerst. The discussion kicks off with @boerst sharing his journey into Bitcoin mining, starting from his IT background and his first foray into mining during the 2013-2014 ASIC craze. He talks about his experiences with various mining hardware and his transition from the hardware side to understanding the monetary aspects of Bitcoin around 2020. @boerst also introduces his project, stratum.work, a website that visualizes mining pool data, making it easier to understand and analyze. He explains the technical details behind the site, including how it connects to mining pools and visualizes data in real-time. The conversation delves into the importance of decentralization in mining pools and the potential risks of centralization, such as reorg risks and censorship resistance. The hosts and guests discuss the current state of the Bitcoin network, including hash rate trends and the upcoming difficulty adjustment. They also touch on the implications of political support for Bitcoin mining in the U.S. and the potential impact on the industry. @boerst shares his thoughts on Stratum V2 and its potential to decentralize transaction selection in mining. The episode wraps up with a lively discussion about personal preferences, including favorite pizza toppings and foods they dislike. The hosts also mention an upcoming tactical day event with the Bitcoin veterans group, highlighting the strong community aspect of Bitcoin enthusiasts. Overall, this episode provides a deep dive into the technical and community aspects of Bitcoin mining, with valuable insights from experienced miners and developers.

How are you so badass? https://twitter.com/skot9000/status/1770307311816286523 From Tyler Stevens: What does Zack think about the future of mining for heat to decentralize hash rate? Repurposing and modifying industrial hardware is awesome. Plebs are on the forefront here - But how does this scale to a grandmother who just wants cheaper utility bills? Open source firmware seems like a must? Target output temperatures? Open source ASICS? Chips and boards designed for higher operating temperatures…. Curious about his thoughts on fully integrated systems. Off the shelf products to help decentralized hash scale. What steps and development needs to happen, and in what order? https://twitter.com/tylerkstevens/status/1770292573195694180 From likewhoa: Are there voltage requirements to run at this setup? i.e would there have to be some sort of underclocking involved and is it possible to overclock as well? https://twitter.com/likewh1a/status/1770290048333697279 From Ben: Can it be hacked to run on DC power? (I.e. from a Powerwall battery or solar?) https://twitter.com/Lewified/status/1770293247899783485 From James: The concern I would have is the increased current draw as a result of dropping voltage. Unless you are going to severely underclock the boards, current (amps) will double since you are halving the voltage. This means a larger wire gauge is required. At 240V you can use #12 wire. https://twitter.com/Scygone/status/1770292434473218139 Home Miner of the Week: @Pmaxsd with a beautiful casing protecting 7.2TH of #Flex4Axe mining: https://twitter.com/Pmaxsd/status/1769778093017673903 Rod @bitkite on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bitkite Econoalchemist on Twitter: https://twitter.com/econoalchemist Rod @bitkite on nostr: npub1atn7mlwt08erz4ap47gef92xfey65a4z9ed9vec53u5kc9v94pusl6h4x3 Econoalchemist on nostr: npub10m6lrv2kaf08a8um0plhj5dj6yqlw7qxzeag6393z352zrs0e5nsr2tff3 Bitcoin Park on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bitcoinpark_ POD256 on Twitter: https://twitter.com/pod256…

No Holds Barred w/ Special Guest: pennyether - Bitcoin Mining Co. Analyst pennyether on Twitter: https://twitter.com/penny_ether Smoking Hopium - bitcoin mining calculator: https://smokinghopium.io/ A few questions from anons: Do you think you’re cherry picking data? Does the lack of industry standards make direct comparisons tough, and to that point, can you speak to how companies get fairly compared when strategies vary so widely? Would you consider Marathon a good company? (the miner) It looks as though depreciation was included when calculating Riot’s hashcost, should they then turn their miners off if it’s profitable to mine but the 2-year depreciation schedule is eating into it? What are your thoughts on miners a little bit down on the market cap rankings? What would you do differently if you were in charge of a mining company? If you could design your ideal monthly operational update, what does an apples to apples comparison look like and what metrics are most descriptive of the public miner businesses? Questions from Twitter: https://twitter.com/econoalchemist/status/1765354527794807261 From Tyler Stevens: Going into this cycle, what is the most important thing for large public miners to be competitive. Has in changed? https://twitter.com/tylerkstevens/status/1765382891133964432 From Francis Brosnan: Does he expect the beta from publicly traded miners to outpace Bitcoin price rise as in previous cycles? If so, which miners, and why? https://twitter.com/francis_brosnan/status/1765372642318553274 From imgislost: Which public miner stonks do they believe in if they had 1 bitcoin to divest towards?
