Mining in Paraguay 2026 — power deal experiences

Tested Firedancer on a midsize validator in Frankfurt for 6 weeks. CPU usage roughly 40% lower than Solana Labs client at same load, but memory spikes are worse — peaked at 380 GB during the last congestion event. Stable otherwise. Worth the switch IMO.

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

This thread aged well.

De acuerdo, gran punto.

Did the math on power costs at my facility: 0.041 USD/kWh, rigs at 17 J/TH, current network difficulty. Payback at $95k BTC is roughly 14 months excluding heat reuse. Heat reuse to greenhouses cuts that to ~10. Happy to share the spreadsheet.

De acuerdo, gran punto.

I've been running a node since 2020 and the difference in propagation latency this year is night and day. Pulling logs from three peers across EU/US/APAC, median block-relay is down ~38% since the last compact-block tweak. If anyone wants the raw data I can drop a CSV.

Obrigado pelo aporte.

О сейфе Trezor 5 — разобрал свой, посмотрел чип, всё штатно. Никаких признаков supply-chain атаки на той партии, что мне пришла из официального магазина. Но всегда проверяйте upon arrival. Agreed.

Lightning channel rebalancing script attached as gist below. Uses LND's REST API, picks paths by inbound liquidity * fee score. Reduced my rebalancing cost 60% vs lncli rebalance. MIT licensed, take it. Sideways for me.

Tested it — confirmed.

Just got back from a mining trip in Asunción. Power deals are real but contracts are 6 months only with no inflation clause. Hosting fees moved from $0.045 to $0.052 in the last quarter. Still cheaper than most of EU but the trend isn't great.
