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 |

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. We plan to update it shortly!

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. https://blockdyor.com/aqua-wallet-review/Thank you for your remark. I also noticed that AQUA wallet doesn't prompt to backup the seed phrase. Will update the review soon!
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.

Please double check this article. 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. 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.

Keep in mind that ALL the links that I can find on this site from the reviews that link out to other sites are referral links.
AND if you signed up they have whatever other tracking information you gave them.
Not a big deal in the overall scheme of things, but for the people who are really concerned with their privacy and not being tracked just consider this a heads up.
@blockdyor you might want to mention that. If you did I didn't see it.

Hi and thanks for your message! Not all the links on this website are referral links. We've implemented a custom 'vanity link' system, where all external links feature the '/go/' prefix. This allows us to update them in case any become unavailable. The website may generate revenue from certain referral/affiliate links, and users may receive bonuses or discounts when using these links. All the partners have been selected and tested carefully, as you can see from the screenshot/photos on the website. I'm personally working on displaying an 'affiliate' disclaimer without disrupting your navigation. For now, it has been added to the Privacy Policy, and I think in the future it will appear in the website footer. Thanks for bringing this up! As mentioned in our Privacy Policy, we do not track users without their consent. You even have the option to opt out of the only tracking we use, which is for 'Analytics.' The only "subscription" (it's free) available on the website is related to email (to receive a newsletter every time a new post is published), and our Privacy Policy details how we handle this information – rest assured, we do not sell it in any way. Also, you won't be spammed from blockdyor as the newsletter is usually once a week.
your website is quite good, starting from the design and navigation, everything is well organized and i like it. however, there are things that you could consider improving a little;
- i found that at one time your website could take too long to load, it seems you need to optimize your server.
- the sign in section seems problematic, because when we have signed up and confirmed the email, we will be redirected to the website but when we click on the "account" section it will ask to sign in again and that takes a long time.
- using number navigation looks better on your website.
- will members be able to post on your website in the future?
- adding comment and reaction section is quite good for increasing interaction.
Thank you for your comment! - Regarding website speed, I'm not currently seeing this issue. In fact, the website loads quite quickly (Gtmetrix result: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/blockdyor.com/ubfS8RCJ/). Could you please try again? - You're absolutely right about the account login issue, which is due to an overly aggressive cache. We will address this problem in the future. Anyway the user account dashboard is quite simple, as you can just unsubscribe/subscribe to the newsletter. You can unsubscribe also from the newsletter your receive in your inbox. - While the number navigation is nice, it does have a somewhat dated feel. The 'infinite scroll' gives a more modern feel to the website I think. - Currently, posting is limited to the members of the blockdyor team. However, we're exploring the possibility of accepting guest posts. Feel free to send us an email if you're interested. - As for enabling comments, it's not in our immediate plans. Comment sections typically require moderation, and our resources are currently focused on creating high-quality content. Perhaps in the future, we'll revisit this. |

I actually like your site and the content that you provide, because the articles are detailed and it contains some good information. Most of the other sites are just a re-hash of previous articles that are posted from other people's blogs or some AI generated content. I like it when Bitcoin Blogs provide services that can be paid for with Bitcoin (like the one on the VPN) ... because I think sites like this should explore the opportunities for people to actually use their Bitcoin and not just to hoard it.  Job well done! Thank you! The primary purpose of the website is to discuss Bitcoin industry with its many products and services and occasionally touch upon other altcoins. Often, when we did cover other altcoins on the website, it was with a critical perspective. |

An update with the most interesting articles published recently about Bitcoin on blockdyor: Vexl Review: An Innovative P2P Bitcoin Trading App https://blockdyor.com/vexl-review/It's first time i heard about this P2P service. It's not even mentioned https://kycnot.me/ which list so many no/optional-KYC exchange. I'm also pleased with quality and detail of your review. Although for Vexl itself, i have mixed feeling since it currently only available on Android/iOS and friend/group feature doesn't seem to be useful unless those around you already use cryptocurrency. Thank you. This represents both a limitation and a significant advantage of Vexl. Its primary strength lies in facilitating Bitcoin trades within your circles (friends and friends of friends). I tried the app @ BTC Prague last June and they gave me their number, which has connected me with approximately 500 individuals actively trading on the platform. If you'd like, you can reach out to me via email (you'll find it in the article), and I can provide you with my contact information. This way, you'll also gain access to a network of 500 peers for conducting transactions within Vexl. Additionally, I believe you can connect with the Vexl team and they may be able to add you to the platform as well. |

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the articles and topics covered on this website. I appreciate when simplicity and a very modern design are combined, which results in very simple navigation and excellent visibility. I will definitely save this site to my favorites and come back to read a few more articles 
@blockdyor, posting multiple posts in a row is against the rules of the forum, so it would be good if you use the option to reply to multiple posts in one post if possible  Thank you very much, you can also subscribe to the newsletter (for free)! I edited my previous post to include just one link. |
