Is Bitcoin Mining Worth It in 2026? Home vs. Hosted, Honestly

Best Bitcoin Mining Hosting Companies (2026): Who to Trust With Your Miner

BIP-110 Hit Its Mandatory-Signaling Height. Bitcoin's Hashrate Did Not Follow.
BIP-110's mandatory-signaling period began at block 961,632. Bitcoin's dominant chain did not follow, and Luke Dashjr is now discussing a new proof-of-work algorithm.

SEC to hold open meeting Friday at 10 a.m. ET to consider proposing new rules for a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets.

Trump Media & Technology discloses 14,139 BTC treasury worth ~$890 million in SEC filing as of July 31, 2026.

Luke Dashjr is stepping away from OCEAN as Chairman and CTO to focus on Bitcoin core development and open-source projects.
"I started crying. I looked over at my partner and I said, 'They made it.'" @JesslovesMJK on reading the paper showing HIV-like sequences in the spike protein. Days later, it was pulled from the preprint server without explanation.

Senator Rand Paul confirms after Fort Knox visit: "Yes, the gold is there all (approximately) 147 million ounces. It is impressive."

34,000 text messages and 522 voicemails from Fauci's government phone are being released. The first batch is damning. In a group chat with CDC Director Walensky and Surgeon General Murthy, Fauci raised the concern that the cytokine storm and fever after the second dose "could theoretically be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester." Walensky agreed: "Definitely a good point." Murthy called it "really helpful." Nine days later, Fauci went on camera and said there were "no red flags" for pregnant women. This despite the fact that pregnant women were excluded from the vaccine trials entirely, a problem flagged in his own inbox months earlier by the National Academies. Then Drew Weissman, co-inventor of the mRNA platform, emailed Fauci directly saying his team had concerns about LNPs reaching the placenta and fetus and were "talking to all of the appropriate people." Fauci forwarded it internally. The public messaging never changed. They knew. They discussed it in writing. They said the opposite out loud.
President Trump signs executive order scaling back the childhood vaccine schedule to 11 core vaccines. “Effective immediately, my administration is recognizing gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases.” x.com/MAHA_Action/st…
RFK Jr: "We will preserve access to vaccines, strengthen safety monitoring, expand research, give doctors and parents better information, and restore informed consent and parental choice to their rightful place in American medicine."
Bitcoin Devs just built a visual tool that breaks down how entropy works for generating bitcoin private keys. It walks you through true random number generators, pseudo-random number generators, dice rolling, and coin flipping. If you've ever wondered how randomness actually secures your bitcoin, this is worth a look. x.com/Bitcoin_Devs/s…
BTCPay Server is donating 0.21 BTC to @craigraw and 0.21 BTC to the Bitcoin Red Team for responsibly disclosing a critical vulnerability. They're also putting up a bounty for recovering the stolen funds, 10% of whatever is recovered, up to 3 BTC max. If you have info that could help recover the funds, contact security@btcpayserver.org.
"Every time the CIA's involved in something, things get very confused. Their role is to conflate and confuse and cause chaos." @JesslovesMJK on Ian Lipkin, the CIA-linked author the other Proximal Origin writers never wanted on the paper.

The Bitcoin Policy Institute just published an open letter asking AI labs to give open-source bitcoin and digital asset defenders access to their strongest cybersecurity models. The problem: "Open-source defenders today occupy the least privileged position in the AI security landscape." Bitcoin secures over a trillion dollars in value, but the developers maintaining wallets, cryptographic libraries, and node software are getting blocked by guardrails when they try to use frontier AI for legitimate security work. The letter warns that "nation-state adversaries, criminal syndicates, and sophisticated hackers will not wait for permission to deploy AI against critical open-source infrastructure." Defenders are stuck using weaker open-weight alternatives while attackers face no such constraints. BPI is asking for early access to the best cyber models, compute budgets for real security reviews, and secure environments for sensitive code analysis. The coalition is massive: Coinbase, Block, Strategy, MARA, Blockstream, Chaincode, Brink, Ten31, Unchained, Trezor, Casa, Strike, River, OpenSats, and dozens more. "Frontier AI could become one of the most powerful defensive technologies ever developed, but only if defenders get fair access." btcpolicy.org/ailetter
