Dear #Bitcoin family,
The AON campaign for Proof of Work wrapped up successfully. Thank you ❤️
A few of you wrote in asking how to still get a copy, so I’ve opened a simple pre-order page here:
geyser.fund/project/proofofw…
I am grateful to have met y'all. Abrazos :)
Namaste,
Paco

Most people back up their seed phrase once and never check it.
A backup you’ve never tested is a guess. Words can be copied in the wrong order, a letter can be misread, a punched number can be off by one position, and you won’t find out until the day you need it.
Many hardware wallets have a built-in way to check your backup without moving any funds. Look in your device’s settings for a “check backup” or “recovery check” option, and go through it with your written or punched copy in hand.
If your wallet doesn’t have one, a safe test is to set up a fresh, empty wallet from your backup and confirm it shows the same first receive address as the original. Only do this on a device you trust, and never type your phrase into a website or app.
Do it once after you make the backup, and again whenever you move it.

@BitashaIndia is your friend for this!
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

Two solo miners found blocks on ckpool within seven hours of each other on Nov 7: blocks 974893 and 974930.
Each block pays the miner the full 3.125 BTC subsidy plus fees. No pool sharing, no payout threshold. Just the pool’s 2% fee.
What’s worth knowing is that solo wins keep happening: the lottery is long odds, but it isn’t closed.
If you want your own ticket, a Bitaxe Gamma 601 (about 1.2 TH/s, 17W) is ₹18,000. It won’t pay your bills. Most miners at that size will never find a block, but the running cost is close to nothing.

Tomorrow is Diwali. Wishing everyone a happy, safe and bright festival from all of us at Bitasha.
May the lights bring good luck, good health and secure keys. Thank you for being part of this community this year, from the first Koshh orders to the people we met at Bitmela.

Gifting a hardware wallet this Diwali? A few things make it a good gift instead of a stressful one.
1. Give it sealed. The person should open the box and set it up themselves, so nobody else has ever seen their keys.
2. Tell them to write down the recovery phrase the device shows, and check it against the screen. You shouldn’t know it, and neither should anyone else.
3. Pick one that matches the person. A simple, well-documented wallet for a beginner, an open-source one for someone who likes to verify things.
4. Pair it with a steel backup if you can, since paper is the weak point in most setups.
Not sure which to choose? DM us or WhatsApp +91 94452 99189 and we’ll help you pick.

Looking for a Diwali gift for the Bitcoiner who already has everything?
A Bitaxe runs on about 17W (Gamma 601), connects over Wi-Fi, and shows its live hashrate on its own screen. Plug it in, point it at a solo pool, and it’s mining.
It won’t pay anyone’s bills. Solo mining is a lottery with long odds, and most people never find a block. But it’s a real ticket that costs very little to keep running, and it’s a conversation starter for the whole family.
Gamma 601 ₹18,000 · Gamma 801 ₹22,500 · NerdQaxe++ ₹35,000

Dhanteras and Diwali are about protecting what you’ve built.
If you hold Bitcoin, the most useful thing you can do this week is back up your keys somewhere that survives fire, water and time. Paper doesn’t.
Koshh steel plate, ₹3,750. Koshh Tag, from ₹499. Both make a thoughtful gift for the Bitcoiner in your family.

Wishing you a safe and prosperous Diwali.
What a festival!
Truly, I haven’t been to such a colorful event in the #Bitcoin space ever. I have seen a few from Miami to Prague to Lugano. So here is something that I felt.
Kudos to these three humans who put their heart, soul, and their pocket on the line to make one of the most beautiful events this ecosystem has ever seen.
Getting good speakers is important, but making it not just about Bitcoin and adding real flavor to it is also important. And this one was one big-ass festival. It literally felt like a marriage of technology and tradition here in India.
There was a Bollywood actor @kapoorkkunal on day 1 and a comedian @aashishsolanki_ on day 2. It was a full house over 1000 attendees!!
There were games, food stalls, photo booths, colors, music, dance, and musicians. All of it in the same venue and on the same ticket. Utilizing the budget is smart, but maximizing the use of the budget like this is mashallah great work.
We had a bunch of students, corporate folks, and ideathon participants. It really felt like India is growing in the ecosystem.
Bitcoiners from around the world had flown in from Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, South Korea, Brazil, Thailand, and more. They even got their face and palms read by local pundits who said btc be $32,000,0000 per coin atleast 😅
Will this mela(festival) stay only in India or will they take it to different countries?
Because Bitcoin is merely the salt to the meat. (Words of Santosh) And the real beauty of these small and nice conferences is when they actually feel alive like this.
Red is the new orange.
Bitcoin is a tool.
Life is filled with abundance.
Bitcoin is all about scarcity.
Choose what you need, and make yourself a promise for 2027, that you will visit atleast one unconference/meetup in and around your home. And if u wanna travel outside your comfort zone then please come to India. Let your belly be full of flavors and eyes filled with colors.
The crew of @thebitmela were always kind even when folks enetered without tickets. Hosting such an event is not easy, and I am sure the next one will be even more GRANDE!!
I guess I will be back again next year, becuase it's always good to meet your friends , meet those humans who believed in you, when you had not even 1 follower. And now here in this mela we all are blossoming like a flower. Together.
I pray and hope and wish that every bitcoiner around the world inspires atleast 1 soul with their story.
Thank you team India
Thank you @BitashaIndia ( miners and hardware wallets)
Thank you @BhartiyaBitcoin (education in 13 languages)
Namaste & Blessings

Thinking of gifting Bitcoin this Diwali? Here’s how to do it without causing a problem later.
Don’t send it to an exchange account you set up for them. If they don’t know the login, the gift is stuck.
Let the person set up their own wallet, or sit with them while they do. A wallet you create for them means you’ve seen their keys.
Have them write down their own backup and check it against the wallet screen. You should never see it.
Start small. A gift they understand beats a large one they’re afraid to touch.
A good gift is one the person can actually keep safe.
First #bitcoin transaction on top of an Elephant everrrrrr

Bitmela, Jaipur: done. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, held the hardware, and asked us questions about backing up keys and mining at home.
Special thanks to @thebitmela for putting India’s Bitcoin community in one room.
If we spoke at the stall and you’re still deciding, DM us or WhatsApp +91 94452 99189. And if you missed it, everything we showed is at bitasha.com.
