That's exactly what Gio built. In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, we sit down with Gio, the creator of WallAxe: an open-source conversion kit that turns your Bitaxe into a discreet, wall-plugged Bitcoin miner. No cables. No clutter. No excuses. Just plug in and hash away. We go deep on the future of home Bitcoin mining, solo mining, mining decentralization, the OP_RETURN debate, and why building on open-source Bitcoin projects is one of the most powerful things a pleb can do right now. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 - Custom PCB Interfaces with Bitaxe Pins 3:51 - Gio's Bitcoin Journey Started During COVID 6:46 - Moving Coins From an Exchange 13:13 - Government Handouts 19:13 - Tips for Starting Projects on Geyser 26:42 - What is Wallax? 31:34 - Future Plans for Wallax 33:35 - Solo Mining and Mining Pools 40:04…
