Kent Halliburton from Sazmining joins me from Peru to unpack Mining as a Service, own your rig, host it in a pro data center, and DCA natively through energy, not exchanges. We dig into why most of the early supply was mined and not bought, how exchange convenience led to centralization pressures, and why bringing regular Bitcoiners back to mining strengthens the network’s immune system.Kent breaks down cost anatomy in plain English, kWh, difficulty, pay per share vs pay per block, why Luxor and Ocean pools differ, why Sazmining chose Knots over Core at the node and template layer, and his long view, Bitcoin as our Milan Cathedral, a 500 year project that demands conservatism, clarity, and courage.Connect with KentX: [https://x.com/khalliburton](https://x.com/khalliburton)Nostr: [https://iris.to/kent](https://iris.to/kent)Sazmining: [https://x.com/Sazmining](https://x.com/Sazmining)Linktree: [https://linktr.ee/sazmining](https://linktr.ee/sazmining)Show Links and Partners🔐 Multisig Custody, The Bitcoin Adviser👉 content.thebitcoinadviser.com/the-bitcoin-nova🪙 MicroSeed, Protect Your Seed Phrase👉 [https://microseed.io/?ref=XSTACI](https://microseed.io/?ref=XSTACI)👟 SatoShoes, Wear the Signal👉 satoshoes.co.uk?ref=xstac1⚡ Value 4 Value, Tip Staci👉 strike.me/xstac1Chapters00:00 Kent’s path, Oregon to solar to world travel to Portugal to Bitcoin03:37 What is Mining as a Service, own the rig, host it remotely08:51 Why mining matters for acquisition and decentralization13:40 Energy math 101, kWh, difficulty, cost per bitcoin lens18:26 Wild sats, KYC free pathways, and paying for energy23:33 Pools, Luxor vs Ocean, steady PPS vs block based payouts28:30 Social layer, incentives, and Bitcoin’s immune system33:36 Knots over Core, conservatism, clarity, and incentives40:23 Common sense beats word salad, explain it like I’m five46:16 Teaching simply, Mark Twain, culture, and gaslighting49:39 Self interest, the Matrix moment, and time horizons56:32 Closer, Stay true to yourself, trust your inner compassDisclaimerEducational only, not financial advice.
