Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.

@@user-tc3ou6sy5f the consumed energy is the price for the security and independence. it's like with backup disks of a personal computer. total waste of time and money. until the day comes the internal disk goes bad just from one day to the other. then you'll be happy to have spent the wasted time and money, at least if you have files that cannot be recreated (e.g. photos) or would take a lot of time to recreate.

Ty did a wonderful job of explaining in layman's terms but so much information. I feel it is an awesome concept. Hope you can do some more videos to explain further. Have a great weekend, Mike!

So good to see Mike back in the saddle. When Mike previewed this video some time ago, I started researching BitCoin. I had heard of it of course. I don’t get it, and probably never will. No problem, because I really don’t care. A highly controversial endeavor given the enormous energy needs. I think one thing I did understand is that BitCoin has a finite life span that will be reached in like 20 years. Then what happens? Not a rhetorical question. Anyway, Mike I hope we can look forward to more videos. I think you should give us some updates on how you are doing. None of our business, I get it, but there are a lot of us out here who remain concerned about you.

Some of us are home immersion mining and reusing the heat to heat our homes. I have 2 ASIC miners in a small C2 Foghashing set up with a heat exchanger hooked up to my hot water heater intake and diverted to a water to air radiator in my furnace to heat my home in the winter. 2years and counting. I run my miners hard during the day to use the excess solar power my home solar creates so I don’t have to sell it back to excel at a discounted rate. Works for me. Not to save the world, but for purely selfish reasons. If you take the time to understand this, it’s a no brainer. ROI was 8 months.

even if so they are not in control of it anymore. just as mentioned in the video, no single person is. only the majority. bitcoin addresses (comparable to bank account numbers) generally have no connection to any name. everyone can see the transactions going from one address to another but nobody knows who the owners of these addresses are. except the owner of the address tells someone.

Before people complain about the power usage- coal plants can’t easily shut down or ramps down when usage is low so they have to find ways to use up the extra. It could be pumping water from a low elevation reservoir to a high elevation reservoir so that water can be used for hydroelectric power during peak times. Or they’ll give discounts to high usage companies like an aluminum smelter to only use power during the slow times. Having these coal plants running this way is WAY cheaper than using a natural gas power plant or even a diesel plant, which are both used for more peak demand times.
