Hey guys, Came across this new depin project yesterday 4DSKY providing edge-native flight tracking for real-time airspace awareness, supporting drone operations, airports, and traffic management. This is definitely in a field that interests me, having spent 26 yrs in the commercial flying world. Huge upside potential for this one, but early days and ideally suited for a busy suburban environment where low level high flight traffic density will be operating. Think Amazon deliveries or Uber eats by drone ! 🤯 I'll post this in to the classroom articles for all members and if you did want to buy a hardware device like the Jetvision Airsquitter from helium deploy you can get 10% off at checkout using code "CryptoforKiwis"

hey hey 👋 Is it still worth mining BTC ?? I hear this often and my initial response has been "probably not", based on the upfront cost of the mining rigs, power consumption, staying up to date with the latest miners and generally having a decent amount of knowledge to set it all up ! However I was recently challenged again around this, in particular with reference to cloud mining. The benefits being NO upfront cost, (other than purchasing in to the pool) and NO setup required, could it be a long term passive income option?? I may have just changed my viewpoint based on the following thought experiment 😎: Projected BTC Yield Over 3 Years With a $1,000 investment yielding ~0.000055 BTC/day initially (at ~$92,000 BTC and current difficulty ~130T), total BTC mined over 1,095 days drops under realistic scenarios due to Bitcoin difficulty rising every ~2 weeks (2016 blocks). ​ Key Assumptions - Base hash rate: Fixed for your contract (no decay modeled, guaranteed uptime but difficulty erodes output).​ - Difficulty growth: Conservative 5% per 2-week epoch (historical avg ~5-10% post-2017); aggressive 10%. Network currently at 130T, projected to 149T+ in 1 year.​ - No halving impact (next ~2028); ignores fees, cloud mining cuts (~10-20%). BTC/day = initial × (initial_diff / current_diff) Potential Results ​Flat scenario (0% difficulty growth): - Avg daily BTC: 0.000055 - Total BTC mined: 0.0602 - USD value at $1M BTC: $60,200 Conservative scenario (5% growth per 2-week epoch, ~4.1x difficulty multiplier): - Avg daily BTC: 0.0000134 - Total BTC mined: 0.0147 - USD value at $1M BTC: $14,700 Aggressive scenario (10% growth per 2-week epoch, ~17.4x difficulty multiplier): - Avg daily BTC: 0.0000032 - Total BTC mined: 0.0035 - USD value at $1M BTC: $3,500 The conservative case (~0.015 BTC total) remains most realistic based on historical 5-10% epoch growth patterns, yielding 15x ROI in sats at $1M BTC despite erosion from rising network difficulty (~130T currently).
