About ProofOfMike

I’m Mike. ProofOfMike is where I keep Bitcoin desk-mining notes (real-world stats, tuning, temps), plus sports takes with a stats angle. I found my footing years ago in the BBS and EFnet world, spent time around big data platforms like Hadoop, and I’ve been around Bitcoin since the early days.

What I’m about

Bitcoin / desk-mining

I was mining back in 2014 with hardware most people today haven’t even heard of. These days I run small, desk-friendly miners and write down what I actually see over time, not brochure numbers. Bitaxe and NerdQaxe, solo mining and pool notes, tuning, temps, efficiency, and simple tools so people can sanity-check their setups. The Bitaxe project made home mining fun again, and that’s a big part of why this site exists.

Sports + stats

Sports and stats are a big part of my brand. Celtics, Patriots, and Bruins for life. UFC is appointment viewing. I’m constantly in the mix on NFL, NBA, UFC, and NHL, usually reacting to what’s happening in real time and leaning on numbers, trends, and context, not just hot takes.

Dad life

I’m a dad, and I’m a basketball dad in particular. Real life comes first, so the site is built to keep everything organized and easy to reference when I’m moving fast.

Off the screen

When I’m not behind a keyboard, I’m usually chasing winter or water. Avid skier, avid water skier, and all around life enjoyer.

Bruiser

Bruiser is my bulldog. He shows up in the content because he’s always around, and because the internet deserves more bulldog nonsense.
