The @btcplusplus Seoul hackathon came to an end🇰🇷
Two MDK challenges, two winners, two Bitairs by @heatbit_com handed over in person.
Here’s what got built on the Mining Development Kit by @tether
Sam wrote the first MDK Worker for the Bitair. An autopilot reads Nostr weather stations, switching the fleet to high when the air gets dirty and back to eco when it clears.
Mining that cleans the air you breathe 🌬️

More small miners. More medium miners. Everyone able to mine anywhere.
That’s why MDK is open: one standard for every machine, from a single home rig to the largest farms in the world.

Possibly the best Bitcoin explainer video for kids and adults 🧡

One integration instead of hundreds.
With 15 mining companies backing @tether's MDK, developers can build apps and AI agents that run across the industry’s hardware, pools and software. No custom integration per vendor.
This is what open dev kits are for.
