Binmucker/by Conor Chepenik

A builder's home base on the internet.

Free tools, daily essays, Bitcoin projects, breathing exercises, a retro game, and a few experiments that defy category. If something is genuinely useful to me, I ship it so it can be useful to you too.

Start Here

I write every day

A commitment to daily publishing on Medium, no matter the mood.

I ship small useful tools

Audits, calculators, games, breathing aids. Built for me first.

Bitcoin and Lightning, always

Sound money, self-custody, and invisible payments are the throughline.

Health, family, weird detours

Software is not the whole point. The rest of life shows up here too.

Shipped from this desk

Built by Me

Original tools, services, and oddities I actually use.

Sound money and sovereignty

Bitcoin & Lightning

Tools and profiles for the Bitcoin-curious and the already-orange-pilled.

Daily output, public thinking

Writing & Ideas

Daily essays, longer posts, and the occasional argument with myself.

Not everything has to be productive

Play & Practice

A retro arcade, a Lightning racer, a breathing app, and a guitar coach. Reminders that software is not the whole point.

Behind the site

Who is the Binmucker?

I'm Conor Chepenik. A while back I committed to writing every day, forever, and that habit turned into a habit of building things in public. The tools, the books, the odd little apps, they all come out of that practice.

I care about Bitcoin, sovereignty, and software that respects your attention. I mostly build for myself first. If a thing is honestly useful to me, there is a decent chance it is useful to someone else too. That is what this site is. A place where the writing, the code, the experiments, and the detours all live together.

Value for value

If something here saved you time, taught you something, or made you laugh, you can send sats. Not required. I keep building either way. This is just how you participate in the healthy version of the internet if you want to.
