It was in april or may 2022 that I saw these crazy videos on twitter of the great soundproof Black Box from Upstream Data.

I wanted to build something similar on my own. All I had was this picture from their shop.

So I went shopping, bought some high quality wooden plates and startet building. Here's my first sketch:

You gotta start somewhere, so I didn't hesitate and build an improvised workshop - in my carport...

I like , best of luck!!

Thanks, I've already finished the project and used the box for 7 months now.

I'll provide more info on the whole thing, my mining rewards, uptime though photovoltaic power over half a year etc., on a daily basis. Can't be arsed to write walls of text which might get buried in people's feeds because it's not PV/GM time for most of my followers 😜.

So my idea is to write a different kind of a "Twitter - thread" over several days with a reference to my earlier posts at the end of each note.

-PV-Mining Box Thread☀️⛏️ - Part #2:

Building the box was a blast. I quickly finished the interior, looking like this:

Then I needed something to dampen the sound. Bought some sub-standard Bastotect-plates, which also provide fire restistance! (Btw, I donated the unneeded plates to the Plebrap crew 🎤🎙️🎶)

I cut the plates, which was a long and annoying process tbh, glued them inside the box and was finally done (for the first time...)

To find part #1 of this thread, have a look here:
