We have looked into this a little bit. Hashboards are 12vDC which is easy enough to produce, however is susceptible to voltage drop without very large cable. As such, most PV modules run at a higher voltage. You would need to use charge controllers that step power down from a higher voltage coming off of the PV array to 12v for a battery bank. You then need the miners to be very close to the batteries to save on copper. My assessment is that it’s doable for small scale hobby projects but not economically practical for anything you’re trying to really stack with. 48v batteries with inverters provides a more reliable solution for any kind of scale IMO

Meetup tonight in Portsmouth VA! We have some new koozies for sale!

Received a package via Nostr this week. Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqswp94gnm4epqsgjkndl4lnd8krzdj5u4mzuppdtxksdymkty63g7gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9e3k76twdaeju6t02n8lvl, the hodl butter is on point!

Whoa.

GM, Happy Pizza Day! 🫡

Saw this on the docks today. Great name, great graphic! (~}:=

Good evening. I will soon be building a proper uninterruptible power supply for our nodes and internet hardware. If everything runs at max consumption it should last 48hrs, but in reality I’m expecting to be able to run for more than a week without any battery charging whatsoever. Stay tuned!

Good afternoon. If you’re operating a small business and hosting your own payments infrastructure I want to open a channel with you.

Good morning! Very interested in what you’re working on over there. We have someone that brings us small batch, locally roasted artisan coffee to sell in our store, mostly for sats. Looking for more products like that, in addition to learning how small producers can leverage freedom tech to grown their market. 🫡

I’ve been here since the beginning with other npubs, mostly lurking. Intent is to participate heavily with this one!

Good morning. It’s a wet and windy day at Mile Zero. The free dock is full of cruisers waiting out the nasty weather. Perhaps I should invite them into the shop to learn about #bitcoin

Hello Nostr! Mile Zero Marine is a retail store located at Mile Marker Zero of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) in Portsmouth, Virginia. We provide marine supplies to boaters transiting the ICW, specializing in energy systems.

We accept bitcoin payments online and in the store and we work hard to promote Bitcoin adoption. We host the nostr:npub1laerrxhhvjz3u8lqtazemkqqj3rek3hr8z6v9jjpxxaruhqv6wwq80z53g Freedom Tech meetup on the second Saturday of the month.

Give us a follow if you are interested in boating, energy, freedom tech or small business as we will focus on those topics here. We look forward to connecting with you!
