I doubt they would take it by force. A lot of Americans are very war weary but it’s not up to us anymore. I feel like a lot of it is just bluster but who knows anymore. Most of us don’t care and just want to focus on internal issues but that’s not how politicians and Raytheon get rich.

I’m thinking into the future. Maybe I go from just bitaxes to something with a bit more hash power.I’d like to know They can run overnight without running out of power. I don’t think I’ll ever hit a block but I think it would be cool to help the network while being 100 percent solar.

After 3 months of poor solar mining conditions, hashrate is ripping again, off grid, at the yurt.

Late October was the last time a miner was plugged into the solar power system at the yurt. As the solar mining season comes to a close, the winter heating season begins and the miners are needed for heat in the house.

The system was expanded to its maximum production potential with the existing inverter, and charge controllers. This allows for full utilization of the equipment for Bitcoin mining which fast tracking the return on investment. Since installing the equipment, Bitcoin mining has already recoupped 25 percent of the total cost. (There is a 30 percent tax refund/credit whatever the fuck too)

It's a totally different story when denominating the expenses in Bitcoin (that's true of anything). The goal was to increase resilience and balance forms of capital. It's impossible to know when a extended power outage might occur and this solar power setup is enough to keep my essential loads running, plus I already had the miners to utilize the power in the meantime. Now, the system is completely installed, and I'm familiar with it's operations and repairs. After the power is out it's too late, and I'll wish I already had the system instead of Bitcoin anyway.

Thanks for sharing your progress. In the process of building a couple hundred watt solar panel system to run a bitaxe and charge LiFePo4 batteries to expand the capacity of my ecoflow for emergencies. Now I’m starting to think I should make a separate system just for miners

I’ll do it today, if I don’t I’ll probably never start.

Would I be crazy to assume with the 1000w limit that means per system? If they are separate I probably have room for 2 or 3kwh total. I mean separate lol

Looks like aprox 12k usd for 13.5 kWh. Not too bad just a big upfront investment. Would be very nice tho. My setup will probably only include Charging batteries rather than hooking up to my elect panel. I’m renting and I don’t want to get into permitting projects. I’m able to do around 1000w standalone solar panel setups. My neighborhood gets power shutoff for wind fairly regularly so it would mainly be used to offset that and maybe power some appliances during peak hours.

I watched a few videos on that and it seems a little more involved which I’m not afraid of in theory. The only thing that makes me want to buy the $200 dollar premade batteries is it seems like the individual cells you Link are Li-ion vs the LiFePo4 with the renogy/ speed queen batteries

What brand of battery did you use? I’ve read that solar panels are more or less a commodity now and the difference between them isn’t staggering. But with batteries I wasn’t sure. I bought a kepworth battery off Amazon and was thinking about picking up another one before the tariffs make the price go way up.

Bought an ecoflow and it got me interested in diy solar setups. Now I’m building my first setup. Couple of 100watt eco worth panels, nothin fancy. Just enough to charge a little 12v 100ah battery
