GM! SolarBits are being deployed around the world.

We're going to be offering DIY kits for anyone who's up for the challenge of building a SolarBit himself. These kits are going to be made available in September, the exact date depends on how fast we can get a full build video guide done.

I got lucky and just hat to split the bigger pieces, about 30% of the total.

Stacked sats and firewood, today was a good day!

But I'm an europoor, so no delivery to me. 😪

SolarNode is syncing!

Yes, you can run a #Bitcoin node in Solarbit, all it takes is making an appropriate cable and picking the voltage output corresponding to your board specs. In this case, I made an XT30 to 5mm barrel jack cable for the RockPro64.

To mount the board, I designed a universal board mount for Solarbit, currently compatible with:

-Rockpro64

-Raspberry Pi 4&5

-BitPirat Gen 3

There's still room left on this mount, so feel free to suggest other boards for even broader compatibility.

Aber ohne Staat, wer baut dann die Radwege?

Did you ever run your own node? Been running mine for years and I rarely have any trouble transacting even with larger payments. LN has it's caveats, but once you have a few channels established transacting becomes an absolute non issue.

Stealing this one. It's "our meme" now. Also GM

GM! You asked for them, so R0ckstar accessories are coming. 😄

First the obvious accessory, BTCPayDogTag.

Here are two quick and dirty hodlonaut helmet options made in blender, the helmet on the right is a fairly accurate representation, while the one on the left is a more abstract variation, but with a visor. Which one should we explore further?

Next up - R0ckstar Stamp Base. Stay tuned.

2TB, RockChip, Linux OS and fully open-source. While this might be a really cool smartphone, all I see is the perfect mobile node. I want one.
