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.
