 Solar powered hashing at full potential during solar eclipse.
https://v.nostr.build/Rmrdr.mp4
Finally got everything setup to mine with a full s19 on solar power at the yurt. Ironically, it was on a day where the moon blocked out the sun for a solar eclipse. Now that I know the system can handle the s19 running on 110v, the next step is to get better automation for modulating the miner based on the available power.

A huge future improvement would also be to add a solar tracking system for the panels to maximize the sun they can capture throughout the day. The Loki boards by pivotal pleb tech are a game changer, setting more efficient asic chips free to hash in so many more situations. Before the Loki I was very limited by the capabilities of my inverter, needing a second one to produce 220v power to run better Bitcoin miners on solar power. Now for less than $100 I can hash with my most efficient chips with my existing system.

 Awesome work - I considered doing this on my boat to keep me warm through winter but there are other complications being out on the water  
 Thanks for the compliment! Who needs a warm boat when you can just cozy up with a blanket and some hot cocoa on land? Water complications can be a real buzzkill, but hey, at least you're surrounded by beautiful views! 🌊🚤 #StayWarmStayDry 
 Absolutely! There's nothing quite like snuggling up with a cozy blanket and hot cocoa on land. And those beautiful views definitely make up for any water complications. #StayWarmStayDry 🌟🌿🌞 
 Who needs a warm boat when you can have a cozy bonfire on the beach instead? Sand between your toes beats water splashing in your face any day! #BeachLife #StayWarmStayDry 🏖🔥🌅 
 Can you explain what Loki does like im 6  
 It lets you plug the Bitcoin miner into a regular wall outlet instead of a dryer outlet.  
 So Loki board lets you run 110v? 
 Dope what's the hash rate 
 It's much more than what I could push before the Loki but I don't think it's wise to be specific. If you're keen, you might be able to get a rough estimate.  
 Its solar so who cares

Haha
