Now back to Nairobi to get to Mauritius in time for the Africa Bitcoin Conference. @npub1ndzn...5nva
But not before stopping at Africa’s largest wind farm.

Tech, Africa, Bitcoin mining at Gridless. Kenya Relay: wss://nostr-1.nbo.angani.co
Doing some VERY offgrid (potential) site visits with @dannyknowles and Eric Yakes.
Hiking views.
The road out.
A number of places worse but I couldn’t get a video.
Cold morning at 8,000 feet. But we’re dry and have food.
Some days start hot, dry, and dusty.
Then end cold, wet, and muddy.
Deep in Kenya’s inhospitable northern desert, camels and goats are about the only animals people keep.
But did see an albino topi today!
Made our way to the southern part of Lake Turkana.
Caralluma acutangula. Desert rose. Campsite at the lake.
Ok. Fixed the shocks.
Now found a broken spring. Did a bush mechanic job on it. It’ll hold until Nairobi.
One shock down…
A lot of wind and sun up here.
And camels. 🐪 Most camels per capita in the world.
Some days you just need a tow strap.
Ended up fixing it, the FJ40 spark plugs needed some attention.
Heading into the northern desert
2.6MW “chocolate milk” hydro visit in Rwanda today.
A lot of debris, approximately 3 tons gets pulled out manually at 3 different points in a single day.
This “Imagine If” event that @Rod has created is something special.
Weekend favorites.
Favorite pics from last week.
The Proto miner hardware seems like a real step-change for ASICs. The reusable rig is amazing, now just swap out hashboards.
The modularity and openness (software and hardware) will allow everyone to do a lot more with them, and for a lot longer.
The rig is part of the infrastructure. The upgrade path is so much easier
AI adds load in two ways: massive one-off training runs and the relentless drip of inference as millions query models all day.
