If you don't ask, it won't happen. Don't lose the ability to talk to people.
When our solar contractor built our system, I asked if he could install a power point in the shed that turned on when the batteries hit 95% and off again at 60%. He was intrigued and said no worries and just made it happen.
Then I educated him on bitcoin mining and made some comparisons between how much you can mine vs how much you can make with a feed-in tariff back to the grid (fuck all).
Then I asked if I could pay some of the bill in home raised, grass fed beef. He was very receptive and gave his contractors a beefy Xmas bonus.
His work was extremely professional, he now has a better understand of bitcoin, his workers' families got fed real food for Xmas, the tax man saw less, we're now completely off-grid, we're mining bitcoin again using limitless energy from the sun and it's all automated.

We have avoided using any fertilizers or poisons on our property and as a result, we are prolific in dung beetles.
It's a beautiful thing to see the soil so alive.

Yes, I've been keeping track since my twitter days.
$15.5T in 6 years - and no slowing down in sight.
For context, assuming an average American earns around $50,000 per year, $15.5 trillion is equivalent to the LIFETIME earnings of about 310 million people.
