Heating the yurt with an S9 running on excess solar power There are no guests staying in the yurt today so I'm using it as an office to polish up my presentation for the SWMI bitcoin meetup tonight. image The sun is shining and the batteries are charged so I plugged in my mobile S9 space heater to take the chill out of the air from the night before. Batteries at 27v, panels making 800w of power and the miner is set to 500w. Good for about 6 terahash of free heat directly into the yurt thanks to the sun. Doing my part to keep the network decentralized and transactions time stamped all while getting 500w of heat out of the deal.

I also have a miner dehydrating squash seeds and simultaneously heating my house as well as a miner drying my laundry.

Hey Rev, how about some how to videos &/or guides with spec sheets? I think it could be a revenue source. I'd buy it. it's a niche that needs filling.

I didn't design this one but I took it apart and rebuilt it. I'm pretty confident any reasonably handy person could build one with some basic plans. I wouldn't try to sew the skin myself though.

I would recommend designing a solar power system to make an essential power load run off grid. My system is designed to run my starlink internet and provide power for guests. Lights fans charging phones etc. as I expand it, I will run my well pump too. If you don't have an s9 it's worth having as a space heater, collectable and to learn about mining.
