#asknostr A guy from the fiat mines was showing me how much energy he's making from his solar panels, we started discussing the fact that soon he will probably have to pay energy companies for his excess power (which is completely bonkers ofc) and i then tried explaining #btc mining to him.. which I guess worked out since he is now texting me for more information on it. So, long story short, what sources could be useful to share with him, he has no idea what BTC or Mining is. I would like to focus on mining tbh, 'the btc standard' would be too much to start off with, I'm sure. Thanks in advance! <3

It’s very hard to convince people to start mining bitcoin if they don’t value bitcoin. Mining with just solar without having need for heat doesn’t make much sense if there is no battery already in place. Because the operation would just run a few hours a day, not interesting financially in the Netherlands.
There is a battery system in place, so it could run consistently and I did use heating as an argument also, here we don't have to pay to have excess energy put on the net yet, unlike in the Netherlands.i believe it to be worth even if it doesn't make complete sense financially.. just looking for info pointing out the benefits but I'm drawing a blank on what webpages explain this properly these days.. Thanks for the jnfo!
