New update from the solar mining project: The cover plates are finished. The full setup is now running on battery and solar – and it works! However, a few new insights: The miners sit a bit too high, causing heat buildup. I’m working on a partition plate to improve airflow. Also, under full load, voltage drops below 5V – which can damage the miners over time and makes overclocking impossible, despite solid water cooling. I’ve ordered adjustable power supplies to compensate for the voltage drop going forward. #mining #bitcoin #solar image image

And just out of curiosity (I know jack-shit about stuff like this) what’s the pros/cons of using a bunch of Bitaxes rather than one bigger Asic (like the S19 or what they’r called)? Is it better suited to pair with solar?

Right now, I’m running just a single solar panel with a maximum output of 440 W – far from enough to power a typical ASIC miner, which draws around 3000 W at 230 V. My miners, however, run on 5 V, which comes with a few advantages: I don’t need an inverter and can power them directly via DC. I can also toggle individual chips on or off – perfect for working within a tight power budget. Whether this setup will prove worthwhile in the long run is hard to say, but it’s definitely fun to experiment with.
