Awesome Solar Power And Burning Through Fire Wood On The Homestead

in #blog6 years ago

We had power to burn the other day so I ran a cryptocurrency mining rig on solar power for free. I also topped all all my rechargeable batteries and devices.

When the sun shines bright and full on the solar panels I can fire up a mining rig and mine cryptocurrency for free on solar power. In the summer this can be up to 8 hours long but in winter I am lucky to get half that. But still I am mining for free on excess solar power so anything I mine is free.

For those who dont know solar power as well I will explain a bit. Off grid homes must have more solar panels than they need on a good day so that on cloudy days they still have enough energy. But this means that on sunny days you have excess solar power.

You also need to have enough batteries to power your needs through the night or on a few cloudy days. Once your batteries are topped off though and the sun is still shining brightly, the rest of the energy is wasted. Some homes use water heaters to use this excess energy and some use grid power. We use a mining rig to gain something from our excess energy.

I also top off all my battery powered devices on sunny days to take full advantage of the sun.

We are burning through the fire wood like there is no tomorrow this year. Last year we started to burn fire wood in November full time. This year we already had to start up full time in September and we have not let the fire go out yet. We already burnt more fire wood this year than we did last year, I think.

I am going to head out into the woods to keep harvesting fire wood just to be on the safe side. Winter is just beginning and it looks like it is going to be a cold one.

I am being grayed out on my own blog. Let me try again:

Some grid tie but that costs a lot of money. To grid tie every single piece of the solar power system from the frame to the bolts has to be UL listed and installed by a professional. Then the electrical part, which is costly.

I prefer to mine cryptocurrency for free, earning money with my solar power a different way :)

I do similar. I've got a couple of smartphones running miner apps. They're always plugged into my DIY solar

Why don't you spend the holidays with your wife and child instead of lying about people on social media? I'm sure they would rather you pay attention to them than strangers here.

Then stop the racism and stop harassing my daughter!!!!

there is no racism or child harassment troy and you have not shown where this has taken place. you have not shown or proven who is doing it. you refuse to report it to the police despite everyone telling you to. clearly it is not happening.

stop falsely accusing people of things and try spending the holidays with your family instead of lying about people on social media.

Are you sure you are ok troy? I think you need help. Please see a mental health doctor.

A whole psychology book could be written about Troy’s mental state.

Go and lie down Troy and your Papa will come and read you a story.
