Topic: [11.2kW SOLAR/WIND/MAN] NastyMining Green Energy Project ☀️💨💪🔋 (Read 73116 times)

 my friend build a Spa center and  a Bitcoing mining farm that operate under liquid to get cool down
and the heat if the liquid goes under the spa pool to heat the water , thats very good idea too

what a amazing idea for prevent of environment pollution. Now a day many mining organization used electricity to burn fossil and also used water resource. Those are not secure for environment.If can used sunlight for mining bitcoin its a very inspiring to others.

I finally got around to taking screenshots of the updated statistics and updating all my images to talkimg for hosting.  I'm sorry that it took me so long to do this, but I sort of expected the forum would resolve this issue.  You can see we're closing in on 100 tons of CO2 avoided and 120,000 kWh of energy generated.  Last month my electric bill was $16.  I am truly thankful for those who have donated to this project or purchased goods from https://nastyfans.org/mint to help keep this going.  You support is appreciated.  

I also went ahead and posted the total cost of this solar system, which was $24,487.92.

I'm also still using the stationary bike almost daily, although I would recommend sticking to solar for energy production.

That would be Great ...

Especially if there are any details for Australian Residence.

It is solved you just have to move your images here: https://talkimg.com/
Discussion here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/talkimgcom-image-hosting-for-bitcointalk-5450546

There are also a few scripts that will move your images from imgur to talkimg.

As for the solar roof  / powerwall. We are looking at converting the condo building to use something like that but getting all 6 owners to agree is not a simple process. Not to mention spending $ on a roof that is still in perfect condition is a really hard sell.

It’s been a couple years since I’ve updated information relating to this project. I should probably do that soon. It’s pretty amazing how much of an impact having alternative energy production at home for the last 6 years has had, not just on my bills but also the environment when I look at the statistics. Hopefully bitcointalk will get their image displaying issue resolved so the information here isn’t lost.

Tesla’s Powerwall App has been updated with the ability to take your home off grid. This is pretty cool. With the touch of a button on my phone I can now power my home exclusively with the battery backup. Granted when you add mining into the mix it only lasts a couple of hours, but still extremely cool. I just wish I had more space for solar panels and more batteries!

Anybody looking into the possibility of going solar with a Tesla roof, I have a referral code to get you a $100 discount.  Every new customer who uses the referral code to activate their Tesla solar roof will get a free gift from me and if 10 people use the code successfully, I will give away $1000 to one of the referred users.

This giveaway is to incentivize solar power use and do my part to share referrals with potential customers to give them a little extra incentive to go green.  Best of luck to everyone!

Reach out to me via a personal message and let me know you want a Tesla Solar Roof referral code.  Thanks!

OgNasty ...

I have known you from MANY years ago initially with the Escrow Service you provided (and still provide?), so trusting you with the support is a 'no-brainer' with your Solar Projects. I will have a look and see what is involved, though our projects in the Solar Field is not just HouseHolds, but Solar Farms amd Property Conversions to Solar is what I am talking about where we will have a look at what possibilities are available to encompass projects like yours as an integration of sorts rather than a joint effort by supporting only the Nasty Projects.

I will definitely look at where we can fit in with the projects you currently have.

Thanks for your reply Mate!

NastyFans already has the infrastructure there for anyone to work with us who wants to.  All you have to do is donate BTC to NastyFans here: 1NastyFRkeUTmMdbMmzggDVTQA6r3ibUoX

If anyone wants to benefit from our mining operation or our product sales, all they need to do is purchase seats at https://nastyfans.org and enjoy their weekly BTC distributions.

Once other mining operations buy into NastyFans and join us in raising funds for the group, you will start to see the potential of a shared community mining venture.  You do not need to discuss anything with us, or seek permission.  You need only join and take part with us. 

Tax is always an issue ...

BUT there are always ways of minimizing Tax. You cannot avoid it without dire consequences.

We are looking at expanding also, and I am willing to look at others to work with us here at CWI with what we are doing. No wind, just Solar for the time being.

@stonehedge

I was looking into Iceland rig hosting (Thor and Moljnir) but there seem to be some legal / tax challenges if you live outside of Iceland that you need to work through before you can pursue colocating rigs there.

Have you had to deal with this or are you based there?

The member you replied to is a newbie and who knows how or what he's mining or how much he understands.  And while you can't mine bitcoin on GPUs anymore, those crap altcoins that can be mined with them can be converted to bitcoin easily enough, which is a viable alternative for those folks who can't afford ASIC miners.  You probably know that, but I figured I'd point it out anyway.

OgNasty, you and I may not like each other, but I very much respect your green energy project.  I only wish I had enough money to get started in bitcoin mining and doing it with solar power.  I'm not interested in doing it through anyone else--maybe some day in the future I'll be able to afford some solar panels (and the bitcoin mining hardware, too). 

Any insight on rig hosting companies that are predominantly sourcing energy from renewables? 

I have been looking but doesn't seem to have too many, especially in states that don't have income tax.

Thoughts?

Bitcoin miners do not use videocards or motherboards. While still useful for mining crap altcoins, those became useless for mining BTC in late 2013 when ASIC-based miners hit the market.

That said, you are neglecting the fact that miners require fairly tight regulation of the voltage input fed to the hash boards. In the case of older miners that use separate PSU's their range is from 11.5 to 12.5vdc. Too low and their internal Vcore regulators will not have enough margin to operate, too high and you risk damaging said regulators.

The newer miners all use integrated PSU's that provide an adjustable output between 15-21vdc and the actual voltage is adjusted up-down by the hardware to match the speed you are running the chips at. The hash boards have no secondary regulators for Vcore - the PSU itself is adjusted to take the place of the secondary regulators and that gives a several percent increase in efficiency. The autotuning process tests various combinations of clock speed and voltage to get best performance so again, a fixed DC supply voltage is a no-go.

Lead-acid batteries will vary from a resting voltage of 12.2 and have a charging voltage over 14v. Under load the voltage can go down to 10v or lower depending on what the battery can tolerate before it is damaged.

Hi,
don't know why people use those expensive inverters in solar mining rig,

you can install your 12V solar panels + battery + battery charger and attach your battery's output to your 12V video card's input
if you use regular motherboard with 20pin power source connector replace your regular PSU with a PicoPSU from minipc.de it also take power from battery 12V output

hope can help you.

Hi all,

Hi OP, I was thinking about your site plan ..


Well, I think Bitcoin mining farming is no different than the traditional datacenter industry and I  think they are doing a great job at building and scaling their massive computational workloads.

One of the aspects that comes to my mind is the cooling systems.

"A significant portion of data center inefficiencies systems from cooling overhead, with chillers being the largest culprit. Cooling losses are three times greater than power losses, presenting the most promising target for efficiency improvements: if all cooling losses were eliminated, the Power Usage Effectiveness - PUE would drop to 1.26, whereas a zero-loss UPS system would yield as PUE of only 1.8. Typically, the worse a facility’s PUE is, the higher the percentage of the total loss comes from the cooling system [BM06]. Intuitively, there are only so many ways to mishandle a power distribution system, but many more ways to mishandle cooling"[1]

Saying that, another day I came about with that idea of optimizations that can be done at datacenter floor designers such as the idea of "Server Dome"

Beyond ServerDome: The bizarre-looking data center that saves water and energy

https://youtu.be/A7fKmlTeHJk

https://serverdomes.com/faq/

What the OP think about that idea? Also I was wondering if it's possible to create a small model, lets say using 5 old Antminer S9 rearrange then on "Server Dome" configuration and actually perform some measurements?

I went ahead and updated the solar energy statistics.  The solar system has produced nearly 69 thousand kWh to date and continues to function without issue.

The environmental savings data might be the most impressive as you can see the impact of even this small operation going green on the environment.  This data is calculated by taking the energy produced by the system (kWh) and multiplying it by a conversion value provided by the EPA to estimate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions avoided.

Thanks for that mind bending comment.

I would counter that statement by saying the an upside of crypto is that it encourages cheaper and more sustainable energy generation practices that could lead to innovation in the field that would not have occurred otherwise. 

It's heat generation is also not a problem in many areas.  I know I haven't had to run my heater in years during the winter and if I lived somewhere cold it could be useful all year round. 

I think stating only the negatives is a bit short sided.  My house wouldn't be solar powered without Bitcoin, nor would I have ever cared enough to look into other alternative energy generation techniques.

Thanks OG, will drop you a PM when I have a few moments.
