Use solar power to produce some cryptographic currency.
Did you see my partly constructed new office/workshop? See the full build process on Julian's Shednanigans:

After the tax laws became too complicated for me in the US, I powered down my rigs. And now use my 1200 watt array exclusively for “shed power”. Sad. Here you have to calculate every coin you mined, when you mined it, profit when sold OR converted to other coin.. etc.. I would be content with simply paying taxes when I converted coins to USD but well maybe that how it works elsewhere.
He, he. Don't forget to deduct the cost of paracetamol 😂
Ahh now I see Julian.
This makes sense.
Isn't your power wall off set to the sun?
As in moving out their left and tipping up should make more power from the panel?
I would go for a tracker system. Due to the sun angle and the garden. I spent most my time looking at the shadows.
But for what you're using (in power) you would need 3 of the panels, that would work out to be around 680w.
Aren't there other ways?
Storage selling. Get paid for harddrive space. A micro server is 56w under load.
Chia, I don't know anything about that, but same kind of thing.
Oh and not forgetting SEG. That was 5p kWh on one I did see.
And of you were 285w hour 5 hours….you could have made more money…
Can you try a lower tech set-up?
Large wooden water wheel connected to a dynamo/clutched alternator, via sizeable gearing to generate the rpm's required to see decent output.
Use that to top up your power bank that feeds the miner.
Power a water pump ( aquarium pump ) to recycle the water used with the wheel. Have a waterwheel weighted flywheel somewhere to act as the kinetic reservoir to keep the wheel spinning.
The key difference in wheel design is that there are less buckets but they're larger, once filled, and filled indirectly from a slave reservoir that is filled and then tips water content ( via gravity ) the weight of the water into the main waterwheel bucket, causing the wheel to turn as gravity pulls it down and empties. Because the alternator is clutched and the waterwheel has a weighted flywheel, the waterwheel continues to spin whilst empty; until it's turning rpm has fallen below a predetermined speed and a bucket reset catch is deployed, stopping one of the main wheel bucket directly under the prefilled ( by now ) water slave bucket ready to drop its fluid contents once more to repeat the cycle.
I feel this could be a collaboration video project between yourself, Tom Scott and Colin Furze.
Yourself= electronics
Tom= mechanical physics
Colin= hardware construction
So if you only have one antminer, then the money generated is not worth the hassle of setting the rig up. In fact, chances are, the electricity cost of charging the powerbank up (for the wireless repeater) is more than the income generated by the antminer at its lowest frequency…
😂
Hi Julian, what's the latest earnings on your antminers, wanted to check if its worth mining coins?
can you turn sunlight into cash ? Farmers have been doing that for quite awhile — you'll make more money by selling a small batch of (whatever grows in your area) at a farmer's market than bitcoin mining.
Holy shit, your neighbours will think there's an air raid siren going off.
Not sure about the UK but usually you can connect your solar pannels to the public powergrid and get paid for the electric energy. Maybe thats a bit boring, but for sure more effecitive.
Considering that newest miners work 1000 times faster you could earn 10 USD a day, wasting 10 times more energy
😉 or so.
