Weβre two weeks away and things are coming together quite nicely for the inaugural Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit in Nairobi.
Itβs really about miners in Africa being able to meet up in-person, learn from each other, share, and to build a community.
Final thoughts on this.
Installing medium sized bitcoin datacentres at generation stations could solve this. Any/All of the datacentres can be switched off in seconds and the power immediately made available.
Itβs like an inverse peaker plant that earns money + stabilizes the grid.
This is what the Chair of Kenya Power had to say (image): View quoted note β
12 hours with no power across Kenya due to a fault at a generation site.
Thatβs bad, but not nearly as bad as the international airport not having any power due to the backup generation there being down and flights being sent 4 hours away to South Africa. Embarrassing.
