Tennessee was good as always (back soon). Now to β€œthe Treasure State” of Montana. Never been, looking forward to it!
We’re two weeks away and things are coming together quite nicely for the inaugural Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit in Nairobi. It’s really about miners in Africa being able to meet up in-person, learn from each other, share, and to build a community. image
Geothermal is pretty amazing energy tech. Not just the massive 200MW locations, but the small β€œnon-viable for commercial” ones too. image
Next month I’m Nairobi we have the first African Bitcoin Miners Summit and have miners from African 9 countries represented. Should be fun! image
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. It’s like an inverse peaker plant that earns money + stabilizes the grid. This is what the Chair of Kenya Power had to say (image): image View quoted note β†’
12 hours with no power across Kenya due to a fault at a generation site. That’s 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. image
Looking forward to this one! View quoted note β†’
Great to finally connect IRL with @npub1xrp7...jz7j! image
