A visualization in 15s resolution and a time span of about 18 months, plotted on a 24-hour day, of the grid demand on our Zambia community site.
(Not shown is the generation line ~500-700kW. Everything between that generation line and above the dark blue is usable by bitcoin mining)
I was asked how "How is there left over energy if AI is in the stack?" and how it is all managed.
So, here's my explainer video on how a Gridless site uses every watt as we layer in AI:
- The community gets their power first
- AI is set to a known/firm block
- Bitcoin miners buy whatever is left so that nothing is wasted.
Cool BTC surfboard to add to our knickknack shelf from our friends at @BitcoinEkasi - thanks!
He also joined us for a visit to our 1.5MW biomass site. Braving Kenya’s roads, and seeing how we battle dust and heat.
We had @ryankuester in Kenya for @btcplusplus last week.
Here is his @256FOUNDATION podcast on his experiences and seeing how open source bitcoin mining is such a big deal for us in Africa.

Swing by our space and listen to Erik and the team talk at 2pm today about our Jua Kali miner at @btcnairobi_conf
Jua Kali is an open source project turning solar 12v mining on with old hashboards.
We’re kicking off with @rkirubi setting the stage for why bitcoin and why Nairobi.
@btcnairobi_conf
Taking some @btcplusplus to see our biomass site in Kenya.
We’ve got a bunch of the open source bitcoin mining people in Nairobi this week for @btcplusplus
Including @protomining, @256FOUNDATION, and @tether balding side our own @GridlessCompute Jua Kali team.
