Monero client sync

Speed up the initial blockchain sync with these steps:

# WINDOWS: Create a new folder with Windows File Explorer, and use your web browser to download the following two files to the new folder
https://downloads.getmonero.org/win64
https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw

# WINDOWS: Double click the Monero zip file that has been downloaded to extract it. Then open Command Prompt. Use the 'cd' command to naviate to your new folder
cd monero
monero-blockchain-import.exe --verify 0 --input-file ./blockchain.raw

# WINDOWS: Delete the raw blockchain download as it is no longer needed
del blockchain.raw

BIOS Tuning

<in progress>

 

Miner settings

Since the Equihash (Zcash) algorithm usually prefers a higher core timing than does the Ethash algorithm that is used for Ethereum mining, I also ran a second test run with the core clock set a bit higher to 1300 MHz. I then needed to increase the core voltage to 1050mv too, so it does come as a trade-of between hash/sec versus power consumption. On the plus side, Zcash is not as memory bandwidth dependent as Ethereum, you can lower the memory clocks a bit, or to default in this case, to save a bit of power.

100% Solar Energy day – achievement unlocked!

I’m very proud of my parent as we were able to achieve 100% solar and renewable energy generation on 23rd July 2017!!!

System configuration:

We were able to achieve 100% autonomy and solar generation!!! ❤

In most countries, electric energy from renewable sources is cheaper than oil or gas, right now.

If you are interest, please read Comparing electricity production costs of renewables to fossil and nuclear power plants in G20 countries to understand the potential of your country and you could reduce climate change and save money!

Australian Tesla Powerwall 2 Review

MikesGear

Late last year, Elon Musk surprised everyone by announcinga new version of Tesla’s less-than-a-year-old Powerwall home battery system, with double the capacity for the same dough….the other players in this industry must have been gnashing their teeth, but bravely soldiered on with the expectation that “it’ll take them forever to deliver”.

Not so – my Powerwall2 was installed yesterday, one of the first in New South Wales, Australia – read on for the blow-by-blow and decide if you also want to be free from power blackouts and 3-figure power bills.

What is a Powerwall anyway?

If you don’t yet know what a Powerwall2 is, read this section – if you do, skip to the next heading.

Simply put, it’s a slim, no-maintenance, weatherproof and near-silent rechargeable Lithium battery system with the front profile of a bar-fridge, located near your power board, paired with a Gateway box that manages power…
