Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

the lithiums have made impressive strides in energy density, outpacing your Trojans by a fair bit

that said, and I am quite aware of the dangers inherent in H2SO4, if I had one of those power walls it would be installed in an airtight bunker some distance from the dwelling...

when lithium decides to do the bad, it is really bad

Which dangers of sulfuric acid are you talking about specifically?

you ever spilled any?

ever had the hydrogen gas over a battery light up?

trust me, it is nasty stuff, I moved to gelled electrolyte years ago and accepted the lower energy density just to not have it in my life

also when your jeep is upside down on the trail again batteries that dont leak all over the environment are nice.

Not sure where you live but we can get by on 14.5kw/h per day including two fridges, security systems etc.  

We run a 10kw system and it would be a rare day we get less than 15 kWh out of it, seeing as that is 1.5 hours at full load.  30 - 40 kw is more typical, peaking out around 60kw.

That is *very* good data to have, thank you. So on an average day you get about 4 solar hours of light, with a peak of 6 solar hours of light. That matches my observed values here with a much smaller system (~1kw) on a grid-tie/battery reserve.

I've noticed the fridges are the big power pullers (aside from AC, which in a disaster I am not running) not because they pull a lot of juice but because they pretty much always pull it. I should put a Kill-a-watt on the fridge again and see just how much power it pulls in a day, in fact I think I'll do that after measuring the idle current of Antminers (for another thread).

How big is your battery array? Mine currently is 200ah*24v or 4.8kw total. My solar array is about 1.2kw total (single crystal panels so pretty efficient) and my inverter right now is a 700 watt UPS converted to run on external batteries with a Matrix/5000 that can be used if I needed a really high drain load.

If I'm running my house in emergency mode it's about 4kw a day of power used. Which is on the edge for my system: Given I can only generate about 4kw of power a day with the panels I can run for a day with no solar power and even then it would be difficult for me to "catch up" and charge the batteries to 100% with solar alone.

My secret weapon for that is the car: A 1kw 12v battery inverter attached to a car can charge the batteries to full in a couple of hours. Having a hybrid in this case is *really* cool, as you can charge off the hybrid battery and the engine only has to fire up to charge the hybrid pack (which it can do quickly and more efficiently than running 100% just to spin the alternator). A bonus is you have a 10-20 gallon rolling fuel tank that you can also drive (at 40mpg) somewhere to tank up on fuel if needed.

So as long as civilization doesn't completely puke I'm ok. Really. Interesting. Stuff.

This tweet caught my eye today  Third time BTC has experienced a leap year day.



This also means the halving is less than 3 months away

Every time I see this gesture I think “Are they trying to tell me that I am tight @sshole?”
Then I remember that we are WO and that we are all tight @ssholes when it comes to BTC.
HODL.

The Boyz are always fully compliant. No worries.  Criminals use USD.

I expect to break back up over 9k as soon as we are done messing around in this 8500-8900 range.

72 days till the Halvening and all is well. 

Time to start thinking about how you will spend your Halvening. Party plans, etc.

Somebody just necrobumped this post, thought it was worth sharing.

as the title states, I need a 1000 word essay for my 2nd year engineering program, topic is anything to do with economics around the world....


I am willing to pay upto 5 btc for a 2 page ~ 1000 word essay.

I need this by Saturday at the latest.

Posts like these demonstrate just how far BTC has come in 8 years -- this is now a $43,000 essay. Not bad for something I could pump out in about 3 hours.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

3rd day stuck in the  mid $8xxx range... currently $8618USD/$11542CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Still waiting for springtime.

WO is a skeptical whiny pessimistic bunch with most popular prediction being less than 8K before 10K.

ftfy

Skepticism is a mature objective quality. Pessimism is childish.

‘You OK Boomer?’ Gold Sees Biggest Loss Since 2013 as Bitcoin Steadies

Bitcoin (BTC) saw a difficult week as it hit one-month lows, but on gold markets, traders were nursing the biggest daily falls in over seven years.

According to data tracking XAU/USD on Feb. 29, Friday saw the precious metal’s worst 24-hour drop since 2013.

Gold drops 7% in 5 days after coronavirus sell-off
Over the past five days, gold broadly succumbed to the sell-offs affecting traditional markets due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. Between Feb. 24 and Feb. 29, XAU/USD lost a total of 7.3% before a slight rebound.

The fragile performance puts gold roughly on par with “digital gold,” Bitcoin, the weekly losses for which currently stand at around 9%.

the owner of the establishment is 100% enthusiastic, he probably sold on time (2017), on which he built his business ...

I hope the price is not related to Coinmarketcap

It's wonderful that we don't have to rely on the whims of a small group of people to determine the future of bitcoin. If only more people valued freedom.
