Lottery Project

A Bitcoin mining experiment using a Bitaxe Lottery Miner (1.2TH/s) connected to an Antminer S21PRO with BM1370 chip. The system consumes approximately 16W of power.

Our plan is to install Sun Ed solar panels and an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) for power management, combined with LifePO4 batteries for energy storage. Running some experiments in the back yard to learn about solar power and renewable energy integration with cryptocurrency mining.

Progress

Parts:

  • Five 270w Sun Ed panels obtained ;)
  • Victron MPPT charger received
  • Ordered battery for 18 feb 2026 delivery
  • Adjustable racks arriving 10 feb 2026

The Bitaxe lottery miner has arrived and is currently installed on utility power.

Best ever share: 293.77 M

At our hashrate of 1-1.2 TH/s, we have about a 0.005% chance of solving a block in the next year. We need all the luck in the world!

I build software, hardware, and sometimes weird combinations of the two.
