The Jua Kali Miner by @GridlessCompute runs old ASIC hashboards off 12V solar.
When batteries are full and the mill isn't running, the system quietly converts excess energy into Bitcoin.
Solar thinks it's filling another battery. It kind of is.

Today we’re announcing a developer release of the Jua Kali Miner - an open source project that allows farmers and small industries to make use of their excess solar energy to mine Bitcoin.
With a live demo at #abc25
At the heart of it, there are real people benefiting from Bitcoin as a decentralized global currency. That’s the mission that drives everything we do.
Looking back, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come building this from the ground up and scaling it into something meaningful. The impact is real, and it reminds us why this work matters.
Now, our focus is on taking these results even further, bringing the same opportunities to communities in other parts of the world.

⚡ Cooling & running miners in Africa
🔧 Repair & innovation without spare parts
From Pollution to Power: Oil companies drill for oil, but with it comes natural gas often flared into the air. That flare? It’s toxic, wasteful, and devastating for the environment, especially for the communities living nearby.
At NRG Bloom, we do things differently.
🚫 Instead of flaring, we capture that natural gas
⚡ We redirect it into a genset that powers both:
🧠 Our Bitcoin mining containers
🏘️ And energy access for the local community
This is how we turn wasted energy into local opportunity.
This is the future of mining grounded in climate justice, infrastructure, and community empowerment.

“Africa is a very rich country, but we have stranded brains” - Victor Ncube speaking on the imbalance and lack of optimization on use of resources in the continent.
We are proud to announce the release of our landmark report, "Bitcoin Mining in Africa: Powering a New Era (2025–2030)". This is your essential guide to understanding how Africa is charting a more responsible, sustainable, and profoundly renewable path for Bitcoin mining.
A special and heartfelt thank you to @DSBatten for his invaluable contributions to this report and his tireless work across the Bitcoin mining sector.
A special thankyou too to @nduku_jay and @nemozen for their invaluable contributions to this report and the overall African Bitcoin Mining sector.
In Bitcoin mining, survival comes down to margins and margins come down to energy costs.
While most miners race to secure ever-cheaper electricity contracts, Gridless takes a different route:
