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)

The Genesis Workshop 1.0, organized by Open Source Guild(OSGuild), we brought hands-on Bitcoin mining education to Mauritius 🇲🇺 university students, connecting them with real open source infrastructure.
@dzeg5 traveled all the way from Kenya 🇰🇪 to introduce participants to Bitcoin mining, Stratum V2,Bitaxe Gamma and Mujina the open-source, Linux-based mining firmware developed through the @256FOUNDATION open-source mining initiative.
Using Bitaxe Gamma kits from @SoloSatoshi, participants got to explore mining hardware firsthand. Some students even mined Bitcoin for the first time, turning technical concepts into a real experience.
This is what OSGuild,Genesis Workshop is about: creating opportunities for young developers to learn, experiment, and become contributors to the global Bitcoin open-source ecosystem.
From Kenya 🇰🇪 to Mauritius 🇲🇺, we're building connections, growing communities, and bringing open-source Bitcoin mining to the tropical island of Mauritius 🇲🇺.
Thank you to @btrustteam for supporting The Genesis Workshop 1.0.
The journey has started here in Mauritius.

Africa both has more electricity than its power lines and markets can deliver, and less electricity than its people need.
Two different problems.

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.
