Ich brauche mal euer Schwarmwissen:
Ich versuche einen Bitaxe Gamma 602 BM1379 v2.14.0 an einer Solar-Insel zu betreiben und scheitere aktuell an der stabilen 5V-Versorgung.
Getestet habe ich bisher:
* Bauer DC-DC 8–36V auf 5V, 10A / 50W
* Hailege DC-DC einstellbar, 5A / 75W
Beide führen beim Bitaxe zu „Power Fault“, selbst wenn ich den Miner auf Minimum konfiguriere. Irgendwie liefern die nicht genug Strom bzw. die Spannung fällt ab und der Axe bricht ab.
Hat jemand von euch einen Bitaxe erfolgreich an Akku/Solar/DC-Quelle laufen und kann eine konkrete 5V-Lösung empfehlen?
Ich tagge vorsichtig @Einundzwanzig @NetDiver und @Sirius Lightning, weil ihr vielleicht damit Erfahrung habt oder mich weiterrouten könnt.
Hinweise oder Reposts wären super. Danke

Changing my username in nym now changes only the username in nostr and v.v.
Looks good

No problem. Nothing important here.
Restoring with Damus did not change the images, primal did.

Used nsec in nym, got random username.
Changed this in nym to “Alf”
Back in Damus and primal my images, description and lighting address were overwritten / gone

2025-09-06 10:42:24 CEST

Seems like using your nsec in #nym overwrites your nostr profile

Ok. Short review:
Getting the emojis out via Damus or primal iOS app did not work for me.
Getting them via web page primal would have worked but they were already taken.
Has anybody else the same issues or is it layer8 with me?

2025-04-06 16:59:25 CEST

Already claimed. Somebody is faster than me

First, on Damus, i did not receive your reply. Now on primal I get it but both I cannot “copy” the emoji so I can redeem. All on iPhone

(3) and now for the slightly complicated part: how to talk lighting…
First try: web hook for lnurlp. Ok, but I don’t want the need of opening anything (like a Webserver) to provide a target for the hook.
Second thought: talk via Rest to my lnd. Listen to Invoices (macaroons…)
[rest because: grpc on pico may be a problem?]
Problem: you need an open lnd running.
Wish: something more versatile. Probably something with lnbits.

(2) proof of concept was not a big deal. Having a small flask providing a “button” to trigger the coin switch was easy. Currently I am stuck in making it foolproof and easy configurable (via web interface)

(1) I chose a raspberry pi pico w. Because I think I am not too bad in python and because it is cheap, small and available.
To use the native 12V board voltage of our pinball I am using a step down converter. To switch the 12V coin trigger with the 3.3V output of the pico I decided to use a ULN2003 IC.
This setup seems to work. Despite of my inability to solder it in any presentable manner.
Check

2023-03-11 18:58:56 CET

And all this to hopefully be reproducible, configurable and usable by “noobs”

2023-03-11 18:58:31 CET

Three main tasks:
(1) Build some hardware to have a connection between the coin interface and the internet
(2) code some service on the hardware to trigger a switch
(3) decide how to interfere with the lighting network

2023-03-11 18:57:46 CET

But to get some kind of lighting payments for our JJP POTC to orangepill my colleagues seems to be reason enough to leave old paths and learn some new skills.

2023-03-11 18:56:14 CET

First: I am more a coder than a hardware guy. To be honest, I never did anything more than connect a battery to a lightbulb and I am really bad at soldering.

2023-03-11 18:55:29 CET

Ok, time to create some content and report on my journey teaching our pinball machine some lightning ⚡️
