At the moment with mining decentralization at the heart of all interests, internet service providers compete with intelligence to offer practical, ecological and revolutionary solutions. Challenge taken up! A Bitcoin node can now be operated with just three pieces of equipment: Starlink, an energy station and a solar panel.

This is no longer a myth! Bitcoin enthusiasts can now run Bitcoin nodes in the most remote areas. In her tweet, one of the users said that he was very happy with his new device which was tested during a camping trip in Central Europe. He used it to make a payment on Lightning Network.
To run a bitcoin node, it used:
- Starlink device,
- EcoFlow brand power generation equipment
- solar panel.
The operating principle of this revolutionary system is simple: Starlink connects a Bitcoin node to the Bitcoin network. The Starlink satellite fleet is powered by solar energy produced by the panel as well as EcoFlow equipment.
The node represents an integral part of the Bitcoin network. It validates all transactions made with this cryptocurrency. More specifically, the node checks all Bitcoin transactions for compliance. This then guarantees their reliability.
Starlink Could Revolutionize Bitcoin Mining
Created by Elon Musk, Starlink has a specific goal: to reach parts of the world where cheap energy and internet access are lacking. To do this, the company is offering a broadband Internet system that will cover Africa, South Asia and East Asia in particular. All the details are explained in this article.
Note that installing a Starlink access point requires an average budget of $600. For the monthly subscription, an additional $3,000 will be required. Costs that will be quickly amortized thanks to the income generated from mining bitcoins.
For some, such a BTC node setup is prohibitively expensive. For others, it is a practical and ecological solution. In any case, it should be given special attention.
