If you've been having fomo about all the Carrot Castle hype you've been hearing all week, the next two days are ones you won't want to miss! Can't wait to hang with the @decentdao crew and @unlock-protocol today as they unpack what they've been enabling for communities onchain!

Carrot Castle is all week. best part is M-F will have chill mornings with @trigs from 8-10 am, and relaxing late nights on the sofa with @svenh from 10pm to 1am - really hope you have a chance to stop by🫶

Earthships do that usually pretty simple by running culvert or oter tubes out back through the berm. I am toying with sand battery ideas to store excess electricity once my batteries are full. Industrial versions come a long way, but should be simple enough to build myself. Hyper insulated box of sand underground with heating elements... done. I also like decouple ground heat pumps (diy or otherwise) to avoid possible radon and moisture issues in earth tubes. Can be as simple as 1" tubing with glycol attached to a radiator, or hooked up to a heat pump for more efficiency. And before someone says it... yes i'd love to use excess electricity to mine btc and use the heat. But the miners are just too expensive for my personal project. Maybe we could play with that for Coyote Commons some time.

Yes 100% possible. My future design aims to be fully passive solar. In my current dwelling I am during the day, and built a walker stove (Tiny rocket mass cook stove) for the night. Use about 1 cord of wood a year. I do plan to include a similar stove in the future design for those 1-2 weeks a year where the overcast is long enough in the winter. It's all about 3 things. 1. Thermal Mass 2. A way to charge that mass with the right window to mass ration and exposure. 3. Insulation Personally my (currently in redesign) future dwelling will likely be largely underground in a hillside to tap into earth stable temperatures. This alone should make a huge difference.

Whenever you get out here hit me up for sure. Different visions aside, definitely would be worth connecting. I am sure there will be a massive overlap on our projects we can help each other with.

Yea, you are so far south. Snow is prob not an issue. I personally don't think trackers are worth it anymore. Panels are so cheap now. Buy used panels and buy 2x as many if you have the land to put them on, or you basically get 400W bifacials for $80 now. Crazy rally. For me I prefer to combine roof realestate with the panels if appropriate to safe on additional racking (or even tracking). If tracking is needed to maximize output i'd do "virtual tracking" through 3 arrays. One facing south-east, one due south, and one south west. But even that is largely unnecessary in Nm imho since there is just to much sun. My (admittedly relatively small) battery bank of 10kwh is full before noon 90% of the year, and that's with 18x250W used panels mounted flat on the roof... So not ideal conditions at all.

That helps. I'd love to see any public documentation if you have any. As a DAO maxi myself I think communicating the goals is super important. This helps for sure, but i still don't quite get how i could get involved, and why i'd want to. I am facing similar challenges for coyote. Actually my approach is very similar too. Bought 1ac i intend to use to seed the community with. But I am not building my house on it. All the things I am talking about here are not finalized, but exploratory concepts. The aircrete machine I am building will aid coyote. Also it's not supposed to be a Dome. Although that may just be ultra affordable and ultra fast if you do it like aircrete harry up in colorado with double airforms.

Oh, actually I do have one piece of feedback, or rather a clarifying question. Whats the exposure? I assume south with the wall in the first picture for solar gain? I know most designs have the slope of the roof slow to the north. I could never quite understand why. Imho it is more practical to slope south. Especially is solar is involved. Plus it will melt snow (depending on region) for catchment a lot better. Again, these are all just my opinions (hence the overuse of IMHO). Take it for what it's worth.

also just to clarify. I am not meaning to tell you what to do at all. I m simply sharing my opinion. E.g. i never said my methods are more appropriate. I couldn't, since i don't know what your goals are. Just engaging in discourse about building off grid, as this is a passion of mine and I thought you were seeking such. But you clarified you are simply looking for feedback on design (which imho includes construction methods, but I think you mean the layout, correct?). Layout is fine... Nothing to exciting, but practical. Simple is good. ;)
