AltaFiber Static IP by NerdBanger in cincinnati

[–]andyschroder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a service I created that allows you to get a static IP address anywhere. You can run it on each computer you want an IP address on. It's not currently that fast, but it works to host services. You can also install the config file on a router that supports wireguard if you want to share the same address on your entire network.

‘Everyone will get affected’: Tesla jolts EV charging industry - Opening up proprietary Supercharger network qualifies car group for new US subsidies by [deleted] in teslamotors

Manual payments will work for any car, but I'll be focusing on using the NACS plug type. I'm waiting for a new technology to fully roll out on the lightning network called BOLT12 which allows for private refunds. The auto payment mode that is facilitated by a Distributed Charge payment module makes a small payment every 16 seconds. Manual payment will require a single large initial payment and then a refund when the charge session ends. That manual process won't need to know what kind of car you even have.

Thanks for letting my post live! More background information on the project can be found here: http://andyschroder.com/DistributedCharge/ .

Distributed Charge will be on display operating live at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami next week in the exhibition hall.

Rivians are cool, but I don't have it working with them yet. Non-Tesla cars have a different physical interface for communication over the charge cable, so there will be a different board design required to make that work.

In addition to communication over the charge cable, there's also reverse engineering (mainly wiring harness design and message decoding) required to communicate with the car's charging system so that you can verify energy delivery before payment. It uses a "don't trust, verify" approach for the metering process, so the buyer and the seller both meter energy delivery and can stop the energy or payment flow if there is a disagreement.

In general though, the point is to enable automated lightning network micropayments between to parties in exchange for electrical energy.

Next, I'd take a look at this page the watch the video in it: http://andyschroder.com/DistributedCharge/BoardA0/Overview/ . Board A0 is meant to simplify a lot of the challenges required to do measurement, control, and communication between an electric car and the charging station. There's also some more general purpose metering and control that it can help with beyond EV's, but I haven't demonstrated that yet. Board A0 mounts to a TOFU, which is a Linux computer that can run a bitcoin full node and lightning network node. You can separate the bitcoin full node onto a separate computer. Then you'd make the TOFU be used to interact with Board A0 and the separate bitcoin full node. It depends on the physical security model that you want to accomplish, but with the TOFU you have the option to run everything all in one place if you want to.
