I have a MiniWireless-W-915 (RFM69W 915Mhz) and am trying to figure out how to run it off of widely available batteries such as 2xAAA or CR2032. If I understand, the MiniWireless requires at least 3.3v of input in order to work. Is there any way to reduce the power requirements of this board so that it can run off 3v? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

miniwireless has mcp1703 voltage regulator, so as long as you powering circuit through VCC pin you'll be fine with anything from 2.7 to 16V.

That's the safe way.
But if you're trying to squeeze every µA, you may try to remove MCP1703 completely and power your board directly throug 3V3 pin.
as long as input voltage stays ~3V you should be fine. Running atmega outside it's specs is possible, but when the voltage drops below certain threshold (that varies greatly depending on many factors, including temperature) you'll start experiencing undebuggable issues (memory corruption, freezes etc).
And that's where BOD kicks in. Atmega328p has (configurable) brown out detection that shuts down MCU when input voltage is below 4.3, 2.7 or 1.8V.
I'm not sure which value miniwireless boards are shipped with.

few more random thoughts:
- you can downclock atmega328p to 8MHz with fuses (thus reducing power consumption and minimal voltage required to run stable)
- you could design switchable booster circuit:
1.8V is enough to run this MCU at 8MHz, so you could feed it directly from near-end-of-life battery (especially if it will be in sleep state most of the time [I assume])
MCU could swith such booster to boost voltage up to 3V3 when it's really required (using sensors, radio transmissions)
- consider using 3.6V batteries

Contrast among Prostitute and Escort To a normal of resident on the planet, there comes No 'contrast among escort and whore'. Here you may know there is a barely recognizable difference among escorts and whores; you may get them two to recruit on various reason. Before I will take your thought to Know the Difference among Prostitute and Escort, I would state that them two have their own picture to have drawn colossal number of individuals. In certain faculties, they go to a similar point. Presently let us know why there is "Question" emerged to think about Prostitute and Escort.
