Tell them to submit to ominous hum maxxing.

The Canaan Avalon Nanos are way more powerful (like 4-5x) and way quieter. I have 3 of them running on medium and I think they make a similar range of noise to the one bitaxe, if not maybe a little less. Also, we play ambient music a lot. It covers up the hum.

Got one of those beauties recently! Very quiet indeed - was gonna set it up under the desk at my office as a “foot warmer” and enjoy the free electricity.

My only concern with doing that, however, is privacy. I can pretend it’s not a Bitcoin miner but wouldn’t the WiFi network see mining activity? I doubt there’s a way to enable a vpn between the Avalon and the company WiFi network. Maybe doesn’t matter, but also something I want to know before I move forward lol

I’m not sure about the wifi “seeing” the bitcoin mining activity. I feel like that shouldn’t be any issue, I think the bigger way it could be detected is from energy usage but that also shouldn’t be an issue with one machine.

Wifi dongle to hotspot phone?

That’s an idea. At least a good starting point, bc when I leave for the night it would lose connectivity 🤔
