I started #mining!! 🧡

It's an old #Bitmain S9. It's wildly inefficient.

It produces about 9T/h at 700

Watts.

I pay about 10 times more for electricity, than I get in #Bitcoin. But I figure like this; I believe the sats I mine will go up 15 times in the coming 5 years. So they are still cheap! 🤣

Main reason tho: contribute to the network.

Good for heating your home tho

It really is, yea! I have it running in my attic.

And it keeps the attic on a steady 22°C by itself. It's about 35 square meters.

But the noise, tho 😬😬. I'm figuring out a way to get the heat down stairs, but keep the noise upstairs 😂

Ideas?

Quiet fans are the primary means

Move it to where you don't spend time and duct the heat in a thermally insulated pipe.

Disclaimer: May involve DIY and cutting holes

Try to get some of those quiet noctua fans. It's hell of a difference in noise. Trust me. #bitcoin

Noted... I ordered 2 more S9's. I got bit.

Now I need ways to get noise down.

Use the generated heat for things.

I started about a half year ago with a S19 95Th. As it only runs when I have solar energy left, it runs with profit.

Anyhow, if I had bought BTC for these 1,5k they would now be worth more than 3k. I agree, hobbies cost money😂

Haha, yeah.

I'm looking into solar panels solely to mine BTC 🤣.
