Title: Mining on the boat (Internet connection problem) Post by: Odaysailor on February 07, 2017, 12:53:27 AM Hi, I have a sailboat at local marina and they don't charge for electricity at all,but.....we have no internet(!)
I try to find solution to connect S9 13.5 TH/s (1300w) to internet... any ideas: connect laptop to cellphone.... how much data it will use.....maybe something else Regards, Ed Title: Re: Mining on the boat (Internet connection problem) Post by: xhomerx10 on February 07, 2017, 02:23:09 AM Hi, I have a sailboat at local marina and they don't charge for electricity at all,but.....we have no internet(!)

I got this statistic when he changed over from the getwork protocol but I think it's still pretty accurate. Don't you think a 1300 watt heater is a little excessive for a boat? How big is your boat?

If you have free electric, I recommend using Avalon 741, it is more reliable.

I think it will be fine as long as the device is operating since moisture wont condense on a warm miner. Although there are a lot of beach bums by the water... they might steal your miner! Oh the humanity! LOL https://i.imgur.com/9iePEgu.jpg Title: Re: Mining on the boat (Internet connection problem) Post by: unholycactus on February 07, 2017, 09:35:41 PM Seems like a lot of trouble? Do you plan on mining only when you're around?
I guess hot spots could also work, you'll have to find a way to connect it without wires.

It would be alot of trouble to turn it off every single time you get on your boat (I think), and you will still need a place to put it. I don't think it would be smart to put it somewhere in the sun or close to the side of the boat, since sharp temperature changes can damage it.

Might end up costing more than the power cost savings though, unless you can set it up as some sort of a "shared" thing with an existing service, or you have a LOT of free power available to the boat.

But the environment and temperature you also need to consider.
