Bitcoin Forum

for example how many hamsters on wheels do you need to create enough electricity to mine BTC or in general can we put animals into safe physical labor environment to start producing coins..

I think you've got the wrong idea about mining farms.

You need atleast a waterbuffalo sized animal to be able to mine bitcoin these days. Preferably an elephant. Hamsters... sheesh, maybe back in 2010.

There's a reason people drive cars instead of riding horses.  Animals are very unreliable source of energy which cost more to feed than energy you get out of them.  As long as there's no charge on the human health toll which carbon based fuels cause they'll continue to be the cheapest form of electricity. 

Haha this is good!   :D  Electric Eels in a whole swimming and a way to extract and store electricity.  Take some pictures of it

What the hell are you thinking mate using animals to produce electricity for your mining site, are you serious? You want to used hamster to run on the wheel 24 hrs to sustain the electricity needs of your site. I do not not think this is a good idea animals need to be love and treat as your family not to be a robot like what you thinking.

Hahaha this is hilarious! and yes this guy has the wrong idea about mining a bitcoin. Well, You can check on youtube and gather some information from this forum what does Bitcoin Mining really is. You can also check what is really needed in mining a Bitcoin not just electricity.

Hahaha,  ;D ;D Seriously dude this is hilarious! I think you have the wrong idea about mining a bitcoin.First, you must find what is mining and how it works.Simply search it on youtube.  :) Yes, electricity is an essential for mining but you will realize it is not the only fact of mining.

It will probably make you lose money in the end because u can't make an animal run for 24/7 so you need  shift animals like in every 8 hours. This makes you need more animals. In addition to that, you need to supply them with food and food=money so you need to spend money on animals to keep the producing electricity for your miners. At last miners consume a crazy amount of electricity so you need tons of animals.To sum up, it is a very stupid idea and you will end up with torturing animals+lossing money so just go with mains electricity.

Hamsters would need mining equipment such as a helmet and a pickaxe.

The best reply ever to such a query :D I think he even has a possible confusion regarding "Ant"miners too.

Buy the newest HamsterMiner model and you are good to go!  :)

Seriously though, what is this thread? I thought I have seen everything, but no.  :D

Feeding that much hamsters will cost you a lot more than using city electric.

The title of this thread has given me an idea. Proof of Animal Work -  the new and first  non anthropogenic crypto. Hmmmm...

Lol hahahaha this one is so funny

good one!

Ha-ha-ha! I have just imagined how millions of poor humsters are running. LOL. Hope it was just a joke.

It will be more realistic to grow animals by traditional methods and then to process them for sausage. The production of elecricity with the help of hamsters does not make sense.

LOL. Let animals do what they want :)

for sure)) my dog became a millionaire and left me a month ago

yes get some monkeys and they can run tour bitcoin mining farm. No need to pay them, just some banana or apples. But respect them or they might beat you with their big arms. I suggest giving them some BTC options if you go this route.

Big number of hamsters, can produce you a good electricity as I believe, unless you are not electrician or an engineer, its hard to compansate.

For me Animals Can't Mine Bitcoin

Of corse , who mine Dogecoins?  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Usually animals are quite efficient in converting food into kinetic energy. So it might actually work.

Hamsters can run in the wheel and produce electricity for mining! :D

Well I don't think animals can mine bitcoin.

Yes!....you and me is a kind of animals he he he...

smoke a little and they will

I think he is on to something here, he is taking about making the hamsters run a device that will provide electricity to power the miners to mine the bitcoins, this could work except that the hamsters are going to tire and thats the problem because we need the miners to work non stop.

even animals do the mining, just like you said the hamster thing, but still we as human setup the environment first to get it works

haha, no bro, animals cannot mine  bitcoin you got it wrong.

I don't know is it made to be funny, but OP is hilarious
If I didn't understand, sorry

:D

funny how people are replying with different things about it
thanks for the laugh

i would love a llama that would mine some bitcoin for me :D

what earth on you talking about? for member account like you asking this question is Hillarious..  ;D ;D ;D

What the hell did i just read???? Seriously???

Your absolutely right, who need and antminer, when you can get a hamsterminer! Half the watts, double the hashes and free hamster babies, just need the right pair  ;D

Well humans are animals, Just FYI

The idea of hamsters being able to mine is ridiculous and by making hamsters always running on wheels it is an act of torture for hamsters

There's a reason people drive cars instead of riding horses.  Animals are very unreliable source of energy which cost more to feed than energy you get out of them.  As long as there's no charge on the human health toll which carbon based fuels cause they'll continue to be the cheapest form of electricity. 

LoL, damn, my friends was talking about this a few weeks ago  :D :D :D
Will this be an animal abuse?

soon you can mine animals

why not put urself on a threadmill and run for electricity

Only for electricity, in which case yes, electric eels are your best shot :)

Hey, let's start with mining cats on the Ethereum smart contract network.

With the aid of electricity, animals can mine bitcoin

Poor hamsters.. can't imagine how tiring is it to live to run all day then die of fatigue or starvation.

even owl can mine bitcoin

it is impossible to mine bitcoint. that's a very impossible thing. animals have no sense like humans, they have only instinct. especially if we enter in farum bitcoint, there is google recaptha which detects the operator is human or not. no animal can do it. so it is unquestionable because it is very impossible for mined bitcoint animals.

I don't thik so!

Only computers can mine bitcoins
But technically everyone is able to do it

I dont know much about what is done and what can be done because i am a newbie

maybe you are too far away to mine bitcoin. but did not rule out that could happen.

I dont think they can do that. they are just animals how can do so -_-

if you are planning to tame an animal to draw electricity for your project then forget your profit as you will need more cash for them

Yea we are the animals of this world and we are mining bitcoins so it is possible

Nice idea anyways. I thin i will buying some hamsters to lower the mining electricity cost
