Bitcoin Forum

Hey all, been in the mining game for a few months and just joining this forum. Just wondering if anyone has experimented with using solar / wind / whatever other renewable power for their miners. Maybe powering a jalapeno or something?

I think all types of gamle with the bitcoins are made to earn BTC but You will not earn it the pople that make those games will rip You off :)

That's a fantastic idea man! It will help reduce the carbon footprint around the world of us miners. Moreover, that's free energy  ;D

yeah my mom's power is pretty renewable ( i don't pay teh bills)

I like this company's products, and they can be used for many other applications as well. http://www.goalzero.com/

Nothing is free, the renewable power cost a lot of money to buy and install

Yea but that's just a one time investment. After that free energy forever!

Unless you have replace expensive batteries every few years  ;)

I would love to invest in a wave powered miner. Perhaps I could not only generate free electricity, but avoid regulation in international waters. The problem is connecting to a fast connection. Unless I put it in the North Atlantic so that I can jack into the TransAtlantic cable with my Leatherman's tool.   8)

I hear ya, i dont pay electric either (part of apt rental agreement) but i know shts gonna hit the fan when I upgrade my 2 jalaps to 2 Antminers and i wanna be prepared or lessen the wall load a little.
