Title: Older hardware laying around? I'll mine it on free electricity
Post by: CoinMint on November 16, 2014, 05:31:06 AM
If you've got older hardware for mining that you don't even use anymore that it at least 50GH/s and its costing you more than you're making than please send it my way. Maybe if you got burned by BFL and by the time you got your miner the difficulty increased so much that you'll never get back your return. If you have a larger miner maybe I could help by "hosting" your miners and splitting the coin.

How are you getting free electricity if you don't mind me asking?  Where are you located?

i've got around 5kW of old rigging. I very much doubt your 'free' electric will handle the power draw  :-*

Shipping old hardware is not cost effective, so you need to say where you are located.

"free" power is almost always "utilities included" rental units, and oftentimes the way these units are wired up, the landlord has no way to tell how much power each individual unit draws.

but theres still a limit on available outputs: 3-5 15A circuits are common in most 1bdrm units, plus a 220V stove outlet. Might make the place a hell to live in thouh with noise and heat

Sure free power does not mean unlimited too.
Even if the electricity is included in the rent the onwer at sometime will start
to investigate the apartments to see what is wrong and this can be done easyly by shutting donw
switches one by one.
