Title: Orbital Mining + ISS hasher

For the fun of it, as it's the mining speculation board wouldn't it be cool to put a miner on the ISS to use if there is excess energy produce by the solar panels? And as more speculative orbital mining does it makes sense? constant light, no atmosphere... Getting the first block solo mined into space... a milestone.

If they did it (and I don't think they ever will) it would be a small maybe a usb stick miner.   There is not a chance they drag a bunch of miners into space.

It's $10,000 per pound to put something into space.  YOU WILL NEVER ROI!!!!

If anything big seems like heat would be big problem.  Cant just make a exhaust easy.
