Title: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: grue on December 21, 2011, 03:15:54 AM 0. (optional) find unoccupied room, relocate mining rigs there
1. place mining rig(s) near window 2. open window 3. instant 20°C drop 4. overclock to the max 5. ??? 6. profit! Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: NothinG on December 21, 2011, 04:52:07 AM Too many steps.
1) Place rig near open window. 2) Overclock to the maxx! 3) ??? 4) Profit! Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: Transisto on December 21, 2011, 06:50:47 AM No need for sub-zero temp for overclocking.
It's about saving on electricity,,, Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: chungenhung on December 21, 2011, 10:08:19 PM still too many steps.
1. put rigs outside 2. profit! Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: DeathAndTaxes on December 21, 2011, 10:19:22 PM still too many steps. 1. put rigs outside 2. profit! Why do you give away your valuable heat? I moved my mining farm to the Antarctica Research station. I collect revenue from both Bitcoins and heat output. :) Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: grue on December 22, 2011, 12:33:01 AM No need for sub-zero temp for overclocking. colder temps = superconductor!It's about saving on electricity,,, Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means...

(optional) find unoccupied room, relocate mining rigs there 1. place mining rig(s) near window 2. open window 3. instant 20°C drop 4. overclock to the max 5. ??? 6. profit! 1 Find frequently used room 2 place mining rig in unused corner 3 instant temperature rise in room 4 turn heat down in house overall now that bitcoin producing heater is spot heating most used room 5 profit through lower heating bill Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: tonto on December 22, 2011, 05:18:07 PM my gaming computer (also my mining computer when not gaming) is in my man-cave (read: masturbatorium), and I must say it gets mighty toasty in there

moved miners outside last week, was nice having them in for winter Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means...

However, overclocked mining is less efficient in terms of hashes per watt, and, if you are wasting the heat output that could be heating your house, is pointless when it costs more in overclocked electricity than is earned in additional bitcoins.

maybe "it's winter in the northern hemisphere, so you know what that means..." would have been a better title http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml certainly says it is NOT winter...

Hmmm... migrating miners? In the future they follow winter around the globe! Title: Re: it's winter, so you know what that means... Post by: Gabi on December 25, 2011, 04:45:01 PM LOL
