1  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Getting Started. What hardware for 4 Amperes max. on: March 25, 2015, 03:39:28 AM
Still early days for me seeing exactly how much free electricity I have.  At the moment it looks like 1,000 watts forever.  Does that allow for a bigger machine?

Thanks.
   What kind of income would a used  an underclocked SP20    generate   if running 24/7?
  Do I need a computer and wifi ?
If the wifi disconnects does it require manual reconnection?

Just rented a well ventilated storage room and discovered I have 4 amperes of free electricity. Its in Spain. 30 degrees celsius Max in summer and 20 max in winter. Wifi using Alfa Tube 2H or whatever is recommended here. Would get disconnected a few times a day I guess. There is no electric meter and I am allowed to use anything up to the 4 amperes. If it goes over the supply is cut off and I must request at the admin office to have it turned on again. So far, I have seen that a 750 Watt power drill works fine so I have at least that amount. I could visit there a few times a day.
           What equipment can I get? I presume a fan would be necessary in Summer so perhaps I could get a miner capable of a summer and a winter settings.

Thanks. Accordingly I have given up on the idea of mining on a sailboat. Another opportunity has just come up for me and I will start a new topic for that.

Hi. I live on a Sailboat. I am wondering if it would be practical for me to try mining? I have a wind generator going to two 12v leisure batteries and free wifi using Alfa Tube 2H. Gets hot in the Summer where I am. I also have access to electricity I would have to pay for at the Marina. I understand I could not hope to use a powerful machine.
      Would like to try and get something small, perhaps 12v, that would not run too hot and would still provide a little income for me in the long term, especially in the winter when it is cold and perhaps no fan required. Or am I dreaming?
Is there some hardware might work for me? I am not technically minded and it would have to be almost for dummies.

How many watts do you get out of generator? What are you paying for electricity that is not coming from wind?  That will be a big factor.

I think it is a little bit of a dream to be honest hearing it.  I'm guessing noise and heat will be a issue within your boat.  

Dont know the watts of the wind generator. Its old and was on the boat when I got it. SHore power would be at normal rates. I would not be so interested in using much shore power for it. Yes noise and heat would be an issue. Not looking good I guess. Can nothing be done using the little free 12v energy I have and the free wifi? Something quiet that over time generates a tiny amount of bitcoin?
