Hey i just started using the app and i already love it, but one suggestion is to be able to scan a QR code to input your wallet address.

I was thinking about phase-change cooling, but that would get too hot.

I was considering grabbing something larger, but this is just to give myself something to do and waste my time. There was nothing i could possibly learn or gain, and i would be wasting money on the whole system, but yolo. #richprivlage #lotsofmoney #loaded #jkimpoor

I already did all the math for all the heat dissipation and math stuff and it would do nothing, but i just want this to look cool and have fun messing around. But this is just one of those, screw it i'm bored and its 2 in the morning projects.

Exactly, i just need to waste my time. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for doing this.

Who wants to hear the worst idea possible? Still reading... your loss. This is the basis, in my basement i noticed that the floor stayed pretty cool, and my miner got a little warm. I was thinking about putting a large water block against the concrete to cool the water coming from my u2. Yes i know this will never be profitable, and water cooling it is absolutely idiotic. But i figured that if i boxed off the radiator and threw some fittings on there it would be a fun project to waste my time and burn my wallet. Any suggestions on how to waste my time and probably soak my u2.

Ok ill admit i might have been a bit unfair since i don't have one, and after stepping back and taking a wider look i was a bit harsh. so let me regret my rash comment and try to rephrase. I think the mining controller isn't useful because There are a lot of miners out there. Now i cant blame them for encouraging their own products, but it seems unwise to not include wider range of support, even if it's just the U1 and 2. I also find advertising it locked in solo mode (from what i have seen) a bad move because for a product that is (i'm assuming) marketed towards people just starting, and many of them might not be willing to configure it. It seems some people seem to want a device that can be plunged in and left, which doesn't exist yet. Although, most of these issues can be fixed with research and tinkering, and pose no problem to a more experienced miner. As for the unfinished features, i have to give them props for trying to fit as much as they can, like more companies should. But it seems that some of these things ,like the mining controller could have been improved from a bit more work. This miner might work for other people, but for me it wouldn't be worth it. I enjoy tinkering with my miners, and ill keep trying to find a reason to water cool them, even if it's just for the coolness factor. I find this worth the pocket change i lose a year. But i have no idea what i'm talking about, i'm just some guy messing around trying to put water blocks on things that already run cold.

I feel like we need miners like this, just for fun. Like with some USB asic miners you know that you will be losing money from the start, BUT WHO CARES! For me bitcoin mining isn't about making thousands or becoming rich. Its more about the fun of it, being able to say you mine bitcoin, and just messing around with the things.
Although something like this is a bit ridiculous. Its locked into solo mode, the mining controller sucks, and seems unfinished. They tried to cram too much into this little thing, and seriously, it only supports the U3. Maybe i would consider this later in time when it has been refined. But for now, ill stick to losing money with my U2.
