Airbnb host, Ashley, shared her experience on Tiktok about guests who racked up a $1,500 electric bill by installing an electric car charging station and mining cryptocurrency during their three-week stay. Although the guests left the lodging in excellent condition, their excessive energy use, captured on exterior security cameras when they brought 10 computers, prompted Ashley to implement a new rule against cryptocurrency mining and electric vehicle charging. The incident led to a protracted battle with Airbnb to recoup the extra charges, though guests have admitted their actions, disclosing that they made more than $100,000 from crypto mining. Other Airbnb hosts shared Ashley's sentiments, with many having to implement similar bans.https://news.bitcoin.com/ru/hozyain-airbnb-vvodit-pravilo-net-mayninga-posle-togo-kak-gosti-snyali-ego-zhile-dlya-dobychi-kriptovalyuty/New story on bitcoin.com.
I don't know how they did it in 3 weeks and I don't understand why rent a house with such a profit when you can do it in your house.
turning $1500 in power to $100,000 is pretty much fantasy. It not very likely at all. I doubt they got 100k worth of coins.
Yeah they could have hit a block or two but not very likely.
Really good power to earnings is 10% to 20%
Ie 1500 worth of power makes 7,500 to 15,000
I had a gpu rig making 100 a day at peak in 2021. it burned 2.5kwatts so that is 2.5 x 24 x 21 = 1260 kwatts in 3 weeks and 2100 usd at 20 cent power cost it would be 252
so 252 in power earned 2100 in coin six machines would do
1512 in power and 12600 in coin.
this 12 card rig was 11 rtx a4500 and 1 rtx a5000 gpus
it did 1000-1050 hash for Eth it was the best gpu rig I ever owned.
Most likely it was better than 98% of all the eth rigs ever made.
and it only would turn $252 power into $2100 in coin. in three weeks time
