I'm a college student living in the dorms, running a small mining operation. Thing is, electricity costs are already paid through student fees, so I'm pretty much making pure profit. OH YEAH.

Anyone else doing this? Even bitcoin plus?

I'm doing exactly this and getting my money's worth for this education. It's gotten some questions as it has a ghetto-looking homemade frame.

Has anybody considered renting a weekly dive motel room for about $150/wk with all utilities paid. Fire up the rig and crank up the air. Watch free cable and enjoy free internet. This is not a joke.

Then the maid comes in and sees some sort of suspicious contraption and calls the manager.

I rent a business office in the heart of Silicon Valley for a tad over $200 a month and mine at the admittedly pathetic rate of about 3200 MH/s, so it's not really generating a profit yet, but merely pays the rent and the DSL. I have, however, ordered several BFL singles in order to finally achieve a positive cash flow.

You can request no maid service.

When did you purchase?  Please post a pic once you receive.  I'm looking forward to someone actually owning one (I know that one guy got one on loan).  Now it's time to see someone actually receive one they purchased!

This op is great.  Takes me back a few decades.   And people wonder why Bitcoin won't be denied.

The first one about 4 to 6 weeks ago.  Roll Eyes
But seriously, about 5 weeks ago.
I have no idea whether that puts me in the first, second, or third batch... Embarrassed
