Questions & Answers
Q) Why is the audio weird?
A) It's a stereo Microphone on my Sony RX100 III camera, you're probably used to mono audio from most of my other videos.
Q) Why don't you just hook up that AC in your shed to cool it down?
A) Not enough power to run the AC out there with my current setup and even if I could the power required by the AC would eat into my mining profits pretty significantly since the shed isn't insulated and requires 1200+ watts of power.
Q) Your shroud should be tilted down and have mesh to keep animals out
A) I plan to make a second version of this vent (I might even do a video). This was just my first attempt at making something simple in TinkerCad and it's all could manage without going into advanced lessons.

Don't ask questions if you have 'replies' disabled. It prevents me from responding :D
Maybe you can get the heat out by letting the miners exhaust out of the shed by a hole in the back. Then the heat can get out of the shed directly and you can use some pc fans to get fresh cold air in to the shed.
You need more positive airflow, stick another fan blowing air in on the side panel of your shed, you should mod your shed to look like a computer case :)
So I have to send you nukes once again! Damnit!
Funny hash tags
Haha Yes!
Jerry, I love your enthusiasm and genius. I've followed you on CZcams, Twitter and Instagram for a few months now. Garages and power equipment storage sheds are both meant to store/park gasoline driven motorized equipment (cars, lawnmowers. power sprayers, leaf blowers, etc) as well as gas cans. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbon fumes are heavier than air and thereby hang low to the floor unless pulled upwards by other means like; maybe an exhaust fan. Never mind the code violations with your electrical power distribution and the placement of electronic equipment on combustible materials (wood) in a combustible building (wood). Never mind the inadequate ventilation of the shed. That problem will rectify itself when the miners fail to perform when the outside temperature increase with the coming spring weather. Hopefully this is just a temporary setup for you and is scuttled before you have an accident that results in property damage or worse yet, physical injury when the three elements of the fire triangle come together and blow that tool shed up. First and foremost: protect your family by getting those power strips off the floor. The flash point of gasoline goes up with ambient temperature so you really do have a very volatile combination there. The most volatile conditions will probably occur when you first open those doors upon entry. Never mind the flagrant code violations associated with you "Extension Cord" power distribution. Do MIND the bomb you're creating! National Electric Code does NOT allow electric receptacles to be installed below a height of 48" inside a residential garage. Same goes for storage sheds as such. Those power-strip splitters are "ARCING devices, and as such, become your third ingredient of the fire triangle. Get em off the floor.
Mrs kathy is legit and her method works like magic I keep earning every single week with her new strategy
Wow I'm shock someone mentioned and recommended expert Mrs kathy I thought I'm the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade for my self
Yes I'm a living testimony of expert Mrs kathy
Mrs kathy has changed my financial status for the best, all tanks to my aunty who introduced her to me
I think she is the best broker I have ever seen
to be honest jerry i actually want to be like you when i grow up either being a software developer ,computer engineer or something similar thanks for making great vids and ur nerdcave setup is great keep up the awesome work
Bloody hell those miners are loud! It may not be wise, but it'd definitely be interesting to see you water cool one of those to see what it's like. You could use like AIO liquid coolers.
Or, just swap out those fans with some after market ones that'll run cooler and quieter.
+SlavjanA or dump them in oil
+SlavjanA lol that shits not his living room. Spending money on useless shit like fans isnt smart, they are in this shed for a reason. It doesnt matter how loud or warm they get, as long as they stay running.
Jerry, I'm proud of you for releasing this video so soon after your last. I hope you and your family stay healthy so your able to continue giving us the content that we all love. I'm in Vancouver Wa, so it's nice to have such a big youtuber so close. Do you know when you might be down in the Portland area next for an event? I'd love to drop by if you do another fan meet.
I'll be down there for the next PDX LAN
Barnacules Nerdgasm Oh man that's so far away. I live in Portland, I was sad to have missed the event, and you guys
Are you feeling better now? It seems that you have mostly recovered.
Edit: Make sure you use 60fps on all vlogs where the camera is moving. It's *way* smoother than 30fps.
This is my vlogging camera, so everything will be 60fps.
Barnacules Nerdgasm Just realized. Anyways have you fully recovered from your shitty illness?
Barnacules Nerdgasm
pull a Linus and label the vids as 60fps, let the comments saying how nice it is then tell everyone hahaha it was really 30fps uploaded as 60fps.. Greetings you fools welcome to April.
I noticed he was totally out of breath just walking in his yard. Not good. With his health issues anything he gets will be triple worse. And the older he gets the worse it will become.
Loh Jia Hung pun intended?
I'm not a tech person but these vids are pretty entertaining. Great work at explaining so a layman can understand.
Barnacules Nerdgasm here in europe we have 16 amp outlets everywhere around the house, and because we have 240 volts as standerd we can pull 3600watts per outlet, we dont have "costom" 20 amp outlets here in europe, we do have a 380 volt 2 fase "high current powerplug" you can pull over 10kw over those :)
readyrepairs around 0,08€ per kWh where I live (Finland)
readyrepairs I pay 40 cents per kWh here in Denmark :(
xJonathan6405 25 cents a kilowatt here in holland
readyrepairs here in Norway the price is roughly 35 øre (0.35 NOK) or 0,04234895 U.S. dollars per kWh. So it's not expensive at all.
In the UK, we have 13amps at 230 volts - 3000 watts per plug. I thought 240 volts was no longer used?
Hi Jerry, you can cool that shed down, go to your local home supply store and get a "Gable vent", get one that matches the pitch of the roof. Put it at the peak in the wall above the miners. Also pick up a square vent that matches the area of the gable vent. Put that one as low in the shed wall as you can below the miners. You will get a lot of natural air circulation, should help to bring those temps down.
4 real Jerry? 1x (one) 120mm fan to cool the entire shack?
with no dedicated intake...
It has been a pretty rainy weekend, it was pouring today too almost all day.
Here in my garage, just got this new bitcoin mining setup
I was looking for this comment.
same.
The camera your using is very good, was amazed how well it looked even at night. Barnacules Nerdgasm
I wonder if you could get solar panels and basically make your mine work from the solar power only. You dont have it working 24 hours a day but while its working its free.
Wondering also if Moores Law is working with Bitcoin Mining devices, i.e. are they going to be superseeded in 6 months time by something that can mine at twice the rate.
readyrepairs I did think it funny that in these, and other channels', bitcoin mining vids noone is talking about Moores Law.
readyrepairs coins are not found faster. The difficulty goes up or down depending on total hash rate of the network. The inflation of bitcoin is predetermined and does not fluctuate (until the cap is reached) . Which does mean that you need more hardware or more powerful hardware as time passes by to keep the bitcoin income stable. Solar power would be a very good idea to make older hardware operate at profit, as only modern hardware is profitable at normal power costs.
readyrepairs well... Until we solve the energy storage issue or implement a vast smart grid, then yeah these machines are better of running for "no reason"
readyrepairs you see I work from 9 to 5 so my home does not use so much power. The battery's I have are filled within 5 hours of daylight . So my solar array is very inneficient
Siberian Hamster I think you could only get a fraction of the necessary energy to power these monstrous asics unless you have a mega solar station in your back yard :( Solar Panels vary dramatically to sun exposure if you live at the equator 1 square meter can generate about 1000 watts at noon time if you live in New York its closer to an average of 180 watts per panel. In the US a central AC unit averages about 3500 watts. Im guessing that close to what all the units he showed in the video are chewing up. Mining is terribly inefficent. It makes me sad cause this seems like such a great fun thing
cut some square holes and get some slated covered vents a foot under the roof also kudos to you sir you are the only channel that i can see in 1080p 60fps without the stuttering of the other channels
Haha loving the mine man really cool. Electricity here in the UK is ridiculous so this is pretty much a waste of time for us. Are you planning on growing it?
Can't really grow it since I have no more available power, but I enjoy doing the little I can and as long as it's profitable (even a little) I will continue to do it.
Barnacules Nerdgasm cool good luck with your venture man love the channel keep up the great work, if you get a chance check out my channel just starting up but having loads of fun.
Barnacules Nerdgasm 240 a month is good money for just having to maintain a couple computers.
Rip Beginnerstech.
You should tap into that junction box on the side of the house amd run a connection down to that corner. It would be a short trench to dig to hop that over to the shed.... or, you could run above head level over to the shed. It would be a bit more secure and stable. Also heat rises. put a vent in the roof. Print one that includes a raised cone to keep rain out.
Perhaps also consider one fan blowing in and one fan blowing out to promote better airflow
Put a bitcoin logo on the roof so the cops know your not grownin weed:P
He's in Seattle, it would be legal anyways :P
id rather grow the weed... see how ferk'd up you modern ppl r
Hey That's a great Idea for more income. It's already heating the Shed
From what I hear there is more money in weed, seems this whole crypto thing is speculation.
tell the cops to go love themselves
Barnacules Nerdgasm Don't forget to put some sealing material around the shroud, or the water may get in anyways.
I have a better idea for you for making money: have Microsoft sponsor your codegasm series because it popularizes their platform. Potentially much better than exchanging electricity for $8/day. :)
He used to work for microsoft, they arent going to sponsor him for doing what they trained him to do. Plus, do you think microsoft is concerned with popularizing windows any more than it is?
Resengan21 Yes, that's exactly what I think. The fact that they fired him means only that some human resource management script saw that he wasn't progressing into the project management / senior levels and remained a developer for far too long, and was viewed as "un-perspective". But that doesn't mean they hate him. Since he's doing a really good job at presenting .NET development technology on youtube, and they do have promotional things on youtube already from what I've seen and they are all inferior to his channel, I see possibilities for cooperation.
They always want young developers to start using their technology rather than xcode or java, especially since it works on mobile, where they are thin.
Danijel Turina good point. It is a shame they do not personally review all budget cut groups, because good workers like him get fired by a computer/program he helped build.
Resengan21 I know how those corporations think, and they aren't logical, in a sense that they think with a single mind. If he went to reapply there in some other function, for instance if he went to their marketing department and sad, I have a popular youtube channel that does tech in a funny way, I have what, 15 years of experience in Microsoft at coding, and I'm doing this project that attempts to teach young programmers to code on the .NET platform by making youtube videos, I am reasonably sure he could get significant marketing funds, and his years at Microsoft would be the greatest plus.
Also, he might land a job in the marketing dept there. So basically what him being fired means is that they "think" (in a sense of making rules for a SQL lookup in the human resource database) that he's too old to be a coder and if he didn't advance enough by now he probably isn't going to, and he's too old to adapt to the necessary changes in the world of programming. But if he demonstrates that he's good at marketing the .NET platform among the new developers, it's a whole new ballgame, or career.
Danijel Turina
NO just NO that idea sucks because then Barn' wouldn't have time for our vids that we love
hahahha
Also i suggest putting a fillet on the fan shroud between the cylinder and the flat base to stop it from snapping in winter. Will add alot of rigidity :)
Now you should run a secret power extension cord from neighbors house and use it to power miners. Even moar profit :P
Lol :P
hackinblack I did that for powering the whole house
glad to see you back on track jerry with back to back videos.
You rich now
If you put even more miners out into the shed and organize it and make more room then you could run about 3-4 more fans with the shroud on each side like on the door side for some blowing in and run more going out and you could keep that baby cooler and the North Pole!
no bitcoin miner is profitable according to the calculator, the difficulty would have to stay the same or drop for the miners to become profitable
If you pay retail price for them yes.
Thanks for the comment back, i would love to try it but i don't have any connections for cheap mining equipment and if i cant break even no need to even mess with it.
really... Please go away unless you are mining
One thing to consider is how you could reuse the heat produced by those machines. This way you could reduce your costs even further, for example if you got a air source heat pump and put it in there you could have hot water for a fraction of the cost, piping the hot air into the house to reduce heating costs, etc etc. That way your not wasting all that heat by blowing it out the back of the shed.
Okay, but what the fuck does all of this mean for those of us that don't know what the hell bitcoin mining is?
Go watch the original video I talk about I'm the video.
Barnacules Nerdgasm #grammar
AfterWind It was probably auto-cow-wrecked c;
Barnacules Nerdgasm I watched the video and I still have no idea what it is? Is it some type of currency that I can buy stuff on Amazon and other things like that?
Same. Im going to have to look it up. As far as I can tell its fake money you use real money to get then use as real money...so I see no point.
Hey, Jerry Love the shed...
I missed you & your vids also glad my internet is back hopefully for good...
Can't be with out internet because then I have to watch TV & it put me to sleep no joke... Watching You-Tube vids keep me up & I get to move around to do stuff I need to do at home...
why dont you reuse the excess heat of the shed to heat your house?
The best way to get better air flow would be to install a few intake ports low down on the front of the shed. Then add a couple fans evenly spread out at the same hight as the existing fan on the rear. That way you would be in taking the coolest possible air and exhausting the warmest air in the shed. Even better than those small fans would be to install a solar powered roof vent/fan. Just some ideas!
You should put some solar panels on your roof. Who is with me ?
Mount a larger fan higher up towards the ceiling in your shed. You can also use a typical attic fan with louvers.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm deff would like to see an update to this
You should put one of those window AC units in a cut-out in the side of your shed. That'll help keep cool air in there.
Thomas the tank engine not train
In the US he is a train. He goes choo choo on a track and hauls train cars. Lol
In my county is it thomas de trein
Btw im dutch
I live in US and I call it both.
It's English, so it's tank engine you dirty heathens.
If you inverse those cameras you wont have a dead zone between them. Right now your camera angles form a V shape with each camera pointing in its respective direction. Changing them so that the right camera points left and the left points right will eliminate that dead zone because there views will over lap. This is best represented by an X, the angles cover each other where as the V leaves a dead zone.
Are you still mining bitcoins?
looks like you just need more airflow to the structure to keep in the interior ambient down or at least equal to the exterior. I also saw an window AC unit. If you're gonna use that I highly recommend insulation haha. To give you an idea, a 10ft x 10ft cube structure made of OSB can thermally conduct 1,825W of energy with just a one degree delta between the internal and external temperatures. slap some 2in thick polystyrene insulation from home depot on all the interior surfaces and it can bring that down to 32W, nearly 57 times less heat transfer. Available for $0.89/sq ft.
Jerry, out of curiosity, about how much profit do you get per month/year from those babies?
Watch the video and find out :P I specially answer this.
readyrepairs While I agree BitCoin is BS and a waste of electricity which is harming the world, it's no different from "real" currencies. They're no longer backed by gold/diamonds/etc, they're backed by armies.
readyrepairs This website has three lawn care services that accept bitcoin as payment: www.bitpages.co/listing/guide/home-garden/lawn-care
+readyrepairs the bitcoin is backed by the companies that use the bit coin miners services/ computing power. until these companies stop using these services bit coin will always be worth something. secondly you can use bit coin to purchase all manner of things and exchange it for regular currency so the claim that bitcoin is not "universal" is completely unfounded. bit coin is almost exactly like the example of using gold as a currency. can i walk into a shop and buy something with a bar of gold? no. can i walk into a shop and buy something with bit coin? no. does gold have any real uses ? not really. does bit coin ? not really. Gold and bit coin are pretty much useless. things are valued on a value of want or demand. as long as there is demand for external computing power and bit coin then bit coin will retain its value.
+Harliquin Rug b lol.
Today’s price of Bitcoin meant he was mining $20k a week. Lol.
Eight dollars a day from all that equipment? Doesn't sound like its worth it.
It's not for most people, but if you get the hardware cheap/free and your power is a low cost as Barnacules Nerdgasm is, then what have you go to lose? It's money for nothing. But it depends if he's cashing in his Bitcoins or sitting on them in the hope their value goes up. If he's not selling them then the risk becomes greater because he could lose the lot. However the rewards could be huge if Bitcoins get a lot more valuable.... it's all just a gamble at the end of the day, but Jerry is taking small risks.
he gets about $234.12 a month, I would be more then happy with that amount, that's about $2,809.44 a year depending on the cost of bitcoin!
I'd love to get $230 a month to mess around with such badass equipment in my spare time. I'd make a setup just like this in a heartbeat if I got these machines for free like barnacules.
Even if I got all the kit for free and had all the time in the world to play with it, I still couldn't make any money doing it. The cost of power is prohibitively expensive here, and I think that is going to be one of the problems with the adoption of Bitcoin. It's value has to be so high in order to make it worth people mining. But as soon as its value increases, more people mine it and the value drops right back down again. So it never has a chance to get any sort of mainstream adoption. It's a currency that is for the privileged. Those who can afford the high cost now could be laughing in years to come if it ever gets popular. But that only means the rich get richer still, as only the rich can afford to mine. It doesn't really solve any of the problems we have with our existing currencies.
BrainSeepsOut Wait when 1 BTC is valued 10K dollars in a couple of years if it was worth it or not.
Put a few intake fans on the mining shed. You can use dryer vent shrouds to keep rain out. You can notch them for more air flow, especially on exhaust fans. Ridge vents are a must. Heat rises, duh. You can really cool things down by using a fan blowing straight out the ridge vent. Ever had an attic fan? They're nice.
And for heat's sake, space those beasts away from each other! :p
How long until you turn a profit on the mining equipment?
Check the link he put into the description for the bitcoin profitability calculator. Looks like it takes the cost of the miner, gigahash rate, power consumption, your average cost for power, and assumption for the increasing rate of difficulty to compute a payback time. None of the miners right now show any payback if you pay retail price for them. Either there is something wrong with the calc he linked, or none of the current miners will ever turn a profit. I don't know which of those 2 answers is true.
I remember hearing something about how long it took on there show "Tech Talk", but I was kind of zoned out and really didn't catch what he said.
UNLESS u can get it really cheap u need to go ''all in'' or dont bother. it cost alot and will take many months to earn back
To give you a concrete example ***** , going by Jerry's own number of roughly 8 dollars/day, which adds up to around 240 dollars/month he'll need to have the equipment running for 8,333 months before he'll start making a profit.
The antimer S5's are around 500 USD each, so it adds up to something like this:
8 USD/day * 30 days/month = 240 dollars/month
500 * 4 (he had 4 of them visible) = 2000
2000/240= 8,333 months
But since he got them for free, he's making profit right off the bat.
halsoy
2000/240 is only 8.3 months. BUT you also have to factor in the cost of power. It would take a while.
1st :P
Ha cx
Lol :P
What happens if you dont return Amazon Fresh boxes? Do they charge you?
Barnacules Nerdgasm keep uploading more videos man! I check your channel daily sometimes twice or three times a day waiting for a new video
What's a bitcoin?
Barns, you can use a 90° plastic water pipe to avoid water to go into the cooler hole
I pay 4 cents/kW...
Boxi Boxemus The hell, where? I'm paying 17 cents/kW lol
Switzerland. Where I live, we are surrounded by hydroelectric power plants. That means, energy is constantly produced and the expeses to keep everyhting "safe" are quite low, therefore the produced energy extremely cheap. Of course that is not happening in the entire country, as a lot of energy is produced also by nuclear power plants. I guess living in the mountains has some kind of advantages though.
What you might think about is getting an attic vent from the hardware store, and put it in the peak of the shed roof. Then put up a couple higher volume exhaust fans, you can find those at the hardware store or you could get one of those floor fans from Wal-Mart (Jerry-rigging at its finest). That would cool down your shed quite a bit.
Bitcoin mine with free sauna and perforated eardrums lol
Like a Computer you should put two on each side of intake fans and then put a couple Exhaust fans up higher. Will help cool it down a lot more.
I'm here in my garage, with my new labo.. um I mean BitCoin mine
I would put a bead of waterproof silicone around the fan shroud on the out side. It will help keep the osb wall from getting wet and delaminating
the feds prob think you grow weed
tweak114 Its legal were he lives
Lol, i should put some in my shed.
it's a big stone 5 by10 meter shed and it's 50 meters away from my or a neighbors house :D
and it's always nice and cold in there.
“You’re not gonna get rich” - 5 years later his weekly revenue it’s worth 9000$ 😂
Let's hope he kept a few of the coins he mined with his rig!
Nice......! Have yet to get the 3D printer, but it is all coming soon.
Have to do some power draw calculations on the DeskStar and see about the power draw/throughput works out.
You can put a sub panel to your main panel and use that for your bit coin operation It easy and cost effective. and also use a small window unit a/c to condition the space in the shed,That humidity will kill your electronics. Great video man.
My house only has a 200 amp service though and it's all used up, wouldn't the sub panel need more power brought to the house?
That may not always be the case ,you have 200 amps that is limited by a 200amp meter can,wire ,panel box ect. But you are not normally using but a fraction of the capacity.
If you ad up 20 amp breakers till you get to 200 amp total,thats not how it goes.
Some circuits only need 3 or 5 amps,Dryer 30amps A/C normally 30 amps ( 30 amps available usually only 17 to start compressor) It is hard for me to estimate from Illinois,but I would have an electricain do a load calculation,You may find you can do it .
PS,Love your new set up and bit coin stuff.
also flexi duct works great to keep heat out of hydroponics setups, have all ducts go up to a void in the ceiling and expel heat through a side window with n awning easy DIY
I'm loving the bitcoin videos, which is what got me watching your channel in the first place. I hope your tour of the largest bitcoin mining operation video sees the light of day soon! I'm currently trying to grow my little mining operation as i'm able to afford the hardware. I currently get free electricity where I work, with the blessing of my boss to run the equipment. Now I just need some friends like yours to donate more hardware to me!
For anyone who doesn't have a 3D Printer, you could have fabbed up a hood using cardboard wrapped with ductape. Ducttape makes it water proof. Tack it to the wall with hotglue and then get a good semi-permanent bond with silicone.
Very cool, it might be a good idea to design another shroud with a slightly recessed grill to prevent any small animals from getting in there like you said
East tip for cooling: place all your rigs as close to the floor as possible. Let them draw in cool air and let the warm air rise up and out.
Not sure if it was already mentioned or if you've already done it, but I would definitely caulk around the vent cover.
Awsome vid. You never make boring videos. I LOVE YOUR VIDS !!!!!!! Thank you so much !!!
Hey Barnacules, I've never really watched your videos and I don't know why, this was an interesting video and I'm not even into bitcoin or know anything about but it was just neat to see your hardware. Subscribed
at my school we have 4 3d printers and we are aloud to use 2 soft where tinkercad and 123d design i always use tinkercad its cool to see some one else using it and good job on your first print
if you're still running this setup, you should use a couple of 200mm fans to exhaust heat.
That was awesomes. I never did understand the bit coin until I watched your videos on it. Hopefully you get to post the video from your trip to the bit coin mine. Keep up the good work.
HI Barnacules :)
Have you considered making use of the waste heat? - If you have a roof cavity, you could pipe the heat into there and use your existing home ventilation system to make use of it? Just a thought is all!
that's whatt Im talking about, a barnacules video every day
You should get more fans in there, get it setup like a giant case. LOTS OF AIRFLOW
Hey Jerry, you could improve the cooling by changing the fans for better bigger fans. What about a couple of 200mm fans maybe more? depending on the temps.
Also add at least a couple as intake not only exhaust
You should probably add a fan to your mine that brings in fresh air as well. I enjoyed this video. :D
Loving these late night uploads.
Oh cool! I have been watching you a while and never saw that your wife drives a Volt. I've had one of the originals since 2011! awesome. I will run into the same problem if I put those in the garage. LOL
You need a Large filtered attic fan.
flows like 5,000 CFM has filters to keep dust/water away.
you can find them for SUPER cheap.
That's a great idea, let me check out Home Depot next time I'm there and see what they have. I also really need some for my actual house too since the attic space gets way too hot.
Barnacules Nerdgasm they are like $200 new
used like $30
This stuff is pretty cool, I wouldn't mind trying to get into it myself.
Awesome! I must say your camera quality is top notch!
Nice Video!
You probably could put a cabinet without a back against that wall and do a setup where you have fans at the bottom sucking in cold air and a couple fans at the top blowing the hot air out. The cabinet also prevents your equipment from all the dust in the tool shack wich could otherwise become a problem I guess. ;D
Keep up the good work!
Server racks and audio racks are the exact same thing. You can use, or even buy from pro audio dealers, a 4u server case with a pc inside to do work in pro audio situations.
Sounds like a good reason to cut a few exhaust vents in the roof of the shed.
You should put in a dedicated circuit for the Volt.
Your Man-Cave is Formidable.
Greetings from Washougal!
I´m sorry for your bad weather !!
In Germany it´t very sunny
To solve the power issue, you could get some solar panels. They would need to be quite large though and might take a while to pay for themselves. But maybe the Ubiquiti SunMax panels would work.
I know this is an old video, but you should get one of those roof fans. They don't let rain in and will totally clear out the room.
An idea for the exhaust fan(s) is the silverstone ap181 fans, high cfm and not ridiculous noise levels.
would a extractor fan cover with the 3 blades work? so when the fan is on it blows them open but dosent let any rain in
Lol power here costs 3 times as much. Fixing the cooling problem would also help in power consumption. You should drill some holdes beneath the miners and set in some vents made by your 3D printer, then make an chimney above them, that way when the hot air rises up it pulls in the cold air below the miners. you also have less chance of getting water inside the miners when the holes are below them. btw im a roofer
Just tought of a solution for the heat : make an airvent in the roof . Because the hot air is lighter than the cold one , it will go up and out the vent. You could try making a system as the tents have , or a BBQ ...
well thats great, i dont even know what bit coining is (i kinda do now, i looked it up) but thanks for making this vid. Now i know about the wonderful world of bit mining! Thanks
Hey Barnaclues you should also have fans blowing air in as well so you can have cold air coming in :)
Haha your neighbour is a top bloke Jerry!
G'day from Australia!
You could try a dryer vent if the rain still gets in.
I've been Rick Rolled before... Sucks. But it's even worse I realized I was doing it to myself. Damn you Pineapple.
1080p60 for a vlog video that deserves a thumb up. And just to ask how much did you have to bribe your neighbor to have that miner in his garage?
I have NO clue what BitCoins are other than that its basically money, but I still somehow enjoyed this video :D
Do these boot back up and start mining automatically if the power is pulled? Between 7pm and 7am, power is 6 cents per KwH, and on weekends, during the week its 14 cents however, so could I just put it all on a timer and forget about it?
You could probably get a lot of that heat out by just having a vent on the near apex of the roof. The hot air the mines produces will rise and force itself out. And maybe one of those exhaust fans from bathrooms stepped down Some volts, cause you don't need it going full blast
Honda civic exhaust was legit. 3d diy for win
