Mining for Noobs - stealing electricity 101

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Has anyone considered using an existing business with computers to mine (in non business hours) and paying them for the electricity consumption (+interest)? Do you think people would take up this offer?

You'd need to pay them for more than electricity consumption to get them to move off native reticence.

What kind of business are you thinking of that has lots of machines with modern GPUs? I don't think you could just go down to the local cube farm.

A VR game station (or other gaming places)? Besides, there are CPU mined coins that don't require GPUs.
Problem is convincing them. I asked some pals but they didn't seem interested.

got 14 batteries from costco, use them to charge my tiny house on wheels in Idaho, when power is low I take 7 of them to the recharging station in Boise and free power ...... Global warming isn't that bad if you know how to use it.. . ..
 
I feel like anyone mining crypto with the thought of hitting it big after the year 2013 is [current year - 2013] years too late.

You can mine profitably still but unless you are speculative mining random low cap shitcoins (and that gamble pays off) you'll be running tight margins.
 
i havent bothered reading the rest of the thread because we are all cyptards, but i would like to ask the Monero miners if any of them use Gupax? its a nice front end that makes hooking up with p2pool easy, i have a lot of spare machines and ive been using Gupax on all of them with next to no hiccups,

If you're going to do just RandomX, just build XMRig yourself w/ donations disabled. Literally anything else is going to cut into your mining time per hour to 'support' the miner developer.
