What would happen if someone tried to play video games on a bitcoin farm?
Not too bright, are you
Your monitor would explode from the sheer number of FPS.
>>261467320
Well if they were 290xs like I have..Not alot because the thing would blackscreen every time you run a game.

>gain 200$ per month

All those video cards do not communicate with each other directly.
The cpu and ethernet handles communication. You see all those cables? That's the only reason why each rack of gpus know that there are other cards nearby.
You would need literally 75 monitors to get anything out of it.

get solar panels hooked up then your just printing money

Or skip the stupid middleman and simply sell the power back to the grid.
>have bitcoin farm
>get raided by FBI because they think you are running a CP server farm due to your thermal / electrical thumb print.
>>261469342
I think they generally assume you are growing pot before they think you're running a CP server.
>>261468742
solar panels are just getting cheaper and cheaper by the day bro

You might as well set it up in a walk-in freezer.

>solar panels
The cheapest 300 watt (the average load of a mid range gaming desktop) solar panel I've been able to find is about $250, the set up pictured is using closer to 10,000 watts, which would run you about $8000. Keep in mind, this set up only work in the daylight, when the sky is clear, and the sun isn't at a particularly acute angle to the panels.
>>261470845
>2/10
I think you mean 1/5. Reduce your fucking fractions, man.
>>261471127
I power my whole house on solar and sell the excess.
Trust me, it's worth it.
>>261471346
pics + timestamp or bullshit
>>261471127
I don't know if that's 100% accurate. Back in January I helped install about $3000 worth of solar panels onto my family's two story, four bedroom house, and it reduced our monthly electric bill by a shit-ton. And we don't live in a particularly sunny area, either.
>>261470845
so you are telling me, that a $8000-10000 solar panel investment is worth it when you be mining $200 a month. Okay.
>>261471661
>by a shit-ton
Real scientific measurements you've got there.
I highly doubt their house is also running 10,000 watts of gpu.
I don't get something about solar energy. I always hear shit like
>b-but you won't have electricity at night!!
You're telling me that these fucking panels sucking up solar energy all fucking day have no way of storing excess energy to use at night?
>>261471641
Not the dude your talking to but tons of people do that state-side.
It's super common here in Arizona.

its a shame you spend all that money on a scam
>>261472079
I know people do it, I've been aware of people selling back to the grid since the 90's. But this is 4chan, where everything is suspect.
>Speculating on currency instead of stocks
>>261471127
What you're using the energy for doesn't really matter. No matter how you break it down, you're either paying monthly for your kWh or generating it from an initial investment.
The fact that you're using it to generate bitcoins doesn't mean anything special, it's all opportunity cost. Just using it to power an average home means a significant savings/profit on a monthly electric bill, that extra money can go to whatever you want.
>>261472045
They absolutely do. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know shit.
That said, you don't want to use them as a full-on alternative to the grid. It's better as a supplement.
Worst case scenario, you don't get a lot of sun that week, your electric bill is still a tiny fraction of what it would be on the grid alone. Best case scenario, you get a shit-ton, and sell it back to them. It all evens out.
>>261472535
>Just using it to power an average home means a significant savings/profit on a monthly electric bill, that extra money can go to whatever you want.
So why mine for bitcoins at that point?
>>261472490

gee it only beats every other investment possibility out there, but yeah you're right, 200/mo is WAY too low
>>261472045
Not without a battery you shitlord
>>261472045
I wonder whats more efficient, solar or wind for personal use? I've seen some houses with them and they seem pretty simple.
>>261472846
it would take you 10 years to start making profit, I am not saying its bad but there are lot better investments you can do with that amount then mining an internet currency,
>>261473045
>I wonder whats more efficient, solar or wind for personal use?
Definitely solar.
>>261472739
You don't really need to, but you could, it's a savings either way. Solar is a much more reliable investment than bitcoin though.
>>261472845
> investing in a known scam
> not just investing in the stock market and buying any material object you want
keep believing the delusion
>these aspies answering the question sincerely
>>261473071
Assuming it costs 8000 to set up, it's 40 months, or 3.3 years, till you've made back all your initial investment which isn't bad at all. Of course, this assumes you never have to perform maintenance, replace hardware or panels or pay taxes.

SOLAR FREAKING ROADS
>>261472910
you can't run a solar setup without a regulator and some batteries dumbass.
>>261468526
Solar panels already print money idiot.
Infact solar panels are a MUCH better investment than bitcoins now.
>live in vegas

>could even get them installed little cheap since I know people who work in installations from my construction days in highschool and after.

ayyy lmao
>>261473596
A lot of states have tax exemptions and other incentives for installing solar panels too.
I live in Oregon, and only ended up paying just shy of 3000 for about 10,000 worth of panels. It's great.
>>261473596
That 8000 dollars is just the solar panels, you're going to need batteries for when the sun goes down, you also need to invest in the hardware, which pictured costs upwards of 10,000. Not to mention all the cables and wiring that needs to be done in order to set this investment up.
>>261467320
It would be extremely painful.
>>261473921
It's never too late anon.
No seriously, if I had property I'd cover my entire house with solar panels. Get on that shit.
>>261472490
What's the difference?
>>261473761
On paper, a great idea.
In execution, not so hot.
>>261474120
It's a big rig.
>>261473921
I'm not sure if they still do it, but you could claim tax deductions for having a bunch of solar panels on your house.
I'm pretty sure they don't run windows soo... nothing
>>261474120
For you
>>261474267
It's shit on paper, a shit idea
wouldn't even get to execution
It's only good idea when you shout it and don't think about how impossibly stupid it is. Like this

Storing energy is extremely hard and expensive.
You could store it all of you wanted to, but that would mean having a basement full of connected batteries, which then means lods of emone for it all.
>>261473045

Is this even a thing?
What if someone lived in a giant self-powered windmill home?

its better to fuckoff inna woods, find a downhill stream, and then pipe that shit into a hobo turbine for your electricity.
