I wish a 6 gpu rig would make Hotale day rate. what a wonderfull world it would be
another cool fantasy for if profitability goes back up is to carry a rig around to cheap hotels and use the ac to cool it and the rig brings in the cost of the hotel. I have a small ish 6 card rig that is about the size of a suitcase that could have brought in 40 dollars a day 2 weeks ago.
Imagine this same concept with higher profitability. You could travel for free. My only question is how would airplanes feel about a mining rig in checked luggage? Customs?
I'd love to set this up in southeast asia and spend about 20 dollars a day on the hotel. 10 on food and live a life of free travel. Just be worried about the rig being stolen.
Carrying your mining rig up and down wont do you any good, I used to do this some years ago because of lack of electricity in my area so I travel to my friend place and get few gpu spoiled in the process, I can see few pill off connection at the back of the graphic cards Imagine this same concept with higher profitability.

I have to agree that stealing very cheap soap, shampoo and towels from hotels is very stupid, and not only will the hotel require you to pay for everything that was stolen and also make you pay a fine. Although it happens that you rent a room for 1-2 days and not on purpose, you take shampoo and toothpaste with you. In general, you won't be able to make money on this, at least I don't think so. In general, the main goal of any hotel is to provide ideal conditions for relaxation. And first of all, each person needs to think not about how to make money staying in a hotel, but how to spend time most pleasantly. In general, it is important to find a good place to stay. For example, historic wedding venues Charleston is the perfect place where you can not only relax, but also learn a lot of interesting things for yourself.
Maybe get a job where you have your own office with airco.
Twice the income.

You're FIRED!
Lol, i remember one of the users seeking help on how to mine with office desktops unnoticed by the end users and so happens that he is the owner.
call it maximizing resources. Maybe get a job where you have your own office with airco.

Given the current air travel environment, wouldn't baggage charges reduce the chance for any profit?
Road trip!
Here's my twist on this quite imaginative idea. So you use an 8 GPU rig that is approaching not being profitable(if you had to pay for power). Instead of staying at hotels/motels stay at Airbnb houses. Message the owner before renting their place to confirm the internet is good, and wired, and tell them "I need the internet for work, it is critical that it works, or I will be forced to find a new place. I build custom computers for people. I have a system I built that I will need to do testing on. I also need to confirm that there will be a spot to plug in my system near where the internet is located. Thanks." Then your not stealing anything. Also, usually nobody comes into your Airbnb for the week so there shouldn't be random maids running about the place, and you should be able to just lock your doors and not worry.
real scheme:
power included storage facilities, viable in cold climates where the storage units are located outside in sub-zero temps year around.
I might know a friend doing this, costs ~150$/month per unit, and each unit has enough power for a 12 gtx 1080 ti rig.

I can power 12 1080ti's for a little less than that at my house and have the convenience of having the rigs at my house using an internet connection that is already there.

This whole thread is rather entertaining. I don't think anyone who can afford to build a $2-4k rig is going to consider living like this. We've got better things to do.
Exactly.
come to my home free electricity just we pay 5 $ fixed every month 
Sure. And then I get shot dead, you keep my rig. How will you dispose of my body? In your country, probably easy.
why i dispose of your body i will sell all your organs
and buy more cards 
You would get kicked out after they get their first bill "wtf how come we are using 4x power now??? roomservice, have u seen something weird when u cleaned the rooms???" Its a fun taught but i dont think its doable in reality

Rather than wifi, tether to your phone or something else.
The amount you make off of rigs would be a lot of work unless you just stayed at the same hotel month long and wven then i dont know i would want to stay at a hotel that you pay 5-10 a night at. 
Exactly ... It's not like you're going to be able to go to a hotel and plug in several rigs (30 gpu's) in one room. Lights out my friend. Lol ... Aside from the fact that I don't think it is morally right, it's just a stupid idea that wouldn't be worth the hassle. Hope it's an all-inclusive resort, because you wouldn't be able to afford to eat and pay to rent the room.
The premise is that you are in a place with a low cost of living. A small, 4 card rig can make 30 USD regardless of where it is plugged in. 30 USD in many places won't be enough to pay for a hotel or eat but if you take that rig to the right place. 30 USD could cover a decent hotel (or airbnb) and 3 meals quite easily.

9 dollars per night and you can eat really amazing meals for 10 dollars at a full service restaurant and 1 dollar for street food. the breakfast buffet at the hilton was 15 and a steak dinner at the other 5 star hotel was 20.
hotel: hanoi tulip- 9
breakfast: street pho: 1
lunch: bahm mi sandwich: 2
dinner: top tripadvisor restaurant: 10
10 Drinks: 5
Total: 27
You could essentially subsidize a basic life. There are much cheaper hotels outside of the city and also sketchy hotels that aren't listed on expedia but are much cheaper and geared towards domestic travelers. Even though a 2.5 star hotel for 9 dollars might seem unappealing, they actually aren't that bad.

I think more than that would reduce profit.

Carrying a riserless rig in suitcases would be very heavy but you could take the case out and just have a motherboard with cards on a light weight surface to lighten the load. I never considered air travel and rigs, the metal detector would go nuts. Im thinking of a traveller on the road with a vehicle. A self funding digital nomad who can get free accommodation and travel by mining in a truck / winnabago with a powerful alternator , batteries, solar power, inverters etc. when travelling and using caravan parks or cheap hotels / motels for free power and recharging. Even better if one uses an electric vehicle. And if the markets keep going up then thats even better. All expenses covered by mining and crypto trading while on a never ending holiday on the road. No rent ,mortgage or land rates to pay with free power and just travelling the country. Obviously your power needs to be expensive in the first place to make this worth while.
