If you have the right amount of money to be invested in renewable energy.. You can get free energy..

Its not free if you had to invest money in order to get it. To get free electricity, you need to find a deal where you pay a flat access to your electricity(Included in rent that you need anyways) and then consuming more electricity does not cost more money.

By saying that, do you mean that he can get electricity on rent and then get access to more electricity even at the same rates???

Yes, electricity is included in my rent, so if i put 5kW on miners, i pay the same monthly rent as if i have 0kW on miners. Otherwise electricity cost is under 0.06, which is very cheap still. (Up to 30kW)

or find someone with very cheap electricity and rent your miners in his location, still undecided if this could be better than cloud

legit cloud might also be a solution, i don't see any difference in a home mining with 0.05 electricity and cloud with the same rate, actually there will be less troubles with cloud

And you know of a legit cloud doing it for that cheap? All i have seen is 0.08-0.11.

there was one guy on the main mining section(too bad it's full of spam now, the thread seems lost), actually there were two, one look legit the other not so much

Lie down. Have a cookie

It looks like some people referenced solar power and the long-term payoff..

There was another project a guy had done https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/project-solar-powered-bitcoin-mining-rig-1077811
He did it for $158 and runs 3 antminer u2's on it.
ROI is almost never unless he gets lucky and gets a block.

Just depends how much you believe in bitcoin for the long-term payoff.

Personally you should just go climb an electric pole and hope you don't get shocked while hooking up a free line to your house, heh heh.

WOW!!! NOW I AM ACCUSED OF SPAMMING, what you want me to stop supporting Bitcoin. drop my avatar and signature, leave the site, maybe drop my programming skills to! However, you could charge lithium Ion batteries, take them home, and run your miners off them. They can charge while there and be tae home to use on the miners!

Don't accuse people of spamming just because they have a signature campaign! Just because I want to earn money while posting about my favourite thing (computer science)! Find something useful to do and quick!

Do you believe that supporting gambling websites is helpful and supportive of Bitcoin, just in the name of making a few dollars? Maybe you should find something more useful to do, instead of leveraging a hobby for monetary gain at the expense of other people's losses. I'm not even going to touch on your suggestions, not with a 10 foot pole.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

Ok, back to topic: If you really want to do "free" power, figure out how you can make a miner help things. For example power factor correction. Could there be a way to use the inductors on the 12v to .6v switching circuits in every damn miner to smooth out the lead/lag loads on say HVAC equipment? How about non-linear loads? Utilities charge a dump truck worth of money to consumers that have crappy power factor, either put that extra energy into the inductors for the miner, or let the miner's fields dump into the lead side of the sine wave.

Then you mine bitcoins, make utilities happy, AND clients happy. They need smaller wires, they have less overheats, utility runs more efficiently, you get hailed as a fucking hero and get a statue.

Suppose, if you have an antminer s7, it can produce 1btc a month.
1btc is around £200.
Hotel accomodation, per night, including electricity and internet: £40
200x6=1200
1200/30=40

So for 6 antminer s7s, you get around £1200 a month.
Convert this into money and you have £40 a night!
Purchase about 10 s7s and you have got yourself £800 a month or more than £20 a night!

Not so bad but needs a high capital!

what a moron brain could ever think that?

And the staff will never wonder why you never let them clean the room or the loud noises other rooms complain about....

It's a idea that will never work. Hotels are not meant for ton's of electrical usage. You would really surprise me if you could do 6 S7's in 1 hotel room.

They probably wouldn't make too much noise, and If they did, you would be able to try and drown ehm out or even place them in the cupboard. There would be enough plug sockets, I think. Why would staff get suspicious about not being able toclean a room, also, if you book somewhere like a premier inn or travel lodge, they don't tend to not clean the rooms on daily basises anyway!

Which miners have you ran personally? I don't think you get how loud some can be. And putting in a cupboard..... would trap exhust with miner so it would be like a box of death getting hotter and hotter.

This will not work in hotel in 90 percent of cases. And if it does... chances are you paying more for hotel then you make with miners. They are not geared for a lot of electricity. And actually chances are you would try it in a motel not hotel.... and it could be one nasty place. But still not going to get you cheap electricity after paying for room.

Just give them the oven example. When the oven door is closed, the heat go way up and it cook your food. That is identical to what would happen to your miners, they would cook. I'm meeting a lot of people, even IRL that want to get into mining and thats what they usually say;

"Just put it in the storage room." (That has no window or air flow)

Last one yesterday, chained with "I'll just put an AC there" which would just generate more heat since he did not have a way to dump the heat outside. He was going to leave the exhaust in the storage room as well.

Exactly I think what we saw was someone trying to give advice with a signature... .and they did not have proper info to give advice. They did not understand some miners do make lots of noise... it's in some of their nature. Granted you can cut it down but a box with no exhaust or intake is one of the worst idea's ever.

The miner will actually be dead silent most likely..... as it will die from hot exhaust getting hotter.... and hotter running in cupboard.

He didn't necessarily say you spammed but you gave some horrid advice. NEVER, ever put miners into a cupboard. Would you put a computer tower in a cupboard without proper ventilation? No, so why would putting a miner be any different? Don't give advice if you know nothing. thanks!

There is really no such thing as free power... You'll eventually get caught and get kicked out of your place.

Several location in the world has free electricity, few cents per Month per kWh. And there are quite a few "electricity included in rent" deals in places where electricity is cheap. And here, if electricity is included but you take too much, the landlord does not have ground to kick you out.

If you abuse, he has legal right to request you to tone it down, but unless you run a 20kW mine in your living room, i think you'll be just fine.

I don't imagine you will find much free power around... How is your search going for free bitcoins?

I know that in Australia, you can now lease solar panels, perhaps this could be the sort of solution you are looking for. I have also seen offers like 60 months interest free, on solar panels. Would 5 years be enough free energy to pay off the panels?
Despite all that, i doubt whether it would be worth it $wise (even with free power), I mean there are now mining companies listed on the ASX, who do nothing but mine. Unless you're planning on playing for real money, probs best not to bother!

If you have free electricity, ROI is extremely easy and pretty much guaranteed. You can't lose money mining BTC with free electricity, so its kind of a life hack that make it so you always earn BTC.

Unless you do stupid things like buy a USB miner for 3000USD.

New guy here!

So I live in NC and since OCT '14 I've paid $650 with all utilities included. Yes this includes electricity and Time Warner internet. Here is the downside I'm moving in two weeks Cry

I was just thinking man I could have made ROI and then some.

When you rent office space, most of the time electricity is included. The same applies for renting an house.
But make sure with your landlord that the price is included. Don't go out setting up 20 miners and then having your landlord come to you to pay the electricty bill.
