Thanks. Accordingly I have given up on the idea of mining on a sailboat. Another opportunity has just come up for me and I will start a new topic for that.

Your sailboat will thank you. I tried to help in other idea. I think you are far better off out of the boat.

The revolution will be monetized!

Your in a great position to mine. You just need this:

A wave powered data center. Just drop it in the North Atlantic to keep it cold, anchor it to the transatlantic cable for backbone internet access and start mining. Cheesy

Can nothing be done using the little free 12v energy I have and the free wifi?

We need to know the wattage you have available, as has already been stated. Voltage is nothing more than a measure of electric potential, wattage is a measure of the amount of work electricity can do.

I'll go out on a limb and guess your wind generator produces a couple hundred watts or there abouts, probably enough for a couple light bulbs and small appliance or something. I bet you could run like a laptop with a few USB stick miners or something very low draw, but you need to know watts available first. I don't think you'll be running any S5s or anything like that.

Hi. I live on a Sailboat. I am wondering if it would be practical for me to try mining? I have a wind generator going to two 12v leisure batteries and free wifi using Alfa Tube 2H. Gets hot in the Summer where I am. I also have access to electricity I would have to pay for at the Marina. I understand I could not hope to use a powerful machine.
Would like to try and get something small, perhaps 12v, that would not run too hot and would still provide a little income for me in the long term, especially in the winter when it is cold and perhaps no fan required. Or am I dreaming?
Is there some hardware might work for me? I am not technically minded and it would have to be almost for dummies.

How many watts do you get out of generator? What are you paying for electricity that is not coming from wind? That will be a big factor.

I think it is a little bit of a dream to be honest hearing it. I'm guessing noise and heat will be a issue within your boat.

Dont know the watts of the wind generator. Its old and was on the boat when I got it. SHore power would be at normal rates. I would not be so interested in using much shore power for it. Yes noise and heat would be an issue. Not looking good I guess. Can nothing be done using the little free 12v energy I have and the free wifi? Something quiet that over time generates a tiny amount of bitcoin?

Well power rates very GREATLY depending on location. If "shore power" is higher then 10 cents Kw I would not try to mine.

On wind generator you really need to know how much power it puts out. This chooses what you can do. I just know the heat from some miners I cannot imagine putting it in a fiberglass boat and risk damage. I don't know a ton about sailboats but the friends that I know have them spent a small fortune on them.

I'm going to guess with no air flow, and low power you could do possibly raspberry pi with usb stick miners. The only thing is they are a novilty at this point and chances are you lose money
