Hi,

I live in Scarborough, ON, Canada. The fall and winter months are usually pretty cool/cold.

I wonder if anyone in Canada has moved their bitcoin/litecoin mining rigs to their balcony's for the folder months and what they encased them in?

I have a KNC Neptune miner which I want to put outside. My balcony faces west so I can sometimes get some pretty strong winds. I was thinking of using a rubbermaid container and drilling some holes; possible will need to build a down ward scoop on the intake side so that the snow and or rain doesn't get sucked into the container.

Does anyone have any pictures of stuff they have built they could share?

Thanks,

Its dangerous putting in balcony, raining would kill it.

I would build a temporary removable screen balcony, you can make one whole sub wall that runs the length of your balcony and just cover it with screens

put the miners as close to the main wall as possible and watch the first storm to see if any of the dampness or water hits the minersif it does put plywood on the top 2 to 3 feet of your subwall to stop the elements from getting to the miners

I moved my Antminer S1 outside at the beginning of July, once I realized ot was throwing off too much heat. I have had it running outside this entire time on a covered porch, no rain is able to get near it. I am in Cornwall, Ontario.

Why not keep them inside during the colder months and use them to heat your room/home?

Never use the hot air for space heating.
This air is not good for breathing due to harmful chemicals from pcb and parts.

How bad would the hot air be? I think there's a lot of people out there who has their gear indoor (like me).

Because I live in 700 SQ condo and having them running keeps me up night and interferes with my TV and video game playing. Putting it outside would not along allow me to run the cubes at 500Mhz but it would allow me to keep them super cold.
