At last I seem to be sorting out my life. I've just bought a "new" van ( 2006 !!! ), and I love it. It was empty apart from a wood burning stove, and I'm going add some furniture and live in it for a while. Running a full Bitcoin node won't be a problem, as I can use free WiFi, or tether to my 'phone. The interesting one would be to try Mining. I don't really expect to be profitable, as I would use a couple of USB miners, and only connect intermittently. I think I would try solo mining, and teat it rather like doing the lottery, with not much expectation of winning.
Would you guys be interested in my posting about the experience?

Of course, it would be very informative if you shared your experience. So, write, and better yet, with a photo for clarity.

Regarding "wood burning stove", you can heat the room using miner instead of stove. In this way, you will solve the issue of heating and removing excess heat generated by miner. This will be a bonus to your lottery and contribution to supporting the BTC-network.

Oh, you are talking about USB miners, and not full-fledged mining rigs? They probably have very modest heat output? And the connection from time to time will reduce your chances of "winning the lottery".

My thoughts are that it would have to be solo mining, as no pool would enjoy a connection such as my proposed one joining the club.

https://solo.ckpool.org/, https://web.public-pool.io and few other Bitcoin solo mining pool actually accept low hashrate. And since those website usually used by hobbyist or those who try their luck, i think they don't mind miner who have slow or unstable connection either.

Thanks for the helpful replies.
I've been running a node for years, so that won't be a problem, even with an intermittent connection. Power would need to come from solar with a battery backup. I'm thinking that a miner could run all night if I can pick up a sensible WiFi signal. The idea is to run the miner at no cost, apart from the capital investment. Maybe a Raspberry Pi with a couple of USB mining ASICs. I take the point about slow connectivity. It would be a real bummer to find a block, and lose the reward because of a laggy connection. My thoughts are that it would have to be solo mining, as no pool would enjoy a connection such as my proposed one joining the club.

Firstly it's very nice for any bitcoiner to run a node as it assists although very little in the bitcoin ecosystem. Most people see running a node as a fun thing and of course adding mining to it would be nice. All should be good as long as you have nice electricity and of course Strong internet connection. I won't really advise making use of a free WiFi or your tether hotspot from your phone since sometimes there is usually slow internet connection though it depends on your location.
Anyways congratulations on your new van. I believe you bought it with some bitcoin too Grin

anyways it would be nice of you to share your experience here from time to time it may even assist others who want to venture solo mining and running a node too.

Would be nice to see how things will go, it seems that nomadic lifestyle isn't talked about much in this forum so I really would love the idea that someone is sharing their experience on this kind of stuff. This is just my opinion but I think that it's more interesting too if you also include other aspects of living in a camper van because nomadic lifestyle is a pretty much new concept for some people here so it's going to really pique their interest if you ask me. What are you planning for your Internet though? I think that a stable Internet is going to be needed right?

I have always been interested in reading about your experience and experiment on bitcoin; if not for anything, I just like the fact that you don't allow your age to limit you from bitcoin minning.

Congratulations on your new van. It appears that you are a lover of trucks. From your previous posts, which I have come across, if I remember correctly, you made mention of a van, and at this stage and point in time, I don't think you even need to worry much about the profit as long as you are doing what you love; the experience is all of it.

And, oh yes, I will definitely love to be reading about the experience. If you have the time to be updating the thread with them, I will definitely put it on my watchlist.
