Where will you vent the excess heat when running it it the summer? Is it connected to Seyter? Provably Fair Black Jack. Wrote up my calculations here: I will run more finite numbers when I can get legitimate numbers on the bills in the coming quarter.
If you would also like to protect yourself, add the Chrome extension TamperMonkey , or the Firefox extension GreaseMonkey and add this open source script. The more interesting aspect of this new fork however is that it is not another Bitcoin Cash type of fork that essentially uses the same kind of PoW as Bitcoin and can be mined with ASICs only, instead the BTG fork will use Equihash as a mining algorithm thus making it a GPU mineable coin. Do you honestly believe that the thin Ethernet cables can send a high current? Which upload did you download from? If you mass produce enough of them, it might be possible? It doesn't need to heat the whole house. There are probably other things, but these are some general thoughts.

Miner of gpu site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. And that is wonder w of computing power. Bitcoin subscribe unsubscribebitcoin 19, users here now Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: Outside the house, I can just bitcoin easily setup that during the spring when it's necessary. Bitcoin Stack Exchange is a miner and answer site for Bitcoin crypto-currency enthusiasts. This isn't just some fun gpu. I can always just hook up a 2nd unit downwind from my wonder before it gets to the main air vents.
My house also has a heatwall finnish invention too, where the hot smoke from the kitchen goes into the living room and weaves in the wall before going out through the chimney which makes the W suffice in that room. Makes me wonder if we could have modular asic unit, where you can just slide the new chips in each season, and the old chips can go back to the manufacturer to be recycled.
As long as it's cheaper than your yearly heating costs to replace only the chips that could work. If i'm not mistaken, manufacturing ASICs is very cheap, it's the design that is expensive? If you mass produce enough of them, it might be possible?
I had the same idea, but the guys at bitcointalk told me it wouldn't make sense because the components change every iteration and the sockets are often different. The man has an idea let him go with it cause in the long run he will break even and get free heat.
So can ASICs if you simultaneously have a bubble in price and a crash in difficulty due to people actin against their own best interests. We don't know if he will, if mining difficulty rises fast enough then he will take a loss, making this worse than just buying an electric space heater. Even if he's profitable now mining returns will eventually fall below electricity cost at which point he is paying for heat, and paying more than his gas heat alternative. It's only "free" if mining diff stays low enough for long enough, such that his miner generates as much as he spent on electricity up to the point that he pays for the miner plus he needs to pay for the difference in cost between electric heating and his gas heating alternative.
What if he wrote a program to only make it run when economical? And you could switch between the miner and the existing heating system. Not running it means not generating coins which just further increases the likelyhood of not breaking even overall.
Once the miner costs more in electricity than it generates in coins then your program would run the miner never anyway. In fact it would stop running even before that, as gas heat is cheaper than electricity. Unless difficulty went down and so did electrical cost due to some unrelated variable unlikely, yes.
I don't understand the downvotes. Using a program to turn your miner off periodically doesn't help improve the chances of turning a profit. The thing is, I was replying to a comment that assumed that "he will break even and get free heat" which is not true.
OP may break even and get discounted heat, and OP should know that there's a significant risk that he will not break even, at least, don't you think so? This isn't just some fun idea. This is a serious economic question that could cost OP some money if he messes up. Regardless of whether you thinks he should do it or not, focus on pros and cons instead of "The man has an idea let him go with it". Won't heat the house but it helps reduce the load on the furnace and it doesn't have to, it helps offset the cost of hte electricity use of the miner.
The little fan in your miner is not going to push air through your entire house. It's effect would be negligible compared to your furnace. You'll have to have your furnace on most of the time anyway. You really think your Bitcoin miner is putting out more heat than a space heater? A space heater can heat one room if you're lucky.
I still have a few ideas about exactly what I will do. But putting a much higher CFM fan downwind before the main airvent will go a long way, and the heat adds up at the end of the day. My plan is to put a air filter on the front of it, and hook up the exhaust through some tubing to my central air system.
I'll assume you're an engineer or student based on your username, so I'm confident you have calculations to back up a claim like that. It doesn't need to heat the whole house. It can just supplement the existing heating system. It could certainly heat a single room. Most space heaters are in the 1kW - 1. The ones I've used can easily make a room too hot. Try coming to anywhere other than the equator and you'll see that gas is a little more than that.
It was below zero Deg C for 42 days in a row last winter Please double check the 1: That does not sound right. Yeah actually looking back you may be right. Still though I wonder if it would be worth it because look at how much heat a simple gaming computer will put out, it will completely warm a room in my house during the winter months with the vents closed.
And that is about w of computing power. Scale that up and you have a usable place for all that otherwise wasted heat to go. A calculation that might let you get there to a 1: Gas and heat pumps are not practically portable, and with portable heating, you can be efficient by only heating where you are.
Get solar panels for powering your mining rig 2: Miners are usually quite loud, built not very sturdy and do run on electricity, which is often the most expensive way to generate heat. You are right about electricity being expensive to heat though. But I am taking otherwise wasteful heat from the mining process and using it so there is SOME utility to it. Sure, if you want to try it out, it could be an interesting experiment.
I'd strongly recommend though to keep your existing heating solution and not throw it out before winter. Especially considering we will get off-peak rates by using it in the night too. I haven't fully run the numbers but I expect the electricity costs to mostly be offset by gas savings.
I will run more finite numbers when I can get legitimate numbers on the bills in the coming quarter. I've thought about doing this, but scaling it up for an apartment building, etc. Same concept as a [cogeneration plant]. If you live in a place that doesn't have municipal gas lines and thus gas is more expensive then it could save money. The main problem is that if difficulty rises you won't recoup the money you spent on your miner which is a lot more expensive than a space heater.
My miners keep my basement warm er in the winter, so if you actually spent some time on setup you might be able to realize some savings here.
As someone else mentioned though, the stock fans aren't gonna pump the exhaust very far; you'll probably need some powerful aftermarket fans to move the air effectively. Yeah good point, I do plan on putting a larger circulation fan to shove it through my air system without my furnace shoving it back reverse into my hashing unit lol. The fan for the furnace is pretty imbedded in the unit, I will have to investigate it more this weekend but I don't think that's an option.
I can always just hook up a 2nd unit downwind from my miner before it gets to the main air vents. One other calculation you should make: They are more efficient than just turning electricity into heat because they move heat in instead of creating it.
It's like a reverse fridge or air conditioner. My bitcoin miners kept the chill out of the basement this past winter Not as a primary source of heat. Someone a few months back did a comparison survey comparing the cost of using regular methods compared to asic heating methods. The end result asic heating I not cost efficient say the current price. The price would need to be near to make it worth while. I think this is a great idea, miners put out a lot of heat. Grab a couple and you should be good to go.
I doubt it, whats needed is a chip designed that puts out as much heat as possible then it would be worth doing but the mined coins. Not sure but if I put my hand in front a 2kw fan heater it will literally burn if I do the same with a 2kw miner it will just be warm heat. I also got it from TPB. We might have downloaded from the same uploader? Which upload did you download from? Can't remember the name of the uploader right now but he had a green scull next to his name. Searching on PirateBay right now and I can't see that torrent anymore!
It will install in a random folder in Roaming or Local. In your case it was adobe folder, so go check the files and then delete it.
Is the bitcoin miner included in seyter's doom and inside repack or only in the aforementioned repacks? Found it with Process Explorer , got rid of it with Autoruns. Don't dick around, just download Hitman Pro. It's free and even if you are totally fucked it can save you.
Hitman Pro is a take-no-shit program and will delete useful files that seem even slightly suspicious if you're not careful. Also, my friend once had ridiculous amounts of files infected with viruses that included Windows files. When Hitman Pro detected these files it deleted them, obviously fucking up his Windows installation and then he's PC. It probably never actually ran. I left the issch one on my computer for a few days and it never started. I think whoever packed the miner forgot whatever was supposed to start it, ie: So the files end up sitting there doing nothing.
There is no impact while you are using your computer, because when you are active the miner is not. I have a similar one but not sure if that's the miner? Checked with Eset and malwarebytes and found nothing.. Ok i deleted that folder Malwarebytes totally skipped it.. I don't wanna reinstall windows now as that will break the JC3 bypass. It detected it for me. I think it detects the config file or one of the. This comment has been overwritten by an open source script to protect this user's privacy.

Then simply click on your username on Reddit, go to the comments tab, scroll down as far as possible hint: Well, I have installed Inside from Seyter and put both Premium Malwarebytes and Kaspersky to search and they found nothing.
Check the Task Scheduler and nothing. Windows search and nothing again. Download the Everything and found both issch. Are Malwarebytes and Kaspersky really that good? That sounds like the miner, but for some reason mbytes is not detecting it for everyone.
Try doing a custom scan and check all the boxes, it's what I did. Checked my PC right after this post and found a bitcoin miner. I downloaded the Total War Warhammer repack by Seyter. Last year, i got a bitcoin miner no idea where from and struggled with it for about a week. However , after installing Malwarebytes Premium and doing a full scan, it found it and permanently removed it.
You want to use Roguekiller for purposes like this. Rogues are extreme malware that can latch on to other files which means it can hide behind chrome. Install Roguekiller based on your windows. I used RogueKiller since the malwarebytes didn't find it.
Will checking the CPU usage via Task Manager be a more straightforward alternative to checking if you have one? It could activate later or while you're idle so checking it's even installed would be best. Um may be I'm just stupid but can anyone explain to me what a bitcoin miner is and why it is bad? It mines bitcoin for the person who infected your computer with it. It's not necessarily harmful to your system, but it's still very douchy to add it to repacks like Seyter did.
Most people don't want their machines being used to mine bitcoin for someone else. You guys should also try scanning with Hitman Pro free trial http: TIFU I saw this post and be somewhat a little bit scare.
Theoretically, you can use a regular PC for mining purpose, but its processing is so slow, there is no point in using it. To enhance the processing power i. The hardware features graphical processing units GPUs. GPUs are intended for overwhelming mathematical lifting which is utilized as a part of computing all the complex polygons required in the top of the line computer games.
This ability makes them great at the SHA hashing mathematics which is essential for solving transaction blocks. FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array empowers a mining equipment producer to purchase the chips in volume, and afterward customize them for Bitcoin mining before placing them into their own particular gear.
ASICs are particularly manufactured perform only one task: Because ASICs are designed specifically for high-speed mining, they are expensive and time-consuming to produce.
However, the speeds are unbelievably fast.
