What is your portable rig? Must be wild to make the stay free.

Fictional. Unless he has a $30k asic he's not making $100/day. I had $10k worth of GPUs mining two ethereum halvings(thirdings) ago and made like $10 a day in profit on like $80 a day in revenue. It has not gotten more profitable, more and more miners come online in the stans of Central Asia on virtually free electricity every day.

How do you know OP isn't vacationing in Central Asia. I hear it's nice.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Not into crypto mining, but I know it doesn't work as implied by op.

Yeah I've been down this path for years. I made some profit but I could have made a lot more just investing the money into stocks that I spent on the mining hardware. And I was also stealing electricity, still worse returns on the rigs I didn't have to pay for power for.

I think you are missing the point that my stay is the only overhead. It's not hard to make my target $12 - $15/hr with no electricity costs. With my setup, I would be cash negative running at my home.

You have a bitcoin mining set up that does not use electricity,? BS. Bitcoin is an environmental disaster and you just proved it.

It doesn't use my electricity.

That's just bs. Mining isn't very profitable right now.

Gotta get back that $500 cleaning fee they like to tack on then ask you to strip the beds and do the laundry

It's no more or less wrong than stealing the towels.

One rig? Are you plugging into the 220v or something?

by Forsaken_Cattle6111 2 weeks ago

Typically the dryer plug - so yes. It's switchable but I do OK on 110 too.

If you're running a rig that can cover your whole stay, you're absolutely abusing the host's electricity, and they should be able to charge you for it.

I can't imagine living life worried about terms of use

Not only are you abusing the tos, but this is straight up bs. Mining is not THAT profitable right now
