Original Posters' thread... The Graph got to $1.20 How much ETH do you get per month? Don't do it anon. I'm telling you from experience. They will notice and it will be a pain trying to move everything without them noticing. Is there really no power meter in a hotel? I never stayed in one to know. It's prepaid right? I can mine 4 ETH a month It's not as hot as in my apartment and I'm in my underwear Hotelmining Anon replies.... I've been doing this for a year now and living comfortably with minimal stress. don't pay for electricity living in a hotel This outlet didn't exist when I moved in What about noise? How much is that thing making? Anon I think I heard that electricity from the hotel gets paid by the hour or by day. Is that true? Hotels pay commercial rates, and it's a fixed cost. They don't typically meter individual rooms unless you are a long term tenant (like >30 days) and they usually won't care. Is that a fucking medical grade cart? Yes and no. It depends on the hotel and whether you are a long-term tenant. I wouldn't worry about it so much. If they notice, they will kick you out. Just move rooms. I hope you buy that janitor a gift sometime in the near future hotelan rig hotelan rig lmao, the hotel is probably claiming that their insulation, their windows or something needs to be replaced. imagine a hotel losing all their electricity bill for self Yes. It's not a secret how much electricity you're using. There's a master meter somewhere and if it suddenly spikes, someone WILL notice. Just unplug it when housekeeping comes and you'll be fine. It makes quite a bit of noise, but it's not bad. My room is on the corner so no one is next to me. The janitor is also a friend so he won't snitch. I just tip him good and he doesn't say anything. Lmao I would move to another hotel if I were you. If you were caught, that is. The hotel is probably training their new employees. They don't typically keep track of who uses what, it's a fixed cost. They don't typically know what is normal and what is not. They are probably claiming that their insulation or windows need to be replaced. This is hilarious. I hope you make bank anon. The hotel isn't paying for your electricity directly. They pay for their electricity bill as a fixed monthly or weekly bill. I don't know if you're a genius or just an idiot. I'm leaning more towards genius. Lmao. I don't know if you're a genius or an idiot, but this thread makes me laugh. My sides are aching from laughing so hard. Like you could set up hundreds of these You are absolutely insane anon. I hope you make millions from this. Can confirm. Am doing this myself. This is a legitimate question. Do hotels notice a sudden spike in electricity use in a particular room? Is it really that efficient compared to a normal mining rig or is it just the zero electric bill? No power meters in hotel rooms? No, I don't think so. The hotel has a master meter, and if it spikes, they will notice. Just unplug it when housekeeping comes and you'll be fine. No. It's just the zero electric bill. He's running a whole mining operation in a hotel room? This is why I love /biz/ Based. Lmao, this is genius. Hotel mining is the ultimate hustle. Maximize profits, minimize costs. I've been considering this myself. What's the downside? The downside is getting caught and having to move everything quickly. What about internet? Hotels usually have decent internet, but sometimes it can be throttled. Lmao, this whole thread is gold. This anon is living the dream. He just needs to change hotels every month or so to avoid suspicion. Anon is based. Living rent-free and mining ETH. Is that rig on a trolley? So you can wheel it out quickly? Yeah, it's on a medical cart. Easy to move. Anon, you're a legend. What's your total initial investment for the rig? Around $5k, but it paid for itself in a few months. This is how you beat the system. Peak /biz/ content. Amazing thread. My sides. Anon is playing 5D chess. So, no individual room meters then? Generally no, unless it's an extended stay hotel. What about the heat? I run the AC cold. It's worth it for the free electricity. This is genius level degeneracy. The ultimate wagie escape plan. Mad respect, anon. This thread is a classic. Imagine explaining this to a hotel manager. I can't believe this is a real thing. Living the dream. Fuck electricity bills.
