Ah yes. Manmade horrors beyond my comprehension. Imagine all the big crypto cartels took this idea and scaled it. Not that they already don't in some way; I've seen "mining" stations set up directly next to power plants to save on energy costs.

I’ve tried using a usb battery for a similar use case, and when it’s charging it disables it’s output. A ups would be needed for this case

Not bad for $300 worth of hardware
yeah! it will pay itself back in 200 years 😁

With today's market, $300 is just the price of the pi, they're legendary and elusive at this point. The turbine could be had for cheaper.
@@AdmiralFaceMSRP for the raspberr pi is like $35. They are constantly restocked by stores and sold at MSRP, they just sell out quickly.
@@damian9303Man the pi is worth the money. Pi-hole alone justifies the cost.
Off grid ? But you need a hotspot
Could be hotspot via Satellite
You could leave the hotspot with it
Ok but can you use a usb modem with cheap only internet sim
He literally said mobile hotspot 😑
Sigma level internet connection in such an off-grid place surely.

Good save at the end. No your Pie will not mine anything substantial
Definitely. when it's in competition with many much quicker machines, that single board computer doesn't stand a chance.
@@WhenIHit88MPH For sure it does. I wouldnt just mine btc. Thats gambling.
Get in a mining pool.
man's at level 0 of a crypto mining tycoon game
where did you bought the water lily ?
Smart idea, but im guessing that your hotspot bills would negate the tiny earnings of the pi 4. (Even with a unlimited plan.)
There's no way in hell that crypto mining on a pi could even pay a fraction of the cost of the hotspot bill. And you have to take in consideration the cost of the rest of the hardware used... and the pi itself.
So how long do you have to mine before you pay off the Water Lily and the Pi? 2 years, 4 years?

put a powerbank before the Pi
This lets you recharge your devices, lets you store power and it prevents unstable voltage/current
"Offgrid"
The networking infrastructure: 👋
Using the hotspot from the laptop that won’t be charged by the rig…
I love you and your content dude 😂
I always get confused by this. Is it 1/11000 or 11/1000 of a penny?
Um ??? How much was the turbine also if you had a capacitor would it have a steady input output voltage
I get recommended this video every day it’s true i like it but yt algo is broken
How long was this actually running for?
i think 17 minutes? not too sure what PPLNS window means but i think its representative of how long ago he started working on that block
Hes pool mining. He should solo.
@@havucludavsando you really think he could mine even a single block solo?? Last time i checked, a raspberry pi is not the right hardware for that
@@nobodyinparticular968then it would be 4.2€ on a day. Not bad :)
This production deserves way more attention:)
Not off grid, you using your hotspot, which means you have to power the phone and have it near the device your giving internet to. So....
That could be powered by a turbine too
there are simadapters for pi´s
Get a small battery in between for if the river goes a bit dry or if the raspberry psi pulls to much watts
Some amps to run that, so no. A combination of power sources would work, but it's bigger than you think.
What’s the repayment time with the components cost and the rate of mining?
While you are next to water and the pi gets really hot than it's the perfect time to water cool it
I would use a 5 volt ups or a powerbank to remove all the powerspikes the generator and differeneces in water current might create
Bro got us in the first half when he said eleven thousand
bruh that's raw af, no voltage regulator..
You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
I just thought why not stream the flowing river 24/7
Not bat actully, Rp requires less power, so with combination of wind and water + solar combine we can add some 50k mah battery as ups and we can run that Rp easily for months
We can use it for many more pourpose then crypto
We also use solar panel

Do you have the rights to use the river for electricity?
Seems like an interesting stream of income
i showed this to my grandma and she exploded
How long did it take to earn 5 cents? 🤔

That one unemployed friend
This is good idea but you just need bigger turbine and internet, this should be a good option for persons who have yard with river or stream
UHM using the river water to cool the pi would have been better since it most likely thermaled throttled
Just about 200 years for the RasPi and turbine to pay off.
What software do you use
Dudes a drooler
"Fully self-sufficient"
Internet connection: 🗿🗿
It's says most mod can't enable... You could earn way more if it enabled. This usually can be fixed by running as admin or disableling secure boot

Want does a smart guy with a River bank do: exactly this
cool the rpi with the river
Whats powering the laptop and hotspot?
I think you should run a tor relay instead
Wait we can mine on raspberry pi ???
You need a heat sink on that puppy, or else it will overheat and slow itself down.
This gives me chills of it falling
So you got yourself a little income stream?
You could watercool it while youre at it
That one rouge stream current: *Ima bout to end this mans whole career*
Self sufficient and needsHotspot
I am proud
So with the hotspot running you can never actually profit
Why not use a battery and a power harvester?
Are you assuming satoshi is oriental?
I can already see the little 11 year old kids with their financial pages making a reel abt this
Watercool the pi using the river 😂
where i can buy that electric generator ?
Utilizing clean energy to create more carbon emissions. Yeah that’s smart
No way you really said letsgettittttt, if you try to make sense of it and give space it is let's get titt🤣🤣🤣
idea: add a cooler to the raspberry pi and watercool it with the water flowing next to you
Self sufficient with mobile hot spot 😂
Imagine buying a turbine to mine 1 block every milenia hahah

“Erm achully the Venmo card is a debit card☝️🤓”
Brilliant. This will be huge if done on a larger scale.
"on a larger scale" means just using the national power grid. It's much more efficient and cost effective.
How are you going to generate the wattage that is being drawn with a single turbine? Can you produce over 65 wats?

Not fully self sufficent because your hotspot device needs power too.
This man just discovered infinite money glitch in real life
Prolly pay more for the hotspot than you're earning back haha
Lol. It cost more to run you Hotspot for internet then you would ever earn mining. Neat idea tho.
Can you please upload full tutorial?
I mean if you manage to get an rtx hookep up to it you might get a little bit of money
How do you make a crypto miner?
Bet but one fourth of an acre set up multiple and boom runs forever and no power bill
You'd be better off using the power to save on your power bill.
You can always build a steam-based power plant
Ah yes. Manmade horrors beyond my comprehension. Imagine all the big crypto cartels took this idea and scaled it. Not that they already don't in some way; I've seen "mining" stations set up directly next to power plants to save on energy costs.
Out all of the things you could have done you decided to pedal crypto
you would need a proper sim card router for this to be permanent
This is fake. I have a waterlily and you would never be able to run a pi on a small stream like that.
