DIY river crypto mining experimentfrom @dataslayer
[01]
Overview
The creator documents his attempt to monetize a river by building an off-grid cryptocurrency mining rig. He explains his plan, introduces the Raspberry Pi and a hydroelectric turbine, shows the step-by-step process of setting up the equipment in a stream, and confirms it's generating power and running the mining software, before revealing the comically small amount of money he earned.

Today, I'm gonna find out if we can monetize a river. This is a Raspberry Pi single board computer about the size of a credit card, and this is a Better Lily hydroelectric turbine. And together, we're gonna harness the power of clean energy to mine crypto. Let's get it. So here's my plan. First, we're gonna find a small stream with running water and sufficient flow. Next, we're gonna submerge our Better Lily so we can generate free power for our Raspberry Pi. Tier, we're gonna connect our Raspberry Pi to the Water Lily and boot it up. Finally, we'll connect to my mobile hotspot and run the crypto mining software. I totally understand this code. No we can see our worker running and generating a hash rate. This fully self sufficient off grid crypto mining rig is totally insane. Satoshi would be proud. But will the rig be enough to earn us any real crypto? Let's find out. So I logged into our mining pool service and found that the unimaginable had happened. I earned 11 thousandths of a penny.
