Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I'm so stoked, a couple years ago I was about to buy a space heater for my office before someone pointed out I could just use my and my SO's new 3080s as a space heater. So I got a mining program thing and ran it when I wasn't using the computer, and made like 800 dollars over the winter. The mining rate plummeted later and is still extremely low (can't make hardly any money on it anymore). The price also plummeted to like 300 dollars. Now just the other week I figured out how to sell the Bitcoin and got 1000 dollars... (Minus 25 to convert... Minus another 25 for wire transfer to avoid giving some shady company literally ALL of my bank information, minus 10 dollars from my fucking bank for getting the wire transfer....)
So I got 940 dollars right at the very peak of the Bitcoin price a couple weeks ago and it's still down way below that. It might go up more later but it's not going to quintuple, there isnt enough money out there unless some more countries get taken over by Bitcoin nutjobs. I'm glad I could contribute just a little bit to the price crashing
Wait a minute would you think it would be cheaper to heat your house with bitcoin miners computer towers that will spike your electricity bill but let you turn down the thermostat or keeping with the status quo of heating your place with the in-built natural gas powered HVAC system
It wasn't an issue of total heating or I would have just turned up the thermostat. The heat just wasn't getting to the office properly, so if I wanted it to be comfortable in there it had to be hot as shit in some other parts of my place. Shitty old heating and ducting.
Sounds like you just need some child labor to sweep those ducts clean
