we have right here the bit main aunt minor s9 and then behind me and sitting
underneath me is the Tesla Model S what do these two have in common
pretty much absolutely nothing except they're kind of like the future
technology kind of thing but picture has been circulating around the internet and
also different news forms I didn't seen it in newspapers and on TV a picture
that someone was actually transporting Bitcoin mining or cryptocurrency mining
equipment in his trunk well the news of course takes that picture spins it
completely out of proportion and makes up a fake news story that just seems to
keep going and going and going and that news story is
oh he's stealing power from superchargers in order to mine
cryptocurrency for free I've already done two videos on this subject one
explaining why it's completely idiotic it's stupid idea and in video number two
I know what you'd have to go through to actually make something like that work
which just reinforces video number one showing that it's a completely stupid
and idiotic idea well my viewers wanted me to actually try it so here we have
the bit 9 bit main and minor s9 the most efficient commonly readily available
Bitcoin mining computer out on the market this little bugger right here can
do thirteen point five terror hashes per second calculations to mine Bitcoin
that's a lot it also has the lowest power consumption per tera hasher per
half so considering this is the most
efficient Bitcoin mining computer and this is pretty much the most efficient
vehicle or one of the most efficient vehicles in the world let's give it a go
now at full power this thing will draw just a hair under 1,400 watts of power
you can run it off 120 or 240 volts about 120 volt outlet just isn't going
to provide the unit with just what it needs so we have a 240 volt power
inverter DC to DC or DC to AC and Berger right here it's got a 1500 watt
sustained capacity with a burst of 3000 watts I can tell you right now this
thing does not draw even on burst and start up 3000 watts and I have verified
the capacity of my inverter and though it's a little on the small side it did
manage to run a 1500 watt load for about a half hour for me before the battery
was connected to was dead now one thing I need to note we're connecting to the
12 volt auxilary battery on the car since there's no reasonable way to tap
into the high voltage battery act and then even if we did we'd still need
other electronics another DC to DC converter of a sizable capacity to bring
the voltage down and then we'd still have to find a way to connect it to the
amp minor that being said there's also another problem the DC to DC converter
that's already in the car that recharges the 12-volt battery off the high voltage
battery as approximately a 600 watt capacity even if the car men just a
power the amp minor s9 the little problem is we're going to exhaust that
12-volt battery faster then the car can replenish it at but let's
just try it anyways and another thing I can do is there's three hash boards in
this aunt minor s9 well first we'll try it with all three if it doesn't work
we'll try it with two and then we'll try it with one and I'll tell you our
conclusions after that so let's lower her in here now if I was
actually setting this up to sit attitude supercharger do I would then have
some sort of Wi-Fi hotspot' going over the cellular network but we're not doing
it and I already can tell you right now this is an idiotic idea and then ain't
gonna really work so instead I ran a 50 foot ethernet cord and plug that in here
yep that's in the power supply the inverter is on lights go now you
guys can already hear in the background fans running those are three other and
minor s nines running in my house they're actually my garage for the
moment I'm making use of this ultra cold weather move the camera a little closer
here
and that's three of them about 30 feet away through other stuff in my garage
this is gonna get loud okay folks adjust my camera there okay now I also have my
dull mini 9 right there so we can so we can monitor this computer I got it set
up for the correct correct monitoring page for here all right
here we go fans are starting up
it's going through its boot sequence right now green lights are on
now if it does shut off I'm gonna kill the power on the power supply quickly if
it for some reasons there's a power failure because the inverters self
resetting
and I don't want to fry a very expensive lining computer here
the minor frames are now kicking in they go up to as much as 6000 rpm
one ant miner can put out as much heat as a 1500 watts
space heater actually somewhere in the range of about
4,500 to 5,000 BTU I'm actually working on a little project and return one of
these in here for my house he's running
I'm gonna check a few
okay the aunt liner ends online and on my network
and it is displaying the
it's no there we go alright and then just kill all right killed the power
supply so trial one guess the voltage dip was just a little bit too much or
something I don't know let's try removing and disconnecting power to one
of the hash boards
try again
all right
man is it cold out here
fifteen degrees Fahrenheit right now hope
let's put it this way these things taking up so much heat before these
running in my garage 15 degrees outside my garage was a balmy 65 degrees
Fahrenheit
right minor favor
no fault like here sometimes it doesn't like having that
force to make this
okay so each has four uses about 450 watts
so right now is one board disconnected we are down to nine
still not minding you
you know for
wife Lincoln
and oh alright so can't do 900 watts worth last try
now theoretically now we're down to one hash board turn her on
theoretically 450 watts draw technically the car should be able to support this
indefinitely but
let's see
Tara has 2/3 I guess escort 4.5 Tara Hatchin
just one board running
now we run into the next problem is the hash rate is so low if you went through
all the pain in the butt to do this getting free electric
all this hassle to make
based on right now spot price for Bitcoin through US dollar
$150
stealing electric
fans are spinning up a little bit more network traffic Oy
one hash boards running running the hash port
the lessons - Oh
now just not doing it I think we're gonna have to call this
one
all right look all right
dashboard lights out this is just not cutting it
all right we're gonna power that down yeah that's just not cutting it well we
gave it a try this just isn't practical nor is it
it's not really properly you know because just in the amount of time this
thing's been sitting offline in my front of my car I probably lost more money
than I could have gained if it actually ran so we're calling it it's just this
it's it's a neat idea but it's just it's it's just it's stupid I mean it's
something fun to try but there's just no point in doing it it's just not don't
waste your time but we did it I mean who else is stupid enough to actually try it
and actually mine Bitcoin with the Tesla Model S me now that being said here is
my call to Elon Musk with over 1100 different kinds of cryptocurrency out
there now 1100 different kinds of coins and more being created every day Elon I
call to you please have your minions make a Tesla
coin remember whose idea it was I get the the initial IC o---- maybe a
few bonus coins off the start here but maybe have a Tesla coin that we can use
as Tesla owners but the amount of processing power in these cars is
especially starting with the auto pilot two vehicles and the GPUs that are in
these cars and and all that other good stuff maybe we could put to use some of
the idle power while the cars are plugged in fully charged and not doing
anything to mine Tesla coin cryptocurrency hey how that sounds I am
need idea no yes maybe what do you guys think what do you think my viewers what
do you think of this whole ordeal and pain on the butt please comment in the
