BURST Mining Farm Iceland

It was roughly 30 ºF outside in Durham, North Carolina, on a recent day in late November, but Rahdi Fakhoury’s 1650-square-foot house was so warm he left a window open a bit. The heater he was using? Two bitcoin mining machines and two Ethereum mining machines. Fakhoury, 38, is part of a contingent of people who say mining bitcoins at home can be profitable and provide them free heat. As the skyrocketed and hit $11,000 last Wednesday, he woke up in a heated room and found his machines made $60, or 0.0026 bitcoin, while costing just $6 in electricity in a day, according to calculations on. Like gold, the quantity of bitcoins is finite. Out of a planned supply cap of 21 million bitcoins, 16.7 million have been mined as of November 2017.

Jun 13, 2016 - Here's a video of Genesis setting up a new Icelandic farm.

Profits and heat from home mining In this digital gold rush, miners no longer need to travel to California or use shovels to dig into the ground. People like Fakhoury can just put printer-shaped ASIC mining machines in their garages or basements and plug them in; codes running on the machines create new bitcoins by solving complex mathematical computations, which also generates a great deal of heat. (It’s like how your laptop sometimes overheats, but much more so.) The world’s largest manufacturer of bitcoin mining equipment is Bitmain, based in China. Fakhoury now runs two Bitmain S9 bitcoin mining machines in a five-foot-tall box in his basement, and he plans to add one more when it gets colder. Each machine consumes about 1400 Watts per hour, similar to an average space heater.

The average electricity cost in his town is 0.06 per kWh, and last month his electric bill was about $450. It’s $250 more than when he used a heater, but he says the expense has been offset by the proceeds from his mining. (Bitcoin miners are.) “I haven’t paid for heat for three years,” Fakhoury says. “I would suggest people put half of their bitcoin investment into mining and half into purchasing the coins. That way you hedge yourself in both directions.” In 2015, when he first started mining, he initially spent $1,200 on machines. He says it wasn’t profitable yet for him since the price of bitcoin was only around $300.

As, so have his proceeds. Besides bitcoins, he now also runs graphics cards to mine, the token of the, which runs on its own blockchain.

Ether is another red-hot cryptocurrency — its value is up more than 5,000% this year. Home mining is not for everyone. Rahdi Fakhoury runs bitcoin mining machines in the basement to heat his house in North Carolina. (Rahdi Fakhoury) More Despite free heat and potential profit, mining bitcoins at home is not for everyone.

For one thing, it’s a difficult process to set up. Noise is also a big issue — the whirring machines bother Fakhoury’s wife, even though the former building worker has added a filter to the box that holds the machines. (Just watch the above video; they’re extremely loud.) In summer days, it could cost too much to cool them down, so he stops running them when it’s hotter than 90 ºF. And buying the machines, which cost more than $1,000, can be tricky. Bitmain, the leading seller, only accepts bitcoin cash (), a derivative of bitcoin. It takes months to receive your machine, due to recent high demand. If you want it sooner, the equipment is also available on eBay, where it’s marked up by thousands of dollars.

Those who don’t want to mine at home may opt for remote mining, which means they pay a fee for a hosting company to cover maintenance and electricity costs. They can also choose cloud mining by purchasing their own fraction of the mining power of hardware that is owned by a cloud mining services provider. Genesis Mining, for example, runs large-scale mining farms in Iceland and sells mining power through contracts. Aaron Duell, an IT worker from Allegany, New York, says he did the math and believes mining at home brings him more profit and control than the other options. He just spent $1,700 on his second bitcoin mining machine, which he expects to receive from China in late January. Along with his current machine, which makes about $800 a month in a good month, he plans to use both to heat his garage this winter.

As an investor in the stock market, Duell found the idea of mining fascinating. “You can’t just create your [stock] shares,” he says, “whereas mining, you buy the machine and the machine can create more bitcoins for you.” For these home miners, it’s not just the houses that have been heated up, but also their confidence in the future of the cryptocurrency — despite assertions from some big-name doubters that bitcoin is a bubble set to burst. “We’re actually in very early days of bitcoins,” Fakhoury says. “I have faith in its long-term value.” — Krystal Hu is a reporter at Yahoo Finance.

MarketWatch With the market providing strong extensions over the last several months, we had to review our shorter-term targets for the bull market which began in 2009.

During this past week, almost every bounce we saw was corrective in nature, which mainly kept me viewing the market as being in a weak posture, signaling that we will likely test the 2796 level on the S&P 500(^GSPC). While it seems I may have wrongly given the bull market the benefit of the doubt last weekend, as the pullback we expected has now broken below the 2800 region support we cited last weekend, this break of support makes the much stronger immediate bullish expectation much less likely. FX Empire A lack of regulatory oversight has enabled the crypto media to report unverified news that saw the cryptomarket cap fall to just $348bn on Friday, with Bitcoin Cash’s market cap rising from Friday’s $16.91bn low to $21.5bn at the time of writing, as investor money returned to the table. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was down 1.59% to $1,253.80, with cryptocurrencies having a tendency to retreat during the latter part of the weekend. The cryptocurrency weekend rally materialized, but the gains were less substantial and Bitcoin Cash’s 4.8% gain from Saturday looks at risk of unravelling. Reuters Boeing Co must decide by the end of this week whether to take part in a multi-billion-dollar race to supply Canada with fighter jets, even as the U.S. Company's relationship with Ottawa has soured due to a trade dispute.

Although a U.S. Trade commission on Jan. 26 dismissed Boeing's complaint that Canadian plane maker Bombardier was dumping airliners on the American market, it is far from certain the ruling will be enough to placate Canada. Boeing has until Feb. 9 to express an interest in taking part in the Canadian jet competition, failing which it will be excluded from the bidding process. Bloomberg U.S.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller defended his authority to prosecute former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and argued in court papers that Manafort improperly seeks to use a civil lawsuit to secure dismissal of his money laundering indictment. Mueller’s prosecutors urged a judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit attacking an Oct. 27 indictment charging that Manafort, a political consultant, failed to register as an agent of the Ukrainian government and laundered millions of dollars before he worked on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Motley Fool Since 1972, the stocks of companies that increased their payout each year generated a total average annual return of 9.9% while those that didn't pay one only returned about 2.4% per year, according to a study by Ned Davis Research.

Global oil and gas giant Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A)(NYSE: RDS-B) formed Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE: SHLX) in late 2014 as a master limited partnership (MLP) to operate, develop, and acquire pipelines and other midstream infrastructure to support Shell's U.S. Since that time, Shell has slowly dropped down portions of its midstream assets to Shell Midstream Partners, which has significantly grown the company's cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Time The pilot resisted being captured and fired at the militants who then shot and killed him, according to one of the militants and Syrian monitors. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the downing of the Su-25 and said the pilot was killed in fighting with “terrorists.” A report on the ministry’s Zvezda TV said preliminary information indicated the plane was shot by a portable ground-to-air missile in an area under control of al-Qaida’s branch in Syria. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the plane was downed on Saturday afternoon near the rebel-held town of Sarqeb, which Syrian troops have been trying to take under the cover of Russian airstrikes.

Time Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page bragged that he was an adviser to the Kremlin in a letter obtained by TIME that raises new questions about the extent of Page’s contacts with the Russian government over the years. The letter, dated Aug. 25, 2013, was sent by Page to an academic press during a dispute over edits to an unpublished manuscript he had submitted for publication, according to an editor who worked with Page. Page is at the center of a controversial memo from Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, released this week.

To me it all depends on why you want to do it. I see better returns on just buying the most undervalued coins at the time and picking up a lot of burst if the price is right and also holding some btc. But I'm not big into mining, I get more of a thrill from trading/holding/patience. I like studying charts I know what u are saying, i also do some trades(even i am not good at previsions, charts, candle sticks etc.) and i have some money invested in altcoins. For me, the problem with altcoins is that I never feel to sell and i never have cash money. I always think I should wait more and more and more and fuck that.

S9 miners in january or early next year may have hard times to roi. Since last june the diff increased about 50% and was already really high before. If you can grab some cheap ones (1200$ or less) this is no question to do. On the bitmains cloud mining site the current maintance is less than 16% of the earnings, but you pay about 5400$ for a full miner. So buying and running own hardware shall be comparable maintance costs. However, this is not bitmain making the prices. Gpu Siacoin SC Mining Rates.

This is the market making the prices. If you buy hardware buy a bit less and take the money to extend the time you can hold your minings. The 7nm asic tech is really tough to announce and for me it is not clear wether they can deliver. They are maybe able to tell you they have a 7nm asic running but if this works correctly is hard to tell.

I have seen their announcement last month and thought the good thing about it is that people still invest into mining technology. The northern europe site they mention in your link to run their farm in is propably the old knc facility. Knc was the first company which delivered always but still went bankrupt somehow.

If you really want to invest i would not really be afraid of those 7nm guys announcing a new chip which more than halfs the structure size the s9 has because we do not know what bitmain offers at those times. With all crypto the good thing is that almost no coin you mine makes any roi if you sell it directly so only farms dump to pay fees which are their earnings.

Mining hardware on the other hand blocks funds, produces costant costs and involves many risks to run on your own (isp downtime, malfunction, monitoring stress, heat problems on hot days, customs transfer).
