In my opinion, this article brings crazy, crazy curiosities about mining looking for how to obtain cryptocurrencies in a different way and of course in a non-optimal way. Since all conventional "Mining" equipment requires large investments, many miners are looking for different ways to save resources. In this way I have collected some of the most unusual types of mining that have been found on the market.
For example, a user in the group Facebook Tesla Owners Worldwide said he is mining cryptocurrency by plugging into the outlet of a Tesla charging station. The company offers electric vehicle owners free recharging at branded charging stations.
The miner said he created a mini-farm directly in the trunk of his car and left the car charged overnight. It is true that not everyone believed his stories.Skeptics say that if you leave the car mining overnight, then in the morning there will be an incredible temperature in the trunk.
Another car miner was found in Novosibirsk, Russia. Vladislav Barashenkov set up a farm powered by a generator. He posted the assembly process on his own Youtube channel «Garage 54", where he usually shows various experiments with cars. He connected the farm to a car's generator via a voltage inverter. But due to the small capacity, the productivity of the mining farm is small.
A team of scientists learned to extract energy from human heatScientists have come up with a special suit for this. But the invention cannot be taken seriously yet. The creators say that the project has become more of an art installation than a way to earn money. Over the course of 212 hours of the experiment, 37 people collected a total of 127,210 milliwatts of electricity and mined 16,954 units of different cryptocurrencies. 80% of the profits were divided among the participants in the experiment, and the rest was transferred to the institute.
You can mine using old mobile phonesA Bitcoin mining farm was created out of 40 old Galaxy S5s. It runs on a new operating system that Samsung has developed specifically for this initiative. The developers who made this discovery say that eight Galaxy S5s can mine more efficiently than a standard desktop computer.
Mining gameThere is another way to mine using a mobile phone, but it is illegal. Cybercriminals mine cryptocurrency using viruses in mobile games. For this, special software is provided. When you start the game, you get the cryptocurrency. Magi for the game developer, and rewards the user with in-game currency for this. The user launches the program of his own free will, therefore it is not considered harmful, but the person does not always realize that the mining program causes the smartphone to wear out.
