Pink I have an ice making machine which runs during the middle of day. My chest freezer is on a timer that switches off at night. Any other load shifting you can do.

ChaiyaTH Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Mine crypto with the difference in energy if you otherwise waste it anyway, might be the most simple way to use it. I don't know how much you have. Growing weed is worth it too, even if you would sell it at 50 baht a gram, as of no energy costs. If you have quite a bit of energy and can afford a Bitcoin antminer for up to 2K dollar, you would actually be able to cash daily 10-20 dollars.

Would not start with anything else, just do that, and even sit on the coin you collect as the price isn't that high now. It's kind of sad in a way, just to have this with solar, can be better than a fulltime job as a Thai. Edited October 4, 2023 by ChaiyaTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have some links and details to share? Feel free to share here or PM me with any info you have to share. Pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already gave you the essential clues: ant miner up to 2K usd, bitcoin, no energy cost. The reason so few people make money, or make money with this, is because almost nobody is willing to invest some time into doing the research that is relevant to their specific situation, let alone to then also act on it. You can do it clearly, so do it, you will be happy in just 6-12 months already (will break even the cost). A few cents is when you mess around with a graphic card driver and also have to pay the average western rate of energy. Not comparable. If you assume it's break even in 8 months, and it lasts 12 months, you make 4 months money with 200-300 dollar per month, not sure your hourly rate, but sure that can deserve some time to invest into the matter to know. And it can easily run a few years. Edited October 4, 2023 by ChaiyaTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink It is a check freezer - so it’s a big size. I packed the bottom with large boxes of water, which froze solid after that I setup the timer. The ice boxes act as a cold sink to hold the temperature during the night. An upright freezer the cold air falls out when you open the door. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink This is the one I ordered- it was on promotion at the time. I drink a lot of water so nice to have the ice. Even the dogs like it. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.PhmxN Edited October 4, 2023 by Bandersnatch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
