As some of you might know, I am doing small-time mining. I mine using old Android devices. Some devices don't really do much, but it still give a tiny boost to the overall hashrate.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been handed old devices from friends, and I am now up to 8 devices that are mining constantly. I set up the last device today and it is mining away already.
Besides the P8 lite I have gotten 2 other Huawei devices - P20 lite and Mediapad T5 (a tablet) - and a Sony xperia (oldie!).
The 4 newest devices, according to CheckPool:
| Device | Hashrate |
|---|---|
| P8 lite | 2,81 Mh/s |
| P20 lite | 3,13 Mh/s |
| Mediapad T5 | 3,83 Mh/s |
| xperia | 1,25 Mh/s |
According to the pool I'm mining in (connected to, or whatever it's called) it's slightly different:
| Device | Hashrate |
|---|---|
| P8 lite | 3,13 Mh/s |
| P20 lite | 4,69 Mh/s |
| Mediapad T5 | 3,16 Mh/s |
| xperia | 2,19 Mh/s |
My average total hashrate is currently at
| Timeframe | Hashrate |
|---|---|
| current / NOW | 23,96 Mh/s |
| 2 hour | 25,80 Mh/s |
| 24 hour | 18,85 |
It is worth noting, that the newest device is set up about 3 hours ago 😁
Of course, reaching this "farm" level mining comes with issues.
Surprisingly I have no heating issues at all. I don't have any fans to cool the devices, they just stay stable at no more than 36° Celcius. The tablets is better and stay below 35° at all times until now at least. Have been mining for well over 6 months, at the very least. Possibly more - my memory isn't really that good 😐
Now, this is a minor issue. I am out of cables and adaptors now (could use 2 adaptors more for my cables).
I simply have no room for anymore devices to be plugged in. I'll be getting this sorted soon.
I have the devices laying around like...
Yeah, you get the idea.
I can't decide on how to position them to make room for more and also make it a prettier setup.
I'm thinking some sort of cabinet or similar to stack them in.
If you have any ideas then let me know. I'll appreciate it a lot 😃
Look closely and you can see that there's no more room for adaptors 😆
