Analyst from San Francisco hacking Tesla for mining ether – Bits Media

The story with farms in the trunk of an electric car was continued. Cryptoblogger Siraj Raval managed to get a small, but stable profit from mining in your Tesla.

Cryptocurrency enthusiast Siraj Raval
managed to turn his car Tesla Model 3 2018 year in Ethereum production station. Unlike previous "Teslomainers", He hacked the computer of the car himself and tried to launch mining on his processor, But then he returned to the "traditional" version with video cards.

To do this, he needed an Apple Mac Mini M1 and a socket. The first-handor innovator was not afraid of the prospect of losing a guarantee on the car, Although he earned on mining in 2021 Maximum year 800 dollars a month.

"This is a computer on wheels ... it was not difficult to hack it", – Raval boasts.

To Ravalya, More in 2018 year, Mining on the built -in computer Tesla was launched by Chris Aleess. He tried different superstructures, and even launched a mining program through a built -in browser, but he could not get some significant amount stable. And in 2017 year another owner of Model S simply installed a graphic cards farm in the trunk, Having frightened it from the battery of the car.

Raval united both approaches, And besides the auto computer, he uses five more video cards. And Tesla is mainly used as a convenient source of energy with cooling. Another miner Thomas Somers counts, that there is no need for "dancing" with hacking. Technically Tesla can immediately give out good power in 100 kilowatt.

How profitable it is to minute with Tesla? Matters, When the car was bought. for instance, Allesey purchased his car until January 2017 years and got into a special program, According to the conditions of which he could unlimitedly charge his car during the entire service life. According to his estimates, in 2018 year for a 60-hour mining session, he would work 10 dollars, And this would be considered net profit due to zero electricity costs. But at the same time, the battery wear was very accelerated, And ultimately mining would only bring losses.

Another thing - 2021 year. Cryptocurrency prices have grown noticeably and “kill” their Tesla is no longer so shameful. Now Raval spends from 30 to 60 dollars a month for recharging a car. And on mining in 2021 earned from 400 to 800 dollars. But on one Tesla you can't go far. Raval has long and seriously engaged in mining, regularly buying video cards and other equipment on eBay.
