That is why we are talking about Solar Energy to be used for mining; old computers do also have CPU, we do not need any special way for it, just wisit the pool/block site and start mining.

But dont you think it will be more profitable if one has an old desktop or pC to mine than buying an old pc, secondly like how many satoshi do you get per hour of mining of uniterupted power supply

I cannot risk my present "mini laptop" for this, but I used it for some monero mining only. I have an old laptop, but it is not catching WiFi any more, it runs on Vista, and it's DVD not working; so unable to use it for mining. And finally I yet have to use solar energy for it.

If one get an old PC to mine coins for how long does the pc last?, while mining is ongoing if there is interuption in power supply does it have effect on the progress of the mining?

Depends of cooling system and processor. Since energy is free it would be better use half CPU capacity and mining little longer. That way CPU would longer last.

This is my first time hearing of this. How do you actually go about purchasing solar panels? How many of that do you need to supply your household's need plus the energy needed for mining?

Where did you sell monero? I was thinking putting javascript for mining Monero on my sites but I don't know what wallet use and where to sell it.

Initial invest on solarpanels could be used on more miners. I think electricity is just a part of the math sum and most miners dont really think about green energy. Maybe in the very long term it is more profitable but a miner needs to split his budget and solarpanels are expensive. Not really the first choice.

I use Coinpot miner. Can redeem to a lot of wallets. It is easier to sell Bitcoin or other coins.

Depends on how big is house hold, how many device you have, their powers supply. You need to calculate how much voltage you need to get enough current.

Actually mining is getting over and recent price drop is happening due to no easy block available. We cannot depend on mining now. Although more can come in a little, but POW coins and mining will nor remain popular much; but we can still use solar panel and old PC for any next start.

We cannot depend on mining Bitcoin or all cryptocurrencies? I was thinking maybe do some mining monero using my sites and sell it for $.

Mining monero is also possible in same manner, but it costs less power than bitcoin, so it is more affordable to mine monero; however this time only mymonero wallet is available, or you have to use some exchanging platforms to receive monero and then exchance them to fiat currency or any other crypto that can be exchanged to fiat currencies.

Ok. Thanks for info. I will think more about exploiting visitors for mining. Maybe I will put more ads on my site for better income.

I don't know how good would be to put Monero mining on your sites,as some visitors might not return to your site,if they notice it.I have noticed that on a movie site,and don't returned to it.Well,you can put a notification about monero mining on your site.

With green energy you are never in a loss. Lets say you buy solar panels or wind turbines so you can mine bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies. You are basically doing it for free and it can be really effective even if the ROI is slow. In case it doesn't work out for you, you can always use green energy for powering your home ^^

You are absolutely correct my friend. Solar energy is totally free and you aren't at a loss. If you aren't successful at mining, you can easily Chanel the energy else where in your home.

This is not true that solar energy is totally free. It is green and renewable energy, yet it will require us to built solar panel to generate energy. It will also have to maintained regularly as we will generate it. Using it for mining cryptocurrencies will need more generate of energy.

It's not complete free. You need to invest in panels (not cheap), computers, cooling system. After everything you paid of, than it's go profit. Not before.

Solar Energy however can be used if one can afford the cost for long term earnings and cane earn much more revenue; using a computer under simple generation can also be used.

Mining requires very high consumption of electricity so its actually very nice idea to use solar panels. Though solar panels are also not cheap but its one time investment and you can enjoy for a longer period of time.

If mining and cryptocurrencies totaly broke, than you can use solar panels for heating water or entire house. That could be reserve plan and it's good investition.

Wow! Well to be honest I would never think of mining bitcoins with solar energy, but as far as I can see it looks like a good idea, but you really have to make some precise calculations to be able to profit from this, and it will probably require some budget to start with.
