Bitcoin water heater
Having said that, Comino, which runs a customized version of Ubuntu, can easily be modified for tasks other than mining. Indeed, Vlasov told us Comino often gets enqiuiries from researchers, involved with high-intensity computing tasks, who are interested in re-purposing the machine for other uses. The reason for that is not strictly the components housed inside its metallic case, but its efficient and sturdy build quality.
Vlasov and Knyazev too are first to admit that the real value in Comino — as far as hardware goes at least — is in the proprietary components that connect all the GPUs packed inside the crypto-miner. As Vlasov explains, unlike home-made miners, which tend to be rather bulky in size and often make very loud noises, the Comino was designed to be much more discrete and accommodating.
It was also equipped with proprietary water-cooling system that Vlasov and Knyazev claim will keep the machine alive for years — a lifespan much longer than that of most home-made mining rigs. In fact, the noise is so low that at one point Knyazev worryingly misidentified the sound from the little fish aquarium we have in our office with that of the Comino. Indeed, the crypto-heater is less noisy than an aquarium. Here are a couple videos that will give you a better idea about the cacophony home-built miners cause:.
In addition to its proprietary water-cooling system, the device also comes with a slew of custom-made components — like cables, connectors and risers — to ensure the longevity of the device. Vlasov estimates that the compendium of little touches like these ought to keep the miner up-and-running for at least five to 10 years. All of this oomph amounts to about 1kW of power consumption per hour. Make sure to check your local electricity rates to get an idea of how much that will add up to your energy bills.
The contraption stands And this is precisely what we did. As easy as this. Of course, if you already have a wallet, you still have the option to connect it to the dashboard. You can also connect any other mining rig to the Comino dashboard, in case you want to follow all of your mining efforts in one place. It also shows stats for the temperature of each separate GPU.
