Thanks for all the ideas! First a few questions about the mifi -
Aside from the mining, I tend to spend most of the day connected to client sites (one at a time) via a VPN link. I have no idea how much data this uses though as I can't really factor it out from the general household use. If I was to get a mifi set up with pre-loaded Sim cards, how much should I buy to start with and is it going to be realistic to work over a VPN? How long does the battery last?
I must say, I quite like the idea of packing my laptop and mifi and spending an afternoon in the park
@Drastic - I am well into the meditation now funny enough! I had to look up what an indo board was though. Interesting idea, how is it working for you?
@Littleman - Already on the case with the providers
The bitcoin mining is good fun. I'm not going to say that I am making money because I am in for the long term. I am not saying being in for the long term is a good idea either! However, I have learned loads about hardware, Linux, cabling, heat and sound management. I have also taught my 11 & 12 yr olds how to build a computer and my 6 yr old how to use Putty to log on to my miners and check the GPU temperatures. The only real downside is that I have suspicious neighbors now that I get daily deliveries and have strange lights and fans running in my garage. I am expecting a police drugs raid any day.
