how about the temperature ? i don't see any fan or ventilation, even chia/bitaxe has a small fan even though it's low watt to

[@novicracker1980]

@TheHobbyistMiner I would be mounting it in a 14x10x04 ABS Plastic Weatherproof Indoor/Outdoor IP24 NEMA 3R Enclosure. There is enough room for 2 miners in it and I can mount the box off the ground and under my back porch that gets sunshine all day long.

[@thehonestcarpenter9172]

Love your channel! For the best results, angle the panel south for full sun exposure from sunrise to sunset. Be sure to seal any roof protrusions with Henry 208R Roof Cement or polyurethane sealant and wall penetrations with GE Silicone II for a weather-tight finish. Can’t wait to see the setup in action!

[@novicracker1980]

@@thehonestcarpenter9172 He said he is putting it on the wall outside near the roofs over hanging ledge with a mount. But good advise.

[@Howitzer77]

A few kilometers from the sun haha

[@ccplz7137]

some objective criticism here: the solar panel feels like a gimmick. 20 watts solar panel? really? 20 watts of energy consumption would cost you 1.4 dollars per month at 0.1$ kwh price. that is essentially free on its own. in fact most depin miners consume next to no power as they aren't really doing the traditional type of mining(doing very complex calculations) that requires huge amounts of processing power. the only part that is admittedly clever is not needing a power outlet if you put this on your rooftop. aside from that, what's inside the box? a 20w solar panel(20 dollars), a raspberry pi(~100 dollars) and a battery (not sure on the capacity so no clue on the price). how much does that cost to manufacture? surely not 740 dollars or anywhere close to it. idk, in the end, maybe the project will skyrocket and it ends up being worth it. or maybe not. personally i'll pass because of the huge discrepancy between manufacturing price and sale price

[@jakestanton6855]

50 H battery is about $75

[@OddInfection]

You can also say the exact same thing regarding every asic miner ever made. $99 for a new KD BOX 2 or $$$$ for a profitable coin.

[@GodfathersGhost]

I hate to break it to you, but that's how all consumer products are done. I'm not a big fan of it, but watch a couple episodes of "Shark Tank" and you'll see that they consider around 20-30% cost to MSRP the norm, i.e., a $10 product cost $2-3 to produce. At least this one pays you back over time, unlike every single item at your local store.

[@KatherynInc.]

Now I know why I am laughing at this video!!!

[@christopherhuffman7160]

this is a scam

[@williampowell5350]

this wreaks of my Helium miner that $600 and at first paid a decent amount a month and now is a doorstop

[@OFFGRID_Trucker]

Yeah.. similar to my Bobcat 300 and the Helium network. JOKE..!

[@madelectronengineering]

I'm all for small miners, but I checked the whitepaper, and it doesn't list any mining algorithm, and if it's acting as a validator for the blockchain, that usually requires some form of storage, ssd...etc... also they have it priced over $700 for this unit, the solar panel is worth $20 new, battery is less then $20 being a cheap 12v 5AH battery, and the circuit boards maybe $100. Way too much inflation in price for a glorified arm cpu, a small solar panel and a small lead acid battery. Sorry but this project sketches me out. You can probably just connect 12v to the power port and the battery becomes a battery backup instead of solar.

[@dallas11573]

You listed the price of the components but failed to acknowledge the payback. Interesting. Going by your analysis I should only pay $6000 for the boat I’ve ordered instead of $52,000.

[@MrRacerhacker]

I agree, as soon as i saw inside and also the 20w solar panel, what a joke, just a arm cpu, low and slow as well with 4.8W mining power or whatever

[@susanstreet1]

😢

[@moodymo8670]

that solar panel only cost here 50 php in phillipines. hahaha 1$

[@terosma]

How many decades it takes to pay for $740 with mined profits?

[@Danilodtm]

lets say: panel=$50, battery=$30, electronics=$100, casing=$30, labor=$?, I don't see how this costs $750. It is interesting nonetheless.

[@BTCWZRD]

The costs you listed make sense if you’re making something for yourself at home. But, with this being a business you have to consider labor, tax, licensing, ad, shipping, custom hardware manufacturing and a bunch of other costs. Running a legit business isn’t cheap.

[@demolishedmembrane]

Ur both right and its a little cheaper then that to build even labor would be cheap. Yes shipping licenses batteries all a pain but not anything special looking there so about 1.9 watts to send a long range wifi signal back to the house idk. 1.9 watts is just the system saying hi im right here lol if there not actually running on its own blockchain and feeding power back the house actually helping the whole system, whats the point. This is going to fizz out to more garbage and usless shit in ur shed in the end. Sorry great idea bad follow thru. For me I'm out. Do a little homework on what ur actually paying 750 for and where does this go, to sell pressure thats where lol good luck.

[@vipercrazy]

Buddy, you're gonna be pissed when you find out how the economy works. 😂

[@Danilodtm]

@@vipercrazy if you say so

[@Deadrabbits1]

Same with the Tesla's Battery, Tires , Sheet metal , then it cost 84,000 😂😂😂

[@Nate-jw9wd]

I would install it at my dad’s. He lives off the grid on solar power only and lives off of social security payments.

[@FBPrepping]

Sounds like a good business. Get three of them and with the current price of their token (which very likely could go up) it is already 300$ per month. Set and forget, and in 8 months you'll be getting profits.

[@kryptonitrous]

So what is it actually "mining"? What is the solar power used for? You get paid for the amount of energy it creates, but where is that energy going? Even at 4 Watts is it just using that to run the sensors mentioned in the whitepaper?

[@ccplz7137]

I think it's just a node with a solar panel gimmick to justify the 740$ pricetag.

[@benmilner9672]

The energy comes from the battery, the solar panel charges the battery.

[@jonathanrickard237]

I hate to say it but this feels like a scam to me. Computing power and electrical power are linked, and efficiency tends to be fairly flat within a generation of devices (you might see 2x efficiency within a generation but you won't see 50x), a 2w SolarX miner device must have relatively less computing power than for example an IceRiver ASIC at 100w. The payouts either cannot be sustainable and will be massively cut back, or they aren't real. I hope they aren't selling high-margin devices and simply paying out a portion of the sale price back to miners to make it look like profit.

[@DjMines]

I would put my solar x next to my geodnet. Which is held up by an old toilet :)

[@KatherynInc.]

lol

[@GarryWason]

What is the purpose of this miner? No project description anywhere.

[@SuperHunteeReacts]

I really want this, if I get it, I am going to place it in my shed in my backyard, since it has no power, but it gets lots of sun!

[@MSJNin7]

Where do you install this SolarX ?

[@przemysawbrodzik169]

So explain me again you connect a miner to a solar panel, which is not actually producing electricity to the network and you get paid? For what?

[@KatherynInc.]

lol

[@JourneytoaBetterLife]

Exactly.. video is "WTF is a "SOLAR MINER" and Why is it so PROFITABLE!"... didn't answer either for someone that's never heard of such a thing.. wtf is a solar miner? and... why is it so profitable?...

[@TheSpidersoftheworld]

You place the solar panel in a sunny location. Plug it up to the miner. Hook up internet. Set pool and you are mining from the sun.

[@Bucklawrence]

Thanks for the review. Its low wattage leaves me with questions about how profitable it can be. But by the end of the week, hopefully you will show us your experience. I would install it in my office, next to a window, where I can monitor the sun exposure outside here in Florida. Did I miss the hashrate?

[@steveswallow5440]

I would install it next to my Apartment balcony to collect the sunlight, the box would go inside my TV cabinet next to it then we'd have a mining rig in the southern hemisphere powered by the Aussie sunshine to expand the network across the globe. The future's bright, the future's SolarX

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

What about if one already have solar installed? Is it a must to use the solar pnael it came with?

[@jamierobertson1676]

I live in the south and get a lot of direct sunlight at home. I also build sheds from Tuff Shed. I like your setup and have a 12x16 building with 8ft walls. I have a large backyard that’s secured. Loved the video and the product! Thanks for sharing !!

[@jerkychew899]

You're better off building your own setup for far cheaper.

This was a great help! I’m exploring wallet mining myself and sharing my findings on my channel. Keep up the awesome work!

[@valm0r]

I'm looking forward to your next video; keep up the great work!

[@DavidSelf3]

How much heat is coming out of it? I'm always looking for heat sources at my off grid cabin...

[@paulisrael5296]

I have a large flat roof to the rear of my property which gets sun most of the day! I've never mined before and this rig looks perfect. Love your sho Paul (Swansea Wales UK)

[@Molygnant]

Big thanks for sharing @The Hobbyist Miner. I would probably end up placing it in the corner of my living room. It's like a piece of art and should be shown off. It would also be ideal as we have sun year round and less than 5 days of rain where I'm at.

[@Riverwalk2022]

Nice. Thanks for the through review. I've never heard of this miner. I'm blown away by it. Looking forward to installing it on my home studio. 😊

[@invictogermanius3021]

hey interesting project, i wanna install it on my garage. it only mine when sun comes in ? or what happens if the sky is dark over weeks ?

[@mister.beastly]

That's so awesome. Once I can afford something like this I'd sure like to get a few. Thanks for the vid and the awesome info. I just "Liked & Subscribed" :)

[@gmoney78]

I would definitely mount it on my covered back deck- the room is just outside my office window. Quick Question: could you install a larger panel on it now or in the future or is that the capacity the battery can handle? Either way a solar powered miner is such a great idea- electric costs in my area are 3 times the national average!

[@Dogalot1]

I was wondering the same thing about a larger solar panel. Would it accept more wattage and what would be the results? Or would it damage it?

[@frankhaertel3558]

Hello. On my roof. I have enough Sun here in Mexico. That's its an really good Start for me, being a Miner. Thanks and Regards from Mexico

[@sandrasandymanning4354]

What is the weight of this unit?

[@ajee5529]

That will be awesome here in Nigeria. Many Nigerians will seriously want this as it can work directly on solar panel without external inverter

[@MrCDub]

I am going to install it on the South side of my house on the covered porch pole. Face that sun all day long!

[@mikemiranda1074]

I would install this next to the resin printer. Some pitfalls on the solar setup. 1. Winter months, might increase your battery bank due to cloudy days. 2. Do some research on where to point your solar panel, some might think this is common sense, you would be surprised. How many watts can this build handle?

[@SuperFoodBusiness]

I would install this SolarX miner on my existing solar shed where my off-grid solar array is located! Thank you for the awesome information! 🎉🌞⚡️

[@Evanator22742]

Mannnn. Thats awesome. I saw it before, but just couldn't swing the cost. Yeah... Even under a grand lol I have a tiny section of roof right outside my window that gets daylight most of the day. Seems perfect. Thanks, man!

[@FAPPJAPPDAPP]

I will install it where the sun shines all day :) - thank you for a nice video and opening my old eyes for Solar Mining. gj

[@bebowld]

Thanks for giving back. I will give this to my son, to get him familiar with the concept. We will install it on our shed, just as ulyou did, in one is the side walls. Fingers crossed!

[@troylove7572]

That's so cool! that's definitely going in my shed if I win, thanks for the video, been wanting to do some solar mining, I've never heard of this miner.

[@Skiddy1963]

I would install The Solar X on my back deck facing south. Computer room inside would house the unit. Is this an income taxable hobby ?

[@kevinmumper9739]

That looks amazing. I’m not a miner…yet. This looks like a great beginner system. As long as the panel is sturdy, $3 per day would be amazing.

[@MariaRosa-sx9lg]

I have solar panels and all the equipment to setup my solar system in my backyard (bought the generator, 220 volt solar panels, controller, etc. and was going to set up a station in an air conditioned shed outside). With that said I am fairly new to mining so this would be a great opportunity to have a solar miner to go along with my setup.. It is so cool that this even exists and would be so cool to win this and start my journey with this awesome miner that goes along with my equipment... Thank you for offing this and for all you do @TheHobbyistMiner. Also a special thank you to your awesome donor... I am grateful to be entering for all I am learning, for the contest and grateful you are offering even offering this... Wishing the best to everyone entering and looking forward to tomorrow's contest!!

[@murphcris]

I'm a newbie to the crypto mining and I'm looking for some suggestions where do I start?? And if I would start with something like this, would obviously be on the side of a shed and the solar panel on the side.

[@stergi_kub]

im from Greece,we have got plenty of sun,I will install it on my roof and will be my first miner.Good job informing us

[@pierrefortier6545]

Is it wifi? You didn't show how to do the programming, is it complicated? I would install it in my garage. That would be great!! Thanks!!

[@ronsouther2469]

No electrical costs, I'm in! I would install this on my back deck. Easy wiring access to my mining cellar from there. Thanks, Hobbyist, for educating us on these new projects.

[@MegaBloubulle]

I'm in sunny South Africa's Bushveld living off grid. I will install it next to my solar panels on the porch overlooking the mountains. It might encourage me to do mining full time?

[@TCDIXON]

been looking for a solar miner solutions for years can u mine using your own hardware ?

[@jminnee]

I have a crypto solar shed for three years now. These days I am running three Iceriver Ks0 miners pure on solar power. So putting this SolarX miner in my shed is a no brainer. 😊

[@judethedude9542]

I already have solar panels on my roof. So, a SolarX miner would be a cool addition. I would definitely mount this in my backyard shed that gets great sunlight. Thanks THM!!

This video motivated me to invest in my first cryptocurrency!

[@martinb.5564]

Hi, love your channel. Now subscribed. This is very interesting to me. I have always wanted to get into mining but didn’t because of the power consumption. I now live in Florida on the inter coastal river. I had solar panels put on my house to supply my whole house. The system was too small so I installed 11 more solar panels on my boat house roof that is literally on the water. After 12 months of monitoring, the production of the panels on the house and on the boat house, the boat house panels regularly produce 25% more power then do the roof panels. Btw, all panels face the same way south. If I get this solar miner, I’m going to install it on the boat house and see if having more solar power going to the miner will affect its mining. I will post the results on this channel to let all subscribers know if positioning the solar panel near let’s say a koi pond or bird bath in their yard will yield more power. Interesting. Hope I win.

[@toddhaynes703]

Great video! I am brand new to crypto mining (have not even started) but not to solar and crypto itself. Now that Solar X has combined the two, I will be exploring the crypto mining much more. I have always heard that there is a high electrical demand in mining so I have not explored it much. Now that there is this option I would love to start with this setup. If I did happen to win the Solar X giveaway, I would take your inspiration of the mining shed (as I already have a shed with the mower in it that gets full sun most of the day) and start my mining adventure. I'm sure either way win or lose I will be in touch in the future as I have many questions on the entire process. Good luck everyone!

[@Ripvo]

First I would like to say, that you deliver when it comes to content. You mentioned all we had to do is say where we would put the miner. I actually would probably have it on my roof with my Helium IoT and Wifi Hotspot! I love most mining projects and DePins as well. Mining is a lifestyle. Keep it up -- and congrats to whoever may the winner be! 👍

[@juancervantes9858]

First and foremost I want to thank you for your work and expertise in crypto mining. I wish I got involved in this at the end of last Bull cycle, and I'm getting started a little late in mining. Your channel has helped me the in and out of mining. I've been researching heavily the past 48 hours in mining and understand the difference in pool vs solo mining. As for me I would mount this facing the the east as that is where my front door on a elevated platform at an angle. And would drill a small hole so the wires can go through by the side of my door properly sealed, much better than door damaging wire underneath. Thanks for this video.

[@rbonh99]

First time on this channel! Thanks for the great content! What a cool project! It's safe to say everyone dreams of having more passive income, and with technology that's better for the planet, it's a win-win. I can really see a positive movement for something like this, even in developing countries around the world. ☀️ Mounting it on the south-facing window of the apartment will get sunshine all day.
