Mining Ethereum in a Hotel Room

It's a sweltering $2k a month in my hotel room, so I feel ya anon. A 1600W open heater, I keep my door cracked for convective airflow across the rig and out the window, actually works pretty good. I also have a portable AC for summer (don't pay for electricity living in a hotel).

A 4chan-style screenshot shows an anonymous poster describing cryptocurrency mining in an expensive hotel room, using a 1600W heater and leaving the door open for airflow while running a portable air conditioner in summer. The joke is the absurd attempt to hide the rig’s enormous electricity use and avoid paying for power, turning improvised hotel-room mining into a bizarrely resourceful scheme.
