Bitcoin Mining Shoes in 4 Minutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2022
- Today I am open sourcing the hardware & software for my Bitcoin Mining running shoes. In this tutorial, I explain how to build the shoe hardware using about $10 in equipment, then how to program the shoe to mine bitcoin. We need more miners for the Bitcoin network that power their internet computers using renewable energy! This helps make the network more decentralized and secure without harming the planet. For example, some Bitcoin miners power their computers on top of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion rigs located in isolated areas, with no need for billion dollar wires to route the energy back to land. Others will someday build a giant solar satellite to capture the total energy output of the Sun, embed it with Bitcoin Mining computers, and transmit that monetary energy back to Earth over Satellite Internet. I challenge you to build your own Bitcoin Miner that uses renewable energy! #BitcoinMiningChallenge

you knew nobody was gonna try this so you just gave us a random diagram of a bridge rectifier circuit at 1:36
Lol
And no caps!
Lmao, this guy truly is a clown🤣🤣🤣
did you also know he was fraud and his fame comes from palgarism
Wait... What? But... Doesn't that just make a shoe that powers a battery that powers a pi to tell a laptop to do the mining? Wouldn't it be faster and exactly the same powerwise (for the actual mining) to just click 'start mining' on the laptop before going for a walk?
Or did I majorly miss something... I must have misunderstood something right?
There are 3 steps to mine bitcoin. 1. Generate an Address. 2. Construct a Block. 3. Mine the Block. In this first version of the shoe miner, the pi only does the first step. A secondary device does the remaining 2 steps. But in the next version, i'll use a raspberry pi with more storage and computing power that can do all 3. It's been done before, see this: linuxhint.com/mine-crypto-raspberry-pi/
@@SirajRaval Hey Siraj, don't you think you should have mentioned the source of your information in the video instead of down in the comments?
I had the same question. The video is misleading people to think the power of the steps are used to perform the hashes…
Exactly lol
@@GG-fk6uz old habits die hard
That's a pretty hilarious bait-and-switch. "Using the power of jogging to mine* Bitcoin.
* Jogging power is used to tell another computer hooked up to the power mains to mine the Bitcoin"
The raspberry pico is too small to store the entire bitcoin blockchain. However, there is a raspberry pi that can do it, and i can use that in a future version. See this: linuxhint.com/mine-crypto-raspberry-pi/
yep, classic siraj.
@@SirajRaval the primary issue is thermodynamic. Bitcoin mining is extremely competitive with high-performance ASICs. The notion of using the squishiness under one's feet to power Bitcoin mining is unrealistic in the extreme. The task has to fit the parameters. It would be useful to timestamp individual steps to generate fitness data, for example.
@@k98killer i will agree that it's not profitable to mine Bitcoin on any type of hardware other than a high performance ASIC at the current Bitcoin price, but what if 1 BTC = 1 million USD in 5 years? Then, even if you mine at a loss, you will make money in the long run by HODLing. Yes, you could also just buy BTC instead of mining, but mining is the only way to truly earn BTC without KYC in the form of the coinbase (block reward + total sum of transaction fees in a block) totally anonymously.
@@SirajRaval I conjecture that there isn't enough power in a footstep to mine a single satoshi, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. You might mine a single share after a few months of walking around, but you'll never get enough for a payout. It is impractical in the extreme. You'd be better off running some kind of alt coin validation and then swapping into Bitcoin if you got enough to do so. I've been mining cryptos since the launch of f2pool, so this analysis is tempered by experience.
This is a joke. The whole thing is a joke. Don't do this.
Mining fleshlight when?
lmfao
make it happen, submit it for the challenge, love it
Can you share the items what do you purchased from the website in the description? I am probably noob, and I could not find what to do before programming.
Mining btc will help achive type 1 civ status? this guy is nuts
Hi @Siraj, Is it possible to get the hardware link on Amazon? Due to the recommendation engine, we are getting several like products on Amazon, which is very confusing and time-consuming.
Tiny windmill generators would work great i reckon
first? 😂 Siraj I am watching you after so long. Your content is still same dope. 👍
Yes, he did a full turn from ML to BS right into crypto scamming, sorry I meant influencer. No idea, why UA-cam algo swamped that twat back into my recommendations.
How much have you mined Siraj???
How efficient is it tho? is it even worth the hassle and money invested in this project?
Interesting idea, wouldn’t the cables get damaged over time though? :o
Before I see your great vd I do 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👑 you are the King really God bless for all your great vd , All have more value more,
Is this forked from someone else's project??
It’s not, its just a single Python script with pointer URLs to all the dependency repositories with instructions.
@@SirajRaval Cool, thanks! Glad to see you've turned around!
This just sounds like bitcoin mining with extra steps.
Mining in Utopia ecosystem is the perfect option. No risks, no need to invest in equipment
good to see you again
But why mine bitcoin? Also, isn't the computer effectively mining with this setup? Even if the pi would be mining, how would that work without internet? I like the concept, but I see a few flaws. First is that bitcoin is way too hard to mine and you'd be only mining a couple of cents a day if you are lucky. So it needs to be done for an altcoin. Even then, internet usage. Its Hella expensive I recon if you are mining outside with a simcard if it's even possible. Having that said, I do like the idea for sure. I've been thinking recently if it weren't possible to mine crypto utilizing renewable energy. Thanks for the inspiration!
I know there is at lest one kid who's now planning to recreate this project in order to become rich so that he can finally tell those bullies off once he hits 40.
I used to be that kid
A random paj-eet will do it i assure you
After many days Siraj... Good job
I dont think its profitable since it's mining bitcoin and the hardware is very weak. I'd personally mine some smaller coins. It'd be nice to see some numbers tho.
Doge shoes should be a thing
1st April is on April 1st, not in July
kewl 🍹
I get the idea! It's pretty cool actually!
Yeah I respect you" I really do, this is awesome. When I'm richer I'll build it one day!
trying to sell something now ?
No, it’s open source.
It's like you found your UA-cam account password back after a while
Am highly inspired by you
Lot's of love sir
Lol
You know you're early when nearly all the comment are from bots advertising crypto scams.
I also don't get why do you mention mining with renewable energy, when mining is actually powered by the laptop running on the regular energy grid's power.
I use solar energy for my laptop
@@SirajRaval Ah, I see, that makes sense.
sun/wind is renewable but the mining required (slave/child labor, environmental disaster, chemicals used in mining) for metals and waste materials produced are not (so much solar/turbine blade plastic waste). Watch The planet of the humans documentary by Michael Moore. it's a feel good idea (and often nihilist/marxist in nature) but not when you understand the reality
Bitcoin is not going to die. It will rise in value. But at this time, it is better to mine and earn in the Utopia p2p ecosystem.
This doesn't work for so many reasons. But let's use the fact that you need a faster internet connection than a non hardwired raspberry pi can connect to
A non hardwired raspberry pi can connect to wide range of internet connection speeds - it depends which wifi module you use. Im using the ESP8266
What did you expect from High Indians
or you could work smarter and get a treadmill and set it up like its a exercise machine and mould some legs and fit the shoes to the legs
you forgot to overclock it
It would be nice to see you return to "old content" in a time when we're going through troubles in the valley with layoffs.
this video is a bruh momento
Siraj , thoughts on STEPN ? Similar concept but obviously yours is next level. Always appreciate your content 🙏
STEPN inspired me to make this. I don’t think stepn is sustainable and want to show people “run to earn” can work with Bitcoin, not some other token.
@@SirajRaval Amazing my good man. I'm along for the STEPN ride. The tokenomics def need improving/are still getting worked out...buts it's amazing how earning just a little bit will motivate people to move. Cheers! And thanks for the reply.
Then it will take a billion year to mine 1 bitcoin if you run constantly.
It’s 6 months since your last upload
Where are you gone siraj bro?
Taking a long break to recharge and get more mature and less impulsive.
This made my day, ty 😂
Awesome 🤩
First like
Really cool project!
Siraj doing what Siraj does best. Training young wizards! 🧙🏽♀️
I miss old days wen stream was run off yay yo and dreams now it’s so educational
it's a long time Mr.Siraj.You didn't post any videos. Try to post videos and enrich your audience
right now someone is coding this crap and its token will pump 100x during the next bull cycle
Dumbest idea...
thought this was going to be a joke/parody video. Can't believe he actually did this. The absolute madlad
I think if you look at Siraj's interest in education, motivation, and health, one can understand his goal with this project.
Regarding if it is profitable. They have been trying to produce fusion energy for a long time even though it still isn't profitable.
Maybe Siraj is thinking about all the Dabbawalas running around all day and night for pennies who could be making a side gig mining bitcoin in their saddles...
People have to think out of the box sometimes.
Luckily Saraj does that...
I haven't read all the comments but if anyone is criticizing - it would be more valuable to contribute to the effort with suggestions or tips than complaining.
Sad if people would just come online to criticize while offering nothing of value. Much better for a smart person to offer a suggested use-case or project circuit with additional components like CAPs etc, instead of offering nothing.
Siraj. if you are reading.
I also wanted to share about the doctor/GP who put a fish bowl full of cash in his reception area and whenever his patients lost weight they got to take a dollar per pound lost out of the fish bowl. It was the best tool he had to motivate his patients to be healthy. Telling his patients to be healthy did nothing until he started to offer them cash to be motivated to take baby steps in their life - 1 dollar at a time or one step at a time if you are running ....
So bitcoin is one of those modern-day fish bowls that have some interesting places to be applied - including your health for bitcoin initiative.
If you like I have some thoughts on that and other related topics, but either way I think you are on the right track using motivation to achieve initiatives.
The brave browser might not be profitable for a North American user but in other places, it can be a good side gig, like running shoes .. ANd if not for making bitcoin, it is good to charge the batteries for the evening if you live in a developing country or rural area with no electricity. I would take a look at the potential to see where the best application is. Runners or speed bumps who knows ... There is R&D science out there for these types of applications.
For decades I thought Crank flashlights were awesome for developed countries but no one pushed them because they don't make a profit, so sometimes the best ideas that make no money are overlooked for where people can make money or promote ideas that cost a lot. That is often the biggest hurdle for change and support for those in need. It is often not about the best idea - more often about who can make money. But it also offers opportunities for people like Saraj who are willing to look at things from a different view and for a different motivation other than money.
Kudos to you for taking the time.
🤣🤣🤣
I can imagine thousands of miners jogging to mine their bitcoins 🤣 making people healthier thanks to their greed, good trick!
That’s the idea - can we get paid regularly to be healthier?
🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🙉
Welcome back man, I just want to let you know you really helped me soar to new heights both in life and my career.
You have an amazing mind and personality that inspire people.
Glad to see that you are back!! (All love man)
too complicated for me
Is this slavery with extra steps :P
Seriously, I don't think you get a lot of hashpower from that hardware, better get some ASICs :(
