In the United States, resident Simon Bern created a miniature mining farm from six Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics cards and placed it in the trunk of a BMW i8 hybrid sports car. This, HardwareTimes reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mining rig is equipped with an ASUS B250 Mining Expert motherboard and an EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2 power supply.<\/p>\n

\n

The BMW i8’s battery capacity is 3,500 W, and the mining setup draws 1,500 W. To prevent the rig from overheating, the trunk must remain open at all times.<\/p>\n

The hybrid BMW i8, with a total output of 362 horsepower, can accelerate to 100 km\/h in 4.4 seconds. It is priced at around $147,500.<\/p>\n

Simon Bern says this is a great way to earn money even while travelling.<\/p>\n

The main income \u2013 $128,000 per year \u2013 for the miner comes from a farm of 78 graphics cards<\/a>, which ForkLog previously reported.<\/p>\n
