I live in an apartment and have $40,000 to invest. I want to mine Bitcoin mainly. I need a 110 volt system and Wi-Fi capabilities so I can speed all over the apt oh and also quiet. Any suggestions? And thank you.
I’m in the same situation, in apartement with limited electrical possibilities. Personally i don’t think mining BTC is a good thing in this situation. If you really want to stack BTC, i suggest you to mine other crypto with a better value /w low Wattage need…and swap to BTC

If I do that, what hardware do you suggest?
Personally i mine ETH with GPU and probably gonna try get me some Goldshell mini miner to full my electrical capacities but i’m pretty sure there is some hardcore guys around can give you a way better answer than me and going to help you more than me on technical stuff!! GL with your research man!!
Thanks for your time
There’s currently nothing that mines BTC and meets your criteria.
GPUs to mine ETH can work. Not super loud but I wouldn’t say quiet either. Venting the heat could be a challenge but easily solved with some ductwork.
Or you can go the helium route but that’s really location dependent.
Or you can go box miners just don’t go into it with high profit expectations.
There are other projects to get involved with like the MatchXpro and things like that.
There are many hardware systems to buy is best but it depends on you what you choose.
I believe you’re better off getting miners hosted.
Sound and electrical costs/planning would be a bit much in an apartment.
Not impossible, just more better ways to use that money if you’re interested in mining and turning a profit.
I am currently running Goldshel KD-Boxes, Mini doge and Ipollo G1 minis. 2 of each. all run off 110 and do not generate a lot of heat or noise.
Personally, I had 9 S9’s running out of my apartment, ran from both Dryer and Stove 220V.
This is just my personal view of running miners out of a Home, apartment, garage or business. I would recomend doing your own research and seek professional help regarding the power supply.
If you purchased a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) the linked is just for example. You might be able to run something safely!
If you can run off 220V not 120V, you can reduce the Amp and Watt usage (which also reduces the load on the cheap wiring inside some of these walls these days).
To run any kind of ASIC miner, you will need to think about how you are going to get that heat out of the room/garage you are using the miner in.
Personally I designed and printed 3D Printed ducting that attaches to the miner fans and enables you to connect a 5/6/7/8" ducting to the miner, Then you have a vent in your window. This way the heat is blown out the window away from your miner. The cooler you can keep the room the Safer it is, but its also beneficial to the equipment as well.
Now if you attach the Flexible ducting you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. The kind that has the insulation around it. you use this to connect to the miner and the window. The higher the R rating on the ducting the higher reduction you will also see in sound proofing.
You would be wise to keep the miner on something thats static resistant. Not Carpet!
As for what miner. That is something that you must research! different miners can mine different coins. Each coin has its own pros/cons.
