Bitcoin Mining Machine You Can Wear

So there's this thing called a Backpack Bag Bitcoin Mining Machine. Basically, it lets you mine Bitcoin wherever you go, kinda like carrying a regular backpack. I think it’s a pretty cool portable setup for mining, no matter where you are. Honestly, I’d never seen anything like it until I stumbled upon it on Instagram. I was super curious, so I asked a buddy who's into Bitcoin for some info, and I did a bit of my own digging too. But I couldn’t find much online about this specific one, just some regular laptop bags designed for backpack mining. I'm really into this new tech that makes Bitcoin mining way more energy-efficient.

So ya want to lug around a 20kg battery to be able to mine for what, maybe 15min at best? Ya would work with some USB sticks but any miner pulling over 100w or so is a definite no-go...

It doesn't use less energy; these are box-standard miners taped to a backpack.. That should be obvious to anyone. Why would you even create a new topic just because you found a funny picture online?

I'm sure this image is edited or someone just created it for fun because no one can withstand lifting a mining machine and battery for 24hrs. And I'm sure this is not profitable you are just going to waste your money with this bag pack. It would be better if it's a USB stick miner like NotFuzzyWarm said above the weight of a USB stick is around 0.05kg, unlike a mining machine like s9 with a weight of around 5 to 6kg plus the battery weight which is heavy I can't endure bringing them anywhere. If you want a lightweight USB stick, raspi, and portable power bank would be enough to bring them anywhere without getting tired.

Some technologies do not have any relevance, why would you want to walk around with a bag pack that mines bitcoin? have you not considered the security risk involved first and secondly health challenge this can present, you will be making yourself a walking target for muggers and a candidate for early back and waist pain. The idea is good but in application, it is not making sense.

The guy was actually walking around the conference with this running on his back.

I'd rather keep these machines somewhere safe and cool.

Hm, and I was almost writing that it must be fake. Did he turned it on? Was it noisy? However, as others said, it's not really a good use case because of the weight and because it may not mine for long enough, since the consumption is probably big.

Yes, it's good for the presentation, but it would be more fun if he rolled a cart with a generator of sufficient power to power his equipment, I wonder how much it would be enough, but it's not bad for fitness either.

Imagine rocking up to Starbucks with this like; Hey! You got a 5amp breaker plug near a window here? Troll aside, looks sick but damn, my chiropractor would steal my gains.
