American schoolboy took part in the construction of the mining farm and rich. Nick Sirs (Nick Sears) at the age of 17 joined the Scate Ventures project in Dallanles, Washington, dramatically changing his life. The story of a young man tells CNBC.
trade on the stock exchange and can be engaged in serious finances in the United States from 18 years old, so he received the first bitcoins only a year after joining the project. Now a young man is 19 years old, he gets 54 thousand dollars a year and lives in a room inside the data processing center, where 4.5 thousand ASIC processors are located.
The responsibilities of Sirs include the control and repair of miners – the last two years he devoted to the study of their work. In college he does not go going – knowledge in the field of soldering and electronics for him is much more expensive than the university crust. Sirsa likes the uncertainty of working tasks – every day on the farm is something new: some chips may break or burn or, for example, the data will show that the cooling system works inefficiently.
Siers gets up at seven in the morning and works with eight to four. His day begins with the equipment survey and its repair. Sirsu is important to guarantee the operation of 24/7 cars. If at least one of them is turned off or does not work at full capacity, the company loses money, and hence the spears himself. The more machines on the network, the higher the chances of “calculating” bitcoins. Approximately every ten minutes it creates 6.25 Bitcoin, in which miners are involved worldwide. Success depends on the volume of calculations that the farm takes place.
Machines may fail by the most different reasons, including due to natural conditions. Storms can lead to disconnection of electricity. In the summer, cars can overheat, especially on farms, which over the past two years have switched to more powerful aggregates. At the same time, Scate Ventures has its own response to such difficulties – it has developed cooling technology, which involves immersing machines in non-conductive heat dissipation liquid instead of using fans.
