I installed our school's bitcoin miner in the electrical room. It was the loudest room in the school and that miner was super loud. The miner was a school approved fundraiser idea and mined 400k dogecoin in 2 years. It was highly successful in that it made our school over $700. Unfortunately if we had held the coins today it'd be worth $30k.

If the miner consumed 300W (low end estimate) and ran for 2 years (17 520 hours), that's 5256kWh, which would cost $1314 worth of electricity at $0.25/kWh

That's right, but it was a fun project anyhow
