Title POSTROJENJE ZA KRIPTO RUDARENJE POMOĆU GRAFIČKIH KARTICA Title (english) PLANT BASED ON GRAPHIC CARD FOR CRYPTO-CURRENCY MINING Author Luka Steinbrückner Mentor Marinko Stojkov (mentor)Committee member Marija Živić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Marinko Stojkov (član povjerenstva)Committee member Mario Holik (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Slavonski Brod Defense date and country 2022-09-21, Croatia Scientific / art field, TECHNICAL SCIENCES Abstract Kriptovaluta je vrsta digitalnog novca koja se koristi za izravna plaćanja, štednju i puno više. Nema vlasnika u usporedbi sa papirnatim novcem koji kontroliraju vlade i banke. Sve više se koristi blockchain tehnologija. Kriptovalute nastaju pomoću dva načina, dokazom o radu (PoW) gdje rudari proizvode nove blokove ili alternativna metoda za stvaranje blokova (PoS) gdje umjesto rudara dolaze „validatori“.
Kripto rudarenje može biti hobi, ali i dobar izvor zarade. Veliki je izbor mogućnosti prilikom ulaska u svijet rudarenja kao što su koji uređaj odabrati za rudarenje, koliko takvih uređaja koristiti, te koju kriptovalutu rudariti. Postoje i mnogi problemi koji će se javiti tijekom rudarenja. Proizvodnja otpadne topline i grijanje opreme, te kako odvesti taj isti topao zrak i držati komponente što hladnijima. Potrošnja električne energije je vrlo veliki faktor. Prostor gdje će se skladištiti oprema mora zadovoljiti kriterije kao što su sadržaj vlage, buka, temperatura prostorije, potrebe za hlađenjem i mogućnost priključka na podatkovnu mrežu (Internet) i opskrbu električnom energijom (snage postrojenja idu i preko 1 MW).
Odabrana je izvedba u obliku kontejnera gdje će se skladištiti RIG-ovi sa grafičkim karticama za proizvodnju kriptovalute. Takva izvedba nam omogućuje fleksibilnost i mogućnost transporta, ali limitirani smo sa prostorom. Nastaje veliko grijanje opreme i zbog toga se dimenzionirao rashladni sustav za takvo postrojenje. To je izvedeno na dva načina, prvi je pomoću rada klima uređaja, drugi sustav koristi ventilatore koji usisavaju vanjski zrak, a unutrašnji topao zrak izbacuju van u isto vrijeme. Dane su upute kako pravilno održavati postrojenje i njime upravljati.
Proračunati su početni investicijski troškovi, povrat investicije i troškovi koji se javljaju tokom rada postrojenja. Jedna od mogućnosti je ugradnja fotonaponskih ćelija u blizini postrojenja za smanjenje troškova i neovisnost o električnoj energiji iz mreže.
Abstract (english) Cryptocurrency is a type of digital money used for direct payments, savings and much more. It has no owner compared to paper money controlled by governments and banks. Blockchain technology is increasingly being used. Cryptocurrencies are created using two methods, Proof of Work (PoW) where miners produce new blocks, or Alternative Block Creation (PoS) where "validators" replace miners.
Crypto mining can be a hobby, but also a good source of income. There are many options when entering the world of mining, such as which device to choose for mining, how many such devices to use, and which cryptocurrency to mine. There are also many problems that will arise during mining. Production of waste heat and equipment heating, and how to remove that same warm air and keep the components as cool as possible. Electricity consumption is a very big factor. The space where the equipment will be stored must meet criteria such as moisture content, noise, room temperature, cooling needs and the possibility of connecting to a data network (Internet) and electricity supply (the power of the plant exceeds 1 MW).
The design was chosen in the form of a container, where RIGs with graphics cards for the production of cryptocurrency will be stored. Such a design allows us flexibility and the possibility of transportation, but we are limited with space. The equipment heats up a lot, which is why the cooling system was dimensioned for such a plant. This is done in two ways, the first is through the operation of the air conditioner, the second system uses fans that suck in the outside air and expel the warm indoor air outside at the same time. Instructions are given on how to properly maintain and operate the plant.
Initial investment costs, return on investment and costs incurred during plant operation were calculated. One of the possibilities is the installation of photovoltaic cells near the plant to reduce costs and independence from electricity from the grid
