It is surprising to hear a miner, Simon Byrne equipped his BWM i8 hybrid vehicle retailed for roughly $150,000 to be able mine bitcoin, it is also reported to be able to mine ethereum.

According to a report from Hardware Times, Byrne purchased a BMV i8 hybrid vehicle retailing for roughly $150,000 and equipped it with a small crypto mining rig consisting of six GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards. The rig is powered by an ASUS B250 Mining Expert board and an EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2 power supply. It is reportedly capable of mining both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).

Although, it is said the battery capacity of the mining rig will be able to handle the mining, but what about the heat that will be generated from the mining rig and also the lifespan of the car battery. This is surprising and the first of its kind that I heard, but won't this be injurious to the car?

So I think it was all included and covered by the insurance company? That was a clever idea but the fact that it was in the car the maintainance, accidents and other factors might put the system at risks can be very serious.
