DIY river crypto mining experiment from @dataslayer

The creator documents his attempt to monetize a river by building an off-grid cryptocurrency mining rig. He explains his plan, introduces the Raspberry Pi and a hydroelectric turbine, shows the step-by-step process of setting up the equipment in a stream, and confirms it's generating power and running the mining software, before revealing the comically small amount of money he earned.

Today, I'm gonna find out if we can monetize a river. This is a Raspberry Pi single board computer about the size of a credit card, and this is a Better Lily hydroelectric turbine. And together, we're gonna harness the power of clean energy to mine crypto. Let's get it. So here's my plan. First, we're gonna find a small stream with running water and sufficient flow. Next, we're gonna submerge our Better Lily so we can generate free power for our Raspberry Pi. Tier, we're gonna connect our Raspbe
