Literally. I haven't had the slightest cold in over a year. Plug up a rig, boom, instasickness. I would cough more just being around these fresh from china electroheaters. I looked up if computers could contribute to this, and I found the electroimpulse-whateverwaves can charge viruses and bacteria to stick to stay airborne and stick to your lungs more. Along with that, I'm sure their electronic field offsets the natural electronic and magnetic fields of earth. Especially when you're running your rig 100% at 80+* C with fans on 90% further distributing and filtering particles.
I'm not saying mining is going to make you sick. But I am saying it does not benefit your health. It did make me sick, but of course, maybe that was just got telling me money hurts the soul.
Join me in turning off your rig for the remainder of the night. It will enlighten your house, if not the world. You may find it feels better to not consume resources to make money.
nb4 dank wants lower difficulty thoughts, this post would never slump the hash power behind any currency, I just want you to think about this if you're reading and try for yourself.
Sorry for lack of technical jargin, it's christmas and I just wanted to post this real fast.
And no, I'm not really sick anymore, but when I cough it still sounds the same.
Further evidence to attest to my beliefs that money and possessions posses your soul. Looks like it's about time to stop the presses.
Merry christmas
you would be shocked what the PCBs ooze in noxious chemicals when operating at elevated temps for long periods. not to mention some of the components especially caps give off.
disregard the RoHS and PB Free embossing on the boards, in a closed heated environment they can have long term adverse effects to your health. what you may be feeling is the tip of the iceberg.
open a window or have the exhaust blowing out away from where you sleep/sit/eat.
