A system for those who know little about mining

The small mining system has 10 USB ports and a mini fan for cooling the handles. These, in turn, are ASIC chips from the manufacturer Bitmain. According to the miner, "it is one of the fastest ways to build, configure and extract as all you need is a computer or laptop. It is powered by USB and anyone can become a miner and become a part of the crypto world.".

Idan understands that many people find it difficult to buy hardware to build a traditional mining system. So you've built your store with these solutions that make things easier for those who don't understand the process.

Miner also added that sales at his store have already reached $ 428,000 in 2021, up 355% from last year.

However, this hardware may not be very profitable due to the very low hash rate. Idan points out that the pens are generating 0.0002478 bitcoins per month, which is about $ 9.85 at the current conversion rate. well and CNBC he adds that electricity in Los Angeles costs 22 cents (dollars) per kilowatt-hour. Thus, if the system is running 24 hours a day, it will cost $ 15.84. Therefore, you can spend more than you earn.

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor. This combined technology was possible, according to Dacia, only due to the lack of clutch.
