However there is no air on the Moon, so how to conduct the heat from the mining machines?

- be5invis 13y agoAssuming that your mining machine is a 10cm * 10cm * 10cm box with 100W power, while it is a black body, then according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law, the temperature of your machine will be...... 414K, or 285°F. One of the hot-selling mining machines in China is the Friedcat Box, providing 38GH/s in 360W power. The dimensions of this thing is a 12cm cube. Using the data of this machine, and calculated with Stefan–Boltzmann law, the temperature will be... 520.6K or 477.5°F Bitcoins are really hot, I think.

- easy_rider 13y agoHow about liquid cooling? Assuming it brings a length of hosing. A motor draws the water away from the device, far enough for it to cool, but not to freeze. We would use a liquid that does not easily freeze but can get very cool. We shield the hosing away from the sun. The ISS uses water cooling no? /edit, liquid ammonia cooling to be precise.
