Daymak
Daymak, a manufacturer of drones, bicycles and electric cars, has unveiled its new electric car capable of mining Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies directly through the on-board computer.Spiritus is a light vehicle designed to provide an exciting driving experience, looking more like a futuristic go-kart rather than a more common car. This is partly due to its three-wheel design, two front and one rear, which are assumed to give the car more agility. Options range from a base model priced at $ 18,000 to the $ 149,000 variant.
Perhaps the most unique feature of Spiritus is its ability to mine cryptocurrencies while parked (and connected to the mains). ). In theory, this could allow the car to actively earn money for you while it is charging in your garage. Of course, the Spiritus isn't the first car to have enough power to mine cryptocurrencies. Months ago we told you about the owner of a BMW i8 who has installed several RTX 3080s in his trunk, but in the case of the Spiritus this is a feature already provided from the factory.
The mining process works through the use of two apps. One is the Nebula Miner software which performs the actual mining operations through your vehicle and allows you to choose which cryptocurrency to mine, as well as providing various statistics. Then there is the Nebula Wallet which, as the name suggests, is a software wallet that you can download to your smartphone. This is where all the mining proceeds will be transferred and from there they can be spent like any other currency.
The idea is very interesting, but we don't know how much computing power these cars are equipped with and how much it could be. actually earn money by mining with Spiritus.

The Daymak Spiritus Is the World’s First EV That Mines Cryptocurrency
While the auto industry is still working on perfecting self-driving cars, one marque is high-tailing it toward self-mining cars. Canadian outfit Daymak has just announced it’s building the world’s first automobile that can mine cryptocurrency.
The new light electric vehicle (LEV), dubbed the Spiritus, will be equipped with high-tech mining hardware and blockchain technology that will allow it to mine all kinds of crypto, from Bitcoin to Dogecoin, while it’s charging.
For those unversed in crypto lingo, mining is a way of earning cryptocurrencies by solving cryptographic equations and algorithms through computers. You can mine via any computer, including the one onboard this pioneering ride.

The Spiritus will include a GPU (processor) that supports a patent-pending system known as the Daymak Nebula. The Nebula comprises a miner that collects the coins and a digital wallet that stores them for future use. Naturally, there’s also an app that displays all the crypto info on your smartphone.
“We envision a future where your highway tolls, your parking and your drive-thru order will be paid directly on the fly with crypto. Your online bills and your banking can be handled through the same software platform paid in crypto,” Daymak president Aldo Baiocchi said in a statement. “And whereas most vehicles are depreciating while they sit in your garage, the Nebula Miner will make you money while your Spiritus is parked.”

According to the automaker, the emissions-free daily driver is also fitted with solar panels, which means the mining could be carried out using renewable energy rather than traditional fossil fuels. Recently, there has been some criticism regarding the environmental cost of mining crypto, but using solar power prevents all of that.
As for the car itself, it has a decidedly futuristic aesthetic with sleek lines and a sculpted rear end. Though it only has three wheels, it’s certainly no slouch. The range-topping “Ultimate” model features an 80 kWh battery that delivers up to 150 hp. Daymak says this allows the svelte two-seater to go from zero to 60 in a breakneck 1.8 seconds and reach a top speed in excess of 130 mph. The company also claims the car can cover some 300 miles and charge in under two hours.

The Spiritus is the fifth model in Daymak’s Avvenire Series. This line-up includes everything from e-bikes to electric flying vehicles and has already garnered more than $350 million in pre-orders in less than two months. The Spiritus, which is expected to launch in 2023, has received more than 4,000 pre-orders so far.
As for price, the base “Deluxe” model starts at around $20,000 while the luxe carbon-fiber “Ultimate” version will set you back $149,000, but, hey, it might just pay for itself.
