In 2021, my cousin set up 12 graphics cards in his garage to mine ETH. He made $4,000 a month with electricity costs of $1,800.



By 2025, domestic crypto mining was banned, and the graphics cards became scrap metal. He dismantled everything and sold the components.

In 2026, I visited him last weekend. Same garage, different setup.

6 phones. 3 laptops. 1 monitor. All running the same script. Full screen of green text.

I asked what this was.

Claude Code farming. The logic is the same as mining, but I'm not mining coins—I'm mining 5-minute markets.

**rename**. 31,221 predictions. $383,000 in profits. Registered in January 2026.

Each device runs the same bot. Claude Code wrote it in an afternoon—47 lines of Python.

Every 5 minutes, a new BTC market. Bot scans. Bot enters. Bot collects.

Mining requires graphics cards, cooling, electricity, and luck.

This requires: phones, WiFi, Claude Code.

His current electricity bill is $89. Last month's profit was $47,000.

I asked: Why so many devices?

Rate limiting. One device runs one instance. 6 devices = 6x position size in the same window.

That garage that once lost money mining is now printing money on Polymarket.

I stood there for 20 minutes watching his phone vibrate with profit notifications. He handed me an old iPhone: "Start your own farm."

27,000 people watching. Position size $1,554.

Mining is dead.

Farming has begun.

Bot entry point (what he uses to monitor now):
ETH2.83%
BTC3.06%
