Patent ID: 11734004

Abstract:
A datacenter including a first voltage sensor and/or first amperage sensor along with a second voltage sensor and/or second amperage sensor. The first amperage and voltage sensors are associated with a first computing device (FCD) and the second amperage and voltage sensors are associated with a second computing device (SCD). The datacenter also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) that communicates with the FCD and the SCD. The ECU is configured to receive FCD energy consumption information and additional updated FCD energy consumption information via the first voltage and/or amperage sensor(s). FCD energy consumption information is associated with energy consumed by the FCD during a first customer billing cycle. The ECU is also configured to divide a first blockchain mining reward into a first customer portion and a first datacenter portion and withhold the first customer portion when the first datacenter portion is less than a first minimum threshold.
