How can I watch a 24/7 twitch server?

I'm playing a computer game. This game makes a livestream on twitch. By watching this livestream you can get a stream currency. You get one of them every 10 minutes. The only problem is that I can't run my PC 24/7. Now my question is: A rented vServer can watch a stream on Twitch all the time to "farm" this currency. It would be nice if someone could help me

Dr

Twitch app on cell phone / ipad?

Ju

Take a Raspberry Pi and write a grease or Tampermonkey script that will do that for you.

sa

Since a vserver usually has a fixed IP, I don't assume that it will work.

Su

Why not? What does that have to do with the fixed IP?

Su

Hmm, the VServers you can rent all have no graphical user interface…

you would have to rent a Windows server, which is relatively expensive… I don't know if Twitch keeps running when you log out…

do the test whether Twitch is running, if you log out, if it is running, I can test it on my V-Server. If you want…

sa

If twitch or Der stream notices that the same IP is permanently hanging on the stream, it may be kicked.

sa

When did vserver have no graphical user interface? Install the desktop on it and you're done.

Su

That should be tried… Fortunately I have a few servers around… If necessary a raspi…

Su

If that works, with the "hardware" of cheap VMs… I have not tried this with Linux, but would be interesting…

sa

I can do it easily with 2GB ram

ky

The problem is that I have absolutely no plan of servers and I don't know what to do

ky

Unfortunately I don't have one and wouldn't run the little thing 24 hours a day

ky

How do you mean?

Ju

Why not?

Su

Just it.

Tell me the link and I'll give it a try…

If possible, I'll help you of course…

ky

I don't know how it reacts to heat if you let it run for so long

ky

If you need the link from the stream I don't know if that works because you have to connect your game account to the stream. Or what do you mean for a link?

ky

There are tons of people who do such "mining". I just don't know how they do it

ky

And if I have such a Raspi I could just run Twitch on it all the time or not? Unfortunately I don't have a Raspi and I don't know anything about it

Ju

It comes with the heat it spits out, but you can put a passive cooler on it for a euro or so

ky

I would get a case with a passive cooler and fan

ky

Could you let it run for 5 weeks at a time and what is the power consumption?

Su

I mean the link from the stream… I have to test something.

Ju

At full load about 5 watts. Mine is actually in use 24/7, they can do that.

ky

If a Twitch Stream is running in the background, it will consume even less. How long have you been using yours?

ky

https://m.twitch.tv/j4fg24 here is the link

Ju

For about a year

ky

I have already seen some who farmed with Raspis urgebdeas

ky

Have you tried it yet? Take your time, but I don't want to push you.

Su

I can only in the evening, I start that evening.

You may also get Teamviewer login data

ky

What is Teamviewer?

ky

Do you use it as a home server?

ky

Ok I've made myself smart

Ju

Currently use it as a PiHole

ky

Oh cool. I think I'll get one soon. Always wanted one.

Ju

In the long run it is cheaper than a vserver

ky

I also wanted to start programming

Su

A program for remote control of other computers… But I will use Anydesk… The vm is currently being set up… I will then write you a pm

Su

So, I'm on it now… From now on, let's see how long…
