Its a small start but you gotta start somewhere. I've been picking up parts for a proper rig as they come in stock for the last few weeks. Hoping to have a proper rig up and running in early February.

I opted for 1080 TIs as they seem the most future-proof and profitable per card. How retarded am I? Mining zclassic btw.

Honestly, I dont know why biz hates on mining so much, it's literally a machine that makes money on it's own. My first rig had a 3 month ROI and is pumping out $1000/month net revenue on $60 of electricity. Next one I'm building will cost about $9000, net about $3000 a month with probably $80 in electric.

5-6k, ~.90 ETH a month which at current prices is around $35 a day. Paid off in about 5 months, could have been shorter but bought frames, expensive risers, SSDs and 1200w platinum EVGAs. Will be worth the extra time for ROI long term.

man,buying all that stuff, putting it together, losing space / a room, the noise, checking its running still etc. Then theres electricity price in the UK...

I guess if your young and don't have a bank account its a good way of getting into it?
But for $2k a month; the 3-4hrs a day i spend trading back and forth seems easier and pays better (especially if i add electricity).

I calculated 100 day ROI on Ethereum in June when it was $250... I held some, sold some. Even though it's paid off I look now that ETH is $1100 my new ROI numbers are under 45 days. Im with you anon $650/month @.12 cents/kwh bill to have $3000... not rocket science. I have bots trading but the money isn't as steady as the mines and I hate bags and watching the markets all the time is stressful.
>>6762123
Hes right, even at 8 cents youre still gonna pay about $4-500 to get 3k. The only thing I'm worried about is getting raided for grwoing pot or something. 6600 watts is not average according to my bill.
>>6762381
RX 570s of you can get em. EVGA 1000GQ power supplies. CPU/RAM. You will get dead risers so buy extra (1 in 8 or so) and get the molex powered ones. Ethos is what I use on my rigs and it is a pretty nice OS with a WebConsole. Modding the BIOS on the cards is a process but easy once you get going. Dont need a hard drive, just boot to thumbdrive. (you can even pull it out once its loaded into the ram, not recommended tho)
>>6763236
Its a cheap insulated material. Wire racks if you want 12+ GPUs are the way to go.
>>6765668
It's gonna take forever to hit the threshold of a pool, but If you had been mining 3 months ago the card would be paid for.
