Yeah, I get that this will take a year or so, with all those rounds. I thought each round was a month. But if a block pops in the 7th round, it gets split among folks who joined. So if I put in 0.01 BTC, I’d get a…

Quick question, sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but what exactly do you mean by a "Found Block"? Like, is it some kind of lucky surprise? Are we solo mining and hoping to hit the jackpot with the purchased hashrate?…

If you need help translating, just use Google Translate. A lot of the Russian community has valuable resources.

True, if done right, you could make back your hardware costs in a year. But GPU mining? Nah, that’s not happening.

I wonder why Nvidia doesn’t make their own mining rigs? They could do so much with that hardware.

That USB miner is probably overpriced because it's a collector's item now. The one you found isn’t even from Bitmain; it's a BitAxe.

I plan to set up services too, like lending and managing campaigns. Holding is solid, but mining can help offset hardware costs over time.

I get that. I'm thinking Bitcoin will hit 300k in a decade. My power is cheap, I have solar, but still need to invest in the short term.

I saw a USB miner on Amazon for $300, claiming 1.2TH/s. But how would that even work with a laptop? Too much power draw, right?

Yeah, I checked Nicehash for my GPUs. Not worth it, really. Nvidia even nerfed their cards for mining a while back. Seems like GPU mining days are over.

Not sure about ASIC prices around here, but I think there's a big import fee too. Last time I looked, an Antminer S21 was around 13k after everything.

I found this site that says how much I could make mining with my GPU, but is it really reliable? Prices keep changing, so how can they be accurate? I'm also curious about which cards are best for mining.

Picture having 10 ASICs running at 10 TH/sec. Seasonal room temp balancing is key. Maybe 4 heating ASICs in summer, 6 in winter? Might be a stretch, but I'm getting better at this lol.

No worries, I didn’t take it personally. I started with GPU mining on a laptop years ago and it was fun learning. But yeah, no fixed rules for mining; it evolves all the time.

I’m using the default settings from the site. The OP's electric bill isn’t mentioned anywhere, so it definitely changes things.

Asicminervalue says you can expect about $14.18 a day from the S21 Pro, with electricity costs of $8.47. So, yeah, total profit would be around $5.71. But keep in mind, ASICs sell out way faster than GPUs, and used ones…

In Russia, it’s super risky. Admins can just take your equipment without a second thought if they find out.

I was a total newbie back then. Lived in a hostel and mining in the winter felt nice… at first. Mornings were rough though.

That heat can't be good for air quality, right? I’ve mined on a laptop and felt kinda dizzy from all the heat and fan noise.

Right? Like, he’s mining coins and living in that same space 😂.
