Well, just sacrificed some of the $BTC stack and purchased another $DOGE and $LTC ASIC miner for the farm! This one will for now be replacing an older miner in the main farm and doubling my hashrate. I will be taking the old miner into my bedroom for the winter and using as a heating source, but other than that, I am going to need to beef up the solar to keep it running.
Making those #crypto #business moves!
I want to do some mining, but just keep putting it off because of life and stuff.
Think it's going to prioritize it for my next short-term goal (beginning of 2026).
Not going to sugar coat it, but unless you are offsetting with solar like I am, it's probably not worth buying miners right now, at least smaller 'home miners' like I am buying, which is all I can afford, haha. I also subsidize my power use with other income as well, so it's basically just building my savings at this point.
I will be doing it more for learning/interest. Doesn't mean that I won't try to make money but I do realize the difficulty.
I have an interest in solar power as well and will likely be on the freemium/bootstrap plan at first. Best to learn for free then up the "costs" once some skill is acquired. 🤣
Oh for sure, and if you are not expecting big returns then yeah, get a small miner, or just simply download and run XMRig on your computer when you are not using it and mine Monero $XMR. I encourage people to learn, but just want to set proper expectations, lol.
Eyes wide open here! 🤣
