Great summary! I have an old mining rig that someone gave me that I've been using to mine Monero (XMR). I detailed the setup in a post last week.
The moral of the story is that it's difficult to get into mining without some expensive upfront costs, but it can be a fun way to earn a little bit of extra currency. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't run myself in the ground with debt but I was a bit tempted to. I love the idea of making money by mining coins. Hopefully at some point next year I'll be able to buy one of those fancy ASIC miners.
