Just bought another 3090. My mining is officially making me enough every month to pay my mortgage. Feelsgoodman.

Why go with 3090s. I’ve done a little research and it seems the lower end Gpus are better for mining on a cost basis.

My cousins built a 3060s rig and he’s like 400 dollars away from having his full mortgage paid from mining

I’m thinking of building a rig but kind of scared to invest thousands in Gpus when not really sure how eth 2.0 POS conversion will impact miners after.

If I had unlimited access to GPUs I'd probably go with 3060s but microcenter only lets me buy one a month, so it makes sense to buy 3090s. It's also easier to buy 3090s since they have less demand. Every time I go 3060s are the first ones to sell out. I'd have to wait in line from 6 a.m. every truck day to secure a reasonably priced card that isn't a 3090.

I also just have a regular motherboard, not a mining one, so PCIE slots are also at a premium.




The movement to POS will kill mining on eth, so expect to move to something else and see an increase in everything else's mining difficulty. They will remain profitable, but once eth 2.0 comes out expect like a 50% profit cut. That's fine for me, since I plan on mining on these for several years, but it will suck to see the gravy train slow down.

Idk how true it is, but my cousin said he's been testing and he only saw like a 15%-20% reduction in profit mining Raven, which would still make mining operations highly profitable.

I hear you on the PCIE slots. My mobo only has one...If I were to try mining seriously id basically have to build everything from the ground up. New mobo, CPU, ram, etc. so making me skeptical of dropping $$$$ when i'm not sure what will happen after dec.

Yeah but you have to consider that a massive amount of mining power is going to immediately switch to the next profitable coin(s), which will drastically drive up the difficulty.

If you want to make a mining rig you only need like 4gb of ram in your system, the most barebones processor you can get, and a mining motherboard. The bulk of the cost is the GPUs (~85%) and power supplies (~10%)

congrats to BTC holders, i sold my short (turned medium) at 50,800 so BTC will now spike.

Still holding seeing the climb and eating popcorn. All the sweaty and reactionary day traders losing sleep cause missing investment gene

good opportunity to practice hodl and load back up the last 5 or so months

hold since day one. i will go to the moon boys relax. i knew all about hash mining 10 plus years ago. Its the future and no ones knows it. I just wish i had the funds for a rig back then id be a multi millionaire by now. But im climbing all i gotta say

Multi millionaire in cuck money. Sats is the standard
