Sure, the crypto-space is crazy volatile right now. All of the sudden mass-media pundits are up in arms about how crypto is the devil... But those of us in the know are WAY more concerned with NOT being in on this craze than we are about losing everything we've put in.
I have two simple rules:
- Don't invest more than you can afford to lose
- Don't not do a thing you are interested in because you're not 100% sure it will work
Start small. Start with what you have. Learn along the way. Look, if I can have fun and make money with a garbage-rig like this, you can too.

I've been mining mostly SmartCash (https://smartcash.cc), with a side of some ZenCash (https://zensystem.io) and a tiny plate of Maza (https://www.mazacoin.org) for desert. I found these coins and researched them myself. I believe they have a future and I believe it's worth my time supporting them and receiving some coin in return. So I'm just doing it instead of talking myself out of it. I'm not very good at this, but I'm doing it. And I'm learning while earning.
I've got some work to do (after my last GPUs come in) to finish this one up and mount it properly on a solid frame. But I haven't let FUD outshine my interest in mining and my hope that cryptocurrency is Money 2.0 and as an early adopter I'll be ahead of the curve.
