Namaste,
My name is Ashwim Manandhar and I am from the Himalayan Kindgom of Nepal. Yes its the very kingdom which is sandwiched between two Giants China and India. It is the Country where Lord Buddha was born and It is the Country that has its pride of being the Top of the World because we have Mt Everest, 8848m in height, here in my Country.
In this post I am going to be writing about my Crypto Mining Experience.
It all started 1.5 years ago in early 2016. I used to use my PC mostly for gaming. I played games like DOTA2, Counter Strike, Call of Duty, etc. I came across an article in the internet which stated that we could earn magic internet money with the computer’s graphics cards. My Computer was equipped Nvidia’s GTX960 2GB Graphics Card and it was turned on 24/7 because it was also a server for my cyber café and game station so I thought why not utilize the idle time and give it a try. I researched about mining on the internet and starting mining. The initial experiences were terrible. For several days I mined shit coins without any payouts. Most of the time I mined without proper wallet address so all my hardwork went as donations to creators of the mining softwares. There were so many coins and myriad versions mining softwares, it was so confusing. Then one day after several failures, I came across Ethereum. I had already learnt from my previous mistakes. I found good tutorials on internet about how to setup mining softwares and wallets for ethereum. And wallah I was able to setup the computer to mine ethereum successfully. I mined it for almost 24 hours and received my 1st Payment in my wallet. It was a small amount approximately worth $1 but that one dollar made me so happy. Finally I had accomplished my goal and setup my pc as a mining rig successfully.
Since that day I have been mining various crypto currencies namely ethereum, expanse, monero, zcash, music, ubiq, dbix, bcn, etc. I usually mine ethereum because it is usually the most profitable. Today I own 5 GPUs – 2x r7 370, 1x R9 380, 1x RX470 and 1x RX480 spread across 2 rigs which I have named rig1 and rig2. I went through a lot of trouble getting those mining equipments like graphics cards, riser cables, power supplies as they were not available in my country. I had them shipped from the US had to pay almost thrice the amount of their original price. The only easy part of the whole process was building the rig frame, which I built myself using some unwanted wood blocks and plywood lying around my house.
Till date I have invested almost over $3500 on those rigs. Today I am a proud owner of a small ethereum mining farm whose power is almost 90MH.
