Payout Time!
I've built 2 mining rigs, or at least mining towers:
And the payouts are currently beginning to roll in!
I've been mining a combination of Monero (XMR) on monerohash.com, and a variety of currency that ultimately pays out in Bitcoin (BTC) on nicehash.com
I've had payouts from both, here's a chart and graph of the results thus far:
In about 3 weeks, I've made back about 15% of my initial hardware purchases, and that doesn't account for the coins that are mined but not yet paid out, which would bring me to about 25% of my initial purchases recovered.
It's been a learning curve, but I think I've got them in a good place... A couple things I've learned:
- Bitcoin is EXPENSIVE to send! I initially created different wallets on coinbase to receive from the various sources of mining income... Big mistake! It costs like $2 to send $30 to yourself! DON'T create extra wallets!
- MinerGate is a scam
- GPUs get hot! The room they're in is consistently 5-10 degrees hotter than the rest of the house
- It's as much as an art as a science getting everything set up to mine consistently
So far, I've been taking the coins generated from my hardware and investing them in Genesis-Mining.com cloud mining contracts... Here's been the results so far:
I'm currently at approximately 51 cents per day payout at current difficulty and exchange rates. Even though mining on my own hardware is clearly more profitable, I like the idea of consistent daily payouts with no maintenance or headache on my part.
So far, here's where I'm at:
I'm at a loss obviously, but I view this as laying the foundation for a perpetual cash generating machine! Every addition I make or cloud contract I buy adds to the coin generation on daily basis, and my plan is plow the proceeds back into more machines and more contracts!
My goal is to generate $5,000 a month in cryptocurrency on autopilot, as that would cover all of my monthly expenses, freeing up all of my other business income for investment in other, perhaps more traditional ventures...
