Actually this is a pretty good video that perfectly sums up the considerations people need to make when they think about getting into this industry. It CAN indeed be incredibly lucrative to set up a mining operation if you are really good with computer hardware, have cheap energy, live in a place with reasonably lower temperatures, and have enough time to basically dedicate yourself to a new part time job. Oh, and this IS a part time job that WILL take up a lot of your time if you bother to go big with this.

Another major issue if you want to go bigger is power availability (apart from price). In RSA most homes have 63A max. Depending on the hardware OFC, let's work on an average of 5-6A for an ASIC machine or 6-8 card GPU miner. So if your house is using 40 AMP peak times (think geyser, kettle, washer all working simultaneously) then you cannot add more 3 or 4 miners. It get worse; wall plugs or groups of plugs have 20A breakers, so putting 2 miners in the same room can easily start tripping some switches if there's anything else on those circuits. Then you start to lay leads from other plugs to keep the noise contained in one room and you have fire-hazard issues with hot wires and plugs. So as great as mining is, you can only go 'so big' at home.

Slowly adding GPUs to your systems is probably the safest method, at least as I've found. Which is pretty much necessary given finding a GPU at a reasonable price can take awhile. I got a 1070 ti for 519 which is a bit inflated but reasonable, and right after I bought it *limit 1 :-)* the price went up to 899... The price of GPUs is outrageous to be completely honest.

This is actually where investing in water cooling can be to your benefit. You don't need to go all-out, especially since full-cover blocks for many of the cards are not available. But with "universal GPU" blocks, decent radiator capacity, and a decent pump, you can probably have a system that will run very cool and quiet. At least the cards will run cool. The room it's in, however, will most certainly not stay that way. Another alternative to have a cool running rig is to follow what DIY Perks did to take a CPU cooler and attach it to the mining card. This can allow the system to run very quiet with the cards still staying very cool - possibly much cooler than the stock cooler depending on the CPU cooler you decide to use.

That was an apocalyptic worse case scenario if market literally died overnight which I don’t think is even possible, it would take months to collapse at worst. That said. 80% for a 1month old card should be doable even if the market is flooded, especially for a brand new card that I’m using 1070ti, heck I may still be able to return them for a store credit at that point. I was just making the point that compared to any other investment, cards resale right now for like 90% to 100% of cost as you pointed out, so after less than a month or so you are basically at a breakeven point. As an investor in Real Estate, stock market, bond market, bullion market, numismatic, and so on....I was just discussing the risk assessment of investing in a gpu miner. In 41 days, I am at $7433 made and can right now sell my 1070ti’s on eBay for more than I paid, not many investments will do that, in fact, I’ve never seen anything like this. In another like 23 days, I will be at 50% ROI, that means to get to losing money on my investment, I would have to not be able to sell a 2 month old top of line 1070ti for $250, I don’t care how flooded the market is, there is still a video game market that will buy. GPU rig is a solid investment, not risk free, but one of the lowest risk investments I have ever made.
@jakegarrett8109

I wouldn't pay over 60% for a used card (wouldn't even give 80% for a new in sealed box, there is no warranty from the manufacturer). You should be able to get $200 for the 1070ti, but maybe not. If someone with several million dollars worth of cards is near your country and starts selling a thousand 1070ti cards, then that alone will drop the price to dirt cheap. Also when Volta comes, it will drop prices. Historically, the __70 is on par with the Titan of last gen, so ~$350 cards matching $1k cards of last gen (and the $350 card is new with warranty). I'm expecting slightly over that, maybe $500 for my new Titan Xp collectors edition, mostly due to Star Wars fans wanting it (possibly just as a decoration piece, which is what I will do if it dies, or give it as a display gift to my uncle who is also a big Star Wars fan for his memorabilia shelf in his office). I'm not banking on any resell value though, it may end up as a trophy/reminder to always be careful (will set next to my sub-zero killed AMD card).

I'm guessing RX 570/80 cards. He said $26k for 40 GPUs plus 4 mobos, ram, PSUs, etc. That's leaving about $400 per GPU. Its possible they are GTX 1070 though. Either way, I'm guessing $100 to $150 after mining crash (like I said, $140 for my RX cards even when mining was good).

If i didn't have the parts to begin with, then i wouldn't have got into this, but its been great so far, electric bill not much higher in winter, have the windows open all the time, constant fresh air and heat in winter.

About a month ago I picked up a couple 1080TI's for a gaming build that ended up not happening. Not a lot of gamers in my area and didn't want to deal with selling them, so I threw them and an old 1070TI in with an old PC slated for the dumpster and took a shot at some mining. Gotta say I'm pleased so far, partly because electricity is cheap, and it's cold here so the miner helps with my heating. Come summer though, I might just sell the cards and call it good. Not sure I want to deal with the heat during the summer.

With current market bloodbath in mind, I think 4 RX 580s is a fair deal for $1300. For other components, it won't be much of a trouble. Go with Asus Z270 Mobo, Intel Celeron, 4GB RAM, and a good power supply. Storage is not an issue. You can even run your rig using a USB drive with Ubuntu installed.

it was worth it when it was worth it. considering that eth is moving to a PoS, the only option PoW will be Bitcoin, and xmr, maybe ltc. The rest of the world will be using alt coins. Minning will maybe be profitable 2-5 years from now for a new miner imo.. Costs of equipment will go down, volume of trades will be up. biggest pro about building mining machines, is understanding crypto. if you get into this, the future is bright. everyone else will be catching up, and not knowing what to do.

You forget to talk about cleaning the video cards every 2 or 3 months to prevent the overheating.... if you want to do it properly is a pain in the ass taking the fans and the cover off the card to clean them and clean the heat sink... there are some cards that easilly allow you to take them off but others like the Zotac 1060 6gb Amp Dual fan is very difficult....

You know the gamers can buy a 1080 ti SLI for 4k gaming and mine with it over night to have a free upgrade right? Just saying, you can get almost anything you want as a gamer (making 4k gaming possible) if you use your head and play around with cryptocurrency. Also note, in about a year, or whenever mining tanks, budget gamers should be able to buy super cheap 1080ti cards, pretty much ending the point of consoles and getting everyone into PC gaming. Whether that's good or bad, I hate consoles and the low FPS with non-tweakable settings. But as always, never invest more than you are willing to loose (If I was rich, I wouldn't put all my money in the US dollar, the Euro, or in any single currency, it would be diversified. When China says it wants its 18 Trillion dollars back, the US dollar will tank to worthless, and we saw what happened to the Euro. "Let me just spend my old Aztec coins", all money fails, every single Fiat money does too. I'm also a coin collector and enjoy looking at currencies that were disconnected and now worthless as real money, like the wooden pennies from the US to some beautiful Chinese currencies. I don't actually have Aztec coins though, that was my joke showing how the civilization came to an end)

@jakegarrett8109

I was making a little over $5 per card (and over $4.50 per RX 470 running only 80% speed), and over $6 a day per R9 Fury (I have 2 in my gaming machine) a few days ago. Cryptocurrency took a nose dive since then, and its a lot lower, but its still not super low. For $1200 a day, which was NOT said by any miner, if you can get realistically $3 per card, then it would be 400 cards (now, $3 is kind of low sometimes, so that would definitely more than account for electricity on decent days, but I can't claim to predict the future, so I'm picking just a reasonable number)

I love this, why you might not want to get in to mining from a miner that can explain in detail all of the hardships and costs that come with mining. I myself went cheaper on psu and do 4 card rigs mid tier (rx 570 rig X4 cards & gtx 1060 3gb x4), they are costly even at mid tier with a bit better cpu than normal miners would have. I retired gaming pc using amd fx 8320 and another with an amd ryzen 1300x i got on sale on black friday. They pull decent money, but with cost to profit ratio, it will take about 8 months to even recover costs on all of this unless the coin goes up. There's a bit more detail for anyone who wants to start mining.

I've been mining via nicehash for the past 7 months and doubled my investment with 5 GTX 1050 ti's, 1xGTX1070 and an AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU @ 4.0Ghz. Looking for a 2nd GTX 1070 for my gaming settup that will be mining during the day and gaming at night :) Don't spend what you don't want to lose, if you love PC hardware and the idea of an easy passive income I would recommend it but be aware that the market can crash at any time and when that happens you can either try and sell what you have or end up stuck with old hardware that gathers dust... Stay away from asic miners and mining contracts, when market fails you have no way of getting your return of investment. Anyways happy mining and great job UFD, keep it up!
