You also failed to mention that you're probably mining a centralized scamcoin named eth because you know we'd mock you harder

The only practical thing you'll be able to use it for is streaming your boipucci. You'll make more in a night than in 2 years with ((((mining))))

Also get that shit out of your house before your mom dies of CO intoxication in her sleep. These things burn out fast.

O I'm laffin
But if it makes you feel better I'm sitting in a California heatwave with the AC off and the rig on the other side of the house
Also if it makes you feel better there's literally thousands of other people in your exact situation

14 months for 6000 dollars... Probably assuming current prices as well which is not guaranteed to last. And difficulty will go up making your actual profit after 14 months decline.

Is this what life is life as a NEET? Truly pathetic, this makes me glad to be a wagie

Solar power for one mining rig is 15-20k... one rig draws 24 kwh/day, which is more than an average modern house.

Hahaha

solar is a meme, terrible investment right now

Unless you're a chink with free electricity who can make his own mining processor, you're never going to do better mining than just buying coins with that right now.
