The coins you sold as a demo were coins that you mined?
Because you need to factor in the cost of electricity when mining

No, ones that I bought. She justs didn't believe I could sell my magic coins for real money, instantly.

We live in a rented house, we know the landlord (he is my friend) And he's got the light hacked, or fix or however you call it, so we have this one cable in the house that's connected directly to the grid and we don't have to pay for anything we plug in there. We usually use it for the heaters.


So basically, 30 graphics cards working without worrying about electricity costs.

I could buy Asic or Scrypt miners, I am just not sure about it, desu.

Siphoning the grid nice. I would too in your situation. If you get caught you will have to give up your landlord though.

That's what I had in mind, seems like there's a serious shortage of them at the moment. Gamers are going to hate me.
>>2459012
Yep

How likely is it that they'll notice?

I fail to see how that prevents an electric fire, if anything it might make things worse

I would prepare a room specifically for the cards, to keep everything safe and working.

Keep going Anon, you seem to know nothing about electricity, just plug all the cards you can

>> No.2460195

Don't buy graphics cards for mining. Specialized mining hardware is far cheaper and more efficient (uses less electricity).

>> No.2460335

>>2460146

The cable that connects to the grid is 16mm, I believe. I can check the Ampers, but I was told by me landlord it could handle like 16.000 Kilowats of power at once.


Is that really not enough for 30 or 60 cards?

>>2460195

What would you recommend? I don't like the idea of being limited to one specific coin with the miners.

Having doubts about GPU vs Miners, bump.

>> No.2461030

Nevermind, I'll just go with graphic cards. Better selling market in case everything flops.


Need to know what's better, AMD vs Nvidia in terms of what coins to mine.

What about solar technology? Are they worth investing into to mine coins?

>> No.2462233

>>2462092
In perfect conditions - full sun, government grants - the ROI for solar is decades. In less-than-ideal conditions - stock firmware, high power costs - the ROI for mining hardware is months. Putting money into solar instead of mining is retarded.
