From mining yeah, putting in 500 Kh. Have a lot more in genesis block that I've been holding since last year. I have a lot of faith in this coin and team and can see it doing a XRB once added to the right exchange.

digitalocean seems to be the best (price wise) from the research i have done in the past. i'm considering one of those two packages, and if i am breaking even (assuming 2.5cent/nim) then i'll keep going, or scale up. i wanna keep it small for now though, until its on an exchange so my expenses aren't too big.
