Hello all.  I am newly married and my wife does not like the fact that I am so heavily consumed by charts and trading and bitcoin, altcoin etc.   She also does not want me to get into a high powered mining operation.  But I still want to mine over the next year or so with little noise and power.  Would this be worth it in long run?

Maybe a couple of them.  One to mine monero and one to mine eth.

Any help would be appreciated.


NO in one word you could build your own system with a better card if you shop around for the parts for about the same with up to date parts  an get more for the money .

She does not believe in it or know the immense scale of it.   She is not against me bringing home income.  She does not like the idea of using lots of power.  I will have a budget of about 1200 in a few days and maybe more.  Thanks.

I could come up with maybe 2200 buy end of december.   I am mainly interested in mining an altcoin that will rise in the future.  She does not like the fact that I spend so much time trading what little I have.  .04 btc

Try to get her to be interested in learning about new things. 10 years ago my wife hardly knew the difference between a toaster and a computer. Now she runs our small mining farm.

mining is a awesome thing to do if you get hooked, you can't stop .. or you can stop but it's hard to stop once you start mining, if you like it . it can become a nice addiction with nice side affect  and the stuff you learn over time is Amazing ..
