Why even bother to mine with a few minres and earn a couple of dollars a day. Mining is only worth it if you can build a big farm with a lot of capital. Most of you guys are better off working a regular job and just buying crypto.
If you where a small miner 10 years ago , and mined only 100BTC with a few gpu's , and saved that 100 BTC , what's that 100 BTC worth today ?
If you where a small miner and mined a 100 ETH in 2013 easy with a few gpu's, and seaved that 100 ETH , what's that 100 ETH worth today ?
And there is to many examples like those above to write it down in this topic ...
Think this way , then you are going to understand why is worth mining as a hobby just with a few gpu and save those coins ...
its a kind of lottery , but you might can hit a jackpot
If you already have a hardware why not using that hardware for mining ...I think a lot of us started as a hobby miner ...
