Well guys... sold my small business (restaurant), bought a shitload of GPUs.. and now I realize I may not know what the fuck I'm doing. I've got almost 70 cards running (mix of 1070s and 1060s, mostly 1070) mining rvn, getting like 1,500 a day or something like that. Overall at current prices, making like $430 a week before power. Which isn't shit. I realize I can go nicehash and make more probably but I'd be making maybe $600-$650 with nicehash or ethereum or zcash (probably a bit less with zcash at current prices).. My point is, is this the best way to go about it? Mining something speculative, or mining the most profitable coin at the time and exchanging to speculation? I need to liquidate at least some of my monthly earning to get by, but either way, it's a meager existence, and eventually, these cards will crap out despite my best efforts to keep them running at 65 Celsius, and I'll have nothing. Does anyone have any advice for me? Is it really true that 70 fucking Nvidia GPUs can only earn you round-a-bout 2k-2.4k a month after power?? Did I just screw myself??

I understand you, friend, I also took a risk. I sold my car for 3000 to build a rig of 6.

But the world is for those who risk

Hopefully it was an extra car that you didn't really need. To the OP ... The only people screwing themselves are the ones who cashed in something that they "needed" ... Maybe the OP needs his restaurant income on a daily or monthly basis ... Maybe you need your car for something ... You can't make it in mining and look at it as something that provides daily income, unless you've been mining for a couple of years. Cashing out for fiat daily, even if you bought your gpu's back in Oct/Nov/Dec is a losing game. And if you overpaid for GPU's in Jan or Feb of this year just to get started ... You're in for an even longer game.
