I mine Ubiq as I believe in the project long term. I had a lot of AMEX points built up over the years so decided to use the points to buy the rig. Spent around $3k (in point value not actual cash) to get a 6 GPU rig set up. Being new I literally had zero knowledge about mining but had been reading up on crypto and mining since January of 2018. But I knew I wanted to find away to get involved and invested into something that might likely see a high return in the future.

Anyway I purchased 6 Diamond rx580's 8gb GPU's off amazon along with 2 PSU's and a Asrock Pro BTC H81 with a cheap intel processor. (I know..."Diamond" --- seems no ones heard of them but I promise these GPU's do exist). I've been mining Ubiq for about a month now and while I'm still tweaking my rig I get between 3.5 - 4.5 Ubiq per day. On around 175 Mh/s average in the pool. I pay about .0571 kw per hour where I live so I think that's about average in the U.S. And since I didn't really spend anything for the rig; I wanted to get involved in a "mine & hold" coin that I think has a real future. Lastly I'm pulling about 850 watts from the wall.

Hope these are some facts to help you make a decision.

Also, I love Maxhash and mine Ubiq in their pool. They are great, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. They do jackpot giveaways weekly and only charge a fee if the pool produces.
