I still believe that, at least if you want to make the most NIM in a short period of time, while the GHR is still low, renting cheap dedicated servers for like a month is your best option, or get free Azure/GCP credits and mine on those, but it will take multiple accounts to get a decent amount of NIM
Do you mine on a dedicated server? i want to give a try, but i'm not sure which one to go with. i'm not sure about mining on Azure, they will ban the account if they noticed extensive cpu usage.
I think you should be able to convince and think which one is best for you, because not all projects that match the private person, but actually all the projects it is nice and interesting to follow.
