Hey guys,
I am a newbie with respect to mining. Boris already answered many questions but I do have some more. As I don't want him to waste time on answering my questions, maybe you could help out:
1) Once I put up my mining rig and got everything running, can I just leave it alone and it will keep going? How much maintenance and supervision (updates or whatever) is required? Is it a problem to leave the system alone for a whole day (12-16 hours)?
2) The power required to run the GPUs, does it increase proportionally to the number of GPUs deployed?
3) Can you put that system up in your bedroom? I have an open apartment with one huge single room
4) Any other general recommendations apart from the hardware?
Thx and cheers!
1. Miners require very little maintenance. Once you have things configured they should run without issue. For the first few days you should check up on them but afterwards you can leave them off your mind.
2. Yes it is proportional. Or in computer science terms it is linear. The only tricky issue is figuring out how much the non-GPU system components consume.
3. It is safe but you might not like the noise if you plan on running it during the night.
4. You should try to run things 24/7 to maximize capital utilization.
