So you guys will join a mining pool or something like that? What's the hash then? If it's too small I think you'd need a very long time just to find some sats. Doing faucet might be faster if your goal is to get a few satoshis imo. But if it's just for learning and seeing how to work things out, I guess it is worth a try.
Our gpu rig is running on nicehash and earning like a $1/day (but I have been using my phone data plan...even with IT help they could not get the miners to connect probably due to the 2rd party proxy/filter they use). As for faucets I didnt think there would be any out there any more
) I thought those were circa 2014
