At op you have 2 - 3 cent power mine just don't get a lot of cards.
IF COINS GO UP YOU HAVE 2 CARDS MINING THEY MAKE MORE.
if coins go down cards are cheaper add 3 cards with the money you held back.. Then you will have 5 cards.
So you flatten your risk a lot this way.
Any one telling you any other advice is disregarding your cheap power. Which allows you to flatten risk and make a profit. If coins go up or go down.
