I am frustrated at the lengths we individual miners must go to in order to compete with CORPORATIONS that only have to expend the effort it takes to wiggle their pinky finger and drop 100 million dollars on mining equipment and the datacenters in which to run them.

Yes, I am a common man.  I am currently unemployed.

If you are doing this as a hobby, I advise you to choose another hobby.  The costs of keeping your miners running will eat you alive.

I've been mining since January, 2014.  I've spent much of my life savings and credit to get seriously into mining.
