Yeah I remember back to the days of mining BTC with GPUs in 2011. I had horrible internet and power access at my mining location, so of course I would get notifications at 3:30AM that all the rigs went offline. I would get out of bed, drive to the location which was in a very bad part of town I carried mace or a crowbar with me, and then have to reset the miners only to get the same notification as soon as I got home. Some days I would mine an 0.2BTC which was hard to come by because MtGox stopped taking Dwolla or something like that so mining was my only option.

Sometimes it's just easier to just click the buy button and eat pizza while watching fellow miners on Youtube fight with rigs lol.

When you don't have to actually manage the farm in person it's a lot less worrisome... it lets you focus on just securing the coins and running the operation. For most of us in the mining forum it is messing around with the hardware that we all find attractive, much more so than monetary contributions at times (because who doesn't like looking for a dropped screw in a running rig with ambient temps of 95F with lights low to save heat/power).

Wow, 131 cards rig that's huge!! After the addition of those rigs, what's the investment value is at right now?

With the increase of 98 cards, there's bound to be a nice surge of electric fee for you, right?

Are you selling the ETHs you earned right away or HODLing them to get a better rate during the ETH 2.0 mainnet hype? I for one am not selling the ETHs I am getting using mining.

Hey Bruce,

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy following your thread. 

I'm canadian as well and recently started a small mining operation in a barn in the back of my yard. P106 as well, but 090, so mine are 3Gb. I can't mine ETH with that, but RVN has been my holy grail so far and pretty stable in terms of profits. Plus, those cards are so cheap it doesn't require a lot of investment. I order directly from China as well and managed to get my power cost even lower than what you're paying for; $0.045 USD per kWh. This is what makes it profitable - no way it could work with the usual power cost in the US.

Wish I could put 30K like you do, but since I can't, I hope patience will pay! It's far from you in terms of size as a project, but your numbers are a motivation somehow!

I also found the fact somehow else is hosting those rigs for you interesting; maybe it's a service I could offer at some point! I would max out my panel pretty fast, but for around 5K I can get a new one installed, so perhaps that would be worth it...

Anyway!

Wish you all the best success in that project!

You can automate it bro .. Google Sheets has easy functions to grab the information. Link it to the explorer and it should be able to get the transactions. Selling price you have to fill yourself as it is different from Exchange to another .

You hold all your ETH, why you write you sell it every day? Strange
