I found a lot of profit in mining Bulwark (BWK) recently

I bring in about 12 full BWK coins a day on my rigs which translates to about $108-128 per day depending on the current market price

For me that was more profitable than zCash or ETH which I was mining previously but mining for BWK is considered "Speculation Mining" I suppose and I'm just kinda banking on the fact that I hope to see the price take off in the coming months which is why I'll just stockpile these coins for now since they're easily obtained mining.

Also look into GOA Coin, 24 hour profits look good but I don't stand as confidently behind the price of GOA going up as I do BWK

I use this one and convert anything I want into Ripple - Don't have to go to the exchanges now to pick up some Rip's

It's the best one out there , by far

currently on suprnova but numbers dont match whattomine so Ill probably move my rigs today. It still better than asicpool.

since this morning, dont use asicpool btw

Lyra2v2 on HashRef... Giving the best profit in poor times as long as there are a few miners with strong hashing power and server don't get saturated. Vertcoin probably retrieving the most profit, but it requires patience.
~5$ per 1080Ti.

Yup. On a nice day 33c max, 29/30c at night. During hot days, 36-38c

There was once -- the whole week was too hot - 38-40c - some El-Nino event - 5mins inside the warehouse and I almost fainted because of the high temps, noise from fans running 100% and EMPs from the rigs, that was when I got that 2 x blower last year.

I also slowly discovered what components of the rigs were not up to the standard of 24x7 mining.... the obvious culprits were the cheap network cables going bad, Gen 1 USB risers and poorly built 4-pin molex. The EVGA PSUs worked like a champ even on high temp conditions.

Those times were stressful because the farm was crunching ETH all day - high electricity consumption, too much heat too. Power tripping became frequent - probably due to overheating PSUs. Those capacitors on the USB risers popping like popcorns with crackwhip sound occurs occasionally too. Probably due to heat and sub-standard build from Gen 1 USB risers from my R9-390 rigs circa late 2015-early 2016.

During this life after ETH, we have a combination of ZEC and XMR mining so the temps are not too bad - but when its hits 36-37c (near 100f) on a hot day - I turn on the blower to reduce temps by at least 2c.

SIGT right now. There are a ton of algos 10-20% less profitable than SIGT, like zec and skein.

So with Micro Inverters, you have one on each panel.  You then string the inverters together, up to 15 max, and then connect them to a 240V 20A breaker and you're done.  These are grid tie inverters, so they won't even turn on until they see a solid 240V @ 60Hz coming from the grid.  Also, when the grid goes down, they immediately shut down.   This a mandatory safety feature so that linemen working on the lines won't get zapped from a gried tied system putting power out across a downed grid.

To monitor the production of the individual panels, you'll want this guy:

http://www.doubleradius.com/Manufacturers/sunMAX/Ubiquiti-sunMAX-Solar-Gateway.html

It snaps onto the side of the solar panel array and has an Ethernet port and can handle about 60 panels.  It communicated with the micro inverters using low power Blutooth.  That's what those antenna's you see are for.  The Solar Gateway has a build in webserver that you can point a browser to and see solar production data for each panel, as well as the overall production from all panels in the array.

I went with Ubiquiti sunMAX.  I have a lot of their network gear and have been very pleased with it, so I figured I'd give the sunMAX solar products a shot.

260W panels are $203:

And their 250W inverters are $92:

So for under $300, you have a 260W setup.  I got 80 panels and micro inverters, so 20.8kW system for $23,600.  To that cost you add mounting hardware (roof or ground mount) and then misc hardware and electrical.  Still, at the end of the day, your cost is about $1.50 per Watt if you do it yourself.

I was a very early customer of theirs, and I did have 20 out of 80 inverters fail within the first 6 month due to them all being from a pre-release batch that should have never been in the wild.  But they shipped 80 new inverters and I have only had to use 20 of them so far.  This is way I'm looking at doing another array since I already have the inverters.  I have had no failures from the replacement inverters.

I have a 20kW solar array that I installed myself.  Total cost was around $30k all inclusive.  The quotes I got were over twice that.

I have a net metering agreement with my POCO, so what I don't use goes back on the grid and the POCO credits me at the same rate I pay, so 1:1.  I'm in VA.

Before I started mining, I was actually building up a bank of kWh with the POCO since I didn't consume as much as I generated.

In June I generated 2,580 kWh and consumed 2,348,

In July I started mining and generated 2,846 kWh and consumed 3,974 kWh.

August was crazy hot.  I generated 2,474 kWh and consumed 5,245 kWh.

My kWh rate is fixed year around and is about $0.12 with everything included.  With the solar and assuming I consume twice as much as I generate, my effective rate is about $0.06 per kWh.  I plan to add another 6.5 kW array, which I can do for about $4,800 since I already have the inverters and just need to get the panels and some Ironridge rails and hardware.

solar array and battery is not the array we have.

 we sell back to the grid

what state are you in.. some states are very good some states suck.  with tie back to the grid laws.

I am in NJ we have good rules to sell excess power back to the grid.

we split coins 50-50

he has zero risk for gear
I have zero risk for power.
