I'm
I'm getting ready to order parts for my first mining rig this week. With a view to expanding this over the next 12 months, I'm using this as a "Proof of Concept" effort, in that if it proves to be profitable, I'll be expanding to 40-60 cards early next year.
So what does this have to do with Steem and Reddit?
Well, once upon a time, I'm sure many of you were similarly nervous about getting into mining. There are profits to be made if you do things right. After 3 months of research, every time I think I'm ready to dive in, there's a cause for concern. Right now, I'm debating 1060 6Gb vs RX 580 8Gb, and considering things like the amd hashrate drop coming soon, other alt coins etc., I'm more confused than ever!
Back to the reddit/steem thing. While reddit people reply quicker than on steem, there is less encouragement there than here. I've been greeted with "this noob is in for a big shock" over there. Nice. Encouraging. But they've also got some good guides. So, rant over.
In conclusion, confused and stressed about GPU choices, nervous about actually getting into mining, mildly miffed with reddit.
Should I actually get into mining at this stage?
