The Dagg giveth nary a fuck. I bought 2 rigs for $5700 and they kick out a moving target of gross $20/day = $600/mo. Now I JUST moved them home for the first time yesterday, and the reasons are because I want to tinker and I want to make more. www.whattomine.com says I should be grossing 10% more than I am, even if I am just hashing ETH like I was.How are you getting along these days with your rigs? What's your currently monthly net dollar-wise, if you don't mind me asking?
But now that these are home, it's time to improve:
1. Airflow(keep them cooler): Tonight I found some fans that the previous home owner had left in a crawl space, so each rig is now getting extra air. The short term data could be noisy, of course, but it looks to have increased my hash rate already.
2. Overclocking settings for each type of card (I have 6 x 1060 and 6 x 1070). This varies by algorithm too, so I should at least figure out a few of them and be comfortable using teamviewer to remotely access everything.
3. Critically, switching algorithms. The dude running the warehouse wasn't doing this and I think it's crucial. Lots of the newer Nvidia cards do really well on Equihash, so I def need to learn the art of managing the rigs.
4. My house: I have enough space and empty circuits on the circuit board to throw down on a little bit of an upgrade to be able to add more rigs.
When it's all said and done, I think I should be netting closer to $600/month, based on WTM's numbers and some overclocking tips and results from youtube...
Now, all kinds of shit has happened awesome too:
1. I got a wealthy client because of this shit.
2. I gave some ETH to a cousin-in-law who is about to go to college (what I call "The Puberty of the Mind") and he was totally psyched on it. Hopefully I just lit the match to something big for him.
3. I have another guy who is like a mentor of mine who wants to debt finance $20K of this shit, no collateral. So obviously I am going to do it! He's waiting on me to cut the check, and I am waiting on my buddy's 1080ti's (really strong cards) to arrive so he can make all of the mistakes on putting together a monster rig, and then I will order them and he'll build for me. By then I better fucking have my house wired and my HVAC set because I'll end up with 3 monsters added to my collection and I'll be grossing $90/day, and after my amortized loan payment, I'll be making a whopping $45/day, which really sounds like way more trouble than it's worth lol. The nice thing about these rigs is that you can list them for sale and mine at the same time. Either someone hits that price and you have to order more shit, or you are making money. I like that.
4. I have another guy who I told to hold off, and he's down to do like a $50k-$100k loan, so if I make it this far, things will definitely get interesting.
The vision is own some rigs, sell some rigs, and import some shit to resell.
