Lately getting excited about crypto mining. Current project is to complete the rig that generates profits equal to my monthly mortgage payments. Well on a way. And it's lots of fun - i never assembled computer before :) To summarise: Currently $10k investment in crypto mining generates about $1k/mo profit. You can proportionally scale it to desired outcome.

I ask this passing no value judgment myself: how do you feel about the ethics of crypto mining?

I think crypto mining can be ethically and ecologically balanced:

- in summer make sure to use solar power, and pump waste heat into pool or hot water tank

- in winter just heat your house, even better if you utilise co2 emission free source

- autumn/spring - mix both

Recuperation of crypto mining waste heat can be a real household saving.

about 250$ / mo mining crypto on the home machine

How? That's like $8 a day. Can a 3080 even do that?

I've got two cards, a beefy one that only does crypto all the time and an older one that does display and crypto at night.

The biggest learning bump has been temperature and air flow control. But winter's coming so that should be pretty easy.
