I started mining crypto relative late just from December 2017 and back than I brought one GTX 1080TI just to try and learn crypto. back than was profit amazing around $5USD per day. after electricity cost.
here you can see video about my first setup:
this rig was on Nicehash and it was ok but not very stable …. so I started to look for better solution and I find Simplemining OS ! good and reliable …
and I was on way to buy more GPUs as 1080ti was best card back then I brought another …
with two GPUs on one Motherboard with one 750W PSU it was ok stable and I thought about another gpu…. my rig started to make nice profit … of course initial investment was high but with profit back then was ROI just under 100days ….
and I got another card…
and I collected more and more crypto currency …. from nice hash it was Bitcoin (BTC) and from SMOS I mainly mined Zcash (ZEC) . web wallets started be in my eyes bit unsafe especially after nicehash hack in December 2017 where was website and miner down for about 3weeks.
I brought external Crypto wallet ( Ledger Nano S ) I saw nice recommendation from VoskCoin (youtube and Instagram) absolutely amazing wallet nice and safe!
and after this I was in heaven crypto market was over $1000000000000 usd and unstoppable rise! I end up with 4 gtx 1080ti mining garden two cards directly on Motherboard and two plugged in PCIE risers … obviously my 750w psu was short for all gpu so I got another 750w gold rated psu and now with 1,5kw total my “mining garden”runs smoothly .
rig producing in average 2,7sols /s (equihash) and with electricity cost of $0,2 – monthly running cost is $150 usd
all was amazing ….
and then all started crypto market crashed all cryptocurrencies including OG Bitcoin went down 40-60% thats meant even my saved crypto on ledger wallet worth less and less profits from GPUs went down and everyone started to cry about it and then market correction dropped price down .
right now is 22th of March 2018 and crypto market is at $334,868374067 usd
Bitcoin ($8694 usd)
Zcash ($247usd)
I still run my mining garden because I believe it will reach even higher than last highest point in december 2017 .
Please note: crypto market is very volatile and think twice about your investment .
Happy mining…
