Hey guys,
Today I will show you my mining rig and tell you what i mine and how you can start mining.
This is my main mining rig before I upgrade it...
And after:
If you have spare graphic card or you have free electrysity you can start mining right away, but if you don't have graphic card and you want to buy one for mining or you want to add another one this is what you need to know.
GRAPHIC CARD
Most important part for your mining rig will be graphic card, graphic card directly affect on mining performance and income. Cryptocurrency world is very unstable and mining profitability is changing every day, best way to chose your graphic card and cryptocurrency you want to mine is by going to https://whattomine.com or https://nicehash.com/profitability-calculator and see how much will your card mine per day, nicehash is much simpler and easier to use and currently more profitable than third party miners.
POWER SUPPLY
Second most important part is the power supply, try to stay away from cheap “no name” power suplies and buy something with 80 plus certificate from brends like cooler master, corsair, raidmax.. To decide how many watts you need you can look at spec list on manufacturer web site or you can buy watt meter and measure how many watts are your computer pulling from the wall.
This is example on wattmeter:
OTHER PARTS
Other parts of the computer won't affect mining performance and best way is to find some old computer and use it for minig but if you don't have old computer you can buy cheapest parts and you will be good to go.
You can se on this photo that you need fancy pc parts and fancy rig to start mining.
After you buy all the parts it's simple as stacking lego bricks, when you make your mining rig make sure that you have latest adrivers and latest mining program. Only thing left to do is to create your cryptocyrency wallet. You can create wallet on some online exchange or you can download it to the computer. When you create your wallet just copy that adress into mining softwer and strart mining.
WHAT TO MINE
As i sad best way to find out what to mine is by going to web sites like https://whattomine.com or https://nicehash.com/profitability-calculator and calculate how much will you earn with your graphic card/s.
HOW I MINE
I use nicehash mining software most of the time because it is easiest to use and have highest profitability. In my main rig i have 5 rx470's and one gtx 1080Ti and this rig earn about 25 USD/day and I am perfectly happy with that amount of money per day. But everything has its flaws, rig is pulling about 1000 watts from the wall but I will certainly spent that much on heating the room so i don't care.
