I was doing Monero mining for a bit on my gaming rig, and it was doing pretty good, but man did my office get HOT. I then did the math on electricity usage, and coupled with that cost plus my hot office plus having to listen to the fans on that PC running at max power all the time...I decided it wasn't worth it.
Would really love to mine, but only if the electricity was free (like it is in some countries).
hahaha. I am not loosing money on electricity at the moment and the extra heat makes my cold office less cold. One of my goals for this year is to set up a rig in my basement that is headless and dedicated to mining whatever coin I chose that day/week/month.
The wife and I plan on getting a solar roof from Tesla and that will make the cost of electricity even cheaper. (minus the cost of the roof though lol)
someday we'll heat our homes with mining rigs...
too bad we can't cool our homes by spending that mined crypto
seems logical enough 😃
