Arrival of First Graphics Cards For Mining

The day has finally arrived and what an extrodinary abount of money has been spent!

Three 5600XT's made by ASUS have arrived by mail this morning and I am now literally strapping graphics cards to a block of wood in my kitchen.

The CPU has also been installed and the ram has been slotted in, its a Intel Celeron processor and 4GB DDR4 ram, I seriously hope thats enough RAM to get it working.







UPDATE:

The cards are now mounted and it will soon be time to turn the first rig on, im seriously expecting this to  blow up, im also having to re-install the fans as those cards were much larger than expected.

Slightly concerned as to how much this is going to cost in electricity, I do not have a smart meter and currently run of a key meter, I think trips to the post office are going to be extensive.

Another job crossed of todays list is the cable managment, which has been secured with loverly black cable ties.

TOMORROW THIS GETS TURNED ON!

So its been a while, Rig 2 had major glitches and keeps crashing every now and then, Rig 1 is also on the blink today, Im thinking it may need the cards flipping rigs. While they are currently being good, I have ordered some hard drives to try my hand at CHIA mining, yes mining has now come to the good old hard drive. I purchased these two 16TB My Book Duo External Drives which have cost me close to £700 and this could get interesting! UPDATE: Hard Drives Installed and Mining and I have now learn how to install large drives in windows 10, not sure on this one but gotta try new things, literally cannot fit any more bitcoin mining rigs in this house haha.... I NEED TO MOVE! Anyway.... the CHIA revolution has begun, lets see if I get any!

October Begins And Something MASSIVE HAS ARRIVED!

Image
Well folks, October could be our month as it has started off on an amazing note with our very first RTX 3090 arriving in the post on the 4th october, never thought I would see this day but its finally here! This thing literally cost a fortune, however, it has increased my mining profits to over £700 per month after electricity, which has now gone up in price by £0.03p/KwH. Bitcoin took a small tumble today, however its still sitting close to $57K and looks set to blast off again later in the month. The 3090 was a tight fit into the BEAST and the internet suffered an attack with a major Facebook outage on the same day I installed the card.... wonderful! On the 7th October, I got a notification from HOTBIT exchange that SHIBA INU has taken off... looks like buying that SHIB has paid off from last year!!!  Now $40 in profit!  The market price of SHIB is at $9.1B, its mental! Now at over 120,000 Pi Network Coins and things are going to get very interesting (yes a car for Pi) as we...

I'm Moving House! Its Time To Get Off This Crazy Electricity!

Image
The time has come and moving day is not far away! I have managed, through a good friend, to aquire a 2 bedroom house in the middle of knowhere and away from the crazyness of the town where I live. Big plans are afoot and as you can see from the picture above, the boxes to move all the mining equipment have begun to be assembled. There are 2 reasons for moving, I need a three bedroom house eventually but for now this givesd me 2 bedrooms for more space, dedicated mining office and dedicated electricity supply. I have also aquired a new internet router from EE which is a 4G MiFi router and works without a phone line, meaning I will soon be mining on their 4G network! In other news I have been mining a new coin on my phone called Pi Network and have about 8,000 coins atm with more people joining all the time, prices of this coin at launch could hit $1.50, could bne interesting and I will keep you updated! Hard drive mining is crap, nothing yet and its been a while now, might need to find ...
