So, I've been pretty quiet lately, and that's because I have decided to take up mining. This here rig above has an Nvidia 1060 3Gb and 1080 8gb, and churns out approximately $9 a day using nicehash.
I will be getting another rig in a day or two, this one will have the top end amd APU, a pair of AMD RX 580s and I expect it will do me for a good 10-15ish somewhere around that.
I need to ensure my future income so I can continue to work on the Dawn Network, not be worrying about when I'm going to snag a contract. I'll be running a small farm of these rigs so I'm making enough money to cover extras that come along as well.
Oh, I forgot to mention what I am mining. I am using Nicehash: https://www.nicehash.com - windows only, it benchmarks your rig, calculates how much hash you got for each algorithm, and automatically selects the one with the biggest reward per hash. Set and forget. It is very nice indeed.
update
This is my nicehash account that I am mining with: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?utm_source=NHM&p=miners&addr=1k6YP7UMmNATXHp22aapat6yhdU4DNnxs I have a amd RX 580, and an nvidia 1060 3Gb and 1080, tomorrow i will be getting the replacement second 580, the first was DOA, this will be another $3/day worth of income.
I am moving house this weekend also, to stay with @deearchi and her man Vladimir, out of the dungeon, to nearly the top of a 10 story tower, with a perfect view of the rising sun in the morning... And then I will get back to working on Dawn, finish the protocols and start actually writing the program bits...
It's nice to finally not be having to worry about not having enough money to even have a house...
