Is it a GOOD Time To Start Mining Crypto? (While I Fix A GPU)
In this video I discuss a very commonly asked question: “Is it too late to start mining crypto?” I give my thoughts as I replace the fans on a Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti.

Gigabyte gpu? Shocker. Mining for me is it's own reward. Love the content, man!
will those miners do free mining when block reward goes to zero? if not how will ppl use their coins. lol
Can’t ground through paint. Lol
I kinda quit gaming so I just leave my 3700 and my 2700x and my 5700g to mine. Like 11Kh/s in xmr and 52 Kh/s eth. Hopefully they don’t go to eth2 before the end of the year.
Bro how did you get 60mh/s at 40 degrees 120w I have the same card and get 42mh/s 57 degrees 145w. Is yours LHR? Mine yes
Where are you Mining? 🙂 Im asking due to energy costs are skyrocketing here in germany, and im Really corious if its worth starting mining for 0.44€/kWH .. Best regards! 🙂
Really helpful stuff 👍🏻
im curious what u think about the jasminer and your opinion about investing in one right now?
I think there will be a ton of opportunities to mine shortly.
Thanks for the video. Just got into mining in Feb. 2022 with a open air 6 GPU rig that has (1) 3060ti and (1) 3090. I'm a tinkerer hobbyist but have been a bit concerned about recouping the $ for the build out. We'll see how it goes.
Can someone tell me how much 2x RTX 3060 are going to make monthly with the electricity cost of 0.20$/kWH?
hi.. love this channel. Question.. should i buy 5x RTX 3070s TI, OR 2x 3090s FTW? It's roughly same price, but Nice hash calculator says the 3070s would be more profitable. What sounds like the better investment?
Spend some money on your teeth stay of the meth boy.
I just recently got started because I really like the hardware/messing around with settings things, I had a bunch of old pc parts and could sacrifice a few (like storage) from other systems i never use, so really I only bought a GPU at this time because of that, got a few friends in it too. Lots of fun. The community is great too, im expecting a loss here but I was willing to take the risk
I keep seeing these crypto investment videos. How does this work? How is it profitable?
yes its too late. no its not a good time.
P.S.: I got an OC RTX 3070 at MSRP 600 bucks and even while not even measuring in the energy cost AT ALL the thing DID NOT pay for itself from june. This is a card that is very efficient and has 62ish MHs. Complete bust this whole mining crap. Not even talking about other cards like 2060 etc. This is one big pile of idiocy.
Yes too late
Yes.
can mine on solar ?
Spoiler: Yep.
I personally think that it's not worth it anymore. All ANY government has to do to shut down cryptocurrency is outlaw exchanges and mining operations and it's all over. China is one of many nations that has already done this and I look for other nations to soon follow. The cost of equipment is way to high for such little reward. Another problem is the cryptocurrencies availability and difficulty to mine. Why get into it of you can't get hardly anything out of it? I currently mine Litecoin with my FutureBit Apollo ASIC and have been since 2020 and I still haven't broke even on it yet.
Hi Mike RedFox Crypto, Thank you for the great video! How do I get started learning to mine crypto? Is there a class you took in the beginning? How did you learn to make money mining? Thank you greatly!
what are your thoughts about Goldshell miners?
And why don't you guys like mining gpus? Other than not being able to sell them for gaming?
So what happens to all those gpus if you decided to get out now? I don't know a gamer that wants a card used to mine. Maybe when gpus are 200% markup, and impossible to find. But with inflation, gas being 5 dollars a gallon, and all the government money gone like child tax credits gpus are dropping in price, and can be found on store shelves. Well microcenter had like all the gpus 2 days ago. That would wreck the idea of selling gpus to recoup some of what you spent right?
Never had a gpu go down in 2 years because i'm a electro mechanical engineer. I also Don't expect one will go down in the next 2 years. The only problem i have with mining is the Increased Network Difficulty Ukraine. Joe Biden said with every new gpu you buy 1/2 goes to the Big Guy and you foot the bill for Electricity & Maintenance. Why have they permeated & infiltrated every facet of society i have no idea.
GPU's will go down and need to be replaced. For every 6 GPU's owned expect to lose 1 or need to repair one per year. You can expect to make approximately 3-4 times the value of your mining GPU in todays prices over time before breaking, however that does not assume potential value. Good luck to all. Mining is a great hobby and fun.
Pretty much how I started out. Using 2 GPUs I already had to mine about 110mh/s. Now I have 6 GPUs around 200mh/s and finally planning to build my first dedicated rig to add another 400mh/s for a total of 600mh/s. After that, the next goal will be 1Gh/s.
I can't believe how much I make with my 3 phones mining versus coin. Like $10 per month. Add it together with other devices, that pay bills. The decision you took on the GPU side of things is the same as mine. I first got 1050Ti just for experiment and now, I have alot of GPUs. It's never too late to start mining.
buy hardware now guys.. prices are pretty low.. profits will be low but you will still profit. prices will come back up
I have 3k I would like to start with. Not sure if that's enough or too much rn. Still trying to figure out what to buy and what to avoid
I started with 1 GPU back in 2019 and now just finished my 2nd rig with a total of 12 gpu's. It started as a hobby and now I really want a full scale farm.
I sure wouldnt go put $5k on a credit card for gpus right now
Great video, i can honestly say this was the first honest easy to understand but helpful video. Great job and becoming a big fan. Keep it coming! As a followup what is the best setup, a GPU for starting? Any advise is much appreciated!
Those fans are awful for sure. I have a bunch of RX 570s from Asus, but they have the same fan design and i just recently had 4 of them go out within weeks of each other. I'm thinking it might be to do with the dirty outside air since I mine in the garage. I noticed the exhaust fan had a lot of buildup on the inside as well.

why do you have a tether from your wrist –> your PC case??
I was thinking of buying 2 Jasminer's but I need to see if Ethereum stops Proof of Work on June 22 as they are stating. So that purchase was put on hold.
If you have 10c K/Wh electricity like some parts of the US then it's do-able. Not in the UK though with 39c K/Wh! It's far less hassle and risk just to trade it.
I don't have 10 3090's I have 8 of them lol
paid for and all profit now. landed 3 rx 6800's 2 n half months ago for 2100$ out the door. im over a gig hash now after 2 n half years. i started with 1070's n sold them.
Great video man. I also made a vid on mining with nice hash, doing a small channel plug 🙂 @

Hey man what's that blue thing on your wrist?
You just described how I got into it. That and building a coupla rigs for friends who had more cash than tekskillz, cause jobs = timesuck. Subbed!
