Title: I want to hire someone to set up mining for me
Post by: gvuandrew on March 04, 2016, 06:27:33 AM
Hi, I need to mine a small amount of bitcoins per month, equal to just $100/month to pay for my bitcoin expenses.

I don't have the time to 'learn' the process, I just want to pay someone that will set it up for me, tell me exactly what VPS I'll need, what software I must have, and just explain how to set it up and answer basic questions.

Please let me know if anyone is interested in helping and how much you will charge, feel free to PM me as well

Well, you can't mine bitcoin on a VPS, unless you have physical access to the server running the VPS. And in this case, you'll just use your VPS to run your ASIC.
To mine $100 worth of BTC, you'll need to buy an ASIC. I think you'll probably need at least 5 antminer S3's to do the job (depending on your electricity rate). (EDIT: or at least 2 antminer S5's, or 15 S1's,...)

Mind you: you'll probably have a really hard time ROI'ing (recuperating the hardware cost + electricity cost), since the cost of an S3 is to high for the income you'll probably make with the ASIC

EDIT:
here are antminer's specs (given the S3's specs as example, the other ones can be found via google... You can also search for spondoolies or avalons specs): https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140630025130637RV8OhOwt06BC
here is a website where you can calculate how much money you'll probably make (the actual ammount will probably be lower, since there's a block halving coming around, and the diff will probably rise): http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator

if you have the same electricity as of of those big farm, usually around 0.05 or less cent per kw, you can buy 1 single antminer s7 and have your $100 per month, actually more, around $150

nothing difficult to learn you buy this device called antminer s7, with a 1500w psu and plug all the stuff together , then connect the miner to a pool that's it
