Title: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: mr.vivalavida on November 08, 2022, 04:01:00 PM Interested in mining bitcoin at home, I know that isnīt profitable like some years ago, but itīs an experience that I would like to live during my bitcoin journey.
Whatīs the process to mining bitcoin? Do I need an ASICs? Can I do it just with my computer? How this works, I need to go to some specific website to generate bitcoins? I'm new in bitcoin mining, so if someone can explain it to me or send me some tutorial will be great, because I have a lot of doubts and questions. Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on November 08, 2022, 06:16:36 PM Well, 1st start here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0)
As stated in that ^^, BTC mining requires using ASIC-based miners. Period. Be aware that most miners are very power hungry - as in several kw - and all of that power is transformed into a lot of heat and noise from the fans cooling them. Think a high power space heater. Because of the power needed you MUST have very low cost electric power, at least 210VAC and it must be stable. For much quieter/affordable/but slower miners there are the ComPac-F USB sticks from Sidehack (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355470.0) and the faster Futurebit Apollo miner & Node here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5340015.0) Another good place to start is the Beginners & Help section. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0) Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: philipma1957 on November 08, 2022, 09:05:37 PM yeah a lot depends on your appetite to spend .
you could buy a few bitmain s-19 xp units at 6k each and you could buy a immersion cooler for 2 k. your cost would be over 15k but it would be quiet and not need much maintenance . This would need 210-240 volts and about 60 amps to run. I would say it would be as much as a home miner would ever spend on mining. or buy an apollo as linked above. well under 1k Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: BitMaxz on November 08, 2022, 10:39:10 PM yeah a lot depends on your appetite to spend . you could buy a few bitmain s-19 xp units at 6k each and you could buy a immersion cooler for 2 k. your cost would be over 15k but it would be quiet and not need much maintenance . Why not buy the s19/pro-Hydro version instead? It's way more cheaper than buying s19 XP and immersion cooling. The only downside is that they will release the s19 hyd this December, and the pro version is next year in January. Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: mr.vivalavida on November 08, 2022, 11:09:54 PM I donīt want to spend a lot of money, something until 1k will be enough for me. However, I will think about it.
Can someone send me a tutorial (if there is any available) about a cheap mining equipment and how to set up the equipment? Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: Daltonik on November 13, 2022, 02:07:35 PM I donīt want to spend a lot of money, something until 1k will be enough for me. However, I will think about it. Can someone send me a tutorial (if there is any available) about a cheap mining equipment and how to set up the equipment? You can use the rather detailed and up-to-date instructions described in the following video, I think after that you will have more understanding in the matter of mining and many questions will disappear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsTOFpGd1aQ Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: BitMaxz on November 13, 2022, 11:21:35 PM I donīt want to spend a lot of money, something until 1k will be enough for me. However, I will think about it. Can someone send me a tutorial (if there is any available) about a cheap mining equipment and how to set up the equipment? If your purpose is for studying bitcoin mining and you don't want to spend much then go for Compact F USB miner the price of this miner I think is around 100-150$ in Amazon it's pretty cheap and you can find the guide below. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.0 Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: albertorma on November 14, 2022, 06:34:23 AM ASICs are needed. Otherwise you are not mining. You are just playing some games, which would be completly legit. You could mine with your CPU just to experiment.
If you don't have access to cheap/free electricity and intend to run a little mining farm, just don't mine. Unfortunately circumstances would be not good for you. You would be burning more and more money every day and you will very unlikely help decentralization. Generally speaking, If you have the resources and access to brand new machines, then mining is always profitable. If mining is not profitable -> miners turn down machines -> difficulty go down -> mining is profitable again. However, as you can see, bitcoin hashrate is hitting new highs every day. Profitability today is reaching new and new lows every day. This is due to technological dissemination. Every day better machines are created. This is never ever stopping, which leads to small mining operations failing. If you live in a cold country, you could use bitcoin miners to heat your house. This way you'd be yield positive regardless of the hashrate evolution. Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: sabre_labs on November 15, 2022, 05:18:55 AM As mentioned by everyone else here, go for something cheap like a USB miner or a second hand miner and run it and see if it is something you'd like to do and if it is profitable given the cost of electricity/capital cost.
Mining especially ASIC mining isn't for the faint of heart or (light of hearing). It is loud, hot and sucks tons of power and isn't a fun thing to do at home for a long period of time unless you are serious and build another shed to house the equipment and pull extra power lines over. Always know that the cost of the equipment will depreciate and the "break even" goal post tends to shift with each Diff Adjustment or release of new (faster) ASIC miner. Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: yoshimitsu777 on November 16, 2022, 07:48:12 AM but the chances of success with such small miners like gekkosciense usb miner is vanishingly small, isn't it?
wouldn't it make more sense to invest more money e.g. whatsminer and benefit from the higher hashrate and the lower total consumption in relation to the total hashrate? Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: Kryptowerk on November 17, 2022, 10:20:58 PM Just keep in mind, energy costs, aside from the initial purchase of an ASIC are everything.
Mining in Europe for example in most places within EU is so insanely unprofitable because of massively increased energy prices (+100% and more since February, with additional costs coming 2023). So, even as a hobby that you may be okay to lose some money on, be aware that if you let an ASIC run several months and energy costs are higher than your mining returns, chances are you can lose A LOT more than your initial mining hardware expenses.

Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: Kotlinor on January 13, 2023, 08:13:06 AM What should be the price of electricity to mine bitcoin at home?
Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: player1001101001 on January 13, 2023, 10:40:34 AM Bitcoin mining at home was incredibly easy from home over a decade ago when difficulty was low. Even a simple computer was able to mine couple of bitcoins every seconds.. Now bitcoin mining can only be profitable if you invest in the right tool. Today, a very complex miners are required to mine a very few sats per hour. Mining is nothing but solving complex algorithms to generate new bitcoins and add existing entries in the ledger. The greater the hashrate of your miner, the greater would be your profits. You should probably get hands on some great ASIC's to generate income from mining orelse you would end up spending more in electricity bills.

Mining from home can also be used Rig mining, which is like what is done in large mining industries, maybe in this case it requires higher power, regarding the results this might be more optimal however, you need to pay attention in terms of electricity costs in your place, if the cost low maybe we highly recommend it, and vice versa, if the cost of electricity is high it depends on your own thinking, if you are ready to take the risk you can try it.

Similar to ASIC miner, but this device is quite expensive and can consume a lot of electricity, the question is, are you ready for this cost? this is because it usually turns out to be unprofitable for most people who try it.
But if you want to try it out your other options are to join mining pools. It is a group of miners who work together to mine blocks and share the rewards. And this way you can increase your chances to mine a block and earn some bitcoins. However, you should know that Bitcoin mining is currently very competitive and it requires a lot of capital in terms of electricity, time, and hardware. So, before you make a final decision, you should consider the risks and costs involved in this matter.

Here OP needs ASIC to get maximum profit and satisfactory performance, if you want to try it and if at your place you have low electricity costs and spend some money to buy the equipment, maybe the profit will be able to replace your capital, you can also join the group other mining to gain adequate knowledge/knowledge there.

Absolutely, ASIC is very important hardware for Bitcoin mining. It is an expensive equipment where the electricity consumption is also high so the miner has to calculate the cost very carefully. Due to the impact of the war in Russia and Ukraine, electricity prices have increased significantly in many countries, making it difficult to find a suitable environment. Electricity production cost is high while its demand is increasing rapidly. The environment is not suitable for small miners due to the high cost of electricity. Mining can be done at home if there is financial solvency and able to meet the required electricity demand.Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: Daltonik on January 29, 2023, 10:50:18 AM If you are in favorable conditions in terms of obtaining energy from solar panels and have the financial ability to install solar panels, then you can significantly reduce the cost of paying for electricity for mining, but again this requires an initial significant investment. :)

There is some truth in what you say, it's a little bit okay, but nowadays bitcoin mining is quite expensive because the mining rigs like Asic are expensive now. and the most important thing is that your electricity consumption should be cheap because otherwise, no matter how good your Asic is, your profit will only go to paying for your expensive electricity consumption, that's the truth, so others say it's better just buy bitcoin instead of that. Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: Litzki1990 on March 15, 2023, 06:26:25 AM Before doing Bitcoin mining, you must consider its profitability and then decide on mining. Because mining usually requires a lot of electricity. You can't just mine Bitcoin with a computer. And currently electricity prices have gone up a lot so if you're mining at this stage I think you'll be multiplying losses rather than profits. So before risking your money, you must consider whether you can succeed in mining or whether you can profit from it. Because the purpose of all Bitcoin mining is to make some profit, if that profit is not there, then there is no point in Bitcoin mining.
Title: Re: Bitcoin mining at home Post by: bettercrypto on March 15, 2023, 03:18:41 PM Bitcoin mining at home is actually no joke in this day and age.

Especially if you know yourself that your electricity consumption is expensive. But if your electricity is cheap, I can say that you should continue mining bitcoins at home. Even if one has very cheap or free electricity, Bitcoin mining isn't really as profitable as it used to be in the past, especially if you are trying to do it at home. I think a person would only waste the money he spends on the hardware bought and will get nothing as much as he wishes for since the difficulty of mining blocks is becoming more and more over time.And you must have knowledge about bitcoin mining as well, it won't be possible because you just thought, or you just heard that your friend is making money from bitcoin mining, it's not like that, remember that. A miner will need to have very high hash rates in order to be able to mine blocks and even after that, he wouldn't earn as much as someone might think. So basically, mining isn't a profitable thing anymore. I would rather buy and store Bitcoin than have a hassle like that.

Get an old Antminer S9 for a good price, plug it in and start learning how mining works. At the very least youll learn a bunch and stack a few KYC-free sats.
Dont forget to try out solo mining. |
