Hello Everyone,
I just moved into a home office to cut down on ridiculous commuting costs but have a rental agreement for the old place until December 2020. It costs me £500 per month so a friend suggested I set up a few low cost devices to mine crypto to claw something (anything!) back. I know, I'm very, very late to the party but without an option to sub-lease the office, its doing nothing and I cant see anything in the lease agreement about fair electricity usage that suggests I cant do this.
Having briefly researched the market, I see that, among the sea of sharks promising $$$ per day, most sensible people suggest this is not the best of time to start this. My goal would be to build up any funds that would cover ROI + a little to take the sting out of the £6K loss. I have only ever invested in crypto before, never mined.
Would anyone be willing to suggest a few ideas of reasonable (

) equipment to get started with? I see many of the altcoins have taken a battering recently so would appreciate what the experts in the community suggest about what to start with. Open to any suggestions.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Cheers!
20/08 - THANKS EVERYONE WHO HAS RESPONDED. I AM TAKING IN YOUR THE FEEDBACK. THINK I WILL SET UP BOTH ASIC AND GPU'S - NOISE COULD BE AN ISSUE FOR THE LATER. JUST LOOKING AROUND THE $5k MARK TO START OFF.
