My mining career has finallly come to a certain end after 4 years because my rig of RX 480 8GB will simply never be profitable again at £0.28 per KWh regardless of what the crypto market does.

All I see on EBay is people failing to sell rigs because they're asking +30% or more on the parts value. So far I've had no interest and mine is priced -10% on parts value so basically cheaper than building it.

I'm thinking that there is potentially just ZERO demand at any pricce for an RX 480 8GB rig in the UK because everyone is getting fucked by the £0.28 KWh. But I don't know any other miners so I came here to ask whether many of you have alternate sources of electricity like renewables or through a business or if we're basically all in the same boat now?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Don't know what the best advice is but I have seen people building solar energy for their farm and they claim its efficient in every way, will cost you more money but pay on the long term. Go YouTube you will be many using solar energy for mining.

I pay full rate in Netherlands at €0.335 kWh variable rate so I do keep a close eye on my power consumption.
Mind you I mine with a RX 6600 XT ASRock Challenger Pro D at less than 64W hashrate abt 33.5 MH/s. while I do also some other things on my rig, compiling/video convertion and so on which can be done with my 5800x so at the wall it's abt. 171W. This way I can keep the energy costs down.
GPU only with idling CPU at the wall abt.120/130W.
