Mining with Limited Technical Skills

[leonix007]

Some people tend to ride in Mining boat even has limited or specifically no knowledge about basic PC troubleshooting/technical aspects.

What they could possibly do is to hire or seek help from friends or relatives to do the dirty job.

Are there any people here succeed on this setup? There might be some newbies who plan to join the tide, and this might be a good reference if they could at least know the success rate on mining for them.

I consider myself pretty smart on technology but hands on was a different story.  I would say my technical skills were very low when it came to building a rig and writing scripts.  Once I dove in and found a friend who taught me how to build a rig I now understand the whole process as he made me do all the work and just explained it to me as we went, which I recommend you do if you can.  Once I was up and running I spent many hours on this forum and youtube reading and watching videos.  I managed to figure alot of things out on my own and where I was lost I asked for help.  People here have been very helpful as long as you do some of the research yourself and are not asking the most basic of question you will usually get a good answer.  I have been trying to return the favor as much as I can to newcomers. You can do it, just spend the alot of your time reading and watching videos.  You will pick it up in no time.

I think building a mining rig is not that difficult, the only thing is making some quick searches and find reference from youtube.
Some of my friend who have limited skills on PC and Electrical, they still could build and handle it. They just asked me at the beginning about prices, and some minor errors.

  I have very basic knowledge of computers from years spent gaming. Actually building a computer of my own, or anything more than upgrading ram/gpu was more than i ever wanted to take on. I looked into mining currency about a month ago and found Voskcoin on Youtube. With information i got from him I built my first rig two weeks ago. Since then i have been blowing the dust off old gaming pc's that quit on me in the past and trying to figure out what i can use to piece together another miner. I am having an absolute blast. If i had any idea how much fun this would be i would of started long ago. These forums have been very helpful as well. Honestly though i am very reluctant to post here. I have seen people get mad about people posting to increase post count, or rank. Something along those lines. Haven't figured out why people are interested in forum rank yet so i will just keep reading and learning for the most part.

So I guess, It is a requirement at least. If you don't have it, take time to Read, Explore and learn the technical skills.

mining is not that easy way to profit,the risk is at stake and the failure of what you expect to earn according to what your friends told you or what you have read here in crypto.the OP is right in everything he says.we must be capable on basic pc troubleshooting.you can lose your miner or even your house the error happens..because it involves electricity and heating process

Have U tried dentistry or surgery??

I highly suggest you let friends have you operate on them or do a root-canal on them,and then if the patient didn't die,you will know your ready for this hobby.

U can't do shit on ONE CPU or GPU, minimal is a RIG, minimal cost for a rig is $1500 USD ( figure 6 gtx1060-6 ), then consider spending $100/month for power, then consider making $10/day less $3 for power,

This is a hobby that pays $7/day, is this really what you want out of life?

Again, do some abortions on 14 year girls, and save your money, and then buy an entire warehouse of gpus.

MINING investment $1500, net $7, or $210 month payback is 7 months, then your rolling in $200/month, in a third world country like africa/india, u will be doing good, in USA, that will not even get u laid on one night date.

If U want to mine, first go live in 3rd world country where ppl earn $3/day, then  U will be RICH.

In first look mining is simple process: take the needed software and run, but sometimes mining makes me confused, despite the fact that I'm a specialist in IT

Due to vast information on the internet on mining,a little knowledge in basic computing can help one set a mining rig without much difficulties.

If the friends you are talking about are Professional and licensed then why not, is it?

If you could read previous threads, it has involved a great sum of money, So I don't think this is only a hobby like you're talking about, this is about business I guess.

It is not that difficult to learn the basics of mining. You have a forum like this to get help at any point. You must be patient and cautious

[Ojengonggu]

Be careful and understand the instructions is a way to be able to mine for those who do not know how to mine and ask in forums like this or share with friends because most who still do not master how to mine will act in haste.

You do not need much technical skills to set a minig rig

I am also interested in this mining thing but also have limited knowledge in technical skills what I do is to read,research and find some reference that can help me whe somethings wrong with my pc.

I have limited computer knowledge myself, i only k ow how to use a computer lol. But ive spent alot of time researching on gpu builds and got into mining.. ive fully built a facility from ground up, built doezens of gpu rigs and been dabbing into alot of asics now. I never yet hired anyone with any it skills to help me. Except for my networking setup at my facility. Other than that i can say im having no more issues yet.. it has and is a fun learning experience.

To be frank,  everyone spends required time in learning the subject required before pitching into it.  Even you would have come through this stage.  There is no restriction on anybody to learn or do something they are not familiar with.  Some may start up mining with their basic knowledge and slowly get more deeper into it. I appreciate your concern that one should be skilled enough to mine.  You still can spend your kind time to educate those whom you are thinking they are not up-to the mark. This would help them and as well as everyone.

Never even built my own computer before June of this year. Now I've got an 8 card rig mining flawlessly that I built/configured myself and prepping to build out 4 more. Be prepared to read a lot of forums, watch hours of youtube how-to videos and be ready for some long nights troubleshooting. LEARN TO GOOGLE, you can literally find anything you'd ever need online just gota learn how to find it. Also, don't get frustrated when things don't work right away, it's never as easy as the youtube video makes it look but trust me there's a solution out there somewhere. Anyone can learn to build/mine, just need to be willing to learn on the fly and be ready for lots of trial and error.

It appears that very difficult to explain mining process to people without technical skills. Many think that it's very easy to make money by mining and can't understand that mining is enough complex job
