How to start mining

[FP91G]

It’s possible, but depends heavily on electricity costs and the gear youre using. Don’t go in expecting big profits without doing the math first. You might want to look into pools like emcd to get started with steady smaller payouts instead of solo mining

Where do you think a newbie will get at least 10-20 kilowatts of power at a good price?
This is all good in theory, but when you start mining in practice, you have a lot of problems, because mining is usually not entirely legal.

Home mining isn’t really worth it unless your electricity is dirt cheap. I’ve been using hashmole instead since I don’t want the heat and noise at home. It pays out daily and I don’t waste time fixing hardware. For me it’s more of a way to stay involved in mining without turning my place into a sauna.

Let’s say I buy a Bitaxe 4TH to mine at home, would you recommend leaving it in a pool or mining solo?

Bitcoin.

Easy to buy, harder to mine.

As a newbie you are, to mine Bitcoin it depends on two things.

1. Your electricity must be very cheap.
2. Your pocket must be heavy.

It costs a lot to mine Bitcoin in 2025 and its only getting started, mining isn't for many people anymore, there are also some things that can happen after you get everything running.

A hardware part can die on you, how long your equipment will last will always remain a misery.

I will choose to buy and hold or else I really want to mine as a hobbist, the past you was a miner? If no I recommend you think this through very carefully.

Well I do not think anyone can go big and make good money anymore.

You can go small and if you need a space heater it is okay to do.

but to think you can buy a container and fill it with 100 miners and play with the big boys  nope I would advise against it.
