Hey man, cool! Glad you found a use for heating your basement from mining! haha...

You can also use afterburner to undervolt your GPU to save on power costs.

Feel free to let me know if you need any help and welcome to the mining family!

Not only are you heating your basement but you are contributing to the decentralization of one of the best projects in crypto.

Monero is an outstanding crypto project and has one of the best teams in the industry.

Keep up the good work!

P.S.

I made a video recently that shows how to mine a coin that forked from monero that uses less power to mine so it might be another way to save you some electricity costs:

You can always use the bittrex exchange to trade TUBE for XMR if you'd rather hold XMR but I figured this might lower your costs a little.
