Building wealth must start somewhere

in #story • 7 years ago

I started with one AMD Radeon RX 460.

I knew I wasn't going to mine fast with this little guy but I WAS mining. Like I said, you have to start somewhere

Next paycheck, I bought another RX 460. At the time, all the bigger cards had been sold out. I also bought the motherboard, power supply, CPU, and pvc needed to build my rig

Now I'm getting better results but I need more

I'm going to keep buying a graphics card every two weeks. I have been mining for about a month now and so far, I am happy with what little I have made. It's not much but it proves that if I keep going, I'll eventually be able to buy more miners with just the income from mining.

    Good post. I'm following, hopefully to get some tips. I'm starting with an old Geforce GTS 450. 1Gb RAM... So everything is taking forever. Ether's DAG is too big so am focusing on Monero for now. I've earned about $2 in a week but like you said, we all gotta start somewhere!

      I did the same thing with an r7 240. The only thing that made me really start doing something was when I decided to start throwing a dedicated amount of money at it every paycheck. And I would be happy to give you some tips!
