I’m considering using GPUs for Bitcoin mining instead of ASICs. With family investment experience and a small shed available, should I join a mining pool or operate solo?
hey nina, even though gpu minng isnt as effecient as asics for bitcoin, joining a pool might give steadier rewards. its a good way to learn the game. test the waters small scale and upgrade once you gain more experince. good luck!
hey nina_63paint, i think it’s really cool that you’re jumping into bitcoin minng at such a young age! honestly, i’ve been reading about gpu minng and while i think it’s a neat way to learn about the whole crypto ecosystem, it might not be the most efficient if you’re aiming for huge profits right away. i mean, havent you considered how mining pools might offer steadier, though smaller, rewards compared to the sometimes unpredictable solo minng rewards? the idea of operating solo is kinda exciting though, right? you could learn so much by being fully in control of your mining setup in your shed. i’m curious, what made you lean more towards gpu minng over asics? and do you have any plans for how you’ll expand or evolve your rig once you get more experience? would love to know your thoughts on striking a balance between low cost experimental setup and more long term serious mining. cheers!
