RE: Mining Dash at Home: Month 2 Update
Yeah, I tried mining on my laptop back in 2012, but it was already too slow by then. So I didn’t get into mining seriously until last fall, when I came across a sales offer on that ‘Yukon’.
I have a few contracts with Genesis Mining, cloud-mining ZCash, Monero and Dash. Most of them are profitable already, after just six months. I wish I invested more in them last fall. Their profitability jumped up recently, when the entire cryptosphere market cap increased tremendously.
Oh yes, I would love me a few more Cubes or, ideally, a Cube Quad or two… If only it wasn’t a major headache getting one’s hands on one. Baikal is a very difficult company to order from. Even to get this one Cube that I now happily own was a very time-consuming and nerve-wrecking experience. Only my persistence made it possible.
Glad ur mining exeriences are going well. Sound really cool. I also wish I invested more. That cube looks pretty amazing yes. I have not seen a miner like that before. I only know the antminer series. Hehe.. For now I'm just going to invest as much as I can into steemit and enjoy the ride. Know it is going to take some time. But it's ok. Hard work will eventually pay off i hope.
It always does. Hard work, smart work, persistency and faith in yourself (not caring what others think/say about you and your ideas) = recipe for success in life.
Baikal miners are state-of-the-art machines. Energy-efficient (mine consumes 60 Wt only), compact, light, quiet and crazy profitable at the moment. The only problem – it’s hard to obtain them. They go for double and triple price on eBay from resellers. And there are scammers too, who pose as Baikal.
I still need to get a handle about not caring about what everyone thinks or says. Will slowly get it.
Yeah I never heard of those miners before. What's the hashrate on yours?
It’s 300–310 MH/s, mining on X11, Quark, Qubit, X13, X14 and X15 algorithms. So it’s not directly comparable with Bitcoin’s mining algorithm and Bitcoin miners’ hashrate. You cannot mine Bitcoin on it, only DASH, MUE and a whole bunch of other coins and assets based on the algorithms listed above.
That's pretty decent mate! For such a small little cube. Amazing. The power consumptions is also very low. Wooow. Really cool how they have developed the technology for these things. What did you pay for it?
I paid 0.8 btc in total, if I include the shipping fee, the tax, the cost of the power supply unit (which I had to buy separately, as well as the power cord). I expect to recover the full investment in 5–6 months. And from then on it will be free money, baby! :D
A bit pricey but hey, it's going to pay for itself. Sound investment mate. Really cool! Too bad they are so hard to get.
