RE: Adventures of STEEM mining PART 3
I "mine" by writing but I really do wish I knew how to mine for real. I'm a bit of a crypto-noob. I have heard it's tough to get traction with the costs of electricity, etc. How is it working out for you?
The cool thing about Steemit is that there a ton of reward methods! You can author. Not a blogger? You can curate! Don't wanna do that? Invest! No money? Mine! Haha..
Right, mining cryptos in general is hard to ROI. Especially if you've bought expensive graphics cards or dedicated mining hardware. The electricity is a major factor along with the initial expenses. For Steem, it is CPU only. I guess I might be spending a quarter or so of electricity per day mining on the tower, but otherwise, I would have had the tower turned on anyway.
