  • I had the opportunity to sit down with one of the partners invested in an $80,000 mining rig pulling in $6,000 -$8,000 per month. Hopefully, these answers will help anyone struggling with the idea of getting into the mining game.
    Enjoy.

    Could you ask Joe:
    1.) When you and your partner filed for a Corporation, what business code/category did they file under?
    2.) Are you actually using Coinbase as primary way to convert coins to fiat?
    3.) Any issues with banks and crypto? What banks are friendly with the type of business you have?
    4.) .....what can you write off on taxes with your filed business?
    5.) What was your approach on choosing the location to run your miners?
    5.1.) What other hidden expenses if any did you come across when starting?
    6.) Would you consider being a "mentor" for those who seriously want to mirror your business?

    • @techbets102
      @techbets102  6 лет назад +54

      Straight from the man, himself!
      1.) When you and your partner filed for a Corporation, what
      business code/category did they file under? - LLC
      2.) Are you actually using Coinbase as primary way to convert
      coins to fiat? We are currently using Coinbase, will be experimenting with Gemini seems like we could save there.
      3.) Any issues with banks and crypto? What banks are friendly with the type of business you have? LOL, we actually had several banks turn us down freaking out about the fact we were a corporation that mined cryptocurrency. We even got escalated up to a Regional Manager who turned us down. We then went to Bank of America who promptly gave us a bank account. I feel like it was more because my partner happened upon a millennial banker who scoffed when told that we were turned down at other banks as if we were money launderers. The guy happened to own cryptocurrency himself. Great question!
      4.) .....what can you write off on taxes with your filed
      business?
      Well you certainly can write off your hardware costs, location where you are mining, gas, electricity, pretty much everything.
      5.) What was your approach on choosing the location to run your miners? We happened to have access to a large area with good ventilation. Considerations should include places that have cheap electricity and dry, no exposure to humidity, and clean - dust can kill your hardware.
      5.1.) What other hidden expenses if any did you come across when starting?
      Expenses from mistakes like burning out cards (burned a few, we will RMA but those are costs) Electricity for testing out various configurations and optimization, finding out we needed to use SSDs instead of USB sticks (it can be done but it decreases your efficiency in various ways) Cheap hardware and wiring configurations can cause headaches, not worth it, buy quality so it doesn’t crap out and you have to buy better anyways.
      6.) Would you consider being a "mentor" for those who seriously want to mirror your business? I have three business ventures I am currently running, and while under normal circumstances I would love to because this stuff is so cool and I love geeking out, I don’t think I would have the time.

It's all about patience and making sure it runs smoothly. I'm hashing a little over 50% higher than stock now using only 8% more power than stock. I had 0 malfunctions so far. I don't care about power consumption because I don't pay for it but I do care about heat. So my cards are at a constant 55 C with fans at 40%.

Its pointless sto make huge banks. if huge banks of gpus made sense for this then google would have already done it.

      They couldn't sell them as "brand new" after using them. They're just too ignorant to remove it. Besides, not removing the foil over the rear heat outlet area would definitely prove it isn't because of reselling them, since that weakens the cooling capability for the cards.

      Simerpreet Singh they charge money up front so there's immediate money, then a lot of them charge a fee on the coin mined. Since the price of mined coins can go up or down, they're at least getting money and they'll keep it running as long as it's profitable

      Direwoofles 1080tis are overpriced as fuck compared to amd gpus, and even gtx 1060s and 1070s. He's overpaying his hashrate literally twice as much.
      Also, relying on a third party like Nicehash, aside from the security risk, is a terrible idea, because their miner is not always the most efficient, and they also take their cut of the profits. You basically give away ~15% of your profits to them, which is terrible for your profitability.
      Not to mention they just got "hacked" a few weeks ago, losing millions of dollars worth of miner rewards... hell nah.

    Hi Sir,
    I'm looking forward to see all those separated racks to be managed. What Monitor software do you actually use? Is this efficient? Are all your GPU stats getting reported to the same site? I'm concerned about managing heat and performance stuff from each one of the GPUs. And what about IT security? Windows normally is the best choice for new beta drivers but, how do you prevent system intrusion? Did you think in using a linux or a dedicated OS similar to simplemining or hiveos?
    I'm planing to build several 6to13 per motherboard rigs and I'm a bit lost about what OS and monitor related software should be more escalable from start. (that would decide nº of gpus per rig for example)
    Anyone with a similar GPU build or currently managing several rigs could help me too :)
    By the way you did an excellent work there. Congrats.
