I want to join this cult...i will retire mining crypto. Apart from income, i dey enjoy the thing and I dont know why. The technology dey sweet me die....I will flood my house with all types of mining machines. I will invest heavily on wind and solar plants. I even have some Antminer S5 for sale...150k if you are interested.

How many of the S5’s do you have?

inspector44:
Yes me too I have been mining for up to a year now here in Nigeria although one major challenge as highlighted on the previous post is power and I have been battling with that to survive.

Also note that the Antminer is of different size which really determines the speed at which ur Antiminer will work and also the amount of profit the miner hopes to make, there are three major commonly used ones (S5, S7 and S9) with the latest A3 which is not fully in circulation, and if you must buy go for a new one which is more advisable.

For those who want to enter into the mining club I would suggest you start with the Anitminer S9 although its expensive but with this you will get great value for what you put in

If you have made up your mind to enter into the mining business and need any of the mining machines I can help out.... Indicate and we would talk further

I am already planning on ordering an S9 to add to my machine. S7 is good enough but S9 is a beast.

If it’s not S9 ... it’s not for me

Guarantor:
Is it possible to join mining someone that already have mining machine?
what is the process

Yes it’s possible, you and the owner of the hardware will have to come to terms on how to split profits according to the amount of investment you put into his mining operation

jammer777:
@op, pls how can I reach you?

send me an email to lilkech @ outlook . com

I remember a few years ago when This op used to engage in very inspiring verbal rap battles in music section, at that time his voice carried meaning on this forum due to his obvious love for music

That time Everyone will be challenging him and hailing him ... many of those guys are not posting on NL anymore

Few of them actually made a hit track or two

But here is the op, he’s lost every iota of talent he has in music and rap

I thought it was a passing phase in his life but alas ... he has nailed the coffin closed on his music career

Now it’s baby daddy career he’s looking forward to

A moment of silence for the op

May your manhood live on

I hate this particular Camry with a passion.

Dash me and I will Immediately use it to sow seed in church

Fingerprinter:
This is very incisive. You are doing a great job.
Now, where can some buy the miner you mentioned in Nigeria. Also, where can one buy a router.
I have a modem that I'm not using currently, I also have a computer and a mobile phone. Please, direct me on where to get the remaining items.

Every item can be sourced online. You can go through hardware dealers on alibaba or aliexpress. Some other websites like eBay, amazon also stock them both new and fairly used.

If you want to buy a mining hardware please endeavor to purchase it NEW because of the accompanying warranty. It is useful to have warranty as a first time miner

So people have been mining bitcoin for years now and as the times go by the prices of these coins fluctuate relatively to the prices of other currencies in the world. As mining operations continue and more and more bitcoin transactions are sent out of one wallet to another it is imperative that the physical miners have to use their rigs to process the ‘floating’ transactions on the blockchain.

The movement of bitcoin today goes as this:

The higher the amount of individuals and corporations need bitcoin as a means of payment for goods and services - The more people use bitcoin - the more transactions are sent from wallet to wallet - The more the bitcoin miners work increases - the more difficult it gets to Mine a complete block on the blockchain network

Having this in mind it is always wise to know when to Mine Bitcoin and when not to Mine Bitcoin with your rigs (remember it is always profitable to Mine Bitcoin physically but you must consider other external factors to determine your profit margin)

People could have as much as 1-30 machines at home, companies could own up to thousands at a time but I have just one and still make my profit everyday I use my mining rig.

So how do I calculate my profit?

Here in Nigeria the concept of mining bitcoin physically is mostly frowned upon because the populace has not been sensitized, most individuals and organizations mostly prefer to Mine Bitcoin ‘in the cloud’ as this method does not involve any sort of overhead costs required to generate profit except the initial capital expended to purchase a cloud mining contract.

But it is of note that for an individual to Mine Bitcoin physically and in the cloud require a very different approach for each. While mining bitcoin in the cloud is very viable and profitable it is of note to know that mining bitcoin physically is far more profitable in every ramification.


Everybody can Mine Bitcoin regardless of age or gender, the only factor to consider will be location because it has an effect on the daily power supply you will receive, the internet networks available for use and the climate to regulate the temperature of your mining rig.


All that one needs to do to Mine Bitcoin is to switch your machine and router on or off as the case may be.

THE BIGGEST MINING OPERATIONS IN THE WORLD

Russia

America

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELA91d_mx80

During the 2 years of my mining operation at home I have encountered two issues which caused my mining rig to breakdown thereby hampering my mining operation for weeks at a stretch. It stopped my machine from mining for such an amount of time because I had to order replacement parts and the delivery time was something I had no power over. Both setbacks on my rig were caused purely by HUMAN ERROR on my part and not the manufacturer. My rig was under warranty for the first fix while the second was out of warranty.


The two fixes I made was:

When my intake Fan spoilt (what caused this issue was the fact that NEPA was supplying low current to our area and I tried to use a stabilizer to regulate the power)

what I learnt: NEVER RUN YOUR MINING RIG WITH A STABILIZER


The second was when one of my Hashing Boards got fried (this happened when I was not home and a family member decided to switch on the rig without any form of external cooling)

what I learnt: NEVER RUN YOUR MINING RIG WITHOUT PROPER COOLING AND VENTILATION

all in all I spent a relatively little amount for the replacement parts and once the parts arrived I changed the affected parts entirely by myself with the aid of a simple philips screwdriver in under 20minutes


For maintenance you should regularly use a philips screwdriver, a mini vacuum cleaner/hair blower and some electronic friendly solvent to wipe the components of the mining rig. You will have to take the rig apart for this and thankfully it is not a difficult task to accomplish

So after you’ve gotten all these things set up the next step is to figure out how you will power your mining rig

A PHYSICAL BITCOIN MINING OPERATION IS VERY POWER INTENSIVE. WITHOUT PROPER AND STABLE ELECTRICITY YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MINE PROFITABLY ANYWHERE

These days people have turned to alternative power supply sources like solar powered inverters e.t.c to provide electricity in their homes. A regular bitcoin mining rig can consume electricity that’s equivalent to a 2hp Airconditioning system or a regular deep freezer. Some more powerful mining rigs can consume as much power as a pressing iron.

After purchasing your equipment and before you Mine you will have to take the following factors into consideration

Internet connectivity

Ventilation and cooling

Power supply


These three factors must be considered and provided for before you can think of engaging your rig in a mining operation


As for Internet connectivity, a regular data subscription of 1gig can give your miner the gateway to connect to its mining pool of choice for up to a month. It gets shorter if you decide to share your router’s Internet with your phones, games or computers in the house. I make use of Glo’s monthly data bundle for my mining operation per month and it’s always adequate for me


As for ventilation, please be warned that a mining rig can become very hot VERY FAST, and as we are in a country with a hostile climate as Nigeria you will need to give your rig its proper cooling during its mining operations. I myself make use of a a little table fan which I setup next to my mining rig to direct fresh air directly into its intake exhaust system to make sure it gets enough air all through its mining operation. It is also recommended to place your rigs in a room that has proper air conditioning. Failure to provide enough cooling for your rig will result to it’s hashing board getting mild to major damages which can either render your miner useless or reduce its mining/processing speed depending on how many hashing boards were affected.


As for power I mostly mine with NEPA, and seldom make use of alternative power as I am not really into ministry on a very large scale ‘yet’ and still I make relatively good profit for my decision.

I also mentioned that you will need a phone or computer too. Well these are not really necessary for the mining operation per day but just needed for the initial setup and configuration process of the mining rig and also to check on the rig’s various operating status as it works for you. A miner can be up and running for hours, days or weeks at a stretch so various data can be displayed on the rigs dashboard like its mining speed, what pool it is currently mining on, the operating temperature, it’s exhaust and fan speeds, it’s hashrate, it’s hashing board states e.t.c

Viewing this machines dashboard is important as it tends to let the user be aware of whatever is going on in the internals of the mining rig. If there is a problem with it’s mini operation it will alert you with either its inbuilt sound alarm (beeps) or it will show you its errors on its dashboard

Once you’ve set up your mining rig and configured your mining pools and wallet details as well as it’s other relevant operating stats, you can take away your phone or computer and the miner will work accordingly to your setup without needing any other form of human input except using your finger to push a switch on/off

After you’ve been able to get your machine and your router you will need to go on the internet to get a bitcoin account/wallet. There are many websites which offer this service like Blockchain, Paxful, Coinbase, BitGo e.t.c

After registration for a bitcoin wallet you will need to find a way to make your machine ‘seen’ in the bitcoin network. Remember that you only purchased a hardware (miner) and blockchain itself wouldn’t recognize you or your machine unless your mining rig is ‘employed’ to work on the bitcoin network.

In order to do this, you will need to register your machine on a platform called a ‘MINING POOL’ , these mining pools have just one function and that is to pool mining hardware rescorces together from fellow bitcoin miners all over the world for the single purpose of breaking the ‘blocks’ of bitcoin transactions on the blockchain. Examples of these mining pools are F2Pool, Antpool, Slushpool, Kano e.t.c

A machine can be programmed to Mine alternately on as much as 3 different pools

After you’ve purchased your Miner the next item on your list would be a means for the machine to be connected to the internet where all the bitcoin transactions take place.

These machines all use the same protocol to get connected to the blockchain where transactions are processed. In order to get your machine online you will need to purchase a competent ‘ROUTER’

In my setup I made use of a rather budget and versatile means of connecting my machine. I purchased a router from a store and a regular USB modem where my SIM card resides. Once I switch on my router, it connects to my USB modem and dials the internet to get online. Once the router is online it then shares its connectivity to other systems both wired and wirelessly. While using my router to connect just my mining rig to the internet I spend a maximum of N1,000 (one thousand naira) per month on subscription as the mining operation isn’t data intensive.

REMEMBER THAT THE BITCOIN MINING RIG/MACHINE ONLY CONNECTS TO THE INTERNET VIA A WIRED CONNECTION

So first and foremost, before you can start to Mine Bitcoins you will need the recommended hardware for the job. There are a range of specialized machines called ‘ASIC’ computers which was designed and manufactured specifically for bitcoin and altcoin mining.

While your regular laptops and desktops can come with configurations like 2.4ghz Core I7, 4GIG Ram, etc these ASIC computers rely mostly on processing power over ram or storage capacity.

For this tutorial I will be making reference to a nice bitcoin mining machine produced by BITMAIN a company in China, this machine is called an ANTMINER and there are various versions of these Miners.

I currently run an Antminer S7 which has a computing/processing speed of 4.7thz. This machine comes with its power supply unit (PSU)

Oh God !

Me that just placed order for galaxy s8 yesterday, now they have announced s9

why did they born me into this generation self?

Had I known I would’ve tripped with style and allowed that other useless ‘sperm’ to overtake me in that marathon race in the Fallopian tube decades ago

swagifted:
the fact is that the electric car movement has begun..tru out December, with fuel scarcity here and there i had abundance of electricity ...why will i queue up when i have all this light?

Well, unless it’s only during Christmas time you expect to be driving the car then no problem

remember

this is nigeria

stagger:
HMM!

Some mining rigs consume more power than the whole of Lagos state. How do you intend to do this stuff in a country that generates only 5,000MW and cannot even transmit most of it efficiently?

It all depends on the particular rig you intend using. Rigs all have configurations and power consumption, you need to know the kind you can successfully handle with minimum maintenance and overhead expenses
