Ethereum mining rigs setup on Linux for the layman

That is AMAZING! I always learn something new about solar from you!! Fossil fuel propaganda was too good. Now we just need the solar technology to be more affordable 😛

To green energy rigs!

Sweet, i am glad i can help add the other side who actually has done it. Yes, imagine mining where you can negate the electricity cost? Solar panels have 25 year warrantees so meant to last. I have had my personal system almost 5 and a half years (the monitoring system is my weblink) and with my electric car, i have no need for carbon fuels. Cryptos and free energy for life, power to the people!

So you are literally printing money from your rigs without the cost of paper ✨

Yeah, my only issue is my Nissan Leaf only has a 105 mile range per charge so whenever i want to leave the city, i need to rent or borrow, but honestly, not a huge issue at all.

By the way, the cost of solar is going to be cheaper then coal this year. Another piece of propaganda from the pro-carbon folks. I worked in the industry from 2008-2013 and the priced dropped dramatically.
I personally paid $12,000 for my system, but got a 20 year financing at my local credit union and my monthly payment is $87. It eliminated a $50-60 a month electric bill and they PAY ME $40-$50 on a average per month for the credits i make. I have refrigerated air on my two story house so i'm no hermit :D

$50-60 a month electric bill is before you start mining right? 🤑 so... by getting the system with financing, you actually get paid for having solar?!?!

Yup, i get a 1099 form from the electric company because they pay me more then $600 a year so i report that as INCOME from the electric company :oD

Are you ready to retire on solar yet? (just kidding)

:) i hope so but hopefully after helping my family and friends do well to.

Sorry, i should clarify within a decade will be cheaper but if the subsidies were eliminated for ALL energy in the US, solar is cheaper now.
