You can mine all mineable coins listed in www.coinmarketcap.com provided you have the corresponding “miner name” in SimpleminingOS for the coin(s). Email Carl for more details.

Perform basic maintenance (watch Part 10) at least every month of continuous operation.

If you are using an AMD RX580 GPU cards as shown in the video tutorial, the total power consumption of one card is about 1750 watts. For example, in Nevada the cost of electricity is 11.5 cents per kilowatt. If the rig is running 24/7 then the cost of electricity is 1.75 kilowatt x 24 hours x 30 days x .115 cents per kilowatt is about $145.00 per month.

There are many riser versions out there that will work. However try to use the latest version like version 9C or later.

It is enforced through a unique fusion of software, cryptography and financial incentives rather than the notion of trusted third parties. A cryptographically secured, verifiable database called the Blockchain powers the Bitcoin network. — The Blockchain itself is a technological phenomenon.

Bitcoin was invented by a pseudonymous individual or group named Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and is the world’s first durable cryptocurrency that succeeded where decades of digital cash experiments failed.

The answer depends on a few factors including the price you paid for the entire rig, the total hash rate of all the GPU cards and the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour. If you are using an AMD RX580 GPU cards as shown in the video tutorial, the total power consumption is about 1750 watts. For example, in Nevada the cost of electricity is 11.5 cents per kilowatt. If the rig is running 24/7 then the cost of electricity is 1.75 kilowatt x 24 hours x 30 days x .115 cents per kilowatt is about $145.00 per month. The rig shown on our video tutorial can produce about 1.65 Ethereum (ETH) coins per month or about 0.054 Bitcoin (BTC) per month. This is worth about $2,750 of ETH and BTC. These figures are as of March 7, 2021. If the cost of electricity is $145.00 then you can calculate your estimated return on investment. That is $2,750 minus $145.00 is $2,605.00 or about 94.72%. Remeber you also need to consider the payback period for your rig. For example, if the total cost of the rig is $6500, then it would take about 2.50 months of non-stop mining to pay off the rig.

Assuming you already have a completely assembled mining rack similar to the one shown in our video tutorials, it should take about 1.5 to 2.0 hours including setting up the simplemining OS mining software and Ethermine.org mining pool account.

You only need basic tools like a philips screw driver, a long-nose plier, and a small adjustable wrench.

Yes you can. There are other GPU brand names out there including MSI and Zotac. But make sure you choose the RX580 with at least 8GB of video RAM. Anything less than this size of video RAM will cause your mining performance to go down. At the time of this writing the Ethereum DAG files requires a video RAM that is greater than 3GB. Otherwise it will not work and you will get DAG file size error when you boot the rig.
