Hey fellow miners! I'm kicking off this thread to share my journey in discovering some hidden gems for crypto-mining on a budget. After months of trial and error, I've managed to cobble together a setup that's yielding decent profits without breaking the bank. What are some of your favorite budget-friendly mining options?

Ya got to consider the electricity costs, too. I was testing out my old GPU rig and it's more efficient to mine with a cheap ASIC miner for low-profit coins like Vertcoin. Anyone else have any cheap mining rigs they can share?

Hey, just a heads up for those new to crypto-mining - be prepared for some serious power consumption and heat issues unless you're running a high-end rig. I'm still testing out this new ASRock H470 mining board, anyone have experience with it? It seems to be a solid option for a budget build.

Dude, I've been experimenting with GPU mining and got some decent results with an older Nvidia GTX 1060 on a mid-range Ryzen 5 build. Don't know if it's viable for the long run, but it's a good starting point. Anyone else tried mining on a budget?

Yo, just wanna say I've had some success with the AntMiner S19 Pro. It's a beast and can mine a decent amount of ETH on its own, but be aware that the power consumption is pretty high. Still, for the price, it's a solid option for a budget miner IMO.

I've been testing out a few mining rigs on a shoestring budget and just got my hands on a refurbished Antminer S9 for under 200 bucks, so far it's been a solid performer with the current difficulty levels. Has anyone else tried this or similar models and got some tips to share?

I'm running a small operation with a mix of GPU and ASIC miners, had to get creative with my setup to make it cost-effective, anyone have any experience with used or refurbished equipment for a budget build?
