Mine Crypto Before It's Too Late! - NiceHash QuickMiner Showcase

[@LinusTechTips]

Thanks for your comments. There's no denying the environmental impact of mining and the product shortages is contributes to, but this video does NOT advocate for the kind of large scale commercial mining that does the majority of the harm. Nicehash is for folks who already have a gaming PC that they want to use to recoup some cost and don't really want to learn the ins and outs of setting it up. This video is already out there. We aren't going to paper over it, but with that in mind, I read you loud and clear and we will think carefully about our partnerships in the mining space moving forward. Linus

Honestly Linus, this has to be one of the sketchiest outfits you've ever promoted. Seriously, the founder of NiceHash served jail time for creating the Mariposa botnet, which specifically went after users passwords, bank credentials and credit card info and was indicted again in 2019 along with another Slovenian (NiceHash is a Slovenian company). I'd love to see a complete list of their past and present employees. All a code signing certificate tells you is that the code was created by a particular company. It in no way certifies that the code isn't doing janky shit like stealing your bank account details. But sure, go ahead and run it on you gaming PC and earn $60 a month and then find out that your bank account has been emptied and you have to flatten your main PC and change the password for every account you own. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

[@iQKyyR3K]

this is one of the most reasonable complaints i've seen. If the owner is sketchy and the mining operation scammed people previously that's a VERY good point to bring up, contrary to most others whining about "Miners bad" "Crypto bad" and "Me no get shiny new toy."

If you're literally losing $5 a day your energy costs would need to be nearly .70c per KWH (and thats assuming you make absolutely zero money from mining which obviously wouldn't be the case) assuming you were using a gpu that consumes 300w (most use less when mining). Either you calculated wrong (make sure u put in ur energy rate with the decimal in the correct place) or it means you likely pay several thousands in energy bills every month as a typical homeowner.

What Linus forgot/didnt know/didnt want to say was nice hash paid back the same amount of btc at the value of 3k per coin (cause thats what it was when nicehash paid out), when at the time the hack happened it was at 9K. So people did lose money.

[@iFaFo_0]

True.. but then again what kind of a noob keeps what they mined on nicehash? why wouldn't you pull it out on your own private wallet? nicehash is ass anyway but just saying. Also You didnt lose if you didnt sell

[@AshishKotnala29]

by that logic, if people held that btc till date they are F'in rich now.

[@bfc_george8846]

yes and no, they only lost money if they sold under 9k. Receiving the same amount of BTC at a different price does not automatically mean you lose money, you have to sell at a lower price to actually lose money (realize the loss). If you hodl and sell at a higher price you win money, yay! ;)

[@aviroblox6624]

It's preferable that they paid them in Bitcoin, not USD. What NiceHash originally lost was bitcoin, and they don't have control over the price. If they held their bitcoin till now they made a profit from 9K per bitcoin to 61K per bitcoin, if they sold low then that's unfortunate.

How, he’s showing how normal people can get in on the crypto craze.

[@nadiayorc]

..he's encouraging people that already have a gaming setup to use it to mine while idle. You don't need some insane setup to get a profit. My single RTX 2080 has made me £30 worth of bitcoin (0.00070583 BTC) in 2 weeks which far outweighs the power cost.

There is a big difference between miners with server farms and miners with a gaming PC that they mostly use for games, but mine when they don't.

If you mine and don't use the coins for products simply sell them back it will lower the value.

FREE MONEY COST: Electricity, HW wear out, risk of privacy, trust malware creator for their software. NOTE: Signed software is to bypass the security protection in case you trust them but it does not always mean it safe.

[@Gurule]

Electricity is cheap. Go solar if not. Mining can/will most likely pay for the cards multiple times before they wear out. take precautions for privacy if that is a huge concern like only mine on an old pc with a new gpu in it. (one of my mining rigs has parts from 2006)

The only way a small miner is making money is if they are living on campus and gets their electricity free, and already has the hardware for gaming. And even then, they won't make enough to be worth the time.
