what's with this bs misconception about mining not being profitable anymore it depends on the circumstances, but if you have a decent electricity rate, good deals for hardware and a suitable tax bracket it can be very profitable of course there's a huge risk involved with price fluctuations and whatnot, but when mining you'll always get to keep (and resell) the hardware should it become unfeasible to continue i've been mining for a couple months with 2 gtx 1070s and i've made a few hundred bucks, not that good but not too bad either
