Computer Building Help
| You can't run a mining rig with regular hardware and earn money anymore. The power bill will cost more than the btcs earned.
You can maybe do it by purchasing special hardware made for mining but they're 15.000€ a piece and there are no guarantees. They're called sugarcubes and are made with supercomputer hardware. A friend of mine bought 2 of them and spiraled into a depression after he realised he couldn't make the money back. One of them broke after a month too.
| >>414831 I hear that rasberri pi's have become pretty good at mining (but that's in broad terms) in crypto, you should take a look into their mining capabilities.
| >>414956 ok, listen. no. no. no. raspberry pis have very low powered cpus. you’d be losing money by buying rapsberry pis to mine
| Just make it like Google and Facebook and mine via a botnet. As long it's not your power bill, mining is worth it. You could apply for some jobs and infect Servers in company's and public institutions. If you're lucky you get your hands on a supercomputer cluster. Make sure to hide your processes from process and hardware-monitoring tools. It's not easy. In the end they'll register the increase of power consumption, but this will take a while.

| I wish to construct a computer that would be able to mine BTC and be a super powerful gaming rig as well. What should I do in order to achieve this?
