Mining Build
🕑 Added 2018-01-20 22:46:35 +0000 UTC Hey guys, hope you're all doing well. I've recently been playing with the idea of building a mining rig as an experiment. Nothing too serious, more just to learn about it. Is this something you think I should do and would you like a behind the series about making the rig and following it's progress? Let me know in the poll below.Comments

Just throwing my 2 cents in - personally I think the "lets build a mining rig" videos have been done to death now, even by the main popular tech channels. If you're interested in it, sure, have a go, but frankly if you're not looking to make money then why bother with anything more than a single GPU in any machine you've got handy to leave on 24/7? Although, given the plethora of videos and articles on this subject already, what would you actually learn from doing it yourself? I for one would like to see you tackle the actual inner workings of cryptocurrencies, or better yet the Ethereum ecosystem. I know a great amount of technical detail on Bitcoin and Ethereum so it likely wouldn't benefit me, but it would be good to get some education out there for the masses as to what these things are trying to achieve and how they're going about doing it. This would be a very unusual series of videos for the channel though, and the raw anti-mining hate crew might just shit all over it and hurt the channel ultimately. Hard to call, but if you went into a level of detail about the tech which the other big tech channels haven't done yet AFAIK that could bring a new audience your way.
It would be cool if you could make a ton of money from that wall of graphic cards you have ;) I'm always up for more builds and crypto mining is an interesting topic.
