    Run gear when solar pumps, though with profits coming back it might be eventually moving back to full time

    I still have couple gpus but stopped. If it picked up I’d run when solar is going but won’t go full tilt again. Sold a gpu to a mate last year who has yet to pay for it and gave a 3070 to another. Not sure if he wants or not. Can get it back i guess. Got a 3070 in my pc and my second has a 3060 and 2060s in it.

    I got out while my hardware still made a profit to sell them off, kept everything i mined.

    Probably won't get into mining again, while it is fun to tinker around the time sink relearning things and being ahead of the pack is too much.

    Been using dribs and drabs for house upgrades, still have a fair bit there though - work isn't doing any pay reviews for a long while again so it's the only quick way to get stuff done

    Still have a chunk of hardware though, mainly boards/cpus/ram/psus/frames and a couple gpus left, been thinking off and on to chuck some in the DC at work but don't have the motivation right now

    ive been big on the hivemapper hype train, had my cam since feb, got about 20k honey tokens, when the price jumped from 1 cent to 4 cents i sold majority to cover the $800 usd i spent. who knew a week later it would be 40 cents a token... been fluctuating between 30-45 cents a token. last week just in my normal driving to school/work and back and shops etc.. (less than half a tank of fuel which is about $75 worth) i earnt about $180 worth of honey tokens... (425). so ive orderd a second camera for side view. have covered both cam costs and have about $1000 on top sitting there. Just thinking about it i got about $6k worth of eth and btc... had i waited on the honey and not pulled the trigger. i would have had the same if not more in honey than all my eth earnings...
    note i wont be getting any more than the 2 cams as i wont be getting people to map for me etc... like some others are but if your a truck driver or do high km's a week.... the potential...
    would suggest people look up/into the hivemapper project. i could give a referral code to try and get you 10% off or earn $13 per sale from you but i dont care. just look it up and consider it.

    I've heard about this, and I am wondering if its still worth it to invest now in ETH...

    Heck no. Invest in other crypto that actually has a chance of increasing in value.

    Pretty much. A lot of stuff has pumped. I realise this post was two weeks ago. It’s even worse time to invest now.

    Eth price has gone up quite a bit in the last week, and the outflows from the Eth ETFs have reversed. Might actually go positive in the next few days.
