do people really pay for washing their car?
I just drive a bit through the rain and its free.

2 months ago, i tell two friends about bitcoin and eth.

1 week ago, they hatch a plan together (without me) to use 15,000 (one of them inherited) to get into eth mining

yesterday, they ordered TEN XFX rx570 4gb and FIVE gtx1060 for a grand total of 3000$. They still need to order all of the mobo, cpu, psu, and cases.

Now, me and some other friends are making bets on if they will be successful. The numbers say they will make money as long as they can make running rigs, but what are the odds that they will fail to even make the three rigs run (these guys just plan to figure out the BIOS and such as they go) or that the eth mining game will become unprofitable for some reason in the next 100 days?

honestly, i kinda wanna watch this plan burn
