crypto mining
i used to make more- now it doesn't make much relative to power costs. ROI on hardware isn't there atm. still do it as I have the older hardware, want to support certain projects, and I am speculative mining where I can. stuff is cheap again. CPU mining (especially) and certain GPUs are still profitable.

made me a lot prior to Eth going to proof of stake - probably around ~$20k over the years at current prices. didn't spend that much on hardware and power. learned a lot in the process. bought mostly used/broken GPUs. taught myself to fix a lot of it. ended up converting a lot of rigs into various servers/machines for various things. Now have a giant server rack in my house that I use for stuff like Plex, NAS, virtual machines, stable diffusion/etc. Was afraid to even open my computers years ago. slowly started selling off older gpu's or donating them to friends/family as I started building them desktops out of spare parts. became more of a hobby that funded itself.

I started playing chess online during the pandemic and after hitting about 1400 I started teaching kids chess. I now work for an after school program once a week teaching 3-4th graders chess getting paid 65 an hour. It’s only one hour a week and it’s more like 90 mins but it’s whatever. I enjoy it but it’s really just babysitting.

Strange thing is the background check was practically nonexistent and next thing you know I’m showing up at an elementary school to teach random kids. You’d think there would be more in place to make sure I’m not some psycho but I guess not. I only had one problem kid last year but I didn’t kick him out of the class because his dad was a cocksucker and I could see his home life was rough

most newer CPUs can mine most algorithms well after power. Power is considerably less than GPU mining too, but the hardware costs are higher. Usually only have one CPU socket per motherboard, unless you have access to server grade things. Varies between ($.10-.50/day after power).

GPUs - most NVIDIA 30 series and 40 series cards are again profitable - looking at around $0.80/day at most though. it's entirely dependent on your power cost. it's not nearly as profitable as it was during Eth mining last year though. You will rarely see the ROI unless there is another bull run (eg. 2000+ days to pay off the cost of the GPU after power). If you already have the cards for gaming or what have you, you might as well do it. You won't be destroying the card - especially if you undervolt things. Worst thing you are doing is wearing out the fans which are always replaceable. By the time you wear it out, your GPU will likely be antiquated for gaming regardless. Might as well maximize its usefulness.

Have not looked into harddrive mining and things. I don't like wear and tear on harddrives for mining purposes. Would rather use them for my own cloud storage, and I don't want to risk HDD failures compromising data. Can't fix either.

Is it worth it to build a rig specifically to mine at current prices? No. You won't make a profit or recoup your cost unless you pay nothing for power. Is it worth it to speculatively mine for the future? Maybe - though you'd likely be better simply investing in the crypto you want to support. Mining can get you a head-start on some though. Is it worth it to simply learn and build? In my view, yes. High likelihood to profit later on. Can always sell the cards or find uses for the hardware later, though I've accrued a lot of shit I don't need. Makes for good presents to family members (nieces/nephews) to get them involved with computer stuff. It's experience I wish I had more growing up. I never had the parts/money though.
