What’s Going on Miners?>Welcome to the Hobbyist Miner Channel
Welcome back to the Hobbyist Miner Channel! We’re starting a new theme here on this channel – road trips together. It seems like these road trips are becoming a staple for us. In this article, we’ll be discussing a recent trip to pick up some GPUs for our growing mining farm, joining forces with another content creator and fellow miner, Red Fox Crypto.
Picking up GPUs – A Hobbyist Miner Road Trip
On this particular Saturday morning, we embarked on a journey from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, traveling for nearly four hours to pick up four graphics cards. This was the largest purchase made in one sitting, and we couldn’t be more excited.
The haul consisted of a Radeon RX 6600 and three GeForce GTX 1070 Tis, all of which would significantly improve the capabilities of the mining farm. We’ll take you along for the ride as we make our purchase and explore a fellow miner’s basement setup.
Meeting with Red Fox Crypto
Upon arrival at our destination, we were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by none other than Red Fox Crypto – a fellow content creator and mining enthusiast. We had never met in person, but we had already established a connection in the mining community.
Red Fox Crypto was gracious enough to sell us the graphics cards and even give us a tour of his crypto mining basement setup. This was an excellent opportunity to see not only another miner’s setup but also to gain insight into his mining strategies.
A Tour of Red Fox Crypto’s Basement Mining Setup
Red Fox Crypto’s basement is filled with GPU boxes – a testament to his dedication and love for mining. However, there is also an ever-growing to-do list of mining hardware yet to be put to good use. Time constraints and content creation have led to an accumulation of un-mined GPUs – NVIDIA RTX 3080s, 3080 Tis, and 3090s, all of which are eagerly waiting to be put to work.
The primary mining area is in a grow tent, with various rigs running different GPUs. The current setup includes NVIDIA RTX 3060s, 3070 Tis, 3060 Tis, 3080s, and AMD Radeon RX 5700s and 6700 XTs. The focus for Red Fox Crypto is on NVIDIA GPUs, although he is also dabbling in some AMD cards.
An additional mining setup is found in his garage, housing his beloved GTX 16 series cards. These include GTX 1660 Tis and 1660 Supers, which Red Fox Crypto praises for their stability and efficiency.
The Challenges and Future of Red Fox Crypto’s Mining Endeavors
With the winter months approaching, Red Fox Crypto is looking to continue expanding his mining operation, utilizing the cooler temperatures to allow more rigs to run openly in his basement. However, as it gets warmer, heat management will become a crucial factor in maintaining efficient mining operations.
The combination of limited space, lack of power infrastructure, and increasing heat generation will eventually lead to a breaking point for Red Fox Crypto. Fully aware of this, he is already considering potential solutions to future challenges, including moving in with the Hobbyist Miner to share resources and space.
Wrapping Up: The Continued Growth of the Mining Community
This road trip not only led to the acquisition of new GPUs but also highlighted the camaraderie and support within the mining community. Teaming up with fellow miners like Red Fox Crypto provides opportunities for sharing ideas, learning new strategies, and bolstering the overall mining ecosystem.
As we continue to grow our mining farms, we look forward to further collaboration and engagement with other miners and content creators. As always, if you enjoyed this article, be sure to like, subscribe, and join our respective Discord channels for even more GPU mining content.
Take care of yourself, take care of each other, and happy mining!
What is the latest Graphic Card you purchased!? New, Used? A Steal? Give us the Downlow!
Love it boys. Keep up the good content! hope to see more combo vids soon!
I too need used cards bro.. Where can I buy
5:45 yea ngl this might sound weird but almost every day I wake up and go to my closet admier all the gpu boxes
This video was so wholesome! I loved watching Redfox close for your channel! Love how the community helps everyone out to grow and get better❤️
Great collaboration, it was fun to watch, thanks for the content and hard work!
As someone who also just got his first graphics card (a 1070 ti), I appreciate seeing more people using them. Makes me feel better about it
hell ya i started mining just before i got my 3070 paid it off now i have 3 1070 a 6600 a 3060ti lhr and my 3070 im hooked
Wow very nice!
The hobbyist miner is from PA? Small world
Take care of yourself and take care of each other.
Treat yourself good…. buy ac infinity cloudline T8 … quiet and sleek…. just a millionaire upgrade…. the bluetooth thermometer is super nice! Cheers!
I start seeing all this videos from everyone around and now i have 8 cards 2 nvidia and 6 6700 xt and now 6 min doge
Co lab for the win!
Question? Once I set my wallet address in hiveos for a coin that i am mining, Do i ever have to change that address? Will it always payout to that address? Currently I have a payout pending in hiveon and i am just verifying that its going to go through.
25 GPUs? Heat is not an issue at all for this amount of GPU.
awsome!
Nice video guys. Totally loving all your work! Allot to learn from you. Keep up the good work!👍👍👍😊
Imagine the DEA busting in because of the wattage used per day:
They see the tents and be like "F YEAH WE FOUND A GRASS GROWER BOYS"
Only to open the tents and find some harmless mining rigs hahaha
I think I see a couple my things on that back shelf. Awesome vid!
This was better than me meeting Mining Chamber…
hope he doesn't see this
Wow, great to see two of my fav youtubers in same video!
Awesome to see two local dudes killin it!
haha cool video
Mike ! I love that guy 😁
cool walk around Hobbyist, keep up the rad work with the videos 🤘Lookin forward to the next one
Wholesome mining video
i just finshed moving all 6 of my rigs into a 4×8 grow tent with 2 8in fans and a 3rd on a t-stat so if one fails. i have enough room to put a few more 8gpu rigs in there.
This would be a lot of fun to see a few other YouTubers setups. Cribs style!!
I can't wait for ETH 2.0 to come about so I can afford GPUs again. People who say the miners will move to other coins are only partially right as I bet 50% (especially in places with higher electrical rates) will toss in the towel.
trenton !!!!!!
LOVE IT 🔥🔥🔥
hahaha, this is awesome !! I really enjoyed this :)))
I like his HOLD t-shirt. where can I get one?
I thumb down because I can not skip ads
Great to see you guys vibing!
