Hi, I wondered if anyone had bought an ETCMC Node and their thoughts on it?
Is it Crypto only for purchase, I usually prefer Paypal / credit card etc 
Cheers
I would like to bump this please

I got 2 digital download versions as I run Hyper-V servers in data centres and they can sit on there happily without any problems. So far just 2 in 2 locations. Haven’t tried more than one in a single locaion. Port forward isn’t required, although Rabid indicated it’s a good way to make it find peers. I had problems on the first one but rebooting fixed it right up.
It’s only 14 days in so I can’t say too much more just yet.
You have to pay in ETCPOW for the digital download.
You really need Metamask as they require an NFT for memership access and Metamask makes that easy. Seems Hebeswap is about the only place to swap ETC for ETCPOW - but it’s very easy.
Membership is an extra cost, but it gives you higher returns.

I have 28 I have 28 mini pc trigkey units g4s from Amazon at ave price off $149 all together with some I got used of eBay. The ones on Amazon are new with Win 11 and 16gb ram and 512ssd (you have to have an ssd) if you have a 4 core 4 thread CPU with 8gb ram or 256ssd you can run this or on a laptop or mini-pc you have. The lifetime license is $249 in etcpow (etcmc node) so use hebeswap to swap etc classic for etcpow. Don’t buy the pre-built ones from the www.etcmc.org site in they are fine but take 5 weeks. Get the above from Trigkey Store on Amazon in 2 days max in USA. (Black Friday they are $136) for above 16gb 512ssd. Or use your own laptop or mini-pc with specs. They come with Win 11. You buy from Amazon TrigKey STore and arrives in 2 days. The total price is about (or for me anyway) about $400 a mini pc. So currently at today’s price of $1.80 for ETCPOW on www.coingecko.com and making 13.5 ETCPOW per day…that is PER UNIT at today (Thaksgiving) is at the $1.80 price per token of $24.30 per unit. I have 20 of 28 up. With 6 of them built units that took 5 weeks (order #6x) before they had the build your own download option. The 22 above I paid ALL the $249 licenes with JUST the mining of etcpow so far. I plan on cashing out to ETH Classic anb then to BTC on the all the hardware after. To have FULL ROI in licenses and BTC as a base. This will happen at these prices or a bit below 2nd week in December. So do the math 28 x 400 a month x $1.80 if the price held or above (iffy) These are ethernet classic nodes…called ETCMC Nodes to get rewards instead of unpaid nodes. They are not miners as such. In THEORY that is $20,160 a month for my 28 when I get them all up. NOTE: This will ‘not’ hold…but look at the risk? You get a Trigkey G4 mini-pc and the license $400 about. The electric is 10 watts per unit. Comes with Win 11. Not like an ASIC that becomes a brick. On these you can flip this on ebay used sales someday. Can run in background with no resources on an existing 4 core 4 thread laptop with minimum specs above (I type on this as we speak) On the license cashing out daily that is IF you have a compatible machine about a 20 day ROI. I got into this for my usual ROI of 9 months lo-watt toys…and it went full HELIUM mass pump. So to say I’m killing it is an understatement. Vosk needs to DM me and make a video on this. Also they have NFT and staking options (where you don’t give you keys away to stake) So ‘obviously’ no one is selling their ETCPOW. Looks a lot like the Helium Boom/Bust but it is early. Still under 1K of etcmc nodes. At above 1k etcmc nodes the payout drops 20% per day to 10.8 ETCPOW a day per unit. So jump in. Compared ot insane risks I used take on ASICs this is just so easy. After 2nd week in Dec 2023 and full ROI I will have to re-access…check out FB Group ETCMC Node Miners. But again, even if coin drops to like 10c and you ROI on this…eventually…that is still at say 10.80 etcpow a day or $1.80 a day or in my case (full ROI) $50.40 as it reverts back to the say 5 month ROI…which STILL is not bad. The site for licenes is www.etcmc.org. Vosk send me a DM on this…if you need infor. IF you do so folks, buying a Trigkey unit above or using existing unit that makes spec…both will need the $249 license. I’d ROI at first. So you just buy either 1) buying licenses every 10 days with your etcpow mining profits for another unit or ROI or just cash out to ETC Classic to say BTC for the hardware as such on an exchange like Coinbase.No reason if it is a Helium too much equip bubble…so be it. But ROI first is my advice with either more units and mine licenses (buy with etcpow) and/or off shoot the hardware costs to a BTC or a coin of your choice on your exchange. Call it real ROI and re-access when your unit or units do ROI> Off to put up win 11 Trigkey Node #21…you get damn sick of win 11 installs (included in Trigkey units) 
Vosk DM me for a heads up of what I’ve found if you want to do a video on this as such. But I mean really, 10 watts? Also a mini-pc you can use/flip or use your own? Hard part was limiting myslelf to 25 and 3 laptops to look around after real ROI…just to see what is what then. Good luck. Check out the ETCMC DIscord Group or the Facebook ETCMC Node Miners Group. Redirecting...

Hi, I am lloking at trigkey on Amazon.co.uk… There cheapest TRIGKEY machine atm seems to be:-
£209 - Does this seem suitably speced, and I was wondering if there were possibly cheaper machines (Different manufacturer?) that had a similar spec?
Certainly a bit more than your $136 above :'-/
Cheers,
Seems to be a good price. I bought a Beelink on Amazon for <$300 during black Friday. The node is simple enough for a n00b like me to set up
I am glad I found this bit of information. I am super new to crypto in general. I bought some BTC on Coinbase one year ago and it made me realize that I need to be more involved. I started doing some simple mining this weekend using NiceHash just to get my feet wet. I am not at all sure I understand what I am doing and I am going to keep moving forward. I think Vosk did a video on this method because I found a page I had opened to ETCMC node package.
I would love to see another video on how to acquire and implement this system. There does seem to be a bit involved, more than I could perhaps do on my own. Between the initial setup and the conversions I am scratching my head a little bit. Kind of like you, I feel tht the best idea is to set goals for ROI. Mostly becasue of the volatility of Crypto and while I think it is a good idea to be deeply involved I think baby steps is the best way to accomplish that involvement.
Any additional advice you could pass along or even the best way to set this up with a bit more detail would be most helpful. Of course I am a bit late to the game so I understand that this may not have the ROI that you posted. However I feel like this is one of the best methods to get started in Crypto.

Try this:
I just ordered one of these last night will post with updates/results to add to the consensus.
Hii Everyone,
Wanted to know currently how much monthly etcpow is getting mined each day and how much are you guys making in a month minning etcpow

No positive way to put this, which sucks because I still believe in the project. Right now ETCMC project is hurting. ETCPOW is worth $0.033. A Node still makes 8.2 ETCPOW Daily. Roughly $0.27 USD a day $8.10 a month (30 days) at current valuation. I Run 4 nodes currently. ETCPOW has been on a downward trend. This is a long play at best currently. Hopefully something changes for the better, but there isn’t much going on in the ETCMC social Media accounts. If you’re looking to invest, I suggest Bringing your own device, and run their license software that way you can dual mine another crypto with it. 2 Cryptos one stone or something like that. (not financial advice)
Quick Notes most over look:
-ETCPOW claims can be made once 100 ETCPOW has accumulated.
-The claim takes 5-7 Days to claim.
-Every 500 Nodes online reduces the reward rate by 50%.
-If you Purchase the license you get three downloads. 1 is for the node the 2 others are back-ups in case the previous file corrupts somehow. Running more than one node off of one license will get you banned from their project.
I have 3 and they do very little. They used to be great. I’ve been looking to expand the nodes I have for things that don’t cost thousands. I just got a Larissa node. Pretty new and might go to zero, but it moon’s I’d be sad to miss out when they are $350 now. Can’t afford Neoxa or Playa3ull.

Hi, just wondered what I could dual mine with a ETCMC box and software?
You can dual mine with a computer that is running the ETCMC node software. Just make sure it meets the min requirements of both nodes. The latest ETCMC software is much more stable than the earlier versions (they often would crash if there were multiple programs running).
The popular thing to do with ETCMC nodes is dual mine FRY, which runs on the ALGO blockchain. Its a pretty interesting DePin project. Let me know what you intend to dual mine, just because I have few mini PCs kicking around, wouldn’t mind stacking more coins.
