I am new to bitcoin and mining and I have a lot of questions. I believe decentralized currency is the path to our future and I would like to assist in its growth as much as I can. So here we go.
Is “futurebit” a reputable site to purchase mining equipment?
Most likely, but it really depends on your electric rate. For it to be profitable by 1 cent a day, you would need a 4 cent and that’s on low power mode.
long term it wont make you money. that being said if you believe in crypto future, running a node is an awesome way to support the cause. at worst you will make pennies a day if the market goes back. but either way its a relatively cheap and helpful way to support bitcoin.
some quick resources. but please double check everything. there are always scammers in the space.

My electric rate is .13 kw/h.
I am using online calculators and with a electricity cost this high it seems to be not that profitable. Im looking into figuring out ways to reduce that cost
