I have been mining for a very long time. Most of you would know me as Nhan Do from my old Nick that was Hacked, hence why I'm using this new Nick. I have been thru the many ups and downs of Crypto as well as hundreds of designs and layouts. What I learned from my experience / ]mistakes, is that it's always best to keep things SIMPLE, EFFICIENT and use Quality components and only buy / support reputable vendors / brands. I want to have this thread so that many other readers can hopefully learn from my many mistakes and have a better start / experience then I did when I started.
