Hey Veeky Forums, dirty nocoiner here. I'm new to all of this, but my dad just dropped $6000 on computers and shit to mine Monero. Is this guy retarded, or next level genius? From what I've seen, wouldn't it make more sense to just buy $6000 worth of Monero? Does anyone here mine, and if so have you had any success?

Unless he got vegas it's not worth it especially if you live somewhere like California where power is $0.175 / khw

They live pretty far away so I have no idea. From what my brother tells me it's pretty good shit, and my dad's a big tech guy so I don't doubt it

Apparently it's 4 gtx 1060 GPUs with a new i7 cpu. Also we're in Canada and my dads a hippie so come July there will definitely be grow lights and hydroponic supplies

It's not 2012 anymore grandpa, nVidia is better than AMD for most coins nowadays.

You should make the pot market up there be all monero all the time.
Then the mining will really pay off.

Its better to invest that money, Monero is difficult to mine, you only get a tiny fraction of a coin, and new gpus are coming out in a few months, 1060 aren't really that good , the i7 return on investment is 300+ days, best to just buy $6,000 worth on Monero right now and let appreciate in value over the next year
