Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate and from what?

[djshah]

It’s always interesting to know the (side) hustles people are running that, in their opinion, provides recurring revenue that is either a good source or passive income or their main source of income.

Lately getting excited about crypto mining.

Current project is to complete the rig that generates profits equal to my monthly mortgage payments.

Well on a way. And it's lots of fun - i never assembled computer before :)

To summarise: Currently $10k investment in crypto mining generates about $1k/mo profit. You can proportionally scale it to desired outcome.

I ask this passing no value judgment myself: how do you feel about the ethics of crypto mining?

I'm very unfamiliar with this, but is there additional ongoing costs in terms of extra energy consumption? Do you know if this rig is changing your monthly energy costs?

What kind of depreciation do you get on crypto mining hardware though? Will that setup still be profitable in x months, when better performing hardware exists?

[djshah]

Where are you based that it allows you to generate this profit? These days, it’s pretty hard to get hands on crypto mining hardware as well!

How? That's like $8 a day. Can a 3080 even do that?
