Ten years of mining.

I worked in IT but stayed away from mining until someone asked me to build a rig from hot-running HD7970s. I got hooked. The BTC I saved later paid off my mortgage and a vacation.

GPUs cost a fortune in 2019, but I still bought an RTX 2060 Super for 70,000 rubles, then a 3070. I mined ETH, Kaspa and Nexa. The 3070 is still with me; now I'm trying home ASICs.

After the army I bought a PC with a GTX 1050 Ti. A friend asked, “Want your computer to work for you?” I installed Kryptex in 2017. Today I have an RTX 4060 — and I'm still here.

I never really believed in mining until I found Kryptex. I put an old PC to work and never stopped. I started with what I had and have been upgrading little by little ever since.

I used crypto mining to pay my rent. That's the whole story 😄

I wasn't trying to get rich — I just wanted my home PC to do something while idle. I tuned temperatures and power costs, and ended up earning both crypto and a new technical skill.

I started with an RTX 2070, then added a 3070. I always wanted an ASIC but worried about noise, so I put an E9 Pro on my balcony and vented the heat outside. Now I have two ASICs.

My first GTX 1060 rig lived in a cramped bedroom, held together by zip ties and optimism. A bad driver killed it at 3 AM. The chaos paid for an upgrade — and a hardware obsession.

My first mining rig was also my first gaming PC. Kryptex helped me save a little crypto, and I mostly spend it on plants. I have almost 50 different kinds now.

In 2021 I bought my first GTX 1660 Super and found Kryptex through search. Then I added more GPUs, built a full rig and later moved to CMP 50 cards. They're still mining today.

Crypto curiosity taught me to build PCs and set up miners. I later opened a hardware store and now work as an automation engineer. Mining opened a career for me.

First came a GTX 1070, then the legendary non-LHR RTX 3060 Ti — thank goodness. Today I'm running two RTX 4070s. Not a bad mining evolution.

A coworker wouldn't stop talking about Bitcoin, so in 2020 I gave in and bought an RTX 3070 for 155,000 rubles. Most of my hardware is gone now, but the coins I mine go to my kids.

Keep going even when the market heads downhill. Sooner or later it turns around and the numbers go green again ;)

I started a few months ago with one RTX 4070. My first ₹610 payout mattered more than the amount: it proved my GPU's work could become real value. That's when I got hooked.

In 2020 I wanted a 3070 rig, but my wife vetoed it. I built a gaming PC in 2024, then had no time to game. In 2026 I mined Pearl, made my first $100 and started planning more GPUs.

I started in 2024 with a laptop and an old ASUS. Mining didn't make me rich, but it taught me hardware, pools and energy. Now I'm trying Bitaxe miners and solar-powered mining.

I just wanted an idle GPU to earn something. Then I started tracking electricity, efficiency and profit per watt. A passive-income experiment turned into a real hobby.

I started mining in 2023 on my first desktop PC. There were difficult nights and plenty of mistakes, but mining taught me crypto, hardware and patience.

In 2018 I even tried mining on a GTX 260 and thought my payouts might go to Satoshi Nakamoto. By 2020 I had an RX 5700 XT; later I bought an overpriced RTX 3080 — and it paid off.

I started with five RX 5700 XTs and grew to 48 GPUs in a year. A storm once soaked every rig; only one motherboard died. I'm 41 now, and I'm still mining.

I've been with the platform for eight years. There were challenges, lessons and plenty of change. Those years aren't just a number — they're a whole chapter of life with Kryptex.

In spring 2017 I mined 23 ETH on six RX 470s, then lost almost all of it after my key was stolen. Four years later the wallet scraps were worth a new GPU.

I started with three CPU-only PCs. Now I have what I call the “ring of fire”: old computers mine nonstop until they finally give up. I've already put four machines through it.

I found Kryptex on a list of trusted mining platforms, tried it, then forgot. But its tray icon kept appearing. Eventually I realized it had been there all along — so I came back.

In 2020 I was a schoolkid with a GTX 1650 Super making about 3,000 rubles. Now I'm a student and, in the Pearl era, trying solo mining for the first time.

Two hours into my first day I saw $0.08 and was already calculating monthly profit. Then I checked the power meter. Day two: electricity costs. Day three: difficulty.

After my old mining service failed, I was left with five PCs and plenty of skepticism. My first Kryptex payout arrived in 30 minutes — and everything changed.

Better late than never. I started exploring GPU and CPU mining in 2025 across different altcoins. In early July I focused on PRL — and I haven't looked back since.

My four-RX 580 rig made about €10 a day — I remember it like yesterday. After ETH mining ended, we spent three years looking for the next great coin. I hope PRL is the next ETH.

Kryptex gave me a way to keep improving at work while freeing up more time and energy for my family.

I started mining on GTX 1060s and a few older cards I can't even remember anymore — it was that long ago. I'm 54 now and still on the journey. Let's see how far it goes.

I started with an AMD FX-4300. Now I run two X99 systems with Xeon 2680 v4s for XMR, an RX 580, RX 5500 and several tiny ASICs. Another Bitaxe is already on the way.

I didn't mine for long. The algorithm changed while I was away, I didn't update the software in time, and I never got back to it. I still regret that a little.

I got into mining after being scammed. I started on my home PC, then added an RTX 3070, CMP 90 and GTX 1080. Just before the halving I bought a Whatsminer M21S — and paid it off.

I'm the developer of PeakMiner. Kryptex was one of the first pools to list a week-old unknown miner because it was good. That early trust helped us pass a petahash in week one.

I started around 2014 with milk crates and wooden strips holding GPUs, then moved into ASICs. I've lived through bull and bear markets but never forgot those garage days.

I joined Kryptex in summer 2022, right before The Merge. While many miners sold their GPUs, I stayed. New PoW coins followed, and now my rigs are busy with Pearl.

In 2020 I started with a Xeon, GTX 1650 Super and RX 550, then spent everything on four GTX 1660 Supers. That winter the rigs almost replaced the stove at my dacha.

I started mining in February 2026 and wasn't sure it would be profitable. Then Pearl arrived, and I finally saw the kind of return I had hoped for. I've kept mining ever since.

My first try was an i5 and GT 750 after a YouTube video. Then came RX 580, RX 5700 XT and RTX 3080. One morning my $500 in BTC had nearly become $1,000 overnight — I was thrilled.

In 2020 everyone around me kept talking about Bitcoin going up again. I decided to stop listening and try it myself. I started mining — and little by little, it began to work.

Since January I've been mining on my Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3060 gaming PC while I'm at school or AFK. I like that hardware sitting idle can still earn something on its own.

I first heard about crypto in fourth grade. In 2021 I found Kryptex, worked building PCs and bought a 1080 Ti. Then came RX cards, P104s, CMPs, CPU mining and an ASIC humming.

My first night on HiveOS was awful: I kept checking whether everything was running and nothing had gone wrong. Now I remember it as the fun kind of stress.

I found Kryptex on YouTube in 2018 before I understood crypto. That curiosity pushed me to learn computers, mining, wallets and blockchain.

At 40 I bought a Lenovo Legion with an RTX 2060 and got hooked. A month later I had five RTX 3060 laptops mining. Then I started YouTube and helped miners across the CIS.

After lockdown I saw a mining video and tried it on my PUBG PC. The first coin died and didn't even cover power. I kept going anyway — now I run two rigs and mine several coins.

I built my first GTX 1060 rig in 2017 and put it to work with Kryptex. The hardware has changed many times since, but mining and Kryptex stayed with me. Nine years later, I'm here.

I started with one GPU in 2020, then added an RTX 2060 Super and a used RX 470. By 2021 profitability was wild. I spent my very first mining earnings on McDonald's.

I mostly mine Bitcoin and sometimes Monero. I like how easy Kryptex makes it to switch between coins, and withdrawals are straightforward.

I bought a GTX 1060 for my dorm PC at 17, when ETH was $300. By January 2018 ETH was above $1,300 — the “dorm rig” paid for my whole semester. My family still doesn't believe it.

I wanted a simple way to try mining on a home PC. With Kryptex it was basically one click. Hardware and markets changed over the years, but the habit of starting a miner stayed.

A friend asked me to check if a miner worked. That was how it started. Now I’m learning the ropes and looking to buy a few machines of my own.

Mining on my RTX 4060 gives me a little income I can actually save. I’m building that pot now and want to put it into other assets later.

After college I bought four Antminer U3 USB miners, then sold them when local rules tightened. AI GPUs brought me back in 2025; Kryptex auto-switching was exactly what I wanted.

My first rig was just my computer. NiceHash wouldn’t let me in because I’m under 18, so I found Kryptex and could finally make a little money with my PC.

I bought a car with money from mining 😈

I bought a brand-new RTX 5060 out of curiosity. My first $60 came from PRLHASH, and part of the mining income went straight back into upgrading the PC.

A friend told me to sell my 750 Ti, buy a 3060 and mine. One-month payback started a gold rush: vacation money went on three more cards. Little profit, plenty of stories.

I couldn’t even set up my first GPU and the power went out a few times 😂 I’m still a beginner and haven’t cashed out yet, but I like crypto and I’m learning.

Started in 2017 with an old R9 280X. Then came 1070s, RX 580s, 3070s and 6800s. I still mine on CPUs, GPUs and ASICs, but the ETH years were something else.

I started mining XMR in 2021 with one GTX 1660 Super. The first payout made me take it seriously. I learned hardware, wallets and patience, and never fully quit.

My mining login is my son’s email, and he helps me withdraw BTC. Mining paid for a ten-night seaside holiday in Turkey for my wife and me.

ETH did well for me, so I moved on to a BTC farm. I also work in tech support and recommend Kryptex to my clients. They’re happy with it too.

Back in 2015, ETH arrived, then GPUs vanished from stores and even risers became scarce. It felt like a gold rush; at one point a GPU could pay for itself in a month.

I spent six years on another platform, fighting unstable rigs. When it blocked my country I moved to Kryptex — same hardware, suddenly stable. My first rig had seven GTX 1070s.

I started XMR CPU mining on a Ryzen 7 7730U laptop, mostly to see if it could earn anything. Balancing hashrate, heat and power showed me how hard small gains can be.

No epic story — I just love mining. After electricity, Kryptex still covers random little expenses: stationery, small things I want, that kind of stuff.

I found Bitcoin by accident in 2011 while searching for a Forex top-up method. Home PCs led to a Gridseed “hedgehog”, then S7/S9. Today: Monero, Bitaxe and Z15.

I switch Kryptex on whenever my basic 12 GB laptop is free. It makes only 40–60 rupees a month, but free passive income is still free passive income.

For fun I put ~30 old office PCs on XMR, then bought a screaming ASIC from some Chechens. My first mining payout hit my Mastercard — then went straight to Thailand.

Direct mining confused me, so Kryptex auto mode saved the day. Power surges later fried my PC; I came back with an Alienware RTX 3070. Still chasing my first whole BTC.

I started with my PC, got hooked, then bought an S9 and two Z9 Minis. I’m still very new to mining, but the hardware collection is already growing.

My RTX 4090 is a work tool and bedroom radiator. Summer mining meant sauna heat, roaring fans and a brutal power bill — but also a PoW community I value.

A friend gave me my first miner and it was off to the races. I’ve stayed through the rise and fall; now I have three mining PCs and eleven miners chasing whatever works.

I started this year on a Ryzen 3 3200G. My first withdrawal was so painless I kept adding hardware: three RTX 4050 laptops, an 8700G and a 5500 + RTX 3050.

RX 590, MSI BTC motherboard. I liked the idea of making money with computers. The only part I really hate is how hot it gets.

It pays my rent and buys groceries for my kids. I love it.

My first 3,000-ruble miner was a useless 10 GH/s scam. Next came an L3 in a homemade box in the stairwell. By May 2021 my GPU rig was making up to 4,000 rubles a day.

I discovered mining from a hospital bed in 2017 and started with one GTX 1060. Six years and 19 GPUs later, Kryptex had helped pay off my 3-room mortgage and start a dacha.

I joined Kryptex in 2019 with a GTX 750 Ti, when QIWI could send payouts straight to a phone or card. I’m still mining with Kryptex today.

I started in 2021 with one GTX 1060 and ETH. Kryptex won me over with easy setup, a clear interface and payouts to a bank card. I’ve stayed ever since.

My first rig had three RX 580s. Worst night: the B250 Mining Expert burned out. Best payouts: the golden days of ETH.

My first cards were a GTX 1070 Windforce and a GTX 1080 Ti. They made me about $200 in the first month.

Mining has always been a great experience. Since PRL arrived it’s been more profitable too. Kryptex is still my favorite pool, and the app is very easy to use.

My first rig was a laptop that made $0.01 in three days. Naturally, that inspired me to spend thousands on GPUs so I could make about $20 a day. Still growing.

I’m not really a miner, more of a hobbyist. I ignored Bitcoin for years, got serious around $3,500, once bought a car with BTC, and mostly use crypto to save and invest.

Mining gave me enough money for my child’s formula. That’s the whole story.

My dorm AC was broken and an electric pan couldn’t warm the room, so I mined under a blanket on my gaming laptop. Cold world, but Kryptex kept me warm and loved.

I bought a 3060 Ti for $1,000 and mined my way to a 4070 Ti Super. The old card stopped paying and got sold. Now I’m saving for the next xx80 Ti.

I came to Kryptex because I wanted to mine on a PC without being an expert. I stayed through new GPUs and algorithms, learning hardware and crypto as Kryptex evolved.

Just a new kid on the block here, but Kryptex helps me a lot. Thanks for the meal on my plate.

I mined random coins on my laptop just to heat my dorm room because I couldn’t afford a small heater. Funny enough, I used my first payout to buy one on Amazon.

I started in 2018 on a GTX 1060 gaming PC. Years of upgrades turned it into a real rig. The fun changed too: from first coins to squeezing the most from every watt.

One winter I heated the house with my mining GPUs instead of turning up the thermostat. The payouts covered the power bill — and gave me more time with my son.
