It's a definate journy. Also to note that whilst i was going to put the GPU rig in my server room at home, it's quite nice with this cold spell in my living room and with the TV on you can't hear it
It is pretty neat to think you're earning while heating the house. At worst you'll cover the electricity costs, effectively paying nothing for your heating; at best you'll make a good profit, paid in cryptocurrencies that may appreciate further in value. I've almost got enough miners running to keep the entire house fairly warm right now, but I think I'll need a few more for the colder months.

You're right though about simply investing in cryptocurrencies. It can certainly be the simpler route. Personally I do both and I re-invest (or 'hold') anything I earn from mining.
