Mining experience feedback last part: power monitoring. I use an Eve C815 connected plug onto which all the three mining PCs are hooked. That allows me to estimate rather precisely the cost of the operation. You can see it's about 942W consumption, which is a sizeable overhead on my electricity bill. Previously I have done all the combinations on each PC: GPU+CPU mining, GPU mining, no mining at all, so that I know how much each would cost. I settled for mining only with GPU as the Veruscoin CPU mining turned out to cost a lot for relatively little crypto gain. I'll just hodl that and see what comes out of it. Hope this is interesting for some of you. I'd also love to hear about your experiences (if at all you do some mining).

Thanks for sharing, I am not really active with mining, sometimes I use the webminer of StakeCube for their own StakeCubeCoin, but not often and much because actually I am not a big fan of using my CPU or GPU - it is a few years old so far - too much. I actually prefer to buy Workers there and get my daily share, for people with not a lot of knowledge or like me that don't want to use cpu/gpu this is actually a really nice way. Takes a while until you have your breakeven-point, but I like it and the partner, who hosts the miners is great as well.
Thanks, I have indeed wondered whether it is more efficient to buy hash power for cloud mining. Don’t have made my kind up yet, but I wanted to have some reference value from my own mining. Now if I can find some Firo webminer I’ll be able to assess how much more it costs.
