"Hey guys, just wanna share my experience building a budget PC for crypto mining with a budget of $500. I know some people might say it's crazy to even attempt it, but I managed to cobble together a rig with an AMD Ryzen 3, 4GB of RAM, and an RX 5600 XT. I'm running it on the Ethash algo and so far I'm getting a decent ROI - interested to hear your thoughts, is it a gamble or a genius move?"
