We will take a look at Bitcoin mining via ASICs (beware the equipment scams) and GPUs as well as Ethereum as an example of mining other Cryptos. Chia plotting and farming is considered the 'green' alternative. It involves utilising hard drive space and is less power hungry. Although this can all be a bit technical, the material will be kept simple with road maps for each path: buy the equipment, set it up, run it and make money - possibly. We will also consider the benefits of solar electricity. This session is very much beginner level and should be seen as a starting point only.
