how profitable is bitcoin mining, say if bitcoin just sits at the same price forever? how long does it take to ROI on a rig, not factoring in the resale value of the rig itself? also do you have to keep your room AC'd if you have like 5+ desktops running 24/7?
not saying im considering it, but i'm considering it. lol

+1 to What IME said
Let's say $2k CAD for a 3080, non lhr, you're looking at $7-$9 a day, let's say $8 average a day - withdrawal fees and electricity $7 a day average (maybe a lil less) so 286 days just for the card, and not your pc (mb psu etc) and who knows what the markets gonna be like especially after ETH leaves
And you're probably gonna end up with an LHR card, so increase your time by like 25% so 1yr to ROI (keeping the gpu estimate at 2K)
Then there's the cost of ur equipment to consider, so, well into a year for it all

I'd watch that. I was probably one of the last ones to get my cash out. It wasn't a significant amount of money, but it would've made me pretty sad 4-5 years ago, lol.

About a week ago a old guy comes into our store to use the bitcoin machine. He was on the phone and I knew he was being scammed. I told him multiple times he was being scammed. He would not listen but i kept at it. He finally left without using it. 30 min later he came again. I told him again he was being scammed and he left Today he came in again and handed me this. 
He thanked me for stopping him from getting scammed.

What’s the story with the Bitcoin machine scam manic? It sounds like it’s happening often. Good on you for helping people out when it does, but has having the machine become more trouble than it’s worth? I don’t really know what the deal is.

Get someone thinking they owe money because of XYZ, have to pay off using bitcoin instead of GCs.

So the atm like bitcoin machine allows you to transfer to someone? Then I suppose it's not traceable as well.

I don’t really know what the deal is. | It's not really trouble since I like talking to people who are into crypto. With the ATM you scan a QR code for a wallet to where you want the crypto to go. I always make sure people have there own wallet or know the person they are sending money to.
Scammers pretend to be the RCMP and want to verify your money or they claim to be thr CRA and want you to pay back taxes. You also have people claiming if you invest with them they will 10x your money.
