This modern mining camp out here in Big Spring, which was set up in 2018, is located just off the runways at the Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport and right next to the Big Spring Correctional Center.

What about those who want to try mining the old school way, using PCs? Well, if there are any old computers lying around and if they are particularly feeling generous then a custom GPU based mining rig is the way to go. It will require some money initially (let’s say a maximum budget of $2000) for starters. They can set up their own mining rig with components that are available on various online shops or a local computer hardware stores. First thing they would have to consider is a good GPU that can generate a decent hash rate. There are few high end GPUs currently available out there in the market which are capable of generating enough hashing power to be recognized by the bitcoin mining pool.
