A month ago, I bought a crypto mining machine for $7,500. It mines a coin called Zcash, and right now it's generating about $878 a month in revenue, roughly $728 a month in profit after hosting costs.
The profitability has been great. Before I get into my total earnings and the machine itself, I wanted to talk about LuqEE miner.
A lot of people want to try Bitcoin mining, but they don’t want to buy hardware and they don’t want to do a massive investment in a big mining machine. This is where LuqEE comes in. They give you access to real enterprise-grade mining power you can monitor in real time, no machines, no hosting fees, no electricity bills.
The way they do it is through solo mining, meaning you mine independently and if you solve a block, you keep the full reward. If you are mining Bitcoin, that’s 3.125 BTC worth about $190,000 today or if you mine Bitcoin Cash and hit a block, it would be worth about $700 (but much higher changes). You can also join limited-time Power Mining Events and earn mining boosts along the way. It's one of the EASIEST ways to get into Bitcoin mining without touching a single piece of hardware. Plus you can get started for as little as $2.99 a week.

Now, back to the Zcash miner.
The machine is a Bitmain Z15 Pro. I bought it through Musk Miners, who also handle all the hosting, maintenance, and power at their facility. My only monthly cost is $150 for hosting. Everything else is handled for me.
In my first 21 days of mining, I’ve earned $705 in USDC. About $33 a day, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I'm not holding Zcash at all. I'm using a mining pool called PowerPool, which lets me auto-convert my daily rewards into whatever crypto I want. I chose USDC.
The reason I bought this now is timing. Zcash has been one of the stronger performers in crypto this year, up around 900%. These machines have already been profitable for months, and if we get into a real bull run later this year or into next, they could get a lot more profitable. Last time Zcash pumped hard, these units went way up in value. I want the daily income, the potential upside, and the option to flip the unit if things get really interesting.
One thing worth knowing if you're looking at buying miners elsewhere: a lot of cheap listings online are either scams or don't include hosting. By the time you factor in tariffs, duties, shipping, payment fees, and setup costs, that "cheap" unit often ends up costing as much or more. With Musk Miners, the quoted price is the price. The only ongoing cost is the monthly hosting fee. Plus, they have a pretty great sale going on right now.
There are real risks here too. Zcash could drop significantly. Mining profitability changes constantly. The machines can have issues. This is not something to put money into that you can't afford to lose.
For me, it's one piece of a broader passive income strategy. The profitability right now is real, and I'm happy with where it fits in my portfolio.
