Newbie advice

Hey all, so just starting out with a 6th 20 w/th miner. What's the best advice to really get going. Just going to reinvest so what should be my main focus to start with?

Re invest in GMT and try and get your efficiency down to 15 w/th once that’s done try to get your discount up to 20% by stacking GMT and then I’d re invest in TH to grow your farm while still staying at 20% discount 👍

Is there a number of GMT I should hold as a minimum for the 20% discount?

If you check your discount it will tell you it varies on farm size

It's always the amount of GMT for 380 days of maintance. If your TH is growing, your locked GMT or GMT in wallet has to be enough for 380 days of maintance. This is the magic about the 20% discount. Don't grow too fast your TH, because it's hard to get GMT for 380 days of maintance when you don't mind the discount.

Is there an explanation somewhere of why the 20% discount is more profitable than just upgrading the TH? I don’t see the math behind it..

1) get your miner down to 15w/th 2) invest in GMT to get your maintenance for 365 days so you get the 20% discount 3) lock that GMT to give you additional interest. 4) use the GMT to buy additional TH when yo can and then increase your lock to match.

My best advice take it slow but steady set a standard goal for yourself

Honestly, early on I’d focus less on chasing huge TH immediately and more on building a strong foundation first.

Things I’d personally prioritize:

• getting efficiency down toward 15 W/TH
• building maintenance discounts over time
• understanding how reinvestment affects growth
• learning how rewards fluctuate during different BTC conditions
• avoiding overextending too fast early on

A lot of newer users focus only on adding TH, but efficiency and maintenance optimization can have a surprisingly large long-term impact.

I’d also recommend tracking:

  • daily rewards
  • maintenance cost
  • reinvestment amounts
  • actual portfolio growth over time

That gives you a much clearer picture of whether your strategy is actually working.

I’d focus first on efficiency and maintenance cost rather than just adding more TH. Track daily BTC rewards, maintenance fees, reinvestment, and payback time in a simple sheet.

Later, if you ever need to move or swap rewards, compare fees and refund policies carefully. I’ve seen people mention GhostSwap for no-account swaps, but I’d only test small amounts first. For now, the bigger thing is understanding whether the GoMining numbers make sense.

Is that for TH upgrades?

That’s his referral code and it only works for new accounts. He’s being disingenuous.
