#### 13 months ago almost to the day I began mining Dash at home, in addition to mining Bitcoin, which I had been doing since late October 2016.
<br />If you have been following my journey, you know that the block rewards from mining have been falling month after month – which is, of course, something to be expected in this business of ever-increasing hashpower and network difficulty.

Two months ago I reported earning **0.075 DASH** in February and March (I publish my mining reports on a bi-monthly basis). The last two months, April and May, brought me **0.065 DASH**. I was considering switching to mining DigiByte instead, but then something happened that brought an end to my home mining experiment.

## <center>I sold my miner.</center>
<br />A friend of mine and a fellow crypto-enthusiast decided to carry the experiment forward and try to mine different coins on a mini-scale: on smartphones, laptops and small miners like the one I had until earlier today (**Baikal Cube Mini** on the photo above).

Just before I left for a summer holiday in Montenegro, I came by my friend’s place and helped him install the miner. He will continue documenting this experiment from where I left off.

### <center>He will be publishing his impressions and reports on @minimining here on Steem. So make sure to follow him, if you want to stay tuned!</center>

As to my Bitcoin home mining project, you probably remember that in the beginning of this year I switched to mining Bitcoin Cash. Which turned out to be a great thing, because the price of BCH relative to BTC has gone up significantly since then, while the network hashrate – and therefore the rewards – has been kind of stable until the last month. On average I have been earning **0.1 BCH** per month on my mining hardware. The last two months haven’t been an exception: I still made **0.2 BCH** in April and May.

These days, however, as temperature outside increased up to almost summer-like levels, it has become harder to keep my Bitcoin miner going without turning my small apartment into sauna. So today, as I was about to leave on vacation, I decided to pull the plug – quite literally in this case. Just like the last year, the miner will be enjoying its summer holiday too. And, as I will be leaving Gävle in July, I would like to sell this machine too.

<br />Let me know if you’re interested in buying my **Spondoolies Tech SP-30** and maybe we will work out a deal.

#### And thus this home mining experiment has come to its conclusion. If you are interested in knowing what will happen next, make sure to follow my friend @minimining. Leave your questions and mining stories in the comments below. In the coming week this blog will be covering my summer holiday in Budva, Montenegro. As always, stay tuned! ;)
