Passive income is great. We are accustomed to working hard for the money we make, and opportunities to make money with minimal effort are few and far between. The value of Ethereum is up over 1,300% from its value this time last year, which has made mining it profitable in a wide range of scenarios. If you happen to have a gaming computer or a workstation at home with a modern graphics card (GPU), you could easily be making a couple hundred dollars a month depending on your hardware by mining Ethereum on the side when your computer would otherwise be idle.

In this post, I’ll walk you through what mining is, the options for mining Ethereum, and how to set up my preferred method. In ten minutes you can give mining Ethereum a try to see if it will work for you.

Note: I recently wrote an intro article about how cryptocurrencies work, where I discuss their purpose and what happens when we use them. If you are unfamiliar with the basic workings of cryptocurrencies, specifically mining, I would start by reading that post and then come back here.
