About
Bitcoin mining, in the open
I'm Xylo, and I'm based in Australia. I mine Bitcoin in two ways: through GoMining, where I own digital hashrate that earns daily Bitcoin rewards, and with my own GPU through Kryptex.
I document it as I go: the setup, the costs, what the numbers really look like, and what I get wrong. I make short videos for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, post on X and Reddit, and write longer pieces on Medium.
What this site is for
Mining content online is full of hype. This site is the opposite: one place where you can learn how mining works, test the maths yourself, and see my real numbers, including the unexciting ones. It is education and a record of my own experience, not advice to buy anything.
- Guides – Plain-English explainers on hashrate, difficulty, maintenance fees and how to work out profitability, plus a GoMining quickstart.
- Calculator – Put in your own numbers and stress test them before you spend anything.
- My results – What my own mining has actually done, shown as my numbers and not typical ones.
- Stats – Views, likes and followers across my channels, updated automatically.
- Socials – My latest videos and posts from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Reddit in one place.
- Articles – Longer write-ups on Medium.
- Referrals – The tools I use, with my referral codes.
How I keep it honest
- No promises of profit. Returns depend on Bitcoin's price, difficulty and fees, and can be negative.
- When I share my own results, they are my numbers, not typical, and yours can be lower.
- Claims in my guides link to their sources.
- Some videos use AI-generated narration and are labelled as such.
Referral links
Some links on this site and in my videos are referral links for GoMining, Kryptex, Coinbase, Coinbase Wallet. If you join through one I may earn a reward from that company, at no extra cost to you. I only list tools I use, and every guide that points to one says so. See the referrals page.

Not financial advice. Mining and crypto carry real risk, so only use money you can afford to lose.
