It’s easy to mine cryptocurrencies

Starting out as a cryptocurrency miner is easy and will earn you a passive income.

You can choose to either re-invest the monies mined by buying more mining machines or start a property portfolio for example. Whichever you choose to do, mining cryptocurrencies is a safe and secure way to see a steady flow of income being generated.

On average, you can expect a return on investment of 6 – 15% per month on a miner bought from Bitmart. Bitmart is the biggest suppliers of mining hardware in South Africa and is situated in the heart of Mbombela. Without further ado, let’s get started!

What does a miner do?

A mining machine allows for transactions to be verified and added to a blockchain. The machine verifies transactions and in return gets rewarded with a certain number of cryptocurrencies as transaction fees and block rewards. Bitmart offers a “plug and play” solution to customers. Once you buy a miner, you can plug it in at your house and the machine will start mining to your wallet.

How do I start mining?

You can start to mine cryptocurrencies today. All you have to do is visit the Bitmart office where qualified professionals will help you to get started. The first step would be to get acquainted with the various mining machines that are currently available. Bitmart’s friendly staff will work with you to establish what type of machine would be best suited to your needs as well as your data and electricity capacity. Next you can open an account with NiceHash and connect your miner. NiceHash is a marketplace for cryptocurrencies as it connects buyers and sellers of hashing power.
