here you go. Bit niche, best get some specialist advice before you try any DIY at home.
I don't think it's worth the hassle and increased demands on your computer hardware and electricity bills.
Join folding at home instead

My 3080FE is making about £5 a day before electric, running reduced voltage a mild RAM overclock and unlock on the core, in the time I have been mining I've not killed any hardware..
Does folding at home not actually do anything for the end-user financially though?
At least mining puts money back in your pocket...
Just a warm fuzzy feeling that you are doing some good for humanity, giving compute resources to postgrads so they can complete some basic research.
So pretty much the exact opposite of crypto currency, where we burn power entirely for selfish financial gain with, AFAICS, no net benefit to the human race at all
You can try using NiceHash, it's essentially a one click miner. They do take a cut of what profits you could have made by joining a mining pool and manually setting up a miner, but it's so much easier than having to swap between the coin you're mining depending on current profitability and managing your wallets independently.
Honest question, I'm not trying to start any argument here...
Has anyone on here actually bought anything directly with crypto?
I've personally mined and then moved that value around over Ethereum and Pylygon networks, have played with DeFi (almost certainly with an overall loss of money rather than making any), I've done a lot of crypto transactions at this point but to buy stuff I've had to withdraw money to Paypal and buy it in GBP.
I know Scan accept Bitcoin, but I haven't bought anything that way yet - I mined to pay for my card before building a few hundred quid to hold, just to see what happens, (sprinkled with a wee bit of FOMO). The rest just gets periodically dumped out to my paypal account and, most recently, paid for a sofabed.
I believe mining Folding Coin was quite profitable a couple of years back, but I never got into it so I'm only speaking third hand and don't really know much about it.

Now that I find really interesting! So how did that work? Eth QR code?
I spent years creating pinpads and payment systems used from corner shops up to really big supermarkets. Eth seems to be almost a decent payment system on paper (I don't think Eth 2 scales up anywhere big enough though, like magnitudes out still). But I've never seen it in use in a physical situation.
Yeah, QR code.
When my friend's coin - nahmii - hits the big time, as I expect it to do in the next couple of weeks, they could actually solve the scalability issue without it resulting in too high costs, speed or security. Whether that will make it a viable POS solution, who knows, probably still not, but even if it can't replace the rapid exchange side of currency functions, that doesn't mean it doesn't already fill enough other functions well enough to make it a viable currency.
For anyone who has the same question as me, I found the answer to be nicehash.com.
