GoMining just launched Community Posts, so I had a look around and wanted to share my honest first impressions. How it works: • Mobile app only, for now • Bronze 2 and above can post once a day • Platinum 1 and above can post five times a day • Posts include a title, text and image, and require approval before appearing in the feed There’s also a new Live tab showing what people across the community are doing in real time. My honest take? I’m not sold. I’m not a fan of the Live feed. I think some of that activity should stay private, and there should at least be an option to opt out. I’m also concerned the feed could become quite noisy. There will undoubtedly be some great creators sharing useful content, but if that’s the goal, why not invite them to contribute guest articles to GoMining’s existing platform? The community already has places to connect and share advice, such as Discord. I’m not convinced we need another social feed built into the app. Apologies to the @GoMining team if you’re reading this. These are just my honest first impressions, and I’m happy to be proven wrong! Would you use it? Let me know below 👇

How I first got into mining Bitcoin with GoMining 👇 I’ve been in crypto for about 5 years now, and honestly, I’ve had my fair share of bad luck. NFTs, meme tokens, all sorts of projects I genuinely believed in… only for them to completely fall apart. But one thing I’d always been interested in was Bitcoin mining. I liked the idea of actually building something rather than just buying a token and hoping the price went up. The problem was, I knew absolutely nothing about mining and didn’t have the money or equipment to get started. Then about 2.5 years ago, I saw an advert for @GoMining through the Pi app. My first thought was basically: “Yeah… probably another Ponzi.” 😂 There’s a LOT of dodgy stuff in crypto, especially when someone starts talking about passive income and mining. So I did what I normally do. I went down the rabbit hole. I spent a whole day watching videos, reading articles and trying to find something that didn’t add up. Eventually, I decided to give it a go and bought a small miner. Then I joined the Discord, discovered Greedy Machines and thought… yep, I want one of those. The timing was pretty crazy. I’d just been through a separation and family court process, and financially I was struggling. But I really wanted to start rebuilding. I wanted to have something I could slowly build up over time. So I took a loan to buy a Greedy. Looking back, that was a pretty big decision. But the repayments were manageable and I believed enough in what I was doing to take the risk. From there, I just kept reinvesting. Mining rewards went back into miners. I bought and flipped others. I got involved with Miner Wars. And I just kept compounding. Fast forward 2.5 years and I’ve somehow ended up with what I’d call a beast of a mining farm. After so many things in crypto going wrong, this is the first project where I’ve genuinely felt like I’m building something. My hope is that, over time, it becomes an asset that helps me get back on the property ladder. So that’s the story. Not some master plan. I just wanted to understand Bitcoin mining, took a chance, and kept building from there. So far, it was worth it!

Want more Bitcoin from your mining rewards? Reduce your fees. If you’re using @GoMining like me, there are actually several ways to reduce the maintenance fees. Let’s start with VIP status. Depending on your VIP level, you can get up to 6% off your maintenance fees. Then there’s the Service Button. Press it 10 days in a row and you can unlock up to another 3% discount. (Just don’t forget like I did recently…) Number three is based on your GMT holdings. The amount of GMT you hold in your virtual wallet, or have locked, determines your maintenance fee discount. If you hold enough to cover a years worth of fees, you can get up to 20%. And one more… If you’re a loser in Solo mode (I’m back in MinerWars!!), there’s an additional discount from the Tokenomics vote. Which is usually around 1%. So… VIP. Service Button. GMT. Solo. Four different ways to reduce your mining fees. And the lower your fees… the more of your Bitcoin rewards you get to keep. Did I miss anything?
