Who it is for
Curious operators before the first purchase
This workshop suits adults who have read forum threads about hashboards and want grounded crypto mining education before spending on ASICs, GPUs, or second-hand PSUs. You should be comfortable with basic computer use; no prior mining experience is required.
Result you leave with
By the end of the day you hold a personalised decision sheet: preferred hardware path, estimated daily watt draw, noise expectations, ventilation notes for your space, and a go / wait recommendation based on current Victorian tariff examples.
What is included
- Morning briefing on ASIC versus GPU trade-offs for small operators
- Hands-on look at cabling discipline, intake and exhaust placement, and dust control
- Live profitability sketch using sample hashrates and regional electricity rates
- Printed workbook and a one-week email checklist after the session
- Tea, coffee, and a light lunch at the Shepparton North rooms
What is excluded
- Sale or supply of mining machines, power supplies, or hosting contracts
- Licensed electrical work or board upgrades
- Guaranteed profit figures or investment advice
- Overnight unsupervised access to classroom hardware

Preparation
Bring a notebook, your latest electricity bill (or a photo of the tariff page), and rough measurements of the room or shed you plan to use. Optional: photos of your switchboard faceplate.
Constraints
Sessions are educational. We pause any discussion that drifts into unlawful activity or promises of returns. Learners under 18 need a guardian present for the full day.
