If you are new to mining, this is where you want to be. If you are experienced, you also want to be here.Pro Tip: Ask for Lance. Regardless of your skill level, he is an incredible resource and guide. (He won’t let you tip him, but be sure to pay it forward and write a review after you go have your mind blown)
