When I think about mining work, I figure it's all about keeping things running smooth, making my gear last and picking the right time to jump in. I'd make sure my plan's got some wiggle room for stuff that could go wrong like if my equipment breaks down or if new rules pop up or even if bitcoin's price takes a wild swing. I don't want to get caught off guard. So I'd double check my setup's efficient and tough enough to hang in there, while keeping an eye oh the market to dodge any big surprises.
