\section{Results}
|
||||
Upcoming pages are based on the final filtered dataset with 60 responses of people who voluntarily entered the research based on opportunity sampling.
|
||||
\subsubsection{General information}
|
||||
When asked about motivation for mining Monero, two thirds of the respondents (40) think about Monero as an investment, but also as a way to gain some profit from mining cryptocurrencies (37).
|
||||
|
||||
Altought Monero is not considered to be more profitable to mine by majority in the dataset (46), almost half of the miners (28) favor this cryptocurrency due to its mining characteristics CPU minable and the fact that they directly help securing the network by mining (36).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that reasons for mining Monero are biased by the way the respondents in the dataset were selected. In general, there would be higher percentage of the cryptocurrency miners that care only for the profitability rather than cryptocurrency features \cite{al2014investigating}.
|
||||

|
||||
\subsubsection{Mining setup}
|
||||
Gathering information about mining setups was designed as multiple-choice question where every choice was described in detail as illustrated in the Figure \ref{pic:miningquestion}. Even through dataset cleansing, from the final 60 respondents, 15 of them chose both \textit{Regular PC only} and \textit{Mining rig} option. Therefore, only 45 respondents are taken in account for this section.

\end{figure}
|
||||
|
||||
When asked about mining setup, majority of the miners prefer to mine on their own PC (15) or also on mining rig (31), but there is also a small portion of miners that use theirs employer hardware and electricity as well (8).
