The Bitcoin Farm in Escape from Tarkov is the Coup de grâce of the hideout. It’s also incredibly expensive, especially now with graphics cards and bitcoin prices on what seems like a never ending climb.
Some of the most common questions I get is some varation of “is the bitcoin farm worth it?” or “should I upgrade my bitcoin farm” or “should I sell or keep my graphics cards”?
I dove into the numbers, created a nifty spreadsheet for anyone to use //// https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v0WFAyzMnyBa_6KiW2EvYxFHgw_ZWCCOS2hz5N1auPs/edit?usp=sharing //// and came up with some solid fact answers for these very questions.

Airwing did you include the cost of the ever so expensive solar power required for lvl 3 bitcoin? I see you mention it but I think its really important. The only thing it does is reduce fuel cost by 50% and it cost about 9m. Its main purpose is for lvl 3 bitcoin.
A really good item to pick up atm is toothpaste if you sell it at the right time it can sell from 20-80k
Its also a good idea to run interchange tech stores for cards. They have a decent spawn rate and don't require keys. It's dangerous but well worth the reward. Like Airwing said, throw it in your container and if you make it out and your bitcoin farm is already full, you sell it. If you die you can remove a FIR card from your farm to sell and place the non FIR in the farm. I wouldn't recommend buying any cards with this method. Also you can find Tetris. Which you dont need to escape with because they trade directly to mechanic for a bitcoin which sells to therapist. If its in your container, its a win.
I was actually hoping maybe you could do a "is the scav junkbox worth it?" I personally haven't invested into getting it yet cause I'm unsure on it.
Bruh. I started tarkov 1 month after wipe and now it's been about 2 months into the wipe and shit is super fucking expensive.
For me to craft all the shit for hideout would take 10s of millions of rubels.
I say people are better off finding this shit and hiding it in a junkbox then selling it cuz its gonna get more expensive as we go on
Next wipe I'm gonna buy everything i need to max level the hideout early in the raid first before anything else.
Trader levels will come as i level up so might as well buy all the stuff early than wait
I'm new to the game and this is what I learned:
Moral of the story here is…
Don't wait til later in the wipe. Get all your shit earlier in the wipe, even if it means blowing every rubel you have
You will be glad you did early
Thank you for this. It's been my goal since I started last wipe to start my Bitcoin farm up, and I'm finally building it now!
It will take around 11 million rubles to get the solar power upgrade atm in order to even upgrade to lvl 3 bitcoin farm. So thats a lot more time until it pays it self off. Good news is that bitcoins are going for highest ive ever seen them but. (Bitcoin farm upgrade wasn't included)
Airwingmarine. About the part where you talk about how many hours it takes to make a btc in the start. In the future, you should be more clear that even tho the curves makes it seems like there is a diminishing return, the profitcurve is linear from 1-50 gpu's.
this channel is a golden nugget in a pile of generic content
hard to make money in tarkov?? lol, only if u die every raid…
not sure how long youve been playing but ive been playing since early 2018. your videos have just started appearing on my recommended and ive never been one to watch/support youtube gaming videos, imo it ruins the game and takes away from the learning experience especially in tarkov. BUT i must say your videos are direct no filler no bs and actually help some newer folks figure this hell hole of a game out. Keep it up Semper Fi brother
I didnt know the math, I just always stuck to concept that the sooner I build a farm the more bitcoins Im gonna make throughout the wipe. Fairly simple logic even when bitcoin was still 150k. When it is 500k I think its a lot more worth. Yesterday I bought all cards and have 50 of them mining and boy isnt it something. Im telling you even though it costed a fortune Im never gonna run out of money now even if I had horrible strokes of luck. You would need to die a lot of times in a row with expensive gear while gaming at least 8 hours a day and as this guy mentioned – thats not an option for most of community. So yeah, get them graphics cards mining!
You didint count the fuel cost its 180k of fuel can
Watching this after I sold 3 FIR GPUs 😎
I feel like your math is wrong. If GPUs are 900k then the 50 GPUs is 45,000,000 rubles alone. So the total cost CANNOT be 25,000,000. Please fix this massive error in calculations.
airwing marine you are an awesome content creator I always enjoy checking to see when youve posted your next video thank you for everything you do
watching these videos make me really excited for next wipe. for sure rushing this, i just got mine up a few weeks ago but didn’t think the extra graphics would be worth it, but now i know what to do to get that passive money a bit more
**DO NOT REMOVE YOUR GPU'S** i removed 50 out of my bit coin farm to sell my 3 FIR cards while removing 2 non FIR cards deleted from my stash.
I can rat run inta and if i die i use them and if i survive i sell them
I got my level 3 farm up with 50 gpus and I haven’t bought one of them, ran interchange more times than I can count. I bought all the aesas though and they were about 1.5m a piece, def in huge profit already though
2021 online stock market is just difficult and unbelievable, I rather invest my money on crypto
Waste of time https://youtu.be/zFwZvS1onCw
facts!
BROWN GREASY CARD NOOOOO
why you explaining this like a nugit?
can i have back those 9 graphics cards i sold back TT
Got the rest of my gpu's to max out the farm for 19 mil a day ago. will make that back in like 13 days at the current price of bitcoins, just profits from then on, Finally I don't have to play the game with kappa acquired and the hideout maxed making cash on crafts FeelsGoodMan
Anyone know when the best time to buy Graphics cards is? The market is crazy high right now, I have my BC LVL 3 cooking and want to max out asap.
With the price of fuel being 300-400K right now, without the solar power upgrade, running a bitcoin farm with 10 graphics cards or less is a hard sell for me.
I'm sorry to say.. but his math is wrong.
he is forgetting to take into account the extra cost between cards..
here are a simple version.
Number of Cards // Weeks // income
1 1 4 mil
1 2 8 mil
1 3 12 mil
1 4 16 mil
1 5 20 mil
20 1 8.4 mil ( remember the cost was 19 graphics cards more = 19mil more.. soo here we are 15mil in the hole. )
20 2 16.8 mil ( 10.5 mil in minus )
20 3 25.2 mil ( 6.3 mil in minus )
20 4 33.6 mil ( 2 mil in minus )
20 5 42 mil ( not until week 5 are we ahead but only with 2.1 mil.
if you only take into account "when the farm have paid for it self"
then a guy with a Bitcoin farm with 1 card have made 5mil more money in 18 days. then your 20 cards farm.
and like you said.. no every one are able to play every day.. and people who are not. may even take longer to get to the farm in the first place..
totally
only someone willing to play this game every day for more then 5 weeks ( AFTER they get bitcoin farm to 20cards, are goin to see a profit )
for me this wipe I played a bit more casual and it was 6 weeks before I even got lvl 20 to get the upgrade to build the Bitcoin farm… and now to see a profit with more then 1 card. I have to get the money to get the cards. aka 20mil and play every day for 5 weeks more.. to see a profit..
soo in my timeframe… Bitcoin with more then 1 card NOT worth it
math for the calculations in the top is here:
646830 pr Bitcoin. 1 card produce 1BTC pr 24.17h = 26761.6 R/h
646830 pr Bitcoin. 20 cards produce 1BTC pr 12h = 53902.5 R/h
there is 840 hours in 5 weeks.
i've been rushing bitcoin farm since day one of the wipe. finally started construction of it lvl 1 today. so hyped.
