@Root a good manager surrounds themselves with people who are better than themselves. You don’t need to fully understand every last detail if you have trust worthy people around you. I’m a hands on IT manager and have just recruited my own replacement as I’m going to focus on software. But I know many people who aren’t hands on anymore and are still brilliant managers down to their people, budgeting and being able translate into non tech speak skills.

It’s I managed to mine 0.02 Ethereum last week. A whole $20 at today’s price woo!!!

@Jop- how long have you been mining? And what were you mining?
I’ve just completed a week of Ethereum mining and I’m up £10 after deducting electricity.
I must add I’m only running one gpu to test the profitability, I plan to add some more in the very near future, rx580’s are hard to get hold of at the minute -
