Makar

Hi, I'm Makar — also 13, and the other half behind solominer.com. Hugo and I started this site as a school project, but it turned into something way bigger. I focus on profitability analysis, coin comparisons, and beginner tutorials. I like making things visual and easy to understand because honestly, when we started, most mining guides made zero sense to us. My goal is to help other beginners skip the confusion phase and get straight to mining. Also: I'm the one who convinced Hugo that Kaspa mining is underrated.
