I'm looking at the costs at running a bot farm to see what I'd need to expect minimum to break even. I'm thinking as far as power consumption costs, cost of proxy per account. I have a few computers I could run ~20 bots on for now. I'm thinking of a f2p throwaway farm. Scripts I'd write myself, auto mule and everything.

What got me interested was this  proxy service https://www.socks-proxy.net/buysocksproxy.html which offers an updating list of proxies. You could have a different proxy per throwaway account...

I'd like to know if anyone has done the math to the specifics.

I was running a single bot per $10 instance on Digital Ocean - had everything fully automated using Docker containers and Rancher:

Probably a bit overkill but I like the automation and how I was able to utilise the API to automate the creation of accounts right through to scaling the size of my farm.

This meant that I was eating into a fair chunk of my profits however I was able to leave it running for days on end without every worrying about it or needing any of my input which outweighed the lost profit in my eyes.
