I've been mining ETH, XMR and hosting Storj for ~2 years variously (the 12TB HDD was actually going to be used on a second Storj node I was about to spin up). I also have a Pi node running but I'm not convinced Pi is real yet :V
Eth and XMR are very easy to mine. Just get a wallet (or mine directly into Binance to save on gas like I do), edit configs/BATs and you're good. Storj takes some effort to set up but it isn't bad (had to relearn Linux to make a stable server, Ubuntu is good), and Chia takes like 5 minutes if you already have the parts.
Chia's network growth is incredible right now, and if pools don't spin up soon, solo miners are going to be crowded out. It's probably not worth it at this point unless you have 100+ TB of storage available and the M.2 power to fill them.
