Keeping dry powder for moonshots without selling bags

I’m trying to keep a steady DCA into microcaps without always cashing out of positions too early. The goal is to have a couple of small side streams that trickle in and cover buys, so I can hold bags longer and still take shots.

Right now I’ve got two running: card cashback (not life-changing but it adds up if you pay everything through it) and a flexible staking position I can pull from anytime without being stuck for months. I wanted to add a third, so I’ve been experimenting with a tiny hosted mining setup. Nothing big, just a “lunch money” sized test. I put it through hashmole and I’m watching how consistent the daily credit is, whether the fees eat most of it, and how fast a withdrawal actually clears to my wallet. Until that’s proven, I’m keeping the stake small.

Has anyone here run small arbitrage loops that didn’t get fee-bled? Or found mining/hosting options that paid out reliably without surprise lock-ins? Even creative stuff like cashback hacks or side gigs that funnel directly into buys. I’m especially interested in the metrics you check before scaling: minimum withdrawal, payout frequency, pool stats vs. dashboard, counterparty risk. Real experiences with numbers help a lot more than theories.
