If you need a heat pump for your house definitely buy the miner. Costs half as much and pays you bitcoin

A heater for my office could be useful 😂

You need miners consuming 3-4x the energy for the same heating capacity as a heatpump.

And then ask yourself if the Bitcoin earnings are worth the higher cost of needing more miners for the same performance, and energy

That was going to be my next question. As a mining n00b I haven’t done the calcs to see at what point does it become entirely worth it. Or, is much of the hardware for solo mining sort of the “pick and axe” of the gold rush. It’s just entirely by chance you might get small return in a pool or whole block if lotto mining, but most end up with nada.

the latter

I made the mistake of buying an s9 3 years ago. I should have bought Bitcoin.

I’ve to clean it and use it as a heater now that is getting colder.

Agreed, it seems like a losing battle with the amount of fiat needed for the potential at earning BTC versus just outright buying the same amount you’d have spent on the hardware

They are very noisy and unless you underclock it is not the sort of device you can have inside a home.

I think it's more of an ideological statement or hobby project than a good investment

haha yup, agreed, and why i got the bitaxe touch for my office desk.
