does it make any sense to plugin an S9 at home? I already run a node and have always wanted to mine, but the economics of it don’t quite click. If I get $0.11/kWh, do I just eat costs until I eventually win a block? does that happen on average enough to make sense? I’ve looked at miner stats sites that typically say you lose money, so do solo miners just take one for the team?

thanks!

You can pool your hashrate and get a more regular payout. Though you'll get some of that eaten up in fees to the mining pool.

Solo mining with low hashrate you're probably just going to be running a loud ass heater.

makes sense. even the pooling estimates eg AntPool show a loss. sounds like itd just be for the heat, thanks!
