I got some experience hobby mining and learning along the way.

The big (mostly mental) hurdle was the upfront costs. I did a lot of research.

There are great examples like 256heat.com and reviewers like Red Panda Mining who do a good job of measuring and testing.

I used grok a lot to compare and calculate ROI.

The cost of this miner is not cheap - about equal to used miners tuned and modded for home use.

It comes ready to go.

I found some 3D shrouds I like for it to tie directly into the HVAC.

I’ll automate it with Home Assistant along with the fan - and it’ll be controlled by the thermostat.
