You’re right! Especially for older versions like the S9. I have relatively cheap power in Texas but still lose about 80 cents per day. I enjoy tinkering with miners and the idea of non-KYC sats (and being able to hear my garage), so I’m happy to pay the fee…but yes not profitable! Have looked into solar a bit but really, you have to scale up relatively big to be profitable.

Cool, thanks for the info! I enjoy seeing different setups. Exploring different ways of utilizing the heat is interesting too, I could see tinkering around with it being fun.

It is! They’re pretty cheap right now too (the S9’s), less than 100 bucks through nostr:npub1q4zl8v0cpeu0lv47msq2z0jpkr2q3wq5d4ukylxg9sx7t7rcz0uq5ftv7q

Worth the hours & hours I’ve spent messing around with them (getting them online, joining pools, etc)!
