I’ve got the original shitcoin mining version from early 2018. Fun to play around with, but unless you’ve got solar it’ll never be profitable.

That makes sense
Even with solar there's opportunity cost. I would say... unless you have excess solar, it's hard to justify.
I keep trying to get into mining but every way I slice it, it's a better value just to straight up buy bitcoin
That’s where I keep coming down on it, too. I look forward to the day when Bitcoin ASICS are ubiquitous elements of everyday household electronics (heaters, etc) and everyone runs one because you get a little bit of your energy bill back in sats each month 🤙
It's just a matter of time. End of the day it's just a chip and some software right?! Everyday electronics can all have a satsback subsidy!
