#Bitcoin Miner. Sovereign Individual. Follow the white rabbit. Keep Nostr Weird.

We are mining in southeast Missouri about 2.5 hours from St. Louis. There is a scene in Poplar Bluff, but obviously smaller than STL / KC.

Please welcome my lovely wife #[0] to #Nostr

I have not used it, but it would be low TH solo mine and total lottery / luck. I have seen posts where people have connected them to a solar panels so there is no energy cost, however the odds are astronomical that you would ever solve a block and in all likelihood would not recoup the money to buy or build the miner. If you are doing it for fun or educational purposes, it’s worthwhile. If you want to mine and make money or get no KYC sats, then you will need an ASIC.

Unfortunately you can’t mine with PC, laptop and server anymore. You would need ASICS. The answer would really come down to your price of electricity and if you would run them yourself or pay to host them somewhere. Then evaluate those costs / risks against just buying Bitcoin.

We all wanted a robust fee market… nostr:note106cdrrftkr9vc4q5mx6vfjjntcu5y7dznyjzqsykp7pn8dfwj35seqnj8k

Them: Fees alone will never be enough to support miners.
