I also take it you are selling the BTC right as you receive it in the mining case? If you can cover your mining costs than you can hodl the BTC you've mined and sell it at strategic points. This is why you see miners accumulating when the price gets too low and when the market is in a blowoff top phase you see miners selling more.

I have seen several posts referencing Blokforge and Eastshore and had a couple of questions about them.

On Blokforge any purchase over $500 requires wire transfer or sending crypto. I am a little hesitant since it's hard to have any recourse if something goes wrong.

On Eastshore the only option I saw was to send crypto. Again a little hesitancy.

Have any of you here paid through these methods and had any sort of issues or luck. I am curious of the general feedback.

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a place where I can buy new and or used S17's in stock at a decent price?
