Have you noticed that quiet home miners for Bitcoin have not been produced for a long time?
This is because Bitcoin mining has long since become industrial, and a small home miner no longer has a big impact. If his energy tariff allows him to make a profit, then he will mine, if not, then he will turn off the ASICs.
It can't be said that nobody is producing ASICs for home mining, I have the impression that we've never had as much choice as we do now: with the Nano 3, for example, or the Bitaxe or the new sidehack products.
In my opinion, it's just that home mining is becoming more and more focused on solo mining each cycle, but that doesn't mean it's non-existent.
Previously, there were models similar to ASIC C9, which could work in an apartment due to low noise. Now you can only buy an ASIC heater for an apartment, but these models practically do not pay for themselves.
I would not compare lottery mining with classic mining, given that the chances of mining a block on these devices are very low.
well in house with a quiet miner is possible.
but more or less in the 700-1000 watt range.
mining to a blind address via nicehash.
My winter power is 13 cents 1000 watts is 25kwatts a day or $3.25 daily cost.
for my 1000 watts I can get 45th which is $2.31 usd a day
looks like a loss
but it is going to a blind btc address and gets paid every 3 weeks
which means privacy and only 17 deposits a year.
There is value in this . Plus I need heat 6 months a year so my 1 dollar loss does get reduced.
There is a lot to be said about mining a 700-1000 watt miner in your home. But the more your power bill is 13 cents vs 20 cents vs 30 cents vs 50 cent a watt the value is altered.
