I have some (alot) of 1w/Gh gear.  High power bills be damned, I am turning it back on!  Going to be a really warm winter.

Anybody else doing this?  At this rate, I might even dust off my underclocked singles. Cheesy

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I'm sure there are some who will do this.  Some justify paying more as the heat is there.  But at price now see on BTC value no doubt more old gear online.

As a general rule I suggest selling old gear if not using it.  They bring a little more ROI hopefully by doing this.  The lose value if you sit them there unplugged.

i don't hve any equipments anymore, sold everything, the despair phase lasted too long, and with those efficienty i would be at loss even with the current price, probably, or a very tiny profit

not worth it, also mining in the room where i sleep is not very healthy
