424 for power for gear that earns 207 a month means home mining is losing 217 a month. but
I generate 3412 btus per Kwatt or 10k btus an hour 24/7
so my heating bill is close to zero vs about 200.
Thus I break even at my home mining for 5 -6 months a year.
At current terrible price and difficulty numbers.
My real mining is at far lower price at a host in Iowa
Okay, that's great! You must have something special setup to draw the heat into ductwork and circulate it through the house using the air handler. I like the idea o using the equipment heat to heat the house it is possible instead of using electricity or natural gas for heat.
I've got a family member that has a AL-1000 gas meter with a capacity of 2.5 million BTU/hr with two 2" lines, capable of flowing as the same time - which is needed for a huge house wit five HVAC systems, cooking equipment, grill and pizza oven, multiple tankless water heaters, clothes dryers, twenty outdoor gas lighting fixtures, swimming pool/Spa heating, etc. - and the other 2" gas line feeds a 150kW commercial size generator to make electricity for the whole house with an 800 amp service if utility power is ever out. His natural gas bill can be enormous if there is a lot of gas equipment used. Thankfully it usually doesn't get really cold in North Texas and if it does, it doesn't last long.
I rode my mountain bike a little today in shorts and a t-shirt because it was sunny and 72° on January 1st and your area still has snow on the ground and temps close to teens.
BTW, Happy New Year to you, Phil - Hoping you have a healthy, prosperous and meaningful 2026. And, Go Bitcoin! Go up, that is!!!
