Hello all,
I am currently conducting research on the mining ecosystem as part of my thesis, and I am looking to get a deeper understanding of (inter alia) the relationship between location & size on the types of perceived risks, as well as on miner behavior with regards to switching chains.
I would be grateful if you could answer a questionnaire (see below, 9 questions, duration of around 3-4 minutes).
Thanks in advance!
Questionnaire Q1: Where is your mining operation located (Country, state/province)?
Q2: Why did you choose this location?
Q3: What is the size of your mining operation (e.g. in terms of TH/s)?
Q4: What source(s) of energy does your mining operation use?
Q5: Are you participating in a mining pool? If not, why not?
Q6: Have you ever switched to mining BCH with your mining hardware. If yes, skip question 7
Q7: Considering that there have been occasions that BCH was 2-4x more profitable to mine than BTC (in terms of BTC), why did you decide to stick to mining BTC? More answers are possible.
- According to my/our estimations BCH was not more profitable than BTC - I/We ideologically oppose to BCH - I was/we were unaware of BCH’s relative profitability over BTC - I/we did not trust any BCH mining pool - To my/our opinion, BCH was not liquid enough - There was not enough time to switch my/our mining hardware - I/we do not closely monitor mining profitability of BCH - Other, please specify:
Q8: What do you consider to be the biggest risk(s) to your mining operation?
Q9: What kind of difficulties/hurdles have occurred while running your mining operation?
Thank you for your answers!
