... so things don't look pretty for the average joe who pays a ton for power, there will most likely be a drop in difficulty as a post-halving effect, some of these gears might be profitable for a little while, but it's a matter of a few months till they become not anymore, I am sorry if this sounds like fud or anything, I know you know too well to be needing my advice, but this more like a piece of general advice to other newbies, if you don't efficient gears, plan accordingly before it's too late.
Yeah I'm not expecting the M10's to have a long life. In reality a few months of profitability is great, as it brings me back to my winter mining, which can pretty much start in October... Uuuugghh just disgusted myself a little. The M20s, is a different story, as i figure it will be a profitable miner until around January or so barring anything extreme. I have to play around with it and see but with LPM available as well it may just make it into the house this winter as well. Leading into the fall, I have some tough decisions to make whether I remain a year round miner or not. I still enjoy it and have learned a ton from it, but I may be resigned to being a cold month guy. The M20S debaucles that I faced last year in delays and then this year in shit support provided by Pangolin really hurt my plans but nothing is set in stone.
So covid-19 and riots are bigger issue then the ½ ing.
I was actually discussing with someone your solar setups a few weeks ago. I couldn't imagine watching and waiting as all this goes on around you and your investments. Best of luck as I know it was bad enough for you and yours trying to mitigate Covid. Your business plan is great, as the government subsidies for you host partners solar is like adding in a revenue stream which under normal circumstances helps you continue to drive forward.
