Why Solo Mining is My Favorite Hardware Rabbit Hole

[HashRate Hero]

When i see those massive industrial farms and thinking Bitcoin mining was out of reach for the average guy.

It’s a perfect bridge between my interest in embedded systems and the reality of the network. At the end of the day, home mining like this isn't just about the lottery of finding a block; it's about the technical rigor and actually owning a piece of the decentralization.

I'm not against home mining with such devices, but I urge you to be reasonable. These devices find a few blocks per year, but tens or hundreds of thousands of these mini ASICs are sold each year. Most solo blocks are found using a high hashrate. In this situation, the richest people will be those who sell lottery tickets.

I got you ... it remains a lottery ticket ( a very small chance ) but it exist   as someone who likes gadgets i can concider it as an extra one ..... i place it near the modem and let it turn .... it s not a waste ( original price and monthly electricity) i prefer to let it run and watch my best Hashrate sometimes

Sellers use similar methods to sell these devices to many miners. Why buy a boring lottery ticket from a kiosk when you can install a real, buzzing, high-tech profit generator next to your modem?

ASICs for mining are already obsolete. But buying such a stress-relieving gadget is like buying a ticket to a private club for solo miners.

?

you mean home mining? or in general?

I think it is a language barrier.

no miner works more efficiently than an asic.

So the newest asics are not obsolete

but the old ones like an s9 are obsolete.

It's just a misunderstanding of the word  obsolete!

 ASICs as a technology are irreplaceable and run the network via modern models, but older generations such as  the S9 are indeed obsolete because their efficiency J/TH can't compete with today's difficulty.


Older models rank in today  race are  simply late   , but the tech is king.
