Since NerdAxe miners and all other solo miners are too very slime for Bitcoin mining, isn't it better that they should just mime Bitcoin cash? Because I spend hours on Bitcoin and Bitcoincash a day ago and I seem marginally different between the two.

I am talking about how easy it is to solve a block solo mining Bitcoin cash, I am tempted to do this instead of hoping to solve a block of Bitcoin, yes it will be life changing for me but a single Bitcoin cash block been solved will bring back my ROI faster.

Or you guys have a better advice? Electricity that these miners use are too small, it's nothing to worry about for me but I want to know what you that's reading this would prefer to do in this case, with 6th or 13th  solo miner, isn't it better to mine Bitcoin cash?

Most miners only treat NerdAxe as a lottery miner for Bitcoin, but if you want to switch to BCH and are able to solve a block with ROI, then it's your choice.
No one forces you to mine Bitcoin or any coins; it depends on you if you want to run it as a lottery or not.

Since NerdAxe doesn't pull much power, it shouldn't be hurt your pocket when you run this unit every month. If you can make a profit mining BCH, then you can stay mining it.
For me, the only purpose of this miner is for the lottery and for educational purposes.

Bitcoin (BTC)  block reward is 3.125 BTC which is $207812.50 with the present price of bitcoin or $66500.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) block reward now is 3.125 BCH which is $702.8125 with bitcoin cash price of $224.9.

Can you see some differences there?

But according to my findings, bitcoin mining is still profitable than bitcoin cash mining if the same equipments are used.

Join a bitcoin mining pool instead of looking to find a block.

The solo miner that used $150 recently to have luck of 3.125 BTC, will he not be happy than earning 3.125 BCH? There are solo miners that target bitcoin because the reward is very huge, although it is more difficult.

You can combine your efforts, first directing your devices to Bitcoin Cash mining. If successful, you'll buy back your investment and then mine Bitcoin solo.

I think the main reason is the desire to win several hundred thousand dollars, not less than $1,000.

I never said I was under any force, I am just trying to see what others would have done in my own shoe, thanka for your input anyway.

I think I have a better solution since OP made mentioned of 6TH and 12TH.
If you have access to two separate solo miners with 6TH each you can use one on Bitcoin solo mining and the other on BCH solo.

The chances of solving a BCH block is easier but that entire reward is just $700 or a bit less which still makes sense because a 6TH miner should be around $250 or so, to get things done more effectively it's better to go BCH and BTC at once.

Even solving a single BCH block will cover for the two miners, but the choice is yours.

~snip
Considering the cost of electricity and even the maintenance and purchase cost of these mining wares you discover most solo miners are not actively chasing profit. Then again there's the possibility of being lucky enough to get a block reward it has happened a couple of times in the past too.

~snip
Yeah your calculations are correct but I don't think it's a guarantee they'll dominate easily. Even if it is a fine alternative not all miners will buy the idea.

solo mining btc is not for roi -------- but you are king like well maybe duke like if you hit a block

solo mining bch could make roi ----but it is no big deal as a block is well under 1000 bucks.

I do not solo mine bch I do btc

I would argue just mine btc and stack with the miner . but be sure to stack and hodl it.

it is more likely btc will do 10 or 20x over 10 -15 years. stacking 10th x .00322 means 32 cents a day

for  1 year that is 365 x .32=116.8 worth of btc

in 10-15 years it should have good value.

in 10-15 years it should have good value.

$116 in a year is $1116 if Bitcoin did 10x in the future, still very small, I will rather have more of those miners to make it worthwhile but I am hearing that these solo miners have a small life span, that's another problem there, since you yourself have said that Asic miners are still the best for solo mining I've started to think about it.

What if my solo miners don't use more than 4years before they give up? Chasing 70TH with these small miners already, but the longevity what's on my mind all this while, if not maybe I would have stood my ground on Avalon Q with the 90TH and 1500+ watts, but it's a waiting game now.

I did something right with my small miners, I've swapped out some coolers with silver heat sinks to gold heat sinks and noticed some improvements, part of me still believe that running miners with less heat degrees keeps them alive for longer just like graphics cards, anything under 60°C is where they should be.
