@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Neat. Are you going to try your luck solo mining?
@mckinley@twtxt.net yeah, solo mining for sure.
Going to buy more of them later on as well.
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no it appears to me you will need to run it for 5 years (or more, I am just talking non-sense here, LOL) just to recover the cost of the device itself. Then you will have to spend a little on electricity too—I know it is a low consumption device, but still….
I sure hope you are not planning a retirement out of it. :-D
@bender@twtxt.net Solo mining at 450 Gh/s, it’s a 1 in 8,765,713 chance per day of mining a block, so it would take roughly 24,000 years on average. Think of it like playing the lottery. It sounds kind of fun to me.
@mckinley, dear lord! With those odds I would never do it. Playing the lottery indeed.
@bender@twtxt.net I think you have a better chance of winning the lottery spending that kind of money 🤣
@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, I do not plan on retiring because of this device lol. But I let it solo mine until it breaks, no need for pennies if you can get the jackpot :p haha.
Gonna buy more of them later on as well.
It’s just a hobby for me, something to do, and I always enjoy getting various hardware related things. Especially open source stuff.
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no What kind of hashrate are you getting on that thing?
@mckinley@twtxt.net 500 GH\s
