Oddbean new post about login | logout Yep lol. This is why I quit running the one miner I had and never got any more. After factoring in my power costs and the fact that I don’t live anywhere that it’s cold enough to use as a heater, it was a no brainer. Would have been a huge net loss for me.
Yeah mining changed A LOT around 2016 when we quadrupled the hash rate with the S7's. I think S5 was the era where you could still ROI on hardware in a short period of time while stacking serious sats. The S7's were a game changer and around that time I also stopped printing my own money. Much sad, best experience I ever had.
