 Any idea how profitable/worthwhile these Apollo solo miners are?

 To calculate the ROI take the 6-10 TH/s from their website (40% spread in the advertised hash rate lol) and throw that plus your cost of electricity in a mining calculator. https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator 
 @Adarnit to add, I don't see the power consumption of the unit on the website. You want to add that to your profitability calculation. However, mining with 6 TH/s or 10 TH/s makes a huge difference. You really want a more accurate hash rate estimate than 6-10 TH/s 
 Had no idea there were profitability calculators out there

This info helps a ton 🫂💜🤙 
 The beauty of Bitcoin. everything can be calculated because all numbers are known. 😉  
 I’m gonna guess it’s better to exchange fiat str8 up for sats. 
 Probably true, but this is a good path to some non-KYC sats 
 Another good path to get non KYC sats is to create a product/offer a service and sell it for sats over lightning. ⚡️ 
 I haven’t seen any numbers. I’m solo mining with mine. So far I haven’t won the lottery. 
 Even if it's not the most profitable, it still seems like a good first step to get into solo mining 
 That’s why I got it. To learn by doing. 
 Solo mining is not only about playing the lottery, but also about helping to decentralize and secure the network (little by little). Every hash matters. 
 Mining will never be profitable for a pleb at home, the only use is to have the heat do something else for you ie heat a room
