Tinkerers need to keep at it and integrate mining into various home appliances. I like the space heaters and hot water tanks. When I eventually buy a home I plan to incorporate stuff like that. Still have to factor in energy prices, which may be the biggest factor. Eliminate the current crop of lunatic politicians and allow ourselves to produce cheap energy and it may become easier for normal people to mine a little. Corporate entities actually could help distribute mining as well. I have a dream where I’m running an energy company and right next to my nuclear power plant is a massive mining facility, and then I have an incentive program whereby my electric customers can run miners at home and contribute to the pool and get rebates.
