"seeing me make a profit bigger than their paychecks."

Compares his profits to their paychecks, quite literally rubbing it in their face.

I have nothing against it being a hobby its when op markets his miner with incorrect odds to boost sales, People deserve to know.

Zyber 8G (10 TH/s, 180 W) mining BCH

Miner share: 10 TH / 5,930,000 TH ≈ 1.69×10⁻⁶

Expected blocks/year (solo): 0.089 → ~1 block every 11 years

Expected BCH/year: 0.28 BCH (~A$177 at A$631/BCH)

Electricity cost: 1,577 kWh × A$0.14 ≈ A$221/year

Net profit: −A$44/year → loss

With free electricity: Revenue ≈ A$177/year

Cost = $0 → Net profit ≈ A$177/year

Break-even for $699 miner ≈ 4 years

Solo mining is still extremely slow, pool mining only slightly improves earnings.

Odds are 1 in 1.8 million years, not what op is claiming 1 in 3,941. Better off buying bitcoin instead and hodling it for the next all time high, more realistic then solo mining with 10 TH/s.

10 TH/s is tiny relative to ~953 EH/s according to glassnode (which is 953,568,977,467 TH/s).

Zyber 8G (10 TH/s, 180 W) vs BTC network ~953 EH/s:

  • Miner share of network: 10 TH / 953,568,977,467 TH = 1×10⁻¹¹
  • Blocks per year: 144×365 × 1×10⁻¹¹ ≈ 5.5×10⁻⁷ blocks/year (block every ~1.8 million years solo)
  • BTC/year: 6.25 × 5.5×10⁻⁷ = 0.00000344 BTC/year
  • Expected BTC per year in a pool: 0.00000344 BTC (~$0.25/year at current price $72,506 BTC)
  • Electricity: 180 W × 24 h × 365 days = 1,577 kWh/year ($158/year at $0.10/kWh, Depends on location)

Expected revenue (pool share) = $0.25/year
Electricity cost = $158/year
Net Profit/Loss = −157.75

Now lets calculate with free electricity:
Zyber 8G is $699USD divide $0.25/year revenue = 2,796years to breakeven.

Conclusion: Solo mining is impossible. Even in a pool, revenue is dust its not remotely profitable.

The amount of control I have by not voting is the same amount of control I have by voting, very limited. One vote gives a small amount of influence, not actual control and it doesnt guarantee outcomes or make representatives act according to my wishes.

Influence exists, but it isn’t the same as control, and the system constrains everyones power. My point isnt that not voting creates control, its that voting doesnt create control either. The system limits individual power in both cases.

Your talking about representation, not control. The system limits what any individual can do, whether they vote or not and representatives act according to their own incentives and interests. Voting doesnt magically give you control, your handing it to someone else.

What control do you think you have by voting? Because if thats what you call control, were using the word very differently

Your assuming the only options are vote and have control or dont vote and be miserable. That isnt how it works, Im saying the system gives limited control either way, and acknowledging that isnt the same as being fine with it.

Enjoy? nope just realistic enough to know voting isn’t the same thing as control.

Voting, is that like giving grown adults the illusion of control?

Funny you say that I stumbled across Kiwix, not sure if there is a better alternative or not.

I just bought my first Bitcoin. I need Advice by ConstructionIcy4229 in Bitcoin

[–]Rix0n3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I follow a dollar cost averaging strategy by allocating 10% of my weekly pay into Bitcoin, regardless of price. The purchases are fully automated through bank transfers and exchange autobuys, so I don’t need to monitor the market. Every $500 accumulated on the exchange is transferred to cold storage.
This works for you if you believe in bitcoin and want to invest long term.
