Have a toy to play around with?
Here is a $1 toy which doesn't consume any energy, and is supposed to relieve your stress, not sure about making you warm tho, you probably going to have to squeeze it harder. 
But really, jokes aside, a toy that costs you money to buy and money to run doesn't make sense to me,
See, you're talking to a guy who spent 400E in the pandemic on this thing only to ruin that sum once more in furniture damage, so ...I'm not probably the right guy to ask...
And yeah I'm in my 40s!
I see the only possibility with the perfect climate, so cold but not colder to render it helpless at any point, and with dirt cheap electricity and expensive gas.
No idea if there is even such a place in the whole world.
100 a month will drop off my gas bill.using the s19xp or the L7
My thanks for picking the error up
the s19 xp will lose 30 mining so 100-30 = 70 net gain
the L7 will make 120 mining so 100+120 = 220 net gain
A used s19xp is about 3300
A used L7 is about 3900

This is the thing I love about this forum, we have three 3 guys on 3 continents with different climates and with different energy prices and needs, and for two the thing is just bad or ridiculous, (btw Mikey, do you even need heating? ) and for the other it just works.
But the thing in all your equations that I don't agree with is the initial cost.
Now, let's assume the $50 heater from Amazon, and instead of $3300 you put $3250 in coins!
I'm almost willing to bet, although I know I'm bad at those things that in two years' time the s19xp would have been the losing investment!
well remember the other 7 months the miner goes into the mines with cheaper power. So for me the question is how long can I keep it running. Over 2 years = certain profit. under 2 years = maybe profit.
At the moment I am running 1 L3 in my den as my den is always fucking cold without a space heater.
It is cold in the summer due to ac
It is cold in the winter due to ⅓ of the first floor having a hill which insulates the den and the bedroom on the first floor.
Now if I run the 1 l3+ it make 22.50 a month and save 25 in heat. in a month so 47.50 but costs 70.56 to run I lose 23 bucks.
The l3+ is quiet. it has paid for itself about 5 times over. both in coin and cash.
So If I do a space heater ⅓ of the day the cost is 33.60
either way I lose
23 to mine the LTC/Doge
33.60 to use a space heater 8 hours a day.
So I mine with the L3 and take the 23 dollar loss over the 33 dollar loss.
This absolutely would not work in so many parts of the world
mikeywith = never heats his house.
stompix = electric power is higher than 14 cents
me = works 5 months a year.
with ancient gear the L3+
But I kind of want to use an L7 as I will profit. then put it in the mine in April
