... but even at that, I'm not going into heavy iron for mining until BTC rises more, or like Philipma, I get access to some solar...
imo, the only way that thought works out is if you literally can't afford the cost. If you believe the price will rise, then every coin you don't mine between now and then is that much you are shorting yourself and giving to someone else.
Agreed... and I honestly can't afford the cost without a better return... But having said that, although it's still only measured in TH/s instead of PH/s, I
have increased my hashing power 15 fold since this time last year... it is all pointed here, or at the ck.solo pool. I believe in this pool, and the necessity of decentralization... Some of we believers don't have thousands to throw at these beliefs, but we still do the best we can with what we can. I suppose I could sit and wish I started mining 4 or 5 years ago, but I've learned that I can't control the past - only work towards a better future. For me, this pool's a good thing, and I will do my best to remain a part of it and grow as I can afford to... It's all good and getting better every month... I send my thanks to the whole community for getting me here and I want to specifically thank those on this pool/forum who keep me informed and excited about the future... That thanks includes retired IRCX Gods! It's good for me to surround myself with knowledgeable people. Thank you. And as I have said on this forum previously, when it comes to -ck's pools, I'm in for the long run.
With the solar access I have more responsibility for other people.
So I can't point all the hash here. Sucks having partners at times.
I did get a 7th m10 on Monday and I have determined it has a bad board
so instead of it doing 31th it does 20th but the good thing about that is it will stay in my house with m power and my full control for at least a week or two more. so it is pointed here 20th is not much but I will always support this pool one way or the other.
I also checked out the m10 support and put in a ticket.
I found they have spare parts for the m10.

https://pangolinminer.com/product/miner-control-board-shipout-before-3-31/So I will be pointing this 2 board m10 here for quite awhile and I may be ordering spare parts for my 7 m10's
I will also let people know how service is for the dead board.
