I just toke a look on those threads , this looks like a bad investmet for individuals lol ,the concept sounds easy and profitable but the reality is a whole different story
The problem is the amount of power most miners use. If you have a decent amount it just leads into a decent amount of gear to do solar/wind which means its going to be expensive. I wish it was cheaper I would love it if it was possible for a reasonable price.
But as far as now it's really out of reach vs finding cheap electricity. Maybe one day in the future, but we are not there yet.
Thats sems to be our case here ,finding cheap electricity is far more convenient for now,
I don't think its a for now thing. I think it will remain cheaper for the foreseeable future. The initial cost will always be there, and miners will need more then standard house doing it.
Only way it will change is if big tax benefits that bring price to cheap. I don't see the gear such as battery's in quantity a miner needs going down soon, so tax benefit is main possibility. But even if that happens I think it will be limited to less then miner needs.
