View submission: Any solo miners use one of these?
Good way of looking at it guess
Was just scrolling away and went down a rabbit hole of mining and stumbled across these. Just looks a bit of a neat thing to do and have, and reasonably priced

It **IS** a neat thing that helps the network as a whole. We're making a distributed network, running your own mining node helps the whole bitcoin community at the very least. You'll learn a lot along the way too, it's a great weekend project for anyone into bitcoin.

They're only good for novelty. I'd have one sat on my desk running just for the concept.
200$ for a scratch card every 10 minutes is a neat idea. I'd buy that idea for 200$. Even if it nets me zero.
