View submission: Any solo miners use one of these?

Don’t buy this expecting to be profitable. Buy this to further secure the Bitcoin network. If we have millions of individual solo mining, it would make a difference in decentralization. Also, you get a lottery chance to find a block, 3.125 bitcoins

Yeah that was the main reason really. I’m not bothered about trying to make money, if I did, bonus. Was more just about contributing and helping further adoption of things and having a convo starter on display

I heard that simply solo mining doesnt support the decentralization, only in case you would find a block, any thoughts?
