View submission: Any solo miners use one of these?
They are ‘capable’ of it in a literal sense. It’s just very unlikely. As others have posted, it’s comparable to buying a lottery ticket, which a lot of people do anyway - and this has the additional positive add-on of helping to secure the network. As an investment, these things definitely make no sense, but we shouldn’t knock people for enjoying the technology and doing a bit of light gambling to boot.
Edit: btw, I do actually know someone in real life who won the lottery. It is a real thing that happens even if it’s statistically very unlikely. Again, it doesn’t make lottery tickets a ‘good investment’ but a single lottery ticket is of course ‘capable’ of being a winning ticket, it’s not a literal scam.
There's nothing here!
