i miss the old comfy 2011 - 2015 days of mining

yeah it depended on the coin for sure

mine was 2011 when lulzsec went apeshit and hacked everything while promoting bitcoin, then i used my laptop and mined on slushpool without having any idea of what the fuck i was doing, continued mining from then until now

it'll always be a problem, but i truly believe home mining will slowly make a comeback as the cost for entry becomes more affordable and tech establishes itself more; i mined from 2012 to now, but i dropped asics at the spondoolies sp20s because of the insane noise, but fortunately there's people starting to create more efficient and affordable asics for home use:

i really do think it's a matter of time until bigger companies take into consideration the current mining problem and aim for home hardware again

>Did you spend your 1000 btc on drugs too?
nope, fortunately not, i also somehow managed to dodge every single hack from mtgox to mintpal and cryptsy, even the bitfinex one, mostly because i was/am a cypherpunk boomer that believes in keeping everything off exchanges and secure

worked in crypto, got paid in btc, mined for years (still do) and pic rel is one of my old 2013 gridseed asics at 10gh/s
