i really hope i'm able to get back into bitcoin mining someday... i enjoyed it. but my little 15 gigahash isn't even worth turning on right now - even if it is only 72 watts... just a light bulb. (i think. it's a bunch of the USB sticks from ASICMINER.)
got a great electric rate too. oh well.
Same here. For as much as I'm a HODLER, it's just not the same as when you have an actual stake in mining.
The whole "supporting the network" really hits home, when you have a rig, are constantly monitoring it, upgrading CGminer, tweaking push pull fans so they blow a certain way....
Wish we could go back to 2012-early 2013 mining days. When you could go small or big and still have fun doing it.
Nowadays, if you don't have a few terrahash, you're simply not even mining honestly. Just spiking your electric bill for no reason...
and there was a time i dreamed of a terrahash mine... like, you know, two years ago or so...
