You're frustrated? Try being the guy that works 70-hour weeks in a 95-degree shop (for what amounts to well under minimum wage) designing and building stuff for people who whine on the internet. Last week I got a full-time helper for manufacturing for the first time ever and I've been building miners for two years now. Only got a helper because my mom lost her job so we're helping each other out.

You want something, go make it. Can't make it? Don't complain. I got more skin in the small-miners game than anyone else in the world has had since 2014 and I'm working as hard as I can to fill that gap. I'll get it when I get it.

I worked as an electronics technician for 20 years, started at age 14 for maybe $3/hour, I've been there. Now I can't see that tiny stuff anymore. SMD is scary, a job for robots. I can see my 24" computer screen but I need lighted binocular magnifiers to solder DIP packages even.

Got the electric bill, shut down my 2 ASICs. Thinking about remounting my solar panels that were mounted on wood until it rotted out. Maybe I could mine a few hours a day on solar.
