yeah buy a tv with a miner built in to it at a premium it then pays you back somewhat like an exotic rebate.
or buy a tv without a miner it is cheaper but never pays back.
say 1000 and earn 10 a month
or 800 and earn 0
it is a 20 month roi.
Still creates mainstream.
Get a cable box with a miner
get a cable box with out a miner.
ideas like this would be possible.
I think it would likely look more like 1000 and earn $0.10 a year and use an extra $50 a year in electricity
or 800 and earn 0
so after 24 months you have a $1099.80 TV.
An appliance miner is never going to compete with high density mining farms, we already have CPU's but no one use's them to mine to "reduce" its capital cost's.
