1. Are you mining? If no, what is the main reason? I reckon financial issues will be the top factor, but let's see.
2. Are you solo mining or mining using a pool? Please elaborate on what kind of devices you use. Also, in case you use a pool, if you feel comfortable, share which ones you use.
3. Are you mining on your premises or are you using hosting facilities? If you mine on premises, how do you deal with the electricity costs and the noise?
4. (Leave every other note you have here - free text)

1) I used to mine quite a bit. Had many asic miners. I no longer mine BTC. The cost of power at my home is too high based on current difficulty and asic power consumption. The Data Center I used to colocate my equipment in has gone out of business and it seems like most of the DC I have looked at are interested in only making money for themselves. They have adjusted pricing to consume nearly all of the profits.
2) I pool mined BTC, with the coins I mine now I solo mine.
3) I did both depending on the coin, and the profit after power costs. Electricity costs are math. The algorithm is profitable at my power cost or it isn't. My garage housed the equipment fine, and the noise didn't bother me in the house.
