That's cool, but in my humble opinion, 100W is a really good sweet spot for home mining.
I totally agree. Moreover, in some cases, it allow to solo mine without worries
But i also consider that more powerful miners, in the 500-1500W range could be more effective in therms of price per TH/s
I have 2 KD-lite asic, with a 900W "low power" mode and 1300W "hashrate" mode. they are great !
Low power is very quiet.
maybe the loki plebs design are the correct way in this range at the end of the day.
Meanwhile Bitaxe is open-source, which creates open access to information / knowledge of how to make your own miner and as such ensures ASIC miner production will not become fully centralized, so ultimately it ensures people will continue to be able to home mine.
I think both are great because they will allow many creative design for various usage
