Looks like plagiarism from one or more post with summarization and paragraphing is getting popular.

In a situation like this, there should be a "day zero," which means that Bitcoin should stop being utilized regardless of whether half of the world is still without electricity. When it is restored, it should make up for that moment of failure. By doing this, you can prevent 51% attacks or low-difficulty block mining, which could be disastrous, similar to inadvertently offering a product at a discount in a store. The Bitcoin network would supposedly "mark" a block as a secure reference point on a regular basis. This marked block would serve as a worldwide agreement regarding the chain's current state. in the case of a catastrophic incident, such a 51% attack or a widespread outage.

In a scenario of such magnitude, there should be a "day zero," meaning that regardless of whether half the planet remains without power, Bitcoin should cease to be used, and when it is restored, it should compensate from that point of failure. This way, you avoid 51% attacks or blocks mined at a low difficulty, which would be disastrous—like accidentally putting a product on sale at a low price in a supermarket.

The idea would be that periodically, the Bitcoin network would "mark" a block as a secure reference point. This marked block would act as a global consensus on the state of the chain at that moment. In the event of a catastrophic event (such as a massive blackout or a 51% attack), the network could restart from the last marked block, thus avoiding issues like chain reorganization or mining at an incorrect difficulty.

It might be too late for you to explore mining, in my opinion, depending on a few key variables. In the past, mining was far more lucrative than it is now, when a setup requires a huge hash rate. In contrast to today, mining was feasible back then with a decent GPU and CPU. The expense of purchasing, maintaining, and even using electricity to run the goods is another significant setback. If you live in an area with high electricity costs, you may occasionally lose money or make no profit at all.

I remember when i first heard about BTC then it wasn't really worth much but the funny thing then is that we were busy using 2GO instead of diving deep into blockchain, by now i would have become wealthy not to talk of being rich. But all the same, we are still alive and no one knows tomorrow. I also remember then, they spoke about mining of BTC, are people still mining it and what are the requirements to do that, at least to recover my past ignorance?

If you ask me , I could say depending on some major factors it could be too late for you to venture mining. Mining was much more profitable back in the day and not now when you need an enormous amount of hash rate to run a setup. Back then it was possible to mining with a good GPU and CPU unlike now.

Another big set back is cost of buying , maintenance and even electricity costs for running the wares and sometimes if you are in a region with high electricity costs you could end up in loss or zero profit net.

Additionally, remember that if you are profitable today with Bitcoin at $87500, it does not always guarantee you will be lucrative tomorrow if it collapses to $75000. The same is true if Bitcoin rises; you might not be able to turn a profit today, but if it reaches $120,000, you might be well on your way to financial success. Power is no different. Profits may also be lost if you make the 25% rise from $0.04 kw to $0.05 kw. Cost changes, even little ones, could have a significant impact. Include any additional expenses, such as additional cooling required for the miner's location. Dave

And also keep in mind profitable today with BTC @ $87500 does not mean profitable tomorrow if it drops to $75000. The same thing applies if BTC goes up, you might not be able to make a profit today, but if BTC kits $120000 then you might be well into profit.

Same with power. If you jump from $0.04 kw to $0.05 (yes it's a 25% jump) that could kill profits too.
Even minor fluctuations in cost could hit hard. Add on any other costs such as more cooling needed for the location where you have the miner.

Having a dozen technology devices running constantly in your bedroom can lead to certain health problems. The majority of these issues arise from a lack of airflow in the space or from volatile organic compounds released by dust from melting plastic or burning off hot GPUs. Generally speaking, as long as you maintain your room dust-free and well-ventilated, hosting a small rig in your room is safe, depending on the size of your setup. Dust can obviously become a major problem when a mining rig is operating in your room; after all, it's essentially a dust collector, which can be dangerous if not used correctly. Keeping things dust-free and ensuring adequate airflow are, once more, the key concerns.

Honestly, I never imagined that this kind of exposure could interfere with the human body and potentially lead to illness or health risks. I would really like to understand more about how this might affect the body. What’s the worst that could happen if someone doesn't maintain a safe distance, or someone who never thought about the reason behind his sickness? What kinds of health issues or diseases could it potentially cause?

There are some health-related issues that could arise from having a dozen electronics running 24/7 in the place where you sleep. Most of these problems happen when there's inadequate ventilation in the room, or due to volatile organic compounds emitted from dust burning off hot GPUs or melting plastic.

Depending on the size of your setup, I’d say it's generally safe to host a small rig in your room as long as you keep it dust-free and well-ventilated. Obviously, with a mining rig running in your room, dust can become a serious issue — it’s basically a dust collector, which can be risky if not handled properly. So again, the main points are keeping things dust-free and making sure there's good airflow.

ASICs are a different story. You get the same shit I mentioned above, plus noise pollution. That constant low-frequency hummmmmm from those small fans can really get into your head.

Health warning for fellow miners! I’ve been inactive due to severe fatigue, headaches, and dizziness—turns out my in-room GPU/ASIC mining rigs were the cause. Doctor confirmed heat/emissions exposure risks. Had to relocate my setup—health comes first!

I've been less active on this forum for a while now, thats because I developed some health issues and they don't seem to go away, not knowing that what's causing the constant break down is in my home.

Since 2022 I've been mining Ethereum with some GPUs and when ETH mining stopped I switch to mineable platform and convert whatever I mine back to BTC, the whole set up is over 1GH and a S19 Asic miner that I connect to viabtc, this mining rig was installed in my room and the Asic miner down in a store, basement like room.

I can't put the two together because of higher heat detection.

I started noticing that I became so weak, to wake up in the morning becomes harder for me, I can't lift a big bucket of water like I used to normally, followed by cramps, headaches, nauseous and dizziness here and there, I went to the hospital and the doc recommended that I go through blood tests and so on.

The first question the doc asked me was if I work in a coal factory, my mind went straight to my mining rigs, I had to exposed it all to him, and he prescribed some drugs to me and warned me to stay away from my rigs, after sevarl weeks battling with fatigues and dizzy like feeling I finally start getting better, I had to build another block nearby brick by brick just to make sure I have my room to myself only.

If you are planning on sleeping in the same room as your miners make sure it is very limited, make sure the heat is very minimal, maybe I wouldn't have faced this if I stopped at my first 400MH mining rig. While BTC is your goal always look out for your well-being too.
