What does your power cost you?

Is home mining worth it yes absolutely but not the way you think.

A if you need a space heater mining at home works.

If you can afford to pay 500 up front for a one board s19 miner you can set it to do 500 to 800 watts an hour.

Uses 120 to 240 volts.

12 kwatts to 20 kwatts a day.

That comes to 4000 to 7000 kwatts a year

At ten cent cost it is 400 to 700 dollars

So you buy the 1 board s19
500
You
Pay 700 in power

Year one you spent 1200
Year two you spent 700 more total of 1900


How much coin do you have about 0.00000052x30x730= 0.01138 coin

Now today 0.01138 btc is about 1300 usd

So 1300 vs 1900 seems bad.

But you needed a space heater so you have a space heater.

And if btc goes to 200k 0.01138 is over 2276

So the best case for mining at home is if you need a space heater. You can do something like I say.

To think one more thing

The 1900 you spend does not mean 1900 worth of btc now if you buy as it would be

500 up front and 50 a month

So the proper question is will I get more coin by buying 500 now and 50 a month for 24 months or by mining. Now I base all of the above on 10 cent power cost

If you base it on 20 cent power cost you are out 500 + 2800=3300

And frankly if you are 20 cents or more a kwatt  I doubt very much that the small space heater miner is worth doing.
