Wish I could buy one of these but as a poor university student I definitely can't. My tuition of $4,800 could definitely buy some mining power.. Lol
If you live in a dorm with "FREE" electricity, you might be able to work a deal with someone. You host their miners and you get a cut of the earnings.
That'd be a good idea.. wish I knew someone, lol!
I'd host it for free even, I don't care!
I actually have some miners hosted in different households. I pay them in BTC for the power cost at the end of each month based on the prevailing exchange rate then. I got them involved in BTC at least; so I guess that's good. Of course, I have to set up everything for them including a secure wallet for the BTC that I pay them.
