    bitcoin mining hasn’t been profitable for a long time. Like, a decade or so.

        True, but the outlay of cost for the hardware was higher than the value of Bitcoin you would receive.

          The power bill is more of a concern. Eventually it’ll pay itself back

            it has to pay for itself faster than it becomes unprofitale. Which is never, now

              Just clarifying the idea. I don’t support crime by holding up such networks

          In theory if you didn’t have heating you could get a cheap used machine and run it and the revenue might cover the cost of heating and you get a free to run space heater.
