People still do this? Didn't think it was really a doable thing anymore
They apparently made $100k, when you’re not paying for electricity everything is profit (and you’d have more incentive to bring in as much power as possible)
If they made $100k, then why would they need to rent an Airbnb, where they only use $1500 in electricity?
Returns on mining are highly luck dependant over the short term. Maybe were lucky
