72 sats \ 3 replies \ @ville OP 4 May \ parent \ on: What's the use of FOSS solomining (e.g. Bitaxe) when the hash rate is so small? bitcoin_Mining

But isn't that the kind of assumption what early internet creators thought that all of the world would run servers in their homes, and have their own domains and so on? It didn't really pan out like that.

internet [..] It didn't really pan out like that

I'd say not right now, no, but I expect that it'll ebb and flow just like urbanization/suburbanization does. The internet is still young too. And PS, I run servers, I own domains, I do a lot of p2p and local stuff. Don't think in absolutes, think in pressures and counterpressures on the delta between the absolutes.

Best that can happen right now is having 5-10 million BitAxes in homes.
