I solo mine to my own node and local instance of public_pool.io running on my Umbrel Home.

With your electricity rate you could dip a toe into the real thing by going with something like the Canaan Avalon Q. Good price point that isn't too loud, produce too much heat and generates a decent amount of hashrate relatively efficiently.

I love seeing everyone's setups. It's early days for me so although I am very much interested in supporting the network, right now my goal is to just accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible. I may jump on a NerdQaxe++ if they run a sale and I feel like some retail therapy, but my hunch is I should just pump all income into BTC, not small-scale hardware.

Which pools do you mine in?
