I think quite a few of bitcoinerd won't mind if it doesn't break even, it's just a way to make mining more decentralized and accessible.

The Apollo miner don't consume a lot of power, the running cost isn't that high, I can just run that off a small solar setup.

If kWh prices don't come down I find it hard to see how can anyone make home mining at least break even unless you happen to live in Russia or Venezuela.

There's just a huge graveyard of companies who have tried to do variations on home mining. I suspect someone will eventually come out with a home immersion miner and that will do well
