I have a home miner, an Apollo II. Is it profitable? Eh at 100k I probably just break even maybe less.

But I've learned a lot using it, and I'm glad I bought it.

Having said that, we have as a community focused so much on 'self custody' (that still not enough people do) only to seriously forgo the conversation about mining and 'transaction selecting'.

There are still very few examples of 'censorship' in the wild today (maybe a dozen a year, a few dozen at max?) but if Bitcoin ever becomes a global geo-political asset for countries this will start to be a BIG issue.
