How profitable can a $499 BTC Bitcoin miner actually be in 2023?

Wondering how profitable BTC mining is in 2023?

Perhaps Vosk can shed some light on the subject!

ASIC miners are application specific integrated circuit machines designed for a sole purpose, to mine crypto currencies! Normally they consume tons of electricity and generate lots of heat but these mini asic miners are designed to be lighter , quieter and consuming far less energy to function. With that comes a trade-off! With a much smaller miner one would expect a more "science fair" profit margin which might exacerbate any short term ROI.

My first mini asic was a Gridseed Orb! They sold for about €30 in Crypto lol oh those were the days! Setup to dual mime Bitcoin BTC & LTC litecoin, these tiny gadgets actually worked well enough for me to be able to calculate what was needed for the next step!

Hmm, wonder what the next step was?

Artificial intelligence is worse than humans in every way at summarising documents and might actually create additional work for people, a government trial of the technology has found. Amazon conducted the test earlier this year for Australia’s corporate regulator the Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) using submissions made to an inquiry. The outcome of the trial was revealed in an answer to a questions on notice at the Senate select committee on adopting artificial intelligence. The test involved testing generative AI models before selecting one to ingest five submissions from a parliamentary inquiry into audit and consultancy firms. The most promising model, Meta’s open source model Llama2-70B, was prompted to summarise the submissions with a focus on ASIC mentions, recommendations, references to more regulation, and to include the page references and context. Ten ASIC staff, of varying levels of seniority, were also given the same task with similar prompts. Then, a group of reviewers blindly assessed the summaries produced by both humans and AI for coherency, length, ASIC references, regulation references and for identifying recommendations. They were unaware that this exercise involved AI at all. These reviewers overwhelmingly found that the human summaries beat out their AI competitors on every criteria and on every submission, scoring an 81% on an internal rubric compared with the machine’s 47%.  Human summaries ran up the score by significantly outperforming on identifying references to ASIC documents in the long document, a type of task that the report notes is a “notoriously hard task” for this type of AI. But humans still beat the technology across the board. Reviewers told the report’s authors that AI summaries often missed emphasis, nuance and context; included incorrect information or missed relevant information; and sometimes focused on auxiliary points or introduced irrelevant information. Three of the five reviewers said they guessed that they were reviewing AI content. The reviewers’ overall feedback was that they felt AI summaries may be counterproductive and create further work because of the need to fact-check and refer to original submissions which communicated the message better and more concisely.

What Is Pool Mining & How It Works?

Cryptocurrency investment is a trend that will stay for a long time. Crypto enthusiasts will continue to find different ways to invest their funds in the cryptocurrency field. But the high cost of buying a mining tool is still a factor that stops many investors to invest in cryptocurrency.

The cost of mining can be reduced by choosing the option of Pool Mining. This option divides the total cost into several miners and the rewards are offered to the miners. In this blog, we will cover everything related to Pool mining and how it works with advantages and disadvantages.

What is pool mining?

Before discussing more on pool mining, let us know the term. Pool mining is a network of different miners working together to decrease the cost of mining a block. This option is more affordable than the option to mine on your own.

In the option of pool mining, the different miners bring their computational power to mine crypto coins. This is one of the best options for new investors who have limited funds.

How does pool mining work?

Now, let us discuss how pool mining works. In this system, the different participants of mining come together and combine their computational power to mine a block. If they can mine a block, the rewards are offered to every miner in the form of a new coin.

These rewards are then divided among every miner who offers his computational power. Some miners have to present proof of work to gain rewards.

There are 2 types of cryptocurrency mining for miners. One can either do mining on his own or join a pool mining network. The miners can combine all their devices to get higher output and a better hash rate. Now, let us have a look at all the methods of mining poolsin detail:

1. Peer-to-peer mining pool

This option stops the pool structure from becoming going into the hands of a centralized authority. These mining pools reduce the fraudulent practices from the side of miners and prevent the pool from failing due to central issues.

2. Pay-per-share pool

Another option for pool mining is the pay-per-share pool. In this mining system, every miner gets a reward for his contribution. Miners will receive instant payouts even if the block is found later. In this pool mining method, the miner exchanges the shares as a payout anytime.

3. Proportional mining pool

The third method on this list is a proportional mining pool. It is a very common method of pool mining wherein miners offer their pool’s processing power until the pool finds a block. After mining the block, the miners will get the rewards according to the number of shares they are holding.

How Much Can You Earn From Pool Mining?

If the miner gets successfully mining of a block, he will get around 6.25 bitcoins in the form of rewards. This amount is divided into half every 4 years or 210,000 blocks.

Advantages of pool mining

The option of pool mining is getting very popular among young investors because of its low cost and high rewards. Apart from that, the method also offers various other benefits such as:

·       High rate of success

A high success rate is one of the major reasons why investors choose the pool mining option. The miners have to buy the Crypto Mining Machine and contribute their computational power to the mining process. It involves a high rate of success as many miners come together to mine a block. On the other, the solo mining method involves a risk of a low rate of success.

·       Affordable method of mining

The option of pool mining is better than solo mining. It is an affordable way to mine a block by combining computational power. Apart from that, the method also consumes low power and gives more rewards to every miner. Even the cost of electricity is divided among the miners and this method puts fewer burdens on every miner.

·       Saves electricity

Another benefit of pool mining is that it saves electricity and offers higher rewards than other methods of mining pools. You can huge savings by choosing an option of mining pool every month. It also helps to divide the cost of electricity among the different miners.

·       Boosts the chances of profitability

Miners with crypto mining software generally choose the option of mining pool these days. This option increases the possibility of earning rewards every year. Miners with limited capital can get high profits by choosing the option of the mining pool.

·       Trains the young investors

Miners with GPU Mining equipment can join the mining pool network anytime. This option is good for novices who do not know about cryptocurrency mining. The mining pool will give experience to the new investors on how to mine blocks and new crypto coins.

Disadvantages of pool mining

The pool mining method also has some disadvantages such as:

Miners do not get ownership like solo mining in the option of pool mining.

Miners have to act according to certain terms and conditions before joining a mining pool.

Rewards are divided into many miners. So, every miner will get limited rewards even by investing a huge amount in buying the crypto mining machine.

Share of profit is lower than the solo mining.

Some mining pools dominate the whole process of crypto mining.

There is no centralized authority to govern the working of a mining pool. A decentralized system might involve some risks and fraudulent practices.

Final words

This is all about the Pool mining method, its benefits, and disadvantages. It is a safe and profitable option for miners who have CPU Mining tools and want to earn rewards from the Bitcoin mining process.

The option of pool mining might include some drawbacks but it gives many benefits as well. You can find many mining pools online these days on which it is easy to start an account and trade in Bitcoin.

Kuroken AU where Kuroo looks through Kenma's tablet notes app for some passwords Kenma told him would be there. He finds what he needs but scrolling through the notes he finds something else. He finds a note, last updated three weeks ago and titled "Kuro" and nothing else.

It's a list and a pretty long one at that. It goes like this:

Favorite Soup: Miso because he's boring, but sometimes he prefers it with clam or fish balls because he likes his docosahexaenoic acid

Favorite Suit Fabric: Worsted wool, because he likes how comfortable it is, but many of his current ones are a polyester blend for less wrinkles. I prefer him in silk though

Favorite Tie: Standard sized with basic patterns like stripes or polka dots because he "needs to be professional but not too much that he loses personality." Buy him novelty ties sparingly or he'll be tempted to wear the tackiest ones everyday like a high school science teacher

Favorite color: Red and blue in equal amounts since that's what makes up half his clothes in our closet. I don't think he's noticed yet. Black is my favorite color on him, especially when it's form fitting

Favorite Dessert: Dorayaki, but he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth because he's an old man that likes salty foods more

Favorite Onigiri Filling: Umeboshi because it reminds him of his grandparents

Favorite Vending Machine Drink: Chilled green tea because it's not sweet for his old man taste buds

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Vanilla like his sex fantasies and claims it's a good base to add toppings, though he only ever adds sprinkles

Favorite Shampoo Scent: He likes green apple because he says it's a fresh scent, but we both know it's because I've been using green apple shampoo all my life and still do, and he's too lazy to buy his own shampoo now that he lives with me

Favorite Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener Brands: 'Attack' because that's what his dad uses and 'FaFa' because he finds the brand bear mascot cute

Favorite Alcoholic Beverage: Whiskey on the rocks and calls it his big boy drink. He also likes warm shochu in the winter

Favorite Sports Shoe Brand: ASICS, he likes to have a white pair to coordinate with his suits when he needs to be on the court on business. He keeps separate black ones for his sport activities so the business ones stay clean longer

Favorite Flower: Camellia, since he brings them to me all the time. I asked the gardener to plant some in the back garden, so he can have a supply closer to home

Favorite Type of Fish: Mackerel because it's affordable and high in nutrients

Coffee or Tea? He prefers hot teas without any sugar, but his coffee must be black if he drinks it, because he's boring and a tired salaryman. DO NOT give him espresso though, he can't handle it and also do not offer creamers or sugars because he claims it's for the youths

Things He Needs:

New socks, I saw some holes on his work socks the other day

New cologne, because he's running out and I like him smelling nice

More shaving cream and razors since he doesn't like how scratchy his skin feels, even though I like it

A new dress shirt since I accidentally spilled sauce on one of his favorite ones when I wore it and I couldn't clean the stain off

More hoodies so I can steal his old ones permanently

New volleyball equipment for the backyard so he can practice at home

New ties because all my tugging him down for kisses ruined the fabric of many of the ones he currently has

A new bento box for his lunch since he's still using the one from university

iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad because he needs to upgrade and get with the times

A copy of Pokemon Pearl so I can trade exclusives easier and also so I can beat his ass in battle

New slippers since the cats peed on his current ones while he was at work and I don't think he's caught on yet

A gaming chair so he can join me in streams and videos easier

Things He Likes (and I like):

Grocery store dates

When I win him stuffed animals at festivals

When I make him lunch for work

When I wear his shirts and nothing else

When I kiss him on the forehead before he heads off to work

Hugging him close at night when he's had a bad day

Holding my hand or having his arm over my shoulders when we're walking

When I leave the door unlocked when I'm in the shower

When I let him sleep on my lap while I play my games

Kuroo scrolled through the rest of Kenma's notes about him, it was full of things he liked and how he liked them and things he needed and why. And despite the teasing commentary in some, Kuroo couldn't help but feel loved.

They were all observations, things Kuroo hadn't even noticed about himself; and they were quiet, detailed and sometimes snarky, typical of Kenma. He reached the end of the very very long list to what must've been the newest update from three weeks ago.

It read: Ring Size - 67 mm in circumference, I'll need to ask what size that is for rings at the jewelers.

Kuroo wanted to kiss him. And he did when Kenma got home later that day from the errand he had to run that afternoon.

Kenma barely leaves the genkan before Kuroo has him in his arms, kissing him fervently "What's gotten into you?" Kenma asks, a little dazed and a couple inches off the floor for optimal kissing distance.

Kuroo lowers Kenma down, but doesn't let go "I'm just so in love with you."

Kenma looks up at him, admiration very evident, "I love you too."

It's a quiet night for them, Kuroo finds himself with his head on Kenma's lap as they watch the latest volleyball ball match of the season. Kuroo comments on a failed play and how it would've been better if they'd done it another way.

"Easily the worst play this game, right Kenma?" Silence. "Kenma?" Kuroo looks up at Kenma, expecting him to be on his phone, but instead he's looking down at him, eyes smiling, but a hint of nervousness, a hint of shyness not typical of Kenma.

At least not when it comes to Kuroo. Kuroo reaches up to caress Kenma's cheek, "Everything alright?"

Kenma brings his hand over Kuroo's, "I'm just so in love with you."

Kuroo snorts "That's my line"

"Can it be my line too?"

"You can have anything you want," Kuroo whispers as he turns his hand to hold Kenma's instead.

"Can I have your hand then?" Kenma says threading his fingers with Kuroo's.

"You're holding it?"

Kenma scrunches his nose "Wrong hand."

Kuroo raises his other one, "This one?"

Kenma rolls his eyes, digging through his hoodie pocket "Not the right hand either." He takes out a ring, a simple platinum band with small neat stones around it, "This hand."

Kuroo looks from the ring in Kenma's hand to his face and back to the ring. "Ring Size: 67 mm in circumference. I'll need to ask what size that is for rings at the jewelers" the last update on Kenma's list had said.

"Tetsurou, will you marry me?"

Kuroo answers by leaning up and kissing the love of his life.

Kenma responds quickly, dragging and rearranging Kuroo on top of him, game forgotten as they remained liplocked for the rest of the evening.

"So is that a yes?" Kenma asks coyly as he draws shapes on Kuroo's chest.

They might've done more than kiss on their couch if their pants on the carpet were any indication of that. Kuroo rubs his chin, pretending to think, "I think it's only fair to elope now that you've deflowered me"

Kenma scowls pinching Kuroo's nipple making him yelp in pain, "I change my mind. I don't want your hand in marriage."

"No take backs," Kuroo pinches Kenma's ass in revenge. "Besides I found the list that proves you love me" he teases

"What list?"

"The one on your tablet in your notes where you list all my favorite things"

"You found that??"

"Yeah, this morning when I was looking for those passwords you told me were there"

"Oh" Kenma says, face red trying to cover it with his hair, "Well, you have a list of me too"

Kuroo tucks Kenma's hair behind his ear so he can see his face again, "Yeah, I do" he looks at him with fond eyes, "I'm just so in love with you."

Kenma smiles, fondness and admiration evident as he looks at Kuroo, "I'm just so in love with you too," he says as he leans down to kiss Kuroo once more as tenderly as he feels for the love of his life.

They spend the rest of their night in each other's arms, ring long forgotten, until the next morning when they find it between the cushions.

Kuroo finally says Yes when Kenma asks again for his hand in marriage over breakfast, slipping the ring on his finger, 67 mm in circumference.

Sega Mega Drive - Hellfire

Title: Hellfire / ヘルファイアー

Developer/Publisher: Toaplan / NCS Masaya

Release date: 28 September 1990

Catalogue No.: T-25073

Genre: Horizontal Shooting

When I was a 13-year-old teenager I thought Hellfire was a load of crap. My mind was boggled as to why magazines such as Mean Machines (British magazine) gave the game such high praise in 1990 when I read them in the local high school library. 10 years later I buy the game again and have to say it’s bloody fantastic! The music seems to run a lot slower than I remember for some reason but that doesn’t affect the gameplay. Graphically it still looks pretty good with its big sprites and loads on screen. Slowdown is only present at the busiest of times and even then, it’s minimal. One of the main playability points of Hellfire is the weapon system. Your ship is equipped with a 4-way switchable system enabling you to fire ahead, behind, above & below, and in a 4-way diagonal pattern. The slight downside is that you have to shuffle through each weapon type until you find the one you want. However, I find that while this can be a pain in the arse at times it also adds to the style of the playability making things a lot more “on the edge” if you will.

There’s no denying that Hellfire is a hard game. It’s one of those games that seem like a doodle until you lose all of your power-ups. This is one of the game's down points, but Hellfire is being well…. Hellfire, you’ll want to try and gain back your power-ups to see what marvels await you in the next level.

A classic shooter guaranteed to keep the real shooting fan happy but maybe a little too tough for the novice player.

NOTE: The music in the game runs too slow on Mega Drive 2 consoles with the VA4 motherboard. Why is that? These models integrate the sound chip with other system components (including the CPUs and VDP) onto a custom ASIC. Earlier board revisions with a discrete Yamaha YM2612 sound chip are unaffected. This is caused by differences in timing between the discrete and the integrated versions of the chip.

What Equipment to Use for Mining Bitcoin Profitably After the Halving?

In April 2024, the next Bitcoin halving took place. The reward for mining one block was reduced by 50% and is now 3.125 BTC. Due to this, some may begin to doubt mining — will this activity continue to bring in a decent income? Based on our extensive experience, we can confidently say that mining can and should remain profitable even after the halving. In this article, we will discuss how to organize Bitcoin mining most rationally and what equipment to choose for this.

Bitcoin Price Will Definitely Rise After the Halving

Since the launch of the first cryptocurrency, its halving has occurred approximately every four years. In 2024, this happened for the fifth time. Throughout all these years, the price of BTC, its market capitalization, and audience have steadily increased. The popularity of mining is also growing, and new technologies are being developed to increase its efficiency.

The person or team behind Bitcoin came up with halving to control inflation and maintain demand for the coin. Halving benefits Bitcoin and in no way deprives miners of their well-deserved reward. The rarer the asset, the higher its value — this rule works after each halving. That’s why starting mining right now is an excellent idea.

Three Secrets to Keep Mining Profitable

To make money mining BTC after its halving in 2024, you need to:

Buy or rent the latest generation equipment

Reduce expenses

Find a reliable hosting provider

Let’s take a closer look at all these points.

Today, one of the best ASICs for mining Bitcoin is the Antminer 21 series. It stands out for its high hashing power combined with relatively modest energy consumption. The Antminer 21 significantly outperforms miners of previous generations. The manufacturer of this series, Bitmain, is one of the most well-known in the industry. This is a reliable brand with a very strong team, extremely popular among crypto professionals.

To increase revenue, you can purchase multiple devices and combine them into a mining farm. However, this may require too high initial costs. Additionally, you will need to find a place to host the equipment. It not only consumes a lot of energy but also makes a lot of noise. To reduce the noise level, you can buy ASICs with a water cooling system — but they are more expensive than regular ones.

To cut costs, you can rent a miner instead of buying it. Remote providers can afford the most modern ASICs. You will be able to choose one or several machines with suitable characteristics. The provider will take care of the installation, maintenance, and repair of the equipment. Their staff has all the necessary knowledge and skills. Your involvement in mining will be minimal, and you will be able to receive truly passive income.

Another option is to try cloud mining, a more modern and accessible alternative. You will be renting not an ASIC but hashing power. First, you will purchase a contract on the most comfortable terms for you. After that, your task will be reduced to regularly transferring the commission to the provider — and they will take care of everything else. You will start receiving income on the rise in the price of Bitcoin. If you want to increase your profits, you can buy multiple contracts.

Each halving forces mining providers to rethink their strategies and optimize their activities. Some of those who cannot cope with these tasks close down. That’s why it’s important to check the provider’s history — the longer they have been in business, the better.

The second important parameter is customer reviews. It’s not a problem if some of them are negative — the main thing is that the majority are positive. The contract terms of a good provider are detailed and transparent. The support service is polite, informed, and responds promptly to customer inquiries.

ECOS meets all the criteria of a first-class provider for remote mining. This company is located in the free economic zone of Armenia, where cryptocurrencies are legal, and miners are exempt from taxes for 25 years. The Razdan power plant provides stable access to cheap energy. The security of the territory where the equipment is located is guaranteed by armed guards. The equipment downtime is close to zero. If an ASIC breaks down, it will be promptly repaired on-site, without wasting time sending it to the manufacturer’s service center.

ECOS clients can choose a cloud mining contract from existing options or create their own, individual one. The selection of equipment rental or purchase options is also very large. Clients appreciate ECOS for its transparent terms, reasonable prices, and quality service. This is an ideal provider for beginner miners who are just taking their first steps in the industry. Experienced miners note the exceptional reliability of ECOS, honesty, and timely payment of rewards.

ECOS Client Case

To confirm the above theory, let’s consider a real case of one of the ECOS clients. Let’s denote him by the nickname anto******duate.org.

Immediately after the previous halving in 2020, he bought an Antminer T17 for $699. The hashing speed of this miner was 38 terahashes per second. Four years ago, this model was considered advanced, one of the best on the market.

From November 25, 2020, to November 1, 2021, anto******duate.org earned 0.08026213 BTC with his Antminer T17, which in fiat currency amounted to $5,327. Hosting and miner maintenance costs were only $1,080. The client received a net profit of $3,548. Mining turned out to be a more profitable activity for him than buying bitcoins. If he had bought bitcoins, his profit would have been only $2,900.

To estimate your upcoming expenses and profits, you can use the calculator on the ECOS website. We hope that with the help of this tool, you will see that mining BTC can still be profitable even after the halving!
