Exactly...

What's the best way to do that? Just buy a miner or two from Amazon, join a pool, and start mining?

Sure. Find a reputable seller and go for it. You will want to make sure you have the appropriate power set-up and a well ventilated area where you/your neighbors won't be bothered by the exhaust heat and noise of air cooling. But they are relatively cheap compared to prices a year ago, and it has been a fun learning experience even if you don't make a ton. Happy mining ⛏️

Monero means home mining. Bitcoin means industrial mining. Appreciate what is. There are trade-offs and each project needs to decide what to emphasise. One can not become everything for all that's why there is beauty in this movement as former trade-offs become trade-fors. Both Bitcoin and Monero are important in their own ways.

Hopefully a "ton" is all relative to time preference. I wouldn't be looking to sell anything I mined regardless of how much I mined. Thank you for the zap, good sir. ✌

Bitcoi Ming?

Plebs need to mine off pool with cheap hardware as well. If billions of micro miners are fishing for lotto tickets on the open waters, it can end up incentivizing larger players to do the same.

Kaboom racks are good peeps, better than amazon

Cope, Hope, Broke

Monero is totally irrelevant but nice try.

Oops! BitcoiN MinINg!!! Good catch! 🫂
