...but you could buy specialized hardware for it
True, but the outlay of cost for the hardware was higher than the value of Bitcoin you would receive.
The power bill is more of a concern. Eventually it'll pay itself back
it has to pay for itself faster than it becomes unprofitale. Which is never, now
I know, not the point
Go for that moonshot bro, your creditors will be happy to wait I'm sure.
Just clarifying the idea. I don't support crime by holding up such networks
In theory if you didn't have heating you could get a cheap used machine and run it and the revenue might cover the cost of heating and you get a free to run space heater.
