Picked up a 110v modded S19J Pro on eBay. Got it in caked in dust, and a bit rusty.

I wanted to use it in my office exhausting the hot air outside but I hated the look of it being so worn out. I disassembled it completely, deep cleaned, repasted both hashboards and painted all the exterior casing metal satin black. I also wrapped the exposed busbars for better safety. It's running the fans at 36% now instead of 51% and at about 3° Celsius cooler. Going to add wifi next. 42Th/975w

Hey guys so I live in an area that charges 15 cents per kWh. My friend wants to get into lottery mining BCH and we both have bit axes and nerdqaxes but wanted something bigger that is 110v compatible since we don't have a 220v outlet available. We both understand that cheap in this hobby usually means less efficient hardware options or much lower hash rate. We thought about splitting the cost and electricity usage for an $250 S19j Pro 42Th/975w Loki rig. We would split the winnings of a BCH block which sits around $1,400 right now. each month the miner would use roughly $106 of electricity so lets say 6 months at 50% of that bill would come out to $318 for each of us. Strictly speaking of the idea do you think its worth the lottery side of gambling $50 a month towards a $700 pay day? If after a year of not winning anything we would nearly reach the cost of our share of BCH winnings if still valued at $1,400.

Would you solo mine Bitcoin instead or something else? Pool mining at this electric rate is at a loss. this is partly for a fun expirement that would hopefully land us some crypto!
