A $50 #BITCOIN MINER COULD WIN A BLOCK… IN ABOUT 16.2 BILLION YEARS ‼️

The BlockChance Bitcoin Ticket Super Miner is marketed as a tiny desk miner that submits legitimate hashes to the Bitcoin network, giving owners a real but astronomically small chance of finding a Bitcoin block.

It costs about $50 on sale and produces roughly 1,060 KH/s, or about 1 MH/s.

That sounds fun, but here is the reality check:
At Bitcoin’s current difficulty of about 126.23 trillion, a 1.06 MH/s miner would have an expected solo-mining wait time of roughly 16.2 billion years.

In other words 👉 This is a Bitcoin lottery ticket, but it is still a fascinating reminder of what makes Bitcoin unique.

Every 10 minutes, industrial mining farms, public companies, and tiny desk gadgets are all competing under the same proof-of-work rules.

Bitcoin mining is industrial at scale, but participation is still open to anyone. 🚀
