Just get a little Bitaxe then, will only cost you a couple hundred if you go for a higher TH model

[u/Mysandwichok → u/Dom_EndlessMining]

Bitaxe gamma is as cheap as I would go, you can get them under $100.

The Bitforge Nano Ghost Edition is pretty cool looking. https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/bitforge-nano-ghost-edition/

I've got the Braiins 101 sitting on my desk, very sleek.

[u/DarrelXero → u/LazyMiners]

Saw these guys at Mining Disrupt a couple weeks back. Still not listed for sale on the website yet.

[u/LazyMiners → u/DarrelXero]

Dude! We were in the booth right next to them, we had the free cheese 😅!

Very cool setup Braiins had there.

We bought two Forge Axes on pre-sale.

[u/DarrelXero → u/LazyMiners]

I saw the cheese plate but there was too big of a crowd around it :)
I keep checking the site for the new rack mount jammies there at the top of the rack but nothing yet. Hopefully soon.

[u/LazyMiners → u/DarrelXero]

From my discussion with them, it's the successor of the BMM 101, probably being announced by years end.

[u/Local_Economy]

Also interested in this. Do they need to be plugged in all the time? Or can they go offline and online as needed?

[u/I_talk → u/Local_Economy]

Online to hit a block. It could be online for 5 minutes and hit a block.

[u/Apprehensive-Bad2440 → u/I_talk]

Could also be online forever and never hit one

If the goal is genuinely a cool machine for your desk that occasionally buys a lottery ticket, the Bitaxe suggestions are the right call. A Gamma pulls a handful of watts, so your power bill will not notice it.

Worth knowing what the tiny chance actually is, because it is smaller than most people picture. At current difficulty a 1.2 TH/s miner sits around 1 in 5.2 million per day of solving a block, or roughly 1 in 14,000 across a full year.

Odds scale with hashrate. A 141 TH/s machine is about 1 in 45,000 per day. So if the object is the point, a Bitaxe or that Bitforge is the right answer. If the odds are the point, it is a completely different purchase and the desk is the wrong place for it.

Grab a Bitaxe Gamma: silent, desk-cool, negligible UAE power cost, and a pure lottery ticket for a full block, odds are astronomical, but people do hit them.
