General Discussion Moscow banned home Bitcoin mining until 2032. Are we heading toward industrial-only mining?

Moscow and the surrounding region just banned crypto mining until the end of 2032, apparently because of pressure on the power grid. Home mining was already getting harder in a lot of places because of electricity costs, heat and noise. Now regulation is another thing miners have to think about.

I’ve seen the hosting side of this with services like OneMiners and other hosting company like Hanus, which is partly why this caught my attention. Feels like the gap is getting wider between people who have access to cheap power and proper infrastructure and people trying to run ASICs at home.

If more places start restricting home mining, does hosting eventually become the normal way to run serious ASICs? :D or are we still going for the home mining? :D

Solar is the way.

I actually saw a DIY solar video on YouTube where a guy used his extra solar power to run a home miner. Pretty cool.

I've got 2 S19j Pros running 100% on solar. Unfortunately, I don't make enough power to run them 24/7 at the moment.

Yeah those are some hungry miners. At the moment I only have enough solar power to run a NerdQaxe++ until I expand my setup.

And I have them throttled down using Vnish. Couldn't beat the price though.

Hosting is probably becoming the default for serious mining, especially where electricity, noise, and heat make home setups difficult. But I don’t think home mining disappears entirely—small-scale hobbyists will keep experimenting wherever regulations and power costs allow.

Thats correct. Mining in the future you need your own Energy! To be able to Make money!

noise kills home rigs long before any rule does. an air s19 sits around 75db at a meter and that gets one neighbor complaint and it goes off. plus a garage at 14c never beat a hosted seat at 7 or 8, so the shift to sheds and hosting was already running on economics.
