You will be rewarded I'm sure. Love the direct approach to mining yourself. Wish I had more sun where I am, I watched a video about a guy who turned an old mill into a modern-day power source by using the river; too cold and damp for me though.

Good luck to you man!

Off-grid Solar setup for Mining Bitcoin on the cheap

Remember

I am a long term holder. I mine so that I may acquire sats without going to an exchange. My mining rewards are for saving for the future. I do other things to make USD for getting my needs met. It will take quite some time before I will gain back what I invested. It is a long term play.
