It's a computer fan, running hard. I'm sure your laptop fan goes into hyperdrive occasionally. That's basically it.
It's not like a vacuum or anything.

Pretty much. I think my projected share of the next payout is about 90 sats right now.

That actually seems like a lot!

I agree. That's much higher than what I saw as estimated earnings, so there's something I'm missing.

I'm sure it would be cheaper to just buy the sats. I wanted to start mining, because I want to help the network. Any sats I earn are a bonus.
There's also the slight offset to our heating costs, as these things run pretty hot, but that's also going to be pretty trivial.

That is how I tend to look at it. The rewards I got through Fold making the purchase will eventually pay for it and the sats earned will eventually be worth the cost of the electricity.
