Best Mining Hardware for Florida
With moderate electricity rates, focus on efficiency and dual-purpose mining:
- Bitcoin Space Heaters: The #1 pick for this rate tier. Mine Bitcoin while heating your home — the heating offset makes them profitable.
- Antminer S21 / S21+: Latest-generation efficiency makes these profitable at moderate rates.
- Bitaxe (all variants): Solo mining at minimal cost. Always worthwhile — you are playing the block reward lottery for pennies a day.
- NerdQAxe / NerdAxe: More hashpower than Bitaxe, still very low power. Great for serious solo miners.
