Hey everyone, I’m working on my Master’s in IT and I need your input. I made a survey about bitcoin mining to help with my thesis on what influences mining profitability. I really need as many responses as possible to get good data. Here’s the link: https://forms.gle/3iRMNVVGNXcAcv4e7 Thanks a ton!

This is interesting! But like, what kind of questions are in this survey? I mean, how do we know it's legit?

Good point! Always gotta be careful with these things. But I think it’s cool to help out a fellow miner.

Wait, isn’t bitcoin mining kinda dead? I thought profitability was way down...

Not dead, just more competitive. Those factors still matter. We should support this.

So are you just focusing on profitability, or are you looking at other factors too?

Mostly profitability, but also things like energy costs and hardware impacts. It's a whole thing.
