With the release of M1, is bitcoin mining more profitable?

[ruslan120]

Or based on the question, is my knowledge* of bitcoin obvious?

Thanks in advance!
* or lack thereof

I don’t understand, you intend on mining BTC on M1 devices?

Whenever this pyramid scheme is getting pumped by crooks all these shills come out of the woodwork like lice.

You are not going to want to mine bitcoin on the M1, end of story.

Thinking about it. Bought a Mac Mini to play around with. Hoping to try it out.

Are there any apps one can compile from source to run it natively?

Totally not worth trying to mine Bitcoin on a CPU or GPU at this point. You're up against custom silicon that can hash faster than anything programmable.

Did you figure something out, so far ?

No, agreed that it’s not worth it since the M1 would be competing with ASICs and most likely end up consuming more power than desired (plus other uses for M1 than Bitcoin).

No. And buying bitcoin has always been more profitable than buying dedicated mining hardware.
