If you could buy a “lottery bitcoin miner” would you?

the idea would be to help decentralization of mining/pools by appealing to a new type of hobbiest miner who is in it for the fun/lulz… not aiming for scaling/optimizing a mining business

imagine you could pay $10/month to rent a simple bitcoin miner. Plug it in to an electrical socket at your home, connect it to wifi. maybe have some gaming mechanic related to lotto ticket scratchers, but ultimately you have a very small chance to win something very big — maybe something close to a block reward or more each week

does this sound interesting? maybe it wouldn’t appeal to you, but could you imagine other people who it would appeal to? a lot of people play state lotteries. bitcoin mining has a credibly neutral “random” lottery-like reward

just sayin…
