A couple of years ago I bought a helium miner. Had to buy an antenna and a cable (which was a separate kind of hurdle since almost nobody here had the kind of cable I needed, and when I'd found it I couldn't find suitable crimps to install connectors on said cable).
When I'd finally installed it all, I'd nearly forgotten about it except for a couple of times, usually around the time when I was changing my ISP. Once I needed to manually install some firmware and it was good that I did because the company I'd bought the miner from seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth afterwards - only a semi-functional website remained of them.
Anyway, yesterday I pulled some helium I had mined on it and it just about covered the initial costs of the installation. But hey, the thing had stopped mining helium and is now mining solana. I have about half the worth of helium I had before converting to BTC - in solana now. Nice!
