For the first few months, you'll basically have all of your Sia drained as your contracts start coming in and your host wallet gives them collateral. But yeah, my contracts only recently started to complete, and I've got the amount of Sia I started with at the very least.
So... Yes, but probably not very much? Particularly when accounting for the price drop in Sia.
Edit: If you do decide to host, it'll likely be about 5-6 months before your contracts start completing if your host settings go by the recommended 26 week max duration. And don't go out buying hardware unless you're in it for the long run, which makes me now realize the point of this article.
- aschatten 7y agoCan you share more info on cost breakdown and earnings? Also, how expensive is electricity in your area?
- prophesi 7y agoI wouldn't try hosting on Sia if you're trying to make a profit. I spent 20USD on Sia currency. And I didn't go out and purchase a RPi + harddrive for it. You likely wouldn't make a profit if you did. RPi's are great for costing next to nothing in electricity, though.
