Are you a Midcurve Miner?
| Steps | Bitcoin | ORE |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 Purchase a miner | Bitcoin  Bitmain Antminer S23 XP Hydro Bitcoin Miner $16,499 | ORE ORE Virtual Miner SOL 420 Free (Not Needed) |
Step 2 Colocate your miner | Bitcoin $320 per month(includes electricity) | ORE Free (Not Needed) |
Step 3 Mine | Bitcoin Mine solo for 3 months. Earn 0 because your hash rate is a drop in an ocean. | ORE Mine solo with SOL for 3 months. Hit ORE on 60% of blocks. 107% ROI after refining yield. |
Step 4 Educate Self More | Bitcoin Miners use hardware and electricity to race to find a winning hash, a number below the network’s difficulty target. One winner per block | ORE Miners use an autominer to find a winning number on a 5×5 grid. One winner on solo tiles. No limit on the number of winners on split tiles. |
Step 5 Try pool mining instead | Bitcoin Realize three megapools control 64% of the global hashrate which is a huge centralization risk. Pool with one anyway. Earn just $285 a month after all fees. | ORE Keep mining solo successfully. Fees go back into the protocol. No value leak. |
Step 6 Send your coins | Bitcoin Spend $0.20 in fees. Takes 30 minutes. | ORE Pay $0.0005 and takes 150 milliseconds. |
Step 7 Earn Yield | Bitcoin Nope | ORE ~40% on mining, ~12% on staking. Paid via the fees that don’t go to hardware and electricity companies. |
Step 8 Debate | Bitcoin Spend weeks debating how Bitcoin must evolve to deal with 3 megapools dominating hashpower and the fact that unless BTC’s price keeps roughly doubling each halving or a durable fee market emerges, hashrate becomes cheaper to rent or outbid, making 51% attacks and deep reorgs more affordable. | ORE Sleep easy knowing ORE inherits Solana’s security and consensus. |
Step 9 Pray | Bitcoin Pray that Saylor somehow keeps top blasting. | ORE HaWG (ORE’s Treasury) keeps buying no matter what. |
Step 10 Post on X in frustration | Bitcoin
Bitcoin was novel technology that didn’t evolve as necessary. | ORE ORE is the fairest token distribution system ever created and is a Store of Value that actually stores value on the world’s most performant Blockchain. |
Step 11 Get Started | Bitcoin | ORE Get Started |
