May I ask a question about mining please?
Due to my life situation I think I could spend 1000 usd ((2000 usd MAX)) on anything mining related. I really want to mine! Whick could be a machine I could buy at that price range?
Thanks!

There’s a lot that goes into that as far as what you want to get out of it.
Current gen machines are around $2k right now at the cheapest (like S19j Pros), but they aren’t great for home mining, especially if you’re just getting started.
I would spend about $200ish on an S9 just to get started and tinker around with it and learn about it before seeing if you want to make the leap to get a large scale home miner (would take a lot more cost as far as electricity and infrastructure goes) or if you want to host one somewhere, or maybe you want to just grab a few more S9s after you learn about them and plug them in at home to heat your house or to make a small home operation.
Anything after the S9 is where it starts getting farther away from and harder to mine at home. S9s are great plug and play miners and very cheap right now.
That’s my 2 sats :) Happy to elaborate on anything if you’d like.
Also we have Mining AMAs on Tuesday nights (link in bio) if you ever wanna drop in
I agree S9 is the best stater miner along with braiins OS to fine tune everything. Then you could get an S15/T15 and run MSK firmware if you wanted to step it up a bit more as their pretty cheap at the moment also.
Be warned mining is addictive! I went from getting 1 S9 just to help decentralized Bitcoin a tiny bit to running 3 S19's 1 T15 and 2 S9's space heater's.
Thanks a lot! How many sats per day youre kinda producing at the moment? Just out of curiosity!
If possible, It would be great to know the sats per day for
- System 01 : S9
- System 02 : 3 S19's 1 T15 and 2 S9's space heater's.
I really dont care to be profitable or not, Im just curious! Thanks a lot!
(your photos came in as I was watching this,.. Did you 3dprinted that?
No prob happy to help a fellow pleb turn into a pleb miner.
System 01 is around 1800-2500 SATs
System 02 0.085-0.1 per day depending on pool luck, down time
Yes 3d printed the heater parts their on thingieverse if interested looks better having wires exposed and it a good conversation piece.
