Get an Antminer S9 from Kaboomracks.
These are not profitable to run right now unless you have insanely cheap electricity.
But if you want some non-KYC sats and to learn, an S9 is ehat you want to get started down the mining rabbit hole.

Did the same for a T19…but I live in Europe so that’s a no-go for the moment
Also something I live by: Profitability is subjective. To me, the first KYC free sat I get is profit. The tinkering is profit. The learning is profit. Everyone needs an S9.
Since spinning up a couple s19 j pros no need to DCA on kyc exchange. Profit in my 👀 also learned a bunch.
Plus, you have insurance against spiking fees.
As a user, spiking fees cost you. As a miner, spiking fees pay you. 😉
Yes sir 🤝
Honestly I think this is an underrated feature of home mining. You don’t have to have cheap electricity. Just the ability to turn on the miner in a fee spiking situation.
Yes, and I have been using the heat of 1 miner to heat my 1800 sqft home . Def worth it when you have other use cases for the heat.
My all in electricity cost( generation and delivery) is about 16.5 cents/ kWh not cheap by any standards
Correct.
He’s right. S9 is the entry level miner to start with. Opportunity to learn.
With any luck, one of the boards will be bad and you’ll get to learn how to replace them.
