Itโ€™s all about efficiency. The newer s19xp is more efficient than the s19. The s19 is way more efficient than the s9. The more efficient the miner is, the pricier it is.

On the other hand an s9 is super sturdy and the replacement pieces are easy to find. Very easy to repair.

Really depends on your budget too

This is helpful, thank you!

Unfortunately seems like every option will land in the negative without hosting.

But maybe thatโ€™s the โ€œpremiumโ€ for kyc-free sats mined at home ๐Ÿ˜‚

just an FYI, the S9 is not profitable and barely produces any sats. i only use them to heat my house in the winter or at random times during the warmer months if my basement is too cold.

that doesn't mean that it's not worth it to buy one for $150 to learn and play around though. use it to figure out how to manage sound and heat and see if you want to get into something a bit more cost effective and also pricier.

Exactly what I did. Got an s9 first to familiarize myself, to find out how to reduce the sound to a maximum. Then sold it and moved on to something more efficient

Appreciate the feedback ๐Ÿซ‚

Glad I could help
