Can always get more hash with S19 and other miners, but would require a 220V outlet…and can get pretty noisy lol. Always way more expensive.
S9 is the best place to start and learn in my opinion!

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl.
Are you solo mining or pool mining?
When people say they earn "about $1.50/day in sats" what do they mean? How is that paid? Is that paid daily by a pool? If you're solo mining, aren't you just "lottery mining" and hoping to hit a block (with no payouts)?

You can do either! But with my small hash rate w S9’s decided to join a pool. My chances of winning the lottery would be about 1 in 50 million lol.
There are multiple pools you can try, but the nice thing is you typically get steady payouts based on your hash rate. There are multiple ways pools do this that you can check out, but essentially it’s a small steady stream throughout the day.
When you configure your miner, there is a place to copy and paste the URL of the mining pool you would like to join and you can creat a name for your miner, which you can then search and link to on the pool website/app to start collecting sats. From there, you can withdraw to a wallet!
I’ve tried several different pools, but I’m currently in via BTC which I’ve liked so far. Here is an example of what the app looks like. 
I recommend joining a pool with an FPPS (full pay per share) payout structure that also has a low free withdrawal threshold. There are all sorts of different options with different benefits. I like Lincoin pool because they have low withdrawal threshold, paynym payouts, and very nice calculators and tools built into the mobile app. Braiins pool would forgo pool fees if you are using their firmware but they have a slightly higher withdrawal threshold. If you wanted to gamble you could point hash at kano pool (only if you are running 24/7) or use the kano pool solo option.
