Title: Is it worth it to get a few S9's Post by: cryptocr on May 08, 2017, 12:54:21 PM Hi guys,
I currently mine with 8 GPu rigs + an L3+ and I was thinking of getting a 1 or 2 S9's to diversify my mining. Are the plans for bigger Bitcoin miners soon? I don't see much info on new miner models. The current S9' say they pull 13.5 Th/s https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201705050303510320V3822n605DE What are your thoughts? Now that the price is up the S9's seem cheaper :) CHeers!

A7 could be another option, although less efficient.
If I were you, I would have spent my money on getting 3 to 4 more high-end GPU's (to intensify the GPU farm that you already have) and just mine altcoins (but that's just me).

It is just my suggestion,the choice is yours. :)

Yes the only reason I don't want to reinvest in GPU miningis due to the POS from Ethereum and the AMD vega coming out this Q2. This is kinda the reason why I wanted to reinvest in mining but in BTC to diversify the mining income. I personally love the idea of getting monthly passive income :) thank you guys for the info! |
