Hello all
So today I came across this ad
Bitmain Bitcoin Mining Unit ASIC Antminer S1 180-200GH 360-400W for $120 and it got me thinking.
I've got an old power supply lying around, and I could fire this thing up in my office where electricity is included in rent. My entire startup cost would be the price of the mining unit. Now before I go through with this, I have a few questions:
Is this a good price for this kind of unit?
How much bandwidth would this thing use per month? I think I have like 60 GB/month or something, would I have to change my plan?
The "million-dollar" question: would setting one of these up with 0 electricity costs be profitable, or at least earn me some kind of return in BTC over a few months?
I appreciate any and all feedback.
You are better off buying antminer S3 because it is giving higher hash rate and less heat. Although you have free electricity but still S3 please
