I live in a very humid area and there is nothing I can do about humidity for my miners. However, I think S9s are protected against corrosion, as the only rusty parts on my miners are the grates for the fans.
I think you will be ok

Are you trying to Mine Bitcoin with GPUs? If so, don't. Mine altcoins.

I'd say that it isn't too late, but it's really up to you
|

I'd say put the majority of your money into ASIC miners but build a few GPU miners, if only for the experience and the possibility that they will be a lot better in the future

My cooling is basically a big box fan. If the box fan were to malfunction or trip, my room would overheat quickly and my miners will overheat too. I know the miners have overheat protection but is that good enough?
Does the antminer switches itself off completely when that happens or goes into some standby mode where it is still turned on?
I would hope it turns itself off completely as I might not realize it for hours...
So, do u guys install an electrical device (a contactor or something) to switch off the power if the box fan were to fail?
A fail-safe as u could say.
A surge protection device is necessary in case of lightning strikes.
Is there anything else to install?
The miner will automatically stop mining, and hopefully, your fan would be reliable to where this wouldn't be an issue. There would be no point in putting a fail-safe. You should definitely install a surge protector. |

Yeah, It's a scam. Don't buy it  |

What is the best device for btc mining . also profitable
The Antminer S9 is basically the only one worth buying |
|

Is your pool showing low hashrates? If your pool says that is it getting 13 or 14 TH/s, then it doesn't matter what your Antminer says its getting.

Currently, I have 4, and all together they are less profitable than a single S9. But, with the upcoming Bitcoin Gold, they might become a lot more profitable, but there is no way to tell yet.
Oh yeah and for 1, you would make probably somewhere around less than $100 USD per month depending on what cards you use.

This sounds like a massive scam to me. Also, this probably belongs in the altcoins section
|

That is the goal of Bitcoin Gold. They want to make it ASIC proof so that only GPUs can Mine it. I definitely will try it out when it comes out.

From what I hear it's virtually impossible to mine profitably any more (unless you have access to free electricity).
This is not true at all. I am getting multiple hundreds of dollars off of a single Antminer alone with $.1 electricity cost. What are the processes of bitcoin mining? What are the tools needed?
You should get an Antminer S9. If you need help setting it up, you can check my blog  |

P.S. I do not recommend newbie to jump into mining. This is game for big investors.
I disagree. I think newbies should definitely try mining but start small with 1 Antminer. I can see your point, but you could put it in a garage and not worry about it. I would love to disagree with myself as well (I'm also supporter of: more miners = better decentralization = safer network). But I have seen so many newbies invested in this and then being surprised "how come my miner is making half of what did few weeks ago" etc. My point was: do some investigation first. Calculate possible profits, estimate ROI time, evaluate risks ... and based on this decide whether it's worth it (rather than just jump in) I agree with that. New people definitely need to do research. When I started, I had no experience but I did do plenty of research. I misunderstood your original question. |

try other software free online although i cant trust any of those
cause we dont know whats on the code
but the more good thing to do is to hire or ask your family or brother to check it once in a while
I think you can trust things like claymore, as it is used by thousands of people, and I think you can view the code. Also, you can use your pool to check on it. most pools have a monitoring feature. |

I highly doubt that that would make you any money, as it just isn't powerful enough. The only way to reliably mine bitcoin is with an Antminer or a custom built computer. Also, most cloud mining services are a scam, FYI.

Almost everybody here mines Bitcoin. I mine Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and LBRY.
Bitcoin is probably the most profitable. If you want to mine, you should pick up an Antminer

please let me know how to mine
Buy an Antminer S9. Do more research |

Antminer D3 in stock 4560$
pre order november 2400$
L3+ in stock 3820$
pre order october 3430$
That is way overpriced. It would be better just to wait for Bitmain to get more stock. Although it would take longer, it would not take nearly as long to pay itself off |
