Hello
I would like to start mining, and I was considering buying BITMAIN Antminer T9.
Do you think it's good investment? I'm not looking to get rich, just a montly bonus to my salery...
Power cost is 0.08$ kWh in my country
Any advice would be great, thank you
T9 cost = 1,250 USD (plus S&H + customs)
T9 hashrate = 12,5 Th/s
T9 power draw = 1686 Watt
Your electricity rate = 8 cent/Kwu

- the diff changes every 2 weeks (usually, it goes up, but not allways)
- the price BTC fluctuates
- the block reward will halve in a couple of years
- no "extra's" were included in the price (shipping, handling, customs fees, shelves, cooling, network, cabling,...)
- bitmain is known to have "less than perfect" customer support... They have 3 months factory warrantee, and have been suspected of selling used miners, broken miners,... Or simply not honoring their very short warrantee period at all)
