Who bought an Antminer that was unprofitable on arrival?

[davemanet]

Hi All, Bitmain takes 3 months to deliver an order. How common is it for an Antminer to arrive unprofitable? I orderee a D3 that doesnt arrive until November. Some people are already worried about it being unprofitable and it's making me concerned. How common is it for thr Antminer to be unprofitable on arrival? Are there any tips to making it profitable somehow? Or just plug it in and hope for the best?

I read that its a good idwa to just get the new batches when they come out when the hash rate is strong. Yet I still see people buying up older devices like the S9.. so they must still be profitable over time right?

That is the problem when you dont have control over the market, at least on the btc scene is good, on xghost no and on ltc soon will be the same as xghost.

it will be profitable, just ROI is nothing like it was.

like the ' old ' antminer S9 and T9, still it will give at least 200/300 USD / month
