Hi, I am new to Bitcoin mining. Someone offered to sell me some Antminer T17e's and S17e's for a good price. I have read that the 17 series have a lot of quality problems. I am familiar with PC repair and can give a go at fixing and running these machines.
Can anyone advise whether these specific models (T17e, S17e) have the same problems and whether they are worth buying?
Hi,
1) Good electricity price
2) Asics are very loud
3) Asics are making heat
4) Asics need non dusty space
5) Asics need good air coinditioning space or good air fluctuation
6) Be lucky because this higher hashrate antminers are very bad quality (my friend bought 100 of them brand new directly from bitmain and 25% of them didn't even mine, but started and no claim, only sending back on his costs and then repair on his costs...)
Maybe calculate it more times and also consider bitcoin still going up by tens of percent a year and maybe you will find out it is better to invest money directly rather than mining for maybe 2 years and have less Bitcoin then if you would buy in the very beginning.
I hope I gave you some other/new opinion you came here for
