Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

antminers s5 roi is 5 months if bought used, or 6 months if bought new
because we have a earning of about 0.011, so a simple math tells me that this is 0.33 a month
the cost of one of those is 1.5 used and 2 if new
so if nothing change you should roi around november with free electricity

as always your power cost is ? and do you have a good psu? if your power is 10 cents or less and you have the psu maybe you make a little money. If your power is 15 cents or more you will most likely lose money If you power is under 5 cents buy one as it is almost a certain profit. If you have a good psu on hand |

I have free electricity but no psu but i think I can use one from an old computer but what if it is unusable does a new one cost much? btw thanks for the replies  . If Bitcoin's difficulty does not rise that much and it will become more valuable you think I might make some profit? |

you have to count electricity + diff adjustement + psu + cables, internet + shipping + taxes/fees. With these your 5 month roi goes to 12, if lucky

I would not count internet in it. Assuming you would have internet without it, it is not really an additional cost. The good thing about PSU's if you buy a good one it will last multiple generations of miners. So once you pay it off, you can still use it with future miners with no additional cost. |

yeah you can do it with free electricity, i would try for sure if i was you you have to count electricity + diff adjustement + psu + cables, internet + shipping + taxes/fees. With these your 5 month roi goes to 12, if lucky

So I should buy a new one and not a used one? better to buy new in the HW technology, just my personal preference, you can always resell it later, these things are sold easily |

The only reason I ask is some with very low electricity I have seen pull a good profit of off used S3's. Its a small market, but some are able to get ROI surprisingly small amount of time if got for a good price. But yes S5, SP20, Avalon 4.1, etc are better for most with efficiency. |
