So I Have a source who Is willing to sell me bitcoin miners at $200 per 1 TH/s. I will buy about $3000 worth of miners. That is about 15 TH/s. Then I will rent a building for $660 per month witch has free electricity. Also if you do think I should mine Bitcoins please recommend a pool because please say i should do pools not solo mine. Should I spend $3000 plus sign the contract for the building or is this going to be Just a waste of time and money? Thanks, Michael BTC
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Downside is it could be a bunch of A1 miners.  Which are not really that efficient of miners.

OP ask what miner it is your getting.  But I'm betting a bunch of A1's.  Which if free ore cheap electricity is fine.  Just not good longterm for normal electricity.

It depends on your interest in BTC.  Ask yourself, are you doing this for purely a profit, or do you want to contribute to expanding the currency and embracing it and helping it by mining?  I'd start there if I were you.

If electricity is free then Mining would be really profitable.
i had previously used 2 TH/s power , had much problems with wear and tear of equipment.

I would check VERY carefully the limitations on your "free" (i.e. already paid for) electricity. Also what kind of space are you getting? You might well not be able to support 15TH of mining hardware in terms of electricity, heating/cooling, or noise. If you are getting a 100 square feet of office space next to other folks, you probably won't have the freedom to run loud, hot mining gear, that needs more than would be expected by a non-mining operation (i.e. a lawyer, or accountant).

Also add in your cost of Internet access. You don't need high bandwidth, just reliable internet.

As far as a pool goes and given the mining difficulty I would go with a pool that has low fees and that finds blocks consistently, so that would mean going with a pool like antpool.

don't waste your time investing in Mining.

You are too late to the GoldRush party. You should better sell the shovels.

I agree with the majority.  I would be game for that deal.  Just make sure you are good to go on the place and the electricity.    15 th/s is going to be noisy.    I still believe the value of bitcoin will continue to rise.

is electricity is free, so efficiency will not matter

i would do it without thinking, basically free money, but i may find a bit fishy to be honest, i would check everything twice prior buying

I find this deal fishy too. I would suggest to use an Escrow when buying these $200/TH miners.

Free electricity is tricky as if included in rent chance are they do not mean for miners to use it.   And most places with it are limited on amount of electricity they have.

But OP said:
Then I will rent a building for $660 per month witch has free electricity.

Chances are the owner of building has a provision and if your mining 1/2 or all of rent in electricity.... i bet you get kicked out the following month.   It would have to be a big corporation to take a hit like that and hold up on free electricity.  Most landlords would not take a hit like that on electricity.
