Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order

[gbBit]

What is the ROI for an S9 on Hashnest?  Is it at most 4 months at current rates?

Hashnet currently does not have any S9s for sale therefore you will need to purchase hash on the market.  When I just checked the following rates are going

Last Price: .06051 BTC/TH
Maintenance: $0.19/TH/day = .00008879 BTC/TH/day
Exchange Rate: 1 BTC = $2140
Current Difficulty: 595921917085 => 1TH = 0.000422/day

ROI = Price / Earnings per day = .06051 / (.000422 - .00008879) = 181.5 days

Also keep in mind that this is a very generic calculation that does not take into account difficulty changes or the price of BTC fluctuating.  But in general you can say it will be about a half year.

Your first two questions are answered in depth in the preceding posts in this thread and others.

The 3rd question is answered with 30 seconds of Goggle research.

1)I have some working since June of 2016, but I have had more then one breakdown.

2) No s10 the s9 is  like a god compared to any other companies miner  they have zero need to make a new miner for btc mining.

3) about  June 2020

Please be nice to new people as btc needs to grow.

With ya on the be nice to newbies thing but.....BTC will not "grow" to involve ordinary folks....wallets are still easy to hack,especially online ones.

There are NO "refunds" or BTC returns...you send to wrong addy,you lost it...send to a scammer...you lost it...credit cards will ALWAYS have this feature,BTC will never have it.

Buying BTC is pricey...buy from an exchange there's a fee...send BTC there's a fee...oh & you need a bank account to buy BTC from most any exchange,or a credit card,so it is not anonymous & there's more fees.

Bout the only good thing about BTC is that is cheaper than banks,I think,to send large sums of money (convert to BTC,convert back to cash at receiving end) around the world.Definitely faster,kinda..

So not too many new folks will take to BTC,unless they can mine it & that will be over very soon,already is for most due to power prices

Where do you people live that power price is an issue? I've still got 8 personal S7s running @ 775-800, paying $0.10 per KWh, and making a profit from them(and they were even making a profit when BTC was @ $700).

Oh goodie Mr Genius showed up 

Yeah,you bought those way long ago when the diff was much lower...NOW of course they are makin profit 

Say watever you want...you know what I think,if you guys buy this crap,then you deserve to lose your butt

They never didn't. Does mining earn anyone an amount like $1 billion a week? No. Does mining at scale earn a nice living? Yes!
Why not go back on down the road where you got all of your FUD and keep it there?

Free speech baby!!! You know what Josh Zerlan of BFL called profit?? .00000001 is profit....but is it profitable??

No,mining at home with power at 6 cents per kwh or above is not profitable..... now philipma has the only way it works,rock on philipma!!!!!! 

[ComputerGenie]

...mining at home with power at 6 cents per kwh or above is not profitable.....

Guys like me, who earn a living mining, are glad that guys like you are that bad at math (less network hashrate to compete against).  

P.S. "at scale" = a lot more than .00000001 profit  - 10 @ 12.5TH = ~$600 p/week (above the $225 elec cost @ $0.10 KWh)

If we assume BTC price continues to rise, mining with even S7's will continue to be profitable (might take a while for BTC value increase to offset power cost in $). However mining relative to simply purchasing bitcoin does not make sense (might make sense atm with difficulty catching up with price). But if you have the miners and for some reason were not interested in purchasing the BTC directly, it definitely makes sense to mine with an S7 even at the $0.10 / kw-h quoted, methinks.

An S7 "should get" ~1/4 of BTC earnings now vs before halving (1/2 as per halving and 1/2 of that for doubling diff), anything over $1840 makes an S7 more profitable than back before the halving (when BTC/$ was $460).
But at 39% of that power cost S9s aren't profitable when when BTC/$ is at $2250, right Unacceptable?

Hey your the Computer Genius right?? You heard it folks!! Buy up those S9's,your guaranteed to be profitable!!!!!!!!!

You'll ROI in no time!! Diff will stop rising & the BTC price will hit $10,000 in a month or two!!!  
 
Oh & don't let that 90 day warranty thing scare ya!! S9s are TANKS baby!! None have ever broke down & they can mine for 5 years no sweat

An anti-Bitcon troll on a Bitcoin forum named "Bitcointalk". Methinks the troll is just mad because he's too broke to afford $1,160 for an S9.

You really make yourself look bad with comments like this. Profitability is a conditional thing, just because you dont know how to make a profit doesnt mean other people are in the same boat. Do a little research.

A 12.5th S9 at $0.10/kwh power currently makes ~$250 in profit a month. At $0.16/kwh you are making ~$180. If you cant profit with an S9 you should seriously think about exiting the crypto mining space completely.

P.S. The s9 comes with a 180 day warranty and has for close to 6 months now....

My S9's from November already ROI'd and I still have the salvage value of the units

That said I haven't yet bought enough in bulk to experience the failure issues that have undoubtedly affected many others on this thread. Will be making a significant order soon however, I'll be sure to check back and let everyone know if I have any issues

LOL I went back to GPU mining (with 3 year warranty on my cards!!) & making good for now... my PC stuff is free,just buy vid cards & make money  

Just a FYI for the noobs thinking about wasting their hard earned money on BTC miner  

Make bank guys!!!  

[VentMine]

Unacceptable - yes GPU mining is very profitable ATM. However you are mining in a bubble. When it breaks all value will move into BTC, so I hope you time it right to protect your wealth or are already actively selling your Alts for BTC.
