Should i add another s7 or save up for a s9?
Is the S9 are the one from Bitmain with few backdoor ??
I so, I'll never buy one !
It is fixed in the latest firmware from Bitmain so there is not anymore any backdoor. At least this is what Bitmain claims and the community has not reported anything wrong for the time being so I guess they have really fixed it.
OP, S9 is the perfect choice for your energy cost as with the S7 you will lose more money than you will invest.
