Hi, I am pretty new to this forum and have great interest in purchasing a Bitcoin miner. I have been considering purchasing an Antminer S9, but I've also seen a few posts about people having issues with their miner. I am able to afford the S9 and the power requirements, but I want to make sure that I am choosing the right miner. I only plan on purchasing one miner for the time being and I want to make sure that I am getting my money's worth out of this purchase. If you recommend another miner please tell me why as I am still learning about the world of Bitcoin mining. Thanks!
Would you mind telling us your electricity rate? It might also be wise to realise that eventough an S9 might be within your budget, you'll also need to pay Shipping, handling, customs fees, wiring, networking, cooling, shelving,...
And like you said, bitmain offers a 3 months factory warrantee, and they're known for giving crappy customer support, failing hardware, and replacing faulty boards with used up hardware.
