Their rate is 3.6 btc / yr thats correct? If so, its worth imo, but a lot of people say its a waste of time and they are very hard to handle and setup, idk if they tell this just to discourage new people get into mining

Im planning to get 5 Asic R9's, please note that I have Free energy, what would be my costs besides the miners cost?

Are they really hard to setup? They have a decente life-time?

Of course its worth it, mining is a competition between producers and those with cheapest resources will profit.

If you do have free electricity then it would really be a profitable mining thinking off that you would have already a free electricity but I'm wondering where those free electricity come from? but well its my own business though.
If you don't have any problems in electricity then you should pay attention on the maintenance and thinking off that you don't have a guarantee that those miners would last long depending on how you maintain them.

Sure, go ahead. Make sure you have proper ventilation, temperatures, and decent humidity levels. Make sure the circuit you are pulling power from can actually withstand the power you are running through it and that your power supplies aren't some cheap noname brand. HP and Server PSUs with breakout boards+Super Flower/EVGA PSUs are nice. Finally, make sure you aren't doing anything illegal. It'd be a shame to lose your investment to something dumb like that Smiley also note how much power you can get for free.

Don't bother to do such thing.It wont be profitable anymore and you cant mine bitcoin on using laptop or PC since it does have a respective type of miners which is ASIC and regarding on ALTs you would need Powerful Graphics card so that you would be profitable on it.If you are really eager on mining field then better to study even more and know the basics so that you would some idea.
