I hope this is the right category.
Because of my job, I got some electricity for free (enough for antS9), so I just ordered an antminer S9. It will be shipped on jan, but I had no better options than bitmain. Classified ads were 100% scam on my country.
I assume bitcoin mining difficulty will increase, we are talking about 2 months, however I find mining extremely profitable, am I missing something?
I used this website to calculate the profits:
https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=14&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=0&CostPerkWh=0This antminer would generate 0.07840525 btc/month according to calculations, is this correct? I find it insane. Next halving will be in 2020, right?
A friend of mine told me that bitcoin developers "will change" bitcoin in order to shutdown asic mining. Is this correct?
Happy mining
