I live in Egypt and there is taxes and duties on every device i buy... it weighs 10Kg or sth.

if the s9 cost you 600 usd after government taxes  may I ask what does the L3+ cost you?  yes I know it is for LTC but  you have an unusual set of issues.  Cheap power but very high machine cost.

Could you order from UK  eBay and have it shipped into you?

No it is also prohibited to import those devices. So yes the suffer is real the L3+ cost like 300$.

How they get those things to Egypt? Illegal shit.

You mentioned that you live in egypt, i know a few people who mine there so let me break this down to you.

1- mining btc is illegal in egypt
2- you can not import mining gears , they will conficticated buy custom ( unless you know someone who would let it slip)
3- electricity infrastruce there is very terrible , i am pretty sure the wires at your house and the once coming in from the nearest transformer are probably close to their max, you add a few miners and you will fuck something up along the way.

So i would suggest you get an electriction to check all of that before doing anything, i think anything above 3_4 miners will cause you tons of troubles.

Something similar happened here, and people found their ways... But of course there are also resellers with outrageous prices like yours.
But you may try finding someone who already owns one and is upgrading to something better, even if not all three boards are good, you might get it for a very good price, then install Braiins OS to maximize its efficiency.

Oh since he owns 3~4 AC i'm sure disconnecting one or two would give room to a couple of miners.

I no longer encourage the op to mine as it is a crime for him to do so.

I do not want him to go to jail or be punished by a beating etc.

Hearing all these story I totally agree with you, it is not so profitable.
