I'm watching new mining developments

I don’t know this equipment seller.$1,000 for a solo ASIC — a good business for ASIC sellers.
This punkhash website I've never heard about it before, do they cheap to developing countries like Africa? Or it's like those who only cheap to specific locations only?
Have you bought any hardware from them before? Or you just happen to find them online? A friend got scammed purchasing from a website like that, good looking design attracted him.
40TH solo miner for $1,000 doesn't seem like a waste of money?
Look into the site further they have reviews and have been around for over three years before you decide to make a purchase. Personally, I wouldn’t buy a $1,000 ASIC miner from them.
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/punkhash.comI’d rather buy a used Antminer S19 for $100 and mine using a single hash board getting about 24 terahashes at 700–750 watts. It might not look as neat, but at least it’s cheap. After the halving, Antminer S21 units will become unprofitable and will likely be sold off cheaply, too.
Where can I buy an Antminer S19 for this price? 100 is way too cheap I believe, i can't find anything close to $200 for an S19 online anywhere, if you know any online market place that one can order for this then it makes a lot of sense since it's cheap.
Whatever happens won't matter much and I am even looking at using one of these for solving BCH blocks through solo mining rather than Bitcoin, I think it will be faster this way but powering it is going to be not easy.
I have some questions but I guess I will need to create a topic about it, I am really looking for a more effective way to solo mine and it seems going this way is better if one can power the S19.
At $100–$200, I’d be cautious: check whether that’s the complete miner or just a deposit/part, and verify the seller, exact model, working hashboards, PSU, shipping and any import charges before paying. If you’re in the EU, compare the landed total (price + VAT + shipping), not just the listing price. I maintain a price comparison, including the Antminer S19 95 TH/s:
https://minerdeals.eu/product/antminer-s19-95-th-s-occasion-teste?ref=disc_btct_67296166 — it’s a comparison page, so check the individual seller’s current terms and condition.
An S19 can mine BCH since both use SHA-256, but solo mining isn’t inherently faster; your odds depend on your hashrate relative to the BCH network. Power and heat are the big practical issues: a 95 TH/s S19 draws roughly 3.25 kW and needs serious ventilation, plus it’s loud. Worth checking your circuit and cooling setup before buying.
