Mining in General is unprofitable and will likely not ROI after electricity and the miner is paid for. Even if you get a tax deduction you will simply lose less money but would not cause a profit.
Yes. Yet, most new comers still attract to the mining business. And the only ones that get more or less constant flow of income are the mining equipment producers. Also, the question is inevitable as to why would they sell mining equipment if they could just mine themselves? The mining equipment manufactures are mining themselves using the new model machines which are energy efficient, less noisy and tiny. After the new model is launched, then they keep mining with new model and sell out the old model. They grab a lot of profit not only from mining but also from selling mining machine.

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

This is true, however I consider this to be very unethical. Manufacturers using customer money to build miners and then use the miners for their own profit is very wrong. I think that the customer should receive the bitcoin earned from these machines, less any electricity used.

That's what I expected and would probably do the same myself if I were a mining equipment manufacturer.

Regarding ethics, I see no problem here as long as the manufacturers don't change the mining equipment specifications (hash rate before all) and sell used hardware as brand new. If they mine too intensively on the equipment they sell, the difficulty will inevitably grow, and as a result the hash rate of the equipment will not provide enough return, so they won't be able to sell it in the end.

Most manufacturers sell their machines via preorder instead of building the machines then selling and collecting funds. As a result the customer will pay for a miner, the manufacturer will design and build the machines, then test it for 2 months (while collecting the revenue from these tests) then ship the machine out to the customer. Do you see anything wrong with this? I certainly do!

I think that there is no good regulation for now.
