We need to know more such as your electricity rate, and price you were offered.

Without those we really cannot say much.

I know someone who want to stop his mining activities so I can have it free. I'll tell how much is my electricity rate until I get back home to look at the bill.

if you can have it free, you are in a good position already, with cheap electricity ROI is possible in this case, just hope bitcoin don't crash

I can have an Antminer S5 offered to me. So I ask you if it is profitable or a good idea. So it is ?

If it is free and your power is 10 cents a kwatt get it.

if it is 300 usd shipped to your home and power is 10 cents a kwatt get it. Mine for a little bit and sell it.

If you have good power prices like 6 or 7 cents and it is 350 shipped to your home get it.

All of the above examples I believe you make some profit.

If your power is 15 cents a kwatt don't get it. unless it is free.

Better to buy 1155GH/s from Hashnest

www.hashnest.com
Antminer S5
Power: 0.51w/GHS
Maintenance Fee:$0.001175/GHS/Day

Then you see yourself, is S5 profitable or not.  





I couldn't understand that site plus apart from bitmain, I am not going to any coinflare-slowed website.

Think twice before you invest in cloud mining. It might look good, but in fact you are gambling. You are lending money to someone and taking their word that they will be paying you back for another year or so.

S5 is a good miner but I agree with notlist3d that it depends on the price of the unit and the electricity. And remember that the faster you start mining the better, so don't waste time if you want to buy it.
