I really wouldn't touch any ASICs anymore. We have had just too many "scams" by Bitmain and other ASIC manufacturers, you buy an ASIC from them and you basically never ROI when getting a batch 2+

What is average lifetime for this things i know they have 6months warranty but has anyone had any expirence with it?

Only 77 Z9s have been shipped so far and I haven’t seen any report about failures. My batch 1 S9 shipped end of 2015 ( I forgot the correct date) still going strong. I had a couple l3+s out of 32 failed last year out of warranty but bitmain repaired them free of charge. So if you are lucky it will last a longtime.

How come a S9 going strong? Maybe you are talking that it is working but in case you have an energy price of 0.10 kwatt it is not profitable anymore. That happens because of the difficulty increase in bitcoin network which was 14% a few days ago.

Lasting a long time doesn't mean it will be profitable as explained above. Still though the Z9 with only 300 watt power consumption it is supposed to be profitable for at least a few months.

ASIC's are about an arms race where only the newest and most powerful remain relevant. In my view you should ever buy a mini anything ASIC if you expect it to be profitable. More like buy the MAXI Wink

We have some negative precedents with the other dedicated ASICS before like D3 ,L3 and lately the Monero ASICS which are all worthless right now.

I think it would be better to buy bitcoin or to buy a mining computer with graphic cards in order to be part of the decentralisation, ASICS means centralisation for me so I am always against them and no one gives you a guarantee that Z9 will be profitable after 1 or 2 months.

Hello guys. Tomorrow i will buy Giant X10 but i can afford Z9 Mini too with x10.

Z9 mini has good profit for now but what about future? Should i buy it?

What is hard fork thing btw about bitcoin gold.

İ really need your thoughts thank you.

Basically you are taking a gamble that no coins will in the near future change their algo and render that ASIC useless.

Look at what happened with the Cryptonight ASIC that was released a few months ago. The XMR team changed the mining algo and it was useless for that coin.

I think if you got the ASIC early you might of made decent profits like $50/day but right now I think they are pulling in less than $5/day.

Hence the same future can be held for the Z9 Mini, and also think "Why are they selling this in the first place".

My advice, just buy some BTC and hold that instead. You will most likely make more money than buying the Z9.
