ASIC S9 has not been used in mining for a long time, even with the availability of free electricity.
With such ASICs, you will spend more time on constant repairs and troubleshooting, and in the end there will be no profit.
ASIC S19 with firmware can be used at an electricity price of 4 cents.

Hi guys. I have no idea in regards to mining, but I am willing to learn. I checked this website: https://minetheasic.com/?BTC

I saw that with an estimate of $0.1/KWH the S9 is actually losing money instead of earning. Am I correct?

Not knowing how much you pay for electricity makes it difficult to make calculations. An s9 and an s19 are totally different. With an s9 and $0.04 kw you already earn nothing

2000 for a S19j is pricey in the current market. We have used 95th model available for 850USD

Hello everyone, my question is quite simple. I have been slowly buying bitcoin for a few years (small amounts) and now I have enough to buy some ASICs. I always wanted to buy one but I'm pretty stingy and I don't like to spend money. But lately and researching the price of electricity in my country and the price of an antminer I decided to buy one. I found an antminer s9j on amazon for 260USD (shipping included) and an Antminer S19j for 2000USD. The truth is that both would end up paying off in approximately 1 year, so I don't really know which one to buy. What do you think would be best for someone new?

I also found a used s15 on amazon but I don't know if I trust it much since it has 2.5 stars and finally the having is next year they think it will make it difficult for someone who does not have a mining farm "in good condition" (asic number and constant inconme of this)

Thank you so much
Do not buy asics for purchased bitcoins, it is unprofitable.

I'm glad you decided to work with Bitcoin mining. In addition to the electricity cost, power consumption, and noise mentioned above, you also need to pay attention to whether there are technicians nearby who can provide miner repair services. If you can’t repair it yourself, and there is no local repair center, sending the machine to other regions for repair may be risky and expensive in case of failure.

It also depends on your Electricity rate the s9j consumed 0.093j/Gh, s19j 0.036j/Gh, and s15 0.057j/Gh.

So for better efficiency then choose s19j if you have almost free electricity then choose s9j it consumed more power but if you have a very cheap electricity rate you can make a better profit with this unit.

Thank you so much

the s9j wants 120 volt power

the s15 wants 230 volt power

the s19 wants 230 volt power

A lot depends on your heat  removal issues. can you stand to burn 3000 watts for the s19 and listen to a loud unit?

you can run the s19 with braiins at 2475 watts it is not too loud.  but it is not quiet

here is one running with braiins and a down clock
