This is the dumbest idea I've seen in mining lately. If you have power and voltage limitations, it is better to use video cards. It is safer and even better in terms of profit. Someone wants to cheat a rookie miner someone or a rookie wants to cheat himself. lets analyze numbers 75 dollars. doing 7 th on a braiins downclock pulling 600 watts of free power. 7th is about 30 cents a day or 30 dollars in a hundred days or 109.50 usd in a year. cost is 75 bucks.  so break even in about 8-9 months. if he is usa based i could send him a mobo and five 480 gpus. for 200 bucks. it would earn a dollar a day if power is free.  he could point it to nicehash and get paid in 98win C it would be pretty quiet and burn 600 watts. payback about 6.5-7 months i am not sure which one I would do with free power at say 600-700 watts I would say 75 bucks is not terrible as compared to 200. but once the two hundred days pass. the gpus are likely better. having done both of these things I know a proper setup of the s-9 will run with very little issues. I do think he could get the s9 cheaper. I would send him one of mine if he was close to New Jersey so shipping would be cheap. Maybe 50 bucks if he is not far from 07731 zip code. I think it's bad from a business standpoint here. Paying back 75 dollars in a year or 200 dollars in a year is ridiculous. I write a year because we have to take into account the increase in complexity, but it's not that important. Since there are 5-6 video cards in the farm, if one of them breaks down, he will continue mining, and if the asics break down, the experiment will be over quickly. And unfortunately, the knowledge that a miner will get when using an old asic will be irrelevant in the future. With video cards his experience will be more useful if he uses locations with small capacity limits.
