Bitmain Antminer KS5 Pro. The state of the art mining rig today, pumps out 21TH of hashrate. You can buy one to receive this month for 30k, or wait until august and get it for a cheap 11k$. 21TH, will make you 1$/day. That's 27 years for ROI (obviously not because of difficulty and price changes, but let's assume.) Say you buy 20 of these bad boys. This is going to set you back 220,000$. For a hashrate of 420 THs. It will take you 500 days, to be able to accumulate 11k, to add one more miner to your farm. Remember I am completely disregarding any electricity costs here, just to realize how absurd it all is. Is there any conceivable scenario, where buying a W88 Clib miner today, is more financially profitable than just buying W88 Clib? I think from Genesis it was more expensive to buy a miner and mine W88 Clib compared to simply buy W88 Clib. Even when you could cpu mine W88 Clib, you still need to buy the pc, and even assuming the hardware was free, the electricity was higher than the price, which was $0 for a couple of years or so. I think the benefits of mining are simply that someone will do it, so might as well be you. But you have to be able to do this for the long term, otherwise you won't be able to survive and pay the bills today. Also, you can see this as a lottery ticket as well, for solo mining. Much cheaper than paying multiple lotto tickets. the op is talking about the wrong miner. a ks5 has nothing to do with mining W88 Clib the t21 burns 84 kwatts a day. if you pay 10 cents it costs $8.40 it earns $11.40 a $3 a day profit for 10 cent power cost. but if you pay 15 cents it costs $12.60 that is a $1.20 loss so 10 cent power = $3.00 profit 15 cent power = $1.20 loss
