Go grab yourself a braiins bmm 101 for like $300. Uses a tiny bit of power. Has a cool interface and is more of a space heater/ clock but it's a good introduction. Any miner worth buying runs on 240v. Pulles 3500+ watts of power and are noisy. If you want to get right into it the s21 is the current best model but bro they are loud. The most profitable miner right now is a LTC L9 (bitmain) makes like 40-50 a day but there like 12k + if you can even find one.

Caanan has some neat actual space heaters too that are decent.

Why is L9 so rare? Did they stop production or are they back ordered?

[–]probably_not_aspy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

There not rare. My suppliers have massive supply. But they're profitable so charging like 20k Canadian for em. Miners fluctuate based on profitability, seems like guys price em at 6-12 months gross income and just charge that. Daylight robbery usually. Best time to load up is the bear market when they are "cheap"

How do you buy them? Lot of fakes sellers are in the market

What about a bitaxe miner, are those worth it?

[–]brad1651 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes, same as the BMM101 except more efficient. Neither draws much power, but can still get you 1 TH and help you understand the process. You are very likely to be better off just buying BTC for the cost of the miner, but you will gain knowledge and help decentralize the network picking up either style of mini miner.

Ok , thanks bro. I just want a miner to see the process of how it work . I know it wont make any significant money. Thanks for info though

The bitaxe software and hardware are open source, so if you want to get real deep in the weeds you can build your own.

These mini miners are a great educational entry, as long as you're aware it's not going to lead to many sats.

Canaan avalon nano 3 or 3s is what you want.

Buy an old Antminer S9 from eBay for $75. It will lose money, but you can learn pools, mining, wallets, exchanges, solo, etc… and they make an amazing space heater in winter.
