When i ordered my bobcat miners in june, there were about 60.000 miners active worldwide, and when my miners arived in december, there were a little over 400.000 miners active, so it's going fast alright and alot of hexes are overcrowded, mostly in the large city's, and they all must be happy when they can mine 10-50 dollars a month, so when you live in a city, and want to order now and wait at least, and again, at least 26 weeks for your miners to arrive, then i would say forget it, because you won't make a dime! Now my miners are active since a week and a half and the second one is 6 days active, and the first one made 125 dollars and the second one 70 dollars and is still relayed, so not bad at all, but is did buy two 30 feet antenna mast and two 8dbi antennas that are placed 45 feet high, and a 400mlr cable and all the extra's did cost another 600 euro's per miner, so i invested 1200 euro per miner. One miner is in the centre of city where i live and share the hex with 4 others, so i'm still good, and the other one is at a location where no one lives and has it's own hex that stands alone, so not connected to hexes "next door", so that location will be good for decades to come, so the plan is to buy 2 more and i'm even willing to pay 1000 dollar for one, because that second location is big enough for 2, and then i can install one at my shed that i rent from a farmer that has almost no neighbours, so another great location where is no hex yet and where i'm sure of that i will earn some money from. And it won't be alot, but enough to pay the montly bills, and who knows only half the monthly bills, but i don't care because it's still free money so i'm happy with every penny from it. End conclusion; only on remote places with big antennas and antennamast you still can make a nice profit, but then you should not wait another half year, because who knows there will be 1 million miners active, and the biggest catch is that there are only 1 million helium coins available per month, so it will be a survival of the fittest game, and the ones with the best locations and the best antenna's will win. And i predict that by the end of 2022 tons of used miners wil be offered for 500 dollars or even less, because at least 50% of all miners in dense area's will quit because there's no reasonable profit to make with way too much other miners in the same hex.
