What miner and best place to buy it if you want to start mainly to learn, help secure the network, etc, and get some KYC sats in return (even if highly unprofitable fiat-wise) ?
I do not live in the states but was pointed in the direction of Scott Offord https://t.me/ScottsDeals there are plenty of Telegram groups related to mining that can be of help. I was told there is still a very large portion of miners sitting on shelves in the US. If you decide to run numbers take time to analyze the evolution of hashrate and projected growth. Very important.
Here are some screens of the satflow sheet I use for my calculations. Marginal mining that can happen at the expense of a residential or SOHO meter can prove useful at first but wont scale.
If you want to take a look here is a link to the spreadheet. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.
Here some screencaps
