Cheap?

Really difficult to justify $500 f or 2 T h / s .$ 250 per Th/s vs $55 per Th/s for an S19 Pro. Energy consumption also not great...equivalent to running 6,600 watts vs 3,200 watts.

Assuming this is it:

2-3.8 TH/s of SHA256 performance per miner (+/- 5%) 125 Watts in ECO mode, and 200 Watts in TURBO * +/- 10%

So, punching the above number into the Hashrate Index calculator:

This will generate $0.38 p er d a y, a t c u rre n t ha s h r a t e an d bi t co in d i ff i c u lt y . T ha t^{'} s$ 140 / year.

Even if you get free electricity, this will take about 4 years to return the $500 you paid for it (again, at today's BTC/USD and bitcoin difficulty)

Don't be an idiot.
