Wow...they are a bit spendy. I mean the heatbit. It is in a nice package and everything...but 800$?!?! I might as well just buy an antminer at that price. The bitaxe is a bit better at $200? @k00b, you ever get into mining?

It's not apples to apples, though. I couldn't easily tell what the expected earnings are from the Bitaxe, but the cheapest model is computing at 400 GH/s. By comparison, the Heatbit is 10 TH/s.

Right, I realize. Let me check how much an antminer does. Max hash at 100Th/s! Very similar prices... I think heatbit is selling you a good looking package.

Actually, it looks like the hashrate is 3.3 TH/s, which is just slightly more than an Antminer S19.

I was looking at the s19j. I wonder if it will go on sale?

Are those loud? I don't have a great place for a loud miner.

My s9s can be heard from from the vacuum of space, on the far side of the galaxy. If you get an s9, we will be able to hear it through your sn posts. They are even louder than I am hyperbolic.

Yes. Like a blow dryer.

I have heard they hum pretty loud. You can make them more silent by building a box around them and making the air flow a certain direction.

If you’re just getting started, check out my guide featuring the Antminer S9. I still think it’s the best bang for your buck.

The model with upgraded fans for $103 + shipping is pretty silent (less than 50dB).

Yeah, I don't want to deal with any of that (at least not for my first attempt).
