Hey everyone, I've got an S9K ASIC miner that I'm thinking of selling since it's not making me any money anymore. But I'm wondering if there's any other use for this SHA256 rig? Plus, I'm looking to upgrade to a better ASIC miner and I can spend up to $14,000. I'm also curious about which ASIC miner is the most profitable at the moment. I've been searching but can’t find much. The Antminer S19 XP with 255TH seems to be the best option I found, and it makes about $4.7 daily. Are there any Bitcoin ASIC miners out there that can do better than that?

ETFbitcoin you are right, the Asic money I want to purchased has a Hyd name attached to the complete name, I don't know the difference between the normal s19 and this Hyd but thanks for telling the difference, actually energy consumption wise is not a problem for because I don't rely on the grid power completely, I also use solar panels just like some people on here so the only time I will be using grid power is in the night when there is no more sunshine.

The difference is that the hydro does not have the large cooling fans. Running at full speed each fan can easily draw 50-75w. That said, the hydro *does* need to use circulating pumps and fan cooled radiator(s) which are not part of the efficiency spec. When running just 1 or 2 of the miners it's a safe bet that after adding in the power for cooling system will it be nearly the same...

Well considering many of those are very old, only available second hand, and would run at a loss for most people, I crossed off a number of them. I deleted the last one since they are not even Bitcoin miners. Anyone selling you the ones crossed off, is probably thinking you are a fool and you are willing to buy anything with the word Bitcoin on it.

You are very true, old systems never make any money with Bitcoin. I tried in local forums for buying Antminer, but on calculation their is no profit for me. What to mine showed me loss a year back. I think the OP later can have profit if the BTC price moves up else mining is worse for most countries.
