Hello,

New here.

What do you recommend to start mining with USD $20,000 to begin.

I am based in Malaysia and electricity tariff is currently at $0.09/kwh.

how many miners can I set up with this?

antminer s9 are out of stock currently?

Where can I source for cheap machines?

thank you!

My advice is start off slow and build up vs throwing 20k in all at once. If mining is $0.09/kwh you might look into hosting center's as they have info structure already set up. And they have cooling already setup in these hosting center's.

I guess it could vary depending on your local weather if Wikipedia is close with a yearly average of "(80.6 °F)." I would think you would have some cooling you will need to do which is more money. Keep in mind with 20k you would need to set up electrical, cooling, network, PSU's, etc. It can add up so not all your money goes into buying miners if your wanting to mine in your own mining area. So we really cannot say how many miner's you would be able to buy with budget. Also we don't know how many your electrical can handle which is big.

As far as "cheap machines" normally they are not the newest gen, but if your electrical cost is right for any chance you need to get current gen. So your options would best be waiting till in stock and order S9 or R4.

That is my 2 cent's above. But start small and then grow or look into hosing are your best bet's I think.
