Well hello to everyone,  More than that I am making a second attempt at writing a intro thread again.

Its been a while a long while sense I did any mining.  Why I left I am not certain.  Sense that time the POOL that I worked with died and all the hardware I was using is obsolete.  I am sure many of you are thinking I hear you but there are some questions that I have not been able to figure out yet and some that I have.  thing is I want to start chatting and the best way is getting my voice heard.  Smiley  I am not super active but I am hoping that will change as there are so many smart people on here. 

Anyway on to my new questions:

1:) I am thinking of investing in at least 1 S9 antminer.  The threads I've read were for the most part all positive and I love that.  Has anyone else gone in this direction off the cuff and how many should I try to attain to make it an investment. 
     ( I have seen that the difficulty has brought down the over all payout but I am not deterred  I am convinced that it is still possible to mine for profit. Smiley  Unless my wife says NO)

2:) POOLS there are so many, can I get a direction of a few good ones?

3:) Software:  I used to us CGremote and an really sad that it is no longer a usable software.  Other than Awesome Miner, has anyone else used any other GUI successfully?  sorry I am not gig on monitoring cgminer on its own.  Sadly I did not grow up on command line Sad

4:) Is minepeon the easiest way to mine with a rPI?  Just not sure it is worth putting my 3 RPI's to work as miners or to sell them.

thanks for allowing me to say hello and the ability to send questions.  Hope this second attempt goes through. 

Thanks
