Here in the UK, miners are just going for silly money. Im sure its similar in most countries!
With electricity being so expensive here 0.2$ per kWh, mining is not so profitable at the best of times! Luckily I have solar panels, and it is just about worth it for me.
However, an s9 will sell for around $3000-3500. How in the holy hell does anyone recoup their investment?!??!! I mean surely anyone who is willing to spend that amount of money does a little bit of research and sees that they will really, really struggle to make roi?!!? All other miners (especially from bitmain) and all going for sky high prices, sell above the standard price.
Someone help me here - it cannot always be complete idiots who are blindly spending this money?
Has anyone bought an overpriced miner and still made money?
