ALSO...is it true people are only making $11 / day off an S9? Why do I see posts of people making $20+?

Because difficulty...

At todays diff with $0.10 elec and 2% pool fees, net profit is estimated somewhere south of $10 a day according to coinwarz.

There was a time when they made $20 a day when difficulty was lower.  If you are getting older info it may have been accurate at the time but not now.

You do understand there is a really strong likely hood diff will continue to increase for quite some time to come right?  You don't seem to grasp the relationship between diff and revenue generated.

I grasp that relationship. What I am saying is that I was noticing people, as recently as a week or two ago, posting on here saying they are making $20+ a day on their S9s (and even showing their slushpool accounts for verification). I'll try to find the link

Taking a snapshot of a single time in mining is not a good way to project future earnings.

Things like pool luck, tx fees and things can sway the super short term numbers significantly.

Review their posts and DTM, diff is easy to find on the day and plug it into a calculator to verify.
