This delivered around end june right. So, it has nearly been a month.

Wat was the original cost, 1.9k for 1 piece was it? I am wondering if it will break even.

Batch 1 went for $1999. Mine was delivered on June 25

First batch will easily break even and then some.

What makes you so sure of this? nobody but Bitmain knows how many batch 2 Z9 minis/batch 1 non-minis are to be shipped, combined with Innosilicon's Asics now coming online. Not to mention that most of the Equihash coins are forking away from asics, leaving a much smaller slice of the pie to fight over. I still do believe it has good odds to ROI, but I don't see how you're concluding that it's a guarantee.

I think they are a decent purchase.

They have been out for a while and there is also the Innosilicion ASICs out and the hashrate hasn't doubled or trippled yet.

My guess is that many of the AMD and Nvidia miners are switching and in place there is an ASIC that takes over.

Its not as bad as with the X11 algo when Bitmain released the D3, that quickly destroyed the profitability. Same with the SC ASIC miner they released.
