another reason is there will be 10 of thousands of s9's on the cheap.
I have developed quiet cheap modded 2 board s9's that can mine here. use 400 watts and do 4.7th quietly
So having a space heater first mining here its a dirt cheap way of a chance at big money.
Space heater down clocked s9's can be made for 100 or less they will last for years.
My two board pulls 377 watts.
I owned the s9 already the modes were about 13 dollars.
so 13 dollars and .03 btc is about 300 dollars. {I donated 0.03 btc}
1 year of 400 watt mining is about 10 x 365 =3650 kwatts at 15 cents = 550 a year.
550+300 = 850 for a 1 year shot at 6.25 btc
the miner is quiet. it will help add warmth in the winter.

Do you have a thread where you discuss these mods? It just so happens I have an s9 laying around with one bad hash board, and I'd love to give this mod a try.
