Hey all,

Its becoming painfully clear that sourcing a decent gpu for beginner mining isnt likely to happen, at least not easily, and without some luck.

I am living in a summer cottage with 0 insulation.  Have been running the gas fireplace and two spaceheaters 24/7 to make sure no pipes freeze etc.

Going to just make the plunge and order an Asic miner to plug in (in the back bedroom) for a few months til summer comes. 

I see people talking about used bitmain s9's on alibaba for around 45 usd.  Has anyone had experience with ordering something like this off that site?  Also, I am hoping to get a 110v power supply for it to avoid rewiring/electrician fees. 

I figure if I order it, and get a potato, ill only be out a little bit (plus shipping?)

But if I order it, and I can turn off a space heater, maybe have a little fun, earn a few coins in the process, that would be ideal.


Any and all tips are appreciated, Ive been pouring my last few weeks into learning more about crypto and exchanges and wallets and mining etc etc etc, but still lacking alot of information and hoping for any input!
