So, I’m on the hunt for a solid miner in the $2k to $4k range. Hashrate vs power usage isn't my biggest concern since I'm setting it up where electricity is super cheap. Found some options but not really an expert, seems like everyone’s pushing for energy efficiency nowadays.

I've got some insights about the S19. If you’re interested, I can share more on that.

Those S19s are pretty pricey though, usually over 4k. Maybe look into Avalon models? They have some decent stats. Like, the 64 TH model for about $1346. Sure it uses a lot of power but at least it's affordable.

Yeah, I’ve seen those Avalons. The 87 TH model is around $2743 but you should know it’s still pulling 3400 watts. I mean, S19 XP delivers 21 watts per TH but yeah... it's way over budget at 9k.

Hey folks, pro tip: Scott Offord has some used S19J Pros for about $3.8k. Not brand new, but it’s cheaper than getting them from Bitmain. Check his telegram for more.

Bitmain had a T19 worth 1500 bucks last week. Prices can fluctuate a lot. And if crypto keeps dropping, so will the miners' values. Best to stay patient and keep an eye on the makers.

Honestly, from a quality stand, the Whatsminer seems like the best out there. They use the latest tech and the S19J pros are on par but still, Whatsminer has that edge, except for the power supply issues. It’s hard to beat that reliability.
