Is this thing legit? (AntMinner S9)

trollzhxtroll · Nov 14, 2017

So today, I want messing around Bitcoin mining stuff on the internet. Then I found this: https://shop.bitmain.com/antminer_s9_asic_bitcoin_miner.htm?flag=specifications

I was wondering if this thing is really legit ( not a ****** scam) Because on this website: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=14&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1372&CostPerkWh=0.007
it shows me that I can make about 20 MILLION $$$. As I live in Canada, my electricity is super cheap...
I saw some 100$ Antminers that were real becaus I own one and it gave me 3 Etheruem coins in 2 weeks...
Can someone please help me?

You would wonder, if they can make millions with 1 of them why are they not just minning them instead.

You are way off base. The antminer s9 only mines bitcoin. One of the main points of Ethereum is that it cannot be mined with an asic.

This is what you would actually make with an s9.
