New to the group and looking for help

Mining & Hardware
#1

Good morning everyone… This is my first post to the group and I feel bad that my first post is asking for help but that is unfortunately the position I’m in. I have an 8 year old little man and we have been getting into crypto mining together (i’ve been investing in crypto for a couple years). We started out by simply setting up some USB miners (I know, I know they aren’t profitable) as a learning experience and an opportunity to do something fun together. As suspected it was, we had a blast together setting it up and watching the hash rate on CGMINER start working. He was so excited, and to be honest I was just as excited.

Now we are ready to move on to bigger and better things. This is where my request for advice comes into play. I’ve been looking on EBAY at the following items and am hoping someone on here would help me select the right next ASIC miner for this adventure with my son.

BTC Bitmain Antminer S9

Goldshell Mini Doge & Litecoin ASIC

Bitmain Antminer S9i 14TH/s

If your not looking at profit then any would be good all those are pretty much break even after electric or make less so u won’t make anything.but if your doing it for fun the mini is house friendly low heat and not loud as hell. The s9 are going to be like a vacuum cleaner 24/7 loud as hell so if your running in your house your wife will kill in first week. I don’t know anything about the two but I would recommend l3 since it was my first asic and they are tank but they are like the s9 they are loud
