That was my thinking too.

There are a lot of replies in this thread talking about Bitmain like they're the miner, when in reality they're the mining supply store selling miners the shovels, hard hats, and so on.

Mining itself may be profitable, or it may not. But no matter what, the supplier should come out with a fairly healthy profit if they play their cards right.




Maybe. The lead time on this stuff is not insignificant. It's not that simple. Bitmain/Jihan understand that; they take a varied approach.
