i guarantee there's some kids out there in some countries who're running units that cost their parents more in electricity than the bitcoins they end up mining

Mining is all about the maths.
((Price of mining unit / amount of months of life time of miner before difficulty rating becomes too high per kW) + kW hour cost per month) <= monthly amount of coin mined If you can take the byproducts and reuse them, then it becomes more profitable. In cold places like Canada they use the miners excess heat for indoor heating. When you run these calculations you will realize that mining is not some free money industry. It comes with major pitfalls and risks. You could find yourself sitting on $10,000 of useless equipment that wont work as well as a toaster does to toast bread. |

I have always wanted to become an entrepreneur but been afraid of all the trouble connected with it; however mining cryptocurrency is something that may bring you a real profit and it's up to you what type of cryptocurrency to choose! Hope, this link https://promocodius.com/us/shops/hashflare about mining operations will be useful.

At the current btc price of US $6,966.03, your two antminer's are making you a grand total of $10.45/day. Subtract electricity costs and I suspect it will be a while before you break even.
