<p>Entirely depends.  Most efficient mining gear currently available is the Bitmain (who does offer volume discounts on larger orders btw) S9 running at 14.5 TH.  Electricity costs are by far going to be your most significant cost so depending on what your localities $/KW/Hour rates are.</p>

<p>Currently, where I live for example we pay about $0.096/KW/Hour so mining is still fairly profitable (assuming you can get the units in-hand in a timely fashion), and with Bitmain your basically always purchasing a pre-order.</p>

<p>You might want to consider also looking into diversifying your investment into more than just sha256 gear at this point so your not essentially putting all of your egg's in a single algorithmic basket ;)</p>

You might want to consider also looking into diversifying your investment into more than just sha256 gear at this point so your not essentially putting all of your egg's in a single algorithmic basket ;)
