Hello CG Members!
It is not a secret most people believe Bitcoin Mining isn't very profitable and just not worth it. I have decided to spend my money on all types of bitcoin miners and check exact profit/revenue values so the community gets a clearer image of the Bitcoin system. Looking over my results, I find it a bit shocking of how different miners earn per minute. Maybe it is time to change some miners so the "time needed to get your initial investment back" is more realistic. But thats a possible future suggestion; for now, lets jump straight in. 
Currently, in CG, there are 3 types of Bitcoin Miners, the Bitminer S1, Bitminer S2 and the Bitminer Server which is connecting to the Bitminer Rack. The Bitminer Rack can hold up to 8 Servers.
To start with, lets take a look at the initial investments needed for each miner:
 
Bitminer S1
Bitminer S2
Bitminer Rack + 8 Servers
Miner
£5,000
£25,000
£50,000 each
Upgrades
£773,400
£773,400
about £550,000
Generator
£6,000
£6,000
£6,000
Extras
N/A
N/A
Bitminer Rack - £100,000
Total
£784,400
£804,400
about £1,056,000
 
As we can see, the initial investment ranges between £780k to £1m. This range is quite small when you looking at the possible profit from each miner:
 
Bitminer S1
Bitminer S2
Bitminer Rack + 8 Servers
Every 1 minute
£1,255.34
£1,880.50
£8,738.70
Every 10 minutes
£12,553.37
£18.805.02
£87,387.00
Every 1 hour
£75,320.22
£112,830.12
£524,322.00
Time needed to get back initial investment
10 hours
7 hours
2 hours
From this table we can agree it definitely not worthy investing in the Bitminer S1 and the Bitminer S2, as most people will not base for 10+ or 7+ hours. However we can conclude that if you have a base, and planning to base for more than 2 hours, which is realistic sometimes, the Bitminer Rack, equipped with all 8 servers is a good investment.
Whilst this table only shows one of each miner - you can own up to two of each. This doesn't change any estimates about time needed to see profit, as if you double the money making entity, and double the investment, the time needed would be the same. So realistically, in order to make money, you can buy and upgrade two Bitminer Racks, with 8 servers in each, making more than £1,000,000 every hour, simply by yourself! Like I mentioned, time needed to make profit wont change, however, the possible profit made after those 2 hours can be much bigger if you base with your friends/gang. If only 5 people spawn their two Bitminer Racks - You would make about £5,200,000 every hour (or about £866,666 every 10 minutes) and that's dope.
So, in conclusion, Bitminers aren't that bad if you invest in them correctly and have at least 2 hours to dedicate.
Should I make more of these guides for other money making entities? Let me know what you think!
*Fuel intake per miner, per generator was not calculated in this guide and actual profit may vary based on the miner you are using and the fuel intake needed*

This is a FORUMS guide to help you insert pictures and videos into your posts.
As you may already know there is a limit to how much you can directly upload onto the forums to save the server from dying. This guide will show you how to insert pictures and videos into your posts!
 
VIDEO:
Inserting videos is relatively simple as you can just paste a youtube link in either format (https://www.youtu.be/xxxxxxxxx or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and the video will be inserted into your post automatically.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The link will be inserted as a video
PHOTO:
Inserting photos is harder to do and requires more steps. You will first need an image link:
From google/internet:
Right click the picture and press "copy image adress"

The image link (a link ending in .jpg .png .gif etc that leads to a web-page with only the picture) will be copied to your clipboard.
This will work for most photos, if it doesn't you will need to download the picture and use the following method:
From you/your computer:
You can have an image copied to your clipboard (the actual image not the link) by using ctrl+shift+s (windows)  Command+Control+Shift+4 (mac (not tested)) to copy a portion of your screen to your clipboard or you may just have an image saved on your computer
In those cases you need to upload the images to an image hosting website that will work (trial and error, my preferences below) to put the image online. You will go on those websites and paste the image (if it is supported on that website.) The image will be uploaded. Some websites have settings, here are a few, Display image publicly (random people will stumble onto your picture, set to no) expiration time (how long your image stays on their website, needs to be forever/never expire) 
You then need to travel to the link they give you, right click the picture and copy its address.

MY RECOMMENDED/TESTED WEBSITES:
imgBB.com (supports pasting clipboard)
linkpicture.com
imgur.com
pasteboard.co
ctrlq.org
Once you have your working link you can follow the next steps:
Go onto the forums and create your post. You then need to click on the square in the bottom right of your screen and select "insert image from url"

A box will show up asking you for your link. Paste your link in there and press insert. Well done! you now have an image of unlimited size on your post! (or you can sometimes just paste the link into your post and it will auto embed)
EDITING PICTURES.
Once you have added a picture to your post and want to edit alignment/resolution/etc. you can double click on the picture. This will open up a menu 
Link URL is where you can enter a URL to redirect the user to when clicking the image.
Image title is what people see if the image fails to load/they have a "focus browser"? that won't load images.
Size is to physically change the size of the image on your page. if you want the image to NOT be stretched (OoO Recommended ?)  Then check the "Keep original aspect ratio" box. This will make it so that editing one dimension of the image will move the other one proportionally.
Alignment is there if you want the image to be placed with text. As you can see here this image
<=== Is aligned to the left.

UPDATED. Added how to edit pictures (requested to me in DMs).

I'm not sure but i think it's in the name ❤️ (also ^^^)

There’s literally no need for your sarcastic comment. You’re staff yet you act like you do not know anything. Stop being an idiotic moron and post if it’s actually useful rather than passive aggressive comment which no one needs.
 
Staff are suppose to help people, no matter the level of IQ. If someone is absolutely brain dead and asks about every rule, you don't laugh in their face. Same with this. He obviously doesn't know what skill points are used for.
