Getting started with bitcoin mining - Questions

[Depz]

Hi,

I know this might not be the best place for this question but thought I might be able to get some help from someone with some knowledge about bitcoin mining.

So I looked into bitcoin mining and it seemed very interesting and profitable.

I understand the fact that it requires a lot of patience to see some profit being made but my question is how much patience and how much profit.

I wanted to know what the best setup for bitcoin mining is, I heard that softwares are usually just scams but and hardware is what I should go for, I did some research and found Antminer S9i and Antminer S17 Pro.

I wanted to know much many bitcoins can be mined and in how much time, also what is the best hardware for mining the most bitcoins in a certain amount of time? Also, how many machines would I have to setup to see some profit coming in.

Also, does the internet speed and the power supplied to the machine matter? If it does matter, is it a big factor?

I also heard about pools and the memberships with them, what are the benefits of mining with the pool instead of mining directly to blockchain?

The Antminer S9 and S17 Pro is just something I found with some little research, I am sure there are more powerful devices in the market and I would like to know more about them.

Please advice me on the best steps to take.

Hope to see some replies soon.

Best Regards,

It's far too late to start mining, especially with the halving coming up this May, which will reduce the amount of bitcoins that miners receive by half.

Also what's with that attachment you have added to the thread?
