Can someone suggest a good ASIC miner?
It should be low maintenance, preferably a little bit silent. Earning is not the goal; I'm doing it as a hobby. What would be a good starting point where I can also learn?

I've an S9 ant miner and it has been pretty straight foward. Since I have it in the backyard didn't change the fans for Noctunas. With stock fans can be pretty annoying.
It's been up and running for more than 3 months and I haven't mess with it since then.
get a couple s9s
Agreed the S9 is the best for low cost and with a fan change can be pretty silent
I think this is exactly what I want. Thanks for recommendation.
I think your are looking for a bitaxe. Do you know that project?
@elsat the bug still exists, mcshane's reply appears as a post by a random npub w/o pfp and without reference to og post of who it is a reply to
when clicked on, mcshane's name and pfp loads 
S9 from kaboom racks + the noctua fans listed here ( https://www.cryptocloaks.com/product/s9-bitcoin-space-heater-bundle/ ) will get you to a reasonable 55ish decibels with no enclosure.
This. Don't get better than this for low cost hashing and noise
I have heard about that but haven't really delved into it. What is special about it?
Which build are you on

Open source software and hardware. Its the only real open source mining project. You can use chips from S9 and other miners to build your bitaxe and learn during all the process
I also looked it up on Google. It really seems like a great option. Thanks.
I'm sending my S9 back for a refund. If you want it as a project, give me an offer. It has nocturna (sp?) fans and a wifi dongle.

Bitaxe is the way.
Whatever you can get cheap and no-KYC.
Then pull out the fans and submerge it in a liquid dielectric, even cheap white oil. No fans, no dust, no problem.
(Haven't done this with an ASIC, though I have one I'm looking at. Have done with general-purpose computer)
Antminer T17. Can run on 120v so no extra wiring/electrical setup needed.
I bought mine from d-central, they had a black Friday deal at the time. 
Cheers!
