does anyone know how the creators are using bitminors computers to turn a profit?
Not sure if you're trolling but I'll answer this in case someone else is wondering.

Mining is what runs the network itself. They made the network very difficult to run, so you can't just run it with a server and let the currency get really big. As the currency grows, so does the task of running it. And as the task grows harder, it gets harder to get anything from mining.
