hey guys I'm planing to start mining ethereum but since I'm beginner I need some advice and pointers ... What kind of miner can I get for 2500 euro and for what time will it arrive in Italy?

Look at amazon for GPUs AMD RX470/480/570/580 or Nvidia 1060/1070
There is a lack of GPUs in the whole world

I am looking mainly for asic miner not building gpu rigs... That was the reason for the topic I need advice on good miner for the money (2,5k) and fast delivery...

Regards.

You want a unicorn?

It is as easy to find one as it is to find an ASIC eth miner!


In case you do not understand neither of them have been proven to exist!

By fast I meant 25-35~ days not 3 or 6 months :D

take your money and light it on fire, that is what is going to happen if someone sells you an asic miner for ethereum. They don't exist and won't exist. I am sure someone will try and scam you and sell you an asic.

So you're the one who bought up all the unicorns at Microcenter... damn you!

OP, send me 1 BTC to 1AMfUrM37cCHcAvyYGx9bsJWjt6rdCu7sj and PM me your address and I will Priority Mail you an ASIC..... I think I have a BFL unit laying around somewhere.

I've got a garage full of them!  ;)

Send your payment in BTC to the following address:

Don't be so mean guys I'm just newbie to the whole mining thing just saw somewhere on aliexpress ltc miners and I thought they can mine all scrypt currencies... so I guess I need to build gpu rig ... thank you for the replies..

So how exactly do you plan to make a profit?

Use this and tell me how profitable youll be: http://www.mycryptobuddy.com/EthereumMiningCalculator/path?hashrate=30&powerCost=0.12&power=100&chartView=profits

LTC miners CAN mine all Scrypt currencies. However, Ethereum's Proof-of-Work is Ethash, which by design is ASIC-resistant.
There are no ASICs for Ethash or Ethereum for that matter. Ethereum can only be mined by GPU/CPU.

lets say I get 6 x 290/390 on good price thats 150-60 mh/s on current rate(249$) and difficulty my profit will be 575$ without the electricity bill which I'm not paying :)

Ok but you cant buy those new so they'd have to be used, also, how do you expect to get a good deal in Italy? You'd be almost limited to the used market in Italy as most people wont ship to foreign countries.

I dont think youll be able to get R9 290/390 for less than $399 usd. its not worth it at all man.

You're going to need 2 power supplies if you want to run 6 290/390 on the same board so what about all the upfront cost for that?

This doesn't account for future difficulty increases. The profit on ether is roughly half of what it was two weeks ago. It will probably get cut in half again or worse, and that 4 month breakeven becomes 8 months or 16 months, is it worth it then? There are tons of new people everyday on here, that is why everyone is making fun of you for not doing the research about asics.

okay what do you propose for my budget

Coins are on sale right now.  Take your money and buy the coins you most wish to hold.  Mining is a tough business to get into right now.

There is no ascic miner for etherum.

which coins are best to invest is the etc good option ?

 You live in Indiana?

 *ROFLMAO*

There is no ETH ASIC miners.

there is no eth-asic, run 6x290, flash it to 290x, and you get around 180mhs, dual mining eth+dcr nice profit then

 They can - but Ethereum isn't a scrypt-based coin.


 Don't need to flash a R9 290 to R9 290x (which doesn't work very often, seems like the only ones it ever worked on were some VERY EARLY R9 290s - but can't hurt to try) to get good ETH hashrate.

 Flash with one of the modded bios by TheStilt, should be able to run at 1100/1250 at that point as long as the ambient isn't way high, good for about 28 Mh/s right now.
 I'm pretty sure that those modded bios only work on reference-board models, but that's a lot of the R9 290s out there.
 He also made versions for the R9 290x - could try one of those first, nice thing about the R9 290 is that I'm pretty sure they're all "dual bios" so if you brick one bios you can use the other to get the card back.

 I have no clue what they would do on dual mining, never bothered trying it.

I can sell you an asci miner it can hash at 1500mh/s and only uses 180w of power i want 20K
each for them pay by bitcoin lol

 Actually, unicorns do exist - for a rather wide definition of unicorn (not the fantasy horse-based concept).
 Many rhino species are unicorns, and I think there might be an impala or closely related species that is a unicorn.

 This makes unicorns INFINITELY easier to find than ETH ASIC.
