What mining rigs can i get under 1btc ASICs FPGAS whatever.

Forget it, you'd be wasting your time to be honest. Even the USB ASICs are BTC2.2 with shipping giving 300 MH/s.

You could get a used GFX card, add it into your spare PCI-E slot and earn a tiny amount by pool mining.

Wheres that at?

Think it's called the Block Eruptor: a search will yield plenty of posts :)

Its performance vs other methods is woeful though.

GPU-based? doable but tight.

hmm answer my pm

For 1BTC, I can sell you my mining rig w/out mobo, psu, hdd, ram, cpu, and gpu.  Just the custom built open enclosure only.  Capable of up to two "rigs" for a total of 8-10 gpus :)

Whoa lol, Id need everything.

You can't get much for 1BTC, cept for maybe a 7790 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205229.0), which will get you ~250MH/s, but requires a full PC and PSU with a 6pin power connector.

However, for ~2-2.5BTC, you can get some ASICs!

The ASICMiner folks announced the Block Erupter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195004.0) USB device that does 300MH/s, and is powered entirely off the USB port. However, they only accept orders for 300 or more, so there (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.0) are a couple (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197446.0) of Group Buys (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195540.0). These are prolly the most likely to end up in customers hands first, depending on which group buy gets their order in first.

The other option is to purchase a 3rd party miner made from Avalon chips. TerraHash (http://terrahash.com/shop/) will be selling a 4.5GH/s unit for 2BTC, but is not accepting orders yet, and it will be 2-3 months after you do order before you get your unit.

And of course, the last option is the BFL Jalapeno (https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/5-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html). It's 5GH/s for $275USD, which is about 2.5BTC. Current owners of the Jalapeno say it uses ~30Watts, but who the hell knows when you will get on if you order now.

Holy fuck, ironcross got twice my posts in 3 months? ~200 posts a month, ~6.6 posts day. That's just stupid.

Grand total: $108.02

terrahash sounds good

So what would the best option be for a guy looking for a ASIC for around 2BTC?

Buy a Block Erupter or wait for the "TerraHash"?

Where is the thread for TerraHash, btw?

There will be Avalon Single chip USB miners for sale, soon.

Some of the folks posting in this thread indicated that they will be selling retail.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196281.0

I would bet that they will be <BTC1

What's the hash rate on these?

July lol, by then bitcoin miners will get little

Avalon chips hash at ~280 MH/s each.
The USB miners will have 1 chip.

The Terrahash uses a Klondike design for it's board, which uses 16 Avalon chips (4.5GH/s). This little USB miner will use 1 Avalon chip (280MH/s), and its developed by the same guy. Not to be confused with the Block Erupter, which is also USB powered and ~300MH/s, but is sold by the ASICMiner team. They are different. Price for the Avalon-powered K-1 USB device one is expected to be ~0.3BTC.

Terrahash thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198489

Pretty good find.  I have seen some of these cheaper/older 775 motherboards NOT work with mining level video cards though but I was trying with 5830's. 

take that 100$ buy Litecoins,Feathercoins or Bitcoins sell it on ebay for 100% Profit
Not Sure if Scammer building Reputation or Money laundering, but i guess there are really People who willing to pay 199$ for 1 BTC
or 10$ for 10 Feathercoins  or 40$ for 10 LTC

after 5 days 50 trades you maybe have 350$-500$

How much you would pay for a FPGA that makes 380mhash?

.3btc? Really for the usb thing?

The question is should you get a 300Mhash ASIC/FPGA miner for 2BTC today?

Or wait 2 months+ for something that might be a scam but has a hash rate of 4.5Ghash for the same price?

What's the time table for the 0.3BTC USB thingy?

Ah, just wait then. BFL Might raise price again tho :/

FYI: Don't trade with ironcross360.  He's tried to scam multiple people in PM.

How have I tried to scam? All I said was I'd like to buy 15k xrp for 1btc? Its not a scam its business. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204485.0

Going to leave the scam accusations for others to sort out.
I haven't done any trades on the forum yet, so thanks for looking out for us newbies!

I kinda hijacked ironcross360's thread because I myself is interested in getting a cheap ASIC miner.
I would like to hear some people that actually got miners, what they think I should get.

now I have 2btc so under 2btc...

OMG! The highest amount he's made yet! To think he tried to sell literally EVERYTHING he owned to get a bitcoin.

actually around 15btc I have had total, total in wallet 9btc

So is this a lie or a scam? Can't tell with you anymore.

Want a pic of my wallet? And btw how do I know if someones in my bitcointalk acc? theres some post i didnt make

can 2 people be on my bitcointalk acc at once? I think im being hacked?

Don't change your password or anything.

why? I already did, And this thread I Did make

Guys, guys, let's not lose focus here.

We still need to find the best miner for 2BTC.

ironcross360: You spammed PM's to multiple people.  That's what's known as "scammy."

I was mass PM'ing 200 people...

That's exactly what I'm referring to.  You massed PM'd 200 people trying to sell XRP. 

Yeah good luck with that. Let me know if you find anything that hashes over 200mh :P

He did that? Please report the PM's via 'report to admin' - he has been banned temporarily before for spam-PM'ing to beg before.

Was that him?!?

I got 2 emails from that nonce!

Wasn't even aware of the 200 messages, let alone the temp ban. Plus on top of that in his first month he clogged up goods and computer hardware with EVERYTHING he could get his hands on. Second month he made posts like spam in Services. Soo annoying, we should have a 15 YO filter.

Just submitted it to theymos.

Wasnt only me TCLO Mass pmed about the same...
