Title: Best hardware for $200-$300 ? Post by: P239 on July 01, 2013, 02:37:16 AM I'm just getting into BTC and mining, and figured I could plunk down a few hundred$$ of my hobby money on a ASIC (or other) hardware solution. I was all ready to throw all of my money at Butterfly Labs, but I dont really feel like waiting a year.. I'm also not to keen on what I'm reading about their quality of customer support..
So, what other all-in-one solutions are out there in the sub $500 range? And no, i am not interested in building my own PC based kludge.. Title: Re: Best hardware for $200-$300 ? Post by: logicbomb666 on July 01, 2013, 02:41:44 AM honestly, I wouldn't invest in hardware right now. I would either just buy BTC to hold, or buy shares of something listed on https://btct.co/
but if your solely looking for hardware, you only have 2 real options. search the forums, you know it to be true. Title: Re: Best hardware for $200-$300 ? Post by: dan99 on July 01, 2013, 02:49:52 AM probably go back to your Cave dwellings they are tons of information you couldn't bother to read.
Title: Re: Best hardware for $200-$300 ? Post by: mgio on July 01, 2013, 03:38:49 AM You can't make money buying mining hardware right now. You missed out on ASICs. You would have had to order last year from BFL or Avalon batch 1 to make a return.
You best bet is to go to bitfunder.com and buy ASIC Miner shares. Title: Re: Best hardware for $200-$300 ?

Hey thanks for that very thoughtful and helpful tidbit of knowledge.. I have read through much here in the forum, and since I clearly have more of a social life than you, I don't understand it all (because I'm out having a life and such..). Thus, I came here to ask the helpful group for help and advice.. Others have risen to the occasion.. You have failed miserably.. But it was entertaining so for that, I thank you..

Post by: ujka on July 01, 2013, 08:13:15 AM If you want hardware in that price range go to some Avalon chips group buy thread (here are EU based group-buys and they are offering assembly for a complete miner):

ASICMiners shares... at 3.5BTC/share? They are paying dividends every two weeks, around 0.025BTC average, so calculate for yourself. Of course, you can sell your shares later.

Title: Re: Best hardware for $200-$300 ? Post by: worldinacoin on July 01, 2013, 10:44:13 AM 7950 for mining Litecoin is still not worth best to just buy
