Title: If you had 1,000USD (~13 BTC) What mining hardware would you get ?
Post by: JackPala on July 10, 2013, 04:42:46 PM
I have a budget of 1,000 USD to get some mining hardware, I'd like tangible mining hardware. I might get Block Erupter USB sticks in a USB hub plugged into a raspberry pi, but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there that will get me mining as quickly as possible (So no BFL year waiting periods please :P)

Buy a BFL Jalapeno from someone. I haven't checked what people are asking for them atm. I'm pretty sure you can get a Jalapeno + Raspberry Pi with USB hub and everything with 1000USD.

Not really. ASICs are so rare right now that none is selling them even if you want to buy. Wait for a month and there are much more options.

What about shares in mining then ? I have no idea how buying these shares work, as i'm new to mining, but i'd like to learn
