Title: Considering Purchasing A 25 GH Bitfury Starter Kit
Post by: flbtlgx on September 14, 2013, 09:16:13 PM
Hello everyone.

I'm new to the bitcoin world, and I have a little bit of money to invest.

I think I've done a fair amount of research into what is out there and readily available.

I considered purchasing some USB Asic Miners from some group buys but I don't like the idea of requiring the purchase of a USB Hub, specialized power supplies and USB fans.

I'm considering purchasing this unit from Bitfury:

25GH Miner Starter Kit (October Delivery)

With this it looks like I would be purchasing each GH at 52$.

However, if I were to additionally buy one of these:
Bitfury 55nm ASIC H-Board (October Delivery)
https://megabigpower.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=55

I would be looking at $1800 for 50 GH/s, which comes out to roughly $36 per GH.

Any recommendations?

Also, I am NOT going through BFL. I've read far too many horror stories about that company. Additionally, I'm not tech savvy enough to be able to solder my own boards by purchasing my own chips etc.
