Title: Just Signed Up Post by: TSJordan on September 21, 2013, 07:05:49 PM Another newbie / lurker who just signed up today.
Have been following the Bitcoin universe for several months but so far my only involvement has been to buy some coins. Work with a guy who has a miner on order from Butterfly Labs so I've been following them over the summer and have a pretty good sense of how crazy / frustrating / bad getting into mining is these days. Still, I have some interest in mining and am considering the new Red Fury USB device. Concerned about the pre-order risks but at their price point I figure I can't get hurt too bad. T Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: bmoconno on September 21, 2013, 07:14:55 PM Howdy! I'm in the same boat as you, I've been mining LTC for quite some time and thought it might be nice to add a few of the REDFury USBs that currently have a group buy going on. I'm in for 6 but can't post there because I've never posted here before, we'll see how it goes... It's only money, right? :)
P.S. Group Buy I was talking about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296301.0 Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: favdesu on September 21, 2013, 07:22:13 PM Mining isn't worth it in my opinion.
Welcome anyways :) Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: nobbynobbynoob on September 21, 2013, 07:28:21 PM Welcome! :) I've never mined either after being burned on a shady pre-order (not too badly since I got most of my money back). No more shady pre-orders for me. I wouldn't mind snaring a few block erupters, USB hub and fans just for kicks and to secure the network that tiny bit more - you can't expect RoI with that sort of kit. Maybe one could even solo mine with a gigahash or two and hope to get lucky, since in a pool you're only mining shrapnel with that kit anyway.

I know that a ROI is very far off, if possible at all, but I'm ok with that for now. There's always resale at a loss, if it ever comes to that. ;D Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: pie3636 on September 21, 2013, 07:37:55 PM Mining isn't worth it in my opinion.

Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: nahtnam on September 24, 2013, 05:50:38 AM Welcome! When buying mining equipment make sure that you verify the seller is legit...
Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: templar77 on September 24, 2013, 08:50:22 AM Perfect. Good luck!
Title: Re: Just Signed Up Post by: MAbtc on September 24, 2013, 09:04:32 AM Don't pre-order. Huge gamble, so many scams. ;)
