Title: Beginners setup
Post by: Camery on November 08, 2013, 11:09:57 AM
Hello everyone here on bitcoin forum.

I want to start earning bitcoin, but I have a few(maybe a lot) questions.

First, What is a better way of getting bitcoins fast.
Buying a miner, or just trade your way up?

As for mining I already did some research and I can afford 3 Asic blade v2's at the moment. (no, im not stinking rich)
This would result in a mining rate of 3*13 gh/s if everything runs optimal.

Lets say in the end I wil get around 35gh/s in total with this, is this any profitable?
according to a bitcoin calcular I should be looking at something like 9.5 usd per day with todays rate (1btc=300 usd)
Ofcourse, value can change ovetime, and difficulty increases by the year(not sure), but just to have a number to work with for now.

But; is this reliable? I was looking at mining in the btcguild EU pool, but wil I get similar results as this nice webpage (bitcoinx.com/profit/) is trying to get me believe?
Also, I thought that I've read somewhere that the blade isn't compatible with stratum pools, if so, in what way wil this affect me?


Thanks in advance everyone.  :)

(don't mind my english please, not my first language)

If you plan on purchasing hardware, take a look at this calculator.

It will take the difficulty increases into account, and show you your potential profits over time.
