Title: Best Budget Machine 1BTC/$500 Post by: nuggetbram on May 04, 2014, 07:27:03 AM What is, in your opinion, the best miner for me to buy with a $500 budget?
I've already got a small LTC rig and some smaller BTC miners, and I've finally accumulated about 1BTC or $500 worth. Is there a miner I will achieve ROI with for this price? Anything worth buying at this stage in the 'arms race'? Title: Re: Best Budget Machine 1BTC/$500 Post by: tranzsport on May 04, 2014, 07:59:43 AM if you have the $500 in fiat then buy straight btc.
if you have it in btc then hold on to them or trade altcoins (very risky). just my opinion.

It's 2W/GH though but you can mod it to use less power if you sacrifice some GH.

mine with the s-1 for a while read the down clocking thread on it. and consider a downclock when diff goes to 22-25 diff is now 8. holding the .46 btc gives it a chance to jump and mining with the 1 s-1 gives you an okay miner . If you are in the usa and need a psu for the miner and a spare fan send me a pm. I have more then 1 extra psu that will work with a s-1 miner. And I have very powerful but loud replacement fans.

If you only have fiat i can sell you one of mine. stock voltage or undervolted to 155ghs @ 200 watts. ship from canada pm if interested Buy from bitmaintech if you already have btc to spend Title: Re: Best Budget Machine 1BTC/$500 Post by: xstr8guy on May 04, 2014, 07:51:58 PM What is, in your opinion, the best miner for me to buy with a $500 budget?

But to answer your question, AntMiner S1 is your only option right now. |
