Title: Asic for 1/2 a bitcoin? Post by: gigalew on July 10, 2014, 02:53:13 AM I was thinking of cashing out my cex.io and buying a rig. My budget is .50 btc.
What is the best thing i can get for that, asic scypt seems more bang for the buck, but I would appreciate other opinions Title: Re: Asic for 1/2 a bitcoin? Post by: Meech on July 10, 2014, 03:11:02 AM Just check out these other threads. In the last month at least 4 new small asic miners were released. Now is a perfect time to get away from Cex.io and enjoy your hobby at home. The Antminer S3 is just over your btc limit and hashes at about 460gh/s. BtcGarden released their miner hashing at 310 gh/s and is at your price range. These miners are about twice as efficient as earlier models. Rockminer has the r-box which you could buy several to play around with or use for solo mining. ::)

Used S1s, Rockminer Rboxes, Gridseed orbs, furies, USB miners...What is the best thing i can get for that, asic scypt seems more bang for the buck, but I would appreciate other opinions The scrypt miners are really pretty much in their infancy. Gridseed only produced the first orbs a few months ago. Since then, a ton of options have come out, and many more are in the works. At any rate, with a budget of 0.5BTC you're not going to get a whole lot, but there are still items to choose. |
