Title: Noob: What miner to buy?
Post by: Aukoue on July 22, 2014, 05:04:15 AM
Hello everyone. First of all, let me just say that I am a noob, and don't know that much about mining or miners, so please have patience for me.
So.. I was planning on getting a Litecoin miner:

I thought it would be easier to mine Litecoin instead of Bitcoin. I thought that it's too late to get into Bitcoin mining unless you have $1.5k+ laying around. But then I stumbled upon this bad boy:

It seams that it very efficient and can mine a lot of Bitcoin. Also, the price is not that bad, neither.
I would like to ask you, professional and experienced miners for advice. I know that this is a Bitcoin, not a Litecoin forum, but please be openminded. Thank you in advance!

Adam

The CoinCraft is overpriced, inefficient, loud and will never show a return on your investment. It will earn you about $18 per day after the next difficulty adjustment (in 3 days) and will continue to decline approximately every 12 days.

Other than that... it looks like a wise investment!   ;)

Invest your money in coins and wait for a boom, then sell, wait for a drop and repeat..

Ya you are right, I guess we have to wait for batch 4 if there is one.

R-box miners are good.  The R3 seems pretty solid, I have 1 R-box.  I also have 4 S1's and 2 S3's.  rockminers.com  check them out.

NEVER PRE-ORDER, unless bitmain.

If you are serious about Bitcoin ASICs, have a look at my 'currently available' ASIC comparison
