Title: How Good are certain hardaware? Post by: plasterer on October 30, 2014, 11:48:03 PM Hi all, Thaks for taken the time to look at this, I have just started using bitcoin, silly me i knew about it a very long time ago, installed the software and never ever gave it a thought again, But thats life.
What i am wondering is what hardware would you go for as a start up, I'm not looking to make thousands,am just using the comp as it is not doing much. I have a ENGTX295 G card, I have overclocked it a bit, i bought that before i realised that Nvidea is not the best for mining,I have been looking at a few things on flee bay ,ASICMiner Block Erupter USB 330MH/s Sapphire Miner,,RockMiner NEW R-BOX 100 -110 GH/s ASIC SHA-256 Miner ASICMiner Gen3 100-135 Watts Total,,Antminer S1 - 200 Gh/s Bitcoin Asic Miner,, thats a few i have been looking at , i'm not looking to spend alot of money all at once, but lookig for something i can add too,,Thaks very much for reading , any advice o what you would go for would be a real help, sorry i have not put the pc specs down ,as i cannot seem to find where it goes ,thanks again ,garry.

GPU is dead for most sadly so I would not even use it. Do ROI math but it's most likely is using more electricity then profit. BE usb - The usb sticks are more for show, they will never make back the price even though its cheap. S1 - Uses too much energy There are just a whole lot of miners there. Look in group buy section, and also bitmain. Between those you will find something current make sure to do ROI math. Title: Re: How Good are certain hardaware? Post by: ranochigo on October 31, 2014, 03:04:14 PM It is hard for normal home miners to even regain half of their money, don't even talk about ROI. Those ASIC miner you saw are outraged and used, they can have a shorter lifespan and lower performance. If you are mining as a hobby, buy a USB miner and use it to mine while learning about Bitcoin. Don't expect those to generate Bitcoins and ROI however. Since that's cheap, it would be useful for educational purposes.
