Title: What Hardware to purchase or not? Post by: JohnLight95 on December 24, 2014, 01:15:24 AM Hello,
I have a little money that was given to me through inheritance (About £7500, $11,700) and I am thinking of investing it in Bitcoin, I am wondering whether to buy bitcoin direct or buy some hardware and mine it myself, I used to mine with GPU back in the day and then moved to altcoins and I loved it, The whole feeling of just seeing your hardware working. But I am wondering what is best. Especially with electricy costs in the UK and such. I would appreciate any advice? Thanks JohnLight95 Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not?

Post by: Amph on December 24, 2014, 01:58:41 PM the only non bad one is as3(antminer s3, or the new s4, i didn't check the specs for this one) for bitcoin, but even then they are not really great, roi too slow

Thanks JohnLight95 UK electricity charges is not competitive enough, you should just buy Bitcoin directly if you would like to invest crypto. Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not?

TA charters are saying that prices may go down even more so its a great opportunity now. If I were you I would also look around and look at the 2.0 cryptos too.

Buying is safer but mining can be fun as an hobby and profitable if you have a good price for your cloud GHS or your hardware and if the difficulty is not increasing fast.

The S5 is a good deal that will ROI : 19708 USD for 52x1155GHS ;D Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not?

Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not? Post by: sumantso on December 28, 2014, 02:18:26 PM The S5's look quite good and fun! How exactly is it 'fun'? How can a specific miner be more fun than another? if you're gonna buy a mining rig , dont expect you'll earn money from it , just have it as a fun thing and maybe , maybe you'll earn some sweet btc It is possible to ROI with cheap electricity and a little luck. Unless the OP is moving out of UK, say goodbye to cheap electricity. Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not? Post by: Sam the Man on December 28, 2014, 07:40:17 PM buying i agree with
I would be careful about announcing your money amounts though,, alot of peoples ideas may be influenced by it so make sure you know what you are doing is safe first :) Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not?

Maybe he doesn't pay the electricity but its family pays it ;D Is it possible to have an apartment with the electricity included in the rent? Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not? Post by: BTCish on December 29, 2014, 12:46:40 PM buy btc and invest in some good cloud mining site.
Title: Re: What Hardware to purchase or not? Post by: picolo on December 29, 2014, 05:39:34 PM buy btc and invest in some good cloud mining site. The key is to find a good cloud mining site. Mining bitcoins at home is fun but less profitable. |
