Title: Fury or Blizzard ?
Post by: daupheus on June 08, 2014, 10:50:46 AM
Hi,
I would like to have your opinion plz  ;D and also start mining doge or litecoin.

With your experience, wich is the best for a "noob" Zeus with their blizzard or GAW with their Fury ?

Thank you

No matter how generous I am with the variables.. Buying a scrypt miner results in 0 profit and never making ROI unless you day trade as well.

I believe they are the same hardware or at least very close.  I have bought a lot from GAWMiners which sells the Fury and I have been very happy with the company and support so far.

I have a Fury from Gaw (hosted) and a Blizzard from Zeus.
From what I've read it's pretty much the same stuff, Zeus supplies Gaw.

I've needed support from both companies and Zeus never replied but Gaw replied plenty.

If you read the Zeus thread over at litecointalk you'll see plenty of problems with the Blizzard and the very old 3.11 cgminer made available for it, that might improve as better mining software/firmware is made available. I think it's gona be the users themselves that improve the software for these.

The hosted Fury I have at Gaw came online last monday, a week ago, and has spent probably 80% of that time NOT mining, constant problems with it, always crashing.

Gaw's Fury is cheaper than the Blizzard at the moment, not sure if that's gona last since the CEO of Zeus said that Gaw will have to "fix" that

Given my experience with both companies so far it is very unlikely I will buy from Zeus again but Gaw is still on the table if they improve their tech.

You can go to http://www.reddit.com/r/dogemining (http://www.reddit.com/r/dogemining), a lot of people there have posted reviews about their Furies.
I also have one, and it works perfectly! Stable at 1,3 mh/s with virtually no discarded shares.
I'd choose the Fury over the Blizzard, because GAW's support is awesome. Many members of their team are active on their forum, and quite helpful too.

Same.

That's not necessarely true; only if you think in terms of how much fiat you can immediately get. If you mine and hold a coin which has growth potential, chances are that it will be worth more in the future, thus you'll have achieved a positive ROI. No need to day-trade.

Ask that to the people who mined Litecoins when it was worth pennies.
