Get the cheapest one you can find. These days, it's not likely you'll recover your investment. Might as well limit your losses.

Very nice work. thanks for the effort.

You come to the mining game too late. You won't make it as a home miner. Get some Asicminer shares and enjoy the dividends (for now).

GPU mining is only dead for Bitcoins. There are other coins out there folks.  |

I always used bitinstant because I could do a moneygram deposit instantly and get bitcoins in minutes. Is there any service out there that is this fast? I would prefer not to go to a bank, but don't really matter to me.
Coinbase.com is instant as long as you are verified which is very easy..Also there is btcquick.com which is also easy as pie. No mater how hard I try I can'not get my ID verified on Coinbase. I give them all the personal info they ask for. |

I wish you good luck. I hope you do well. Keep us posted, especially on the gpu mining rig.

Use multiple online wallets for frequent transactions. Never keep all your coins in one basket. Use paper wallets for long term coin storage.

Finding a place where you can run your gpu rig with free electricity (at work, dorm) is about the only option that makes roi sense these days.

Coinbase is riddled with flaws and software problems. The whole site is like a work in progress. I have been trying for two weeks now to get my identification verified. I gave them all the info they require but still, no id verification.  |

These Chinese are playing us like a banjo. Too bad they don't have real competition.  |

This system is pretty stable. Be patient, build you post count and everything will be ok.

Yes you could certainly do that, but the diodes are mainly so the wall wart supply couldn't backfeed power into your PC's usb port and vice versa. Since I removed the PC power passthrough diode it can't run as an unpowered hub anymore which removes that issue. Also you lose a bit of efficiency from the forward voltage drop of the diodes.
Thank you for the reply. I'm planning on modifying a hub myself soon. |

When modifying USB hubs for higher current capacity, you must open the housing and desolder the passthrough diodes for the USB host and short out the diodes to the PSU input. This will make pretty much any cheapo hub capable of running at full power on all the ports (in theory) I modified a Rosewill 7 port hub from Newegg. It came with a 2A adapter which would've only been enough for 3 erupters or so, but I removed the host diode and shorted the DC input diodes. It had four 1A schottky diodes, one on the host side and three on the DC jack. They will be easily overloaded and will burn out or cause problems past 3A of current. After the mod it happily runs four AMUs, a Raspberry pi and a BFL Jalapeno. YMMV, happy hacking.   Good job. Nice to hear the system is working. One question, Instead of shorting out the three diodes, would it not be safer to replace them with 3 amp ones? |

$915 + shipping. Is that a joke or a typo?  |

My feeling is the Blades will be a lot cheaper than the Eruptor combination. Maybe a little more energy efficient too.

I'm impressed at the quality, so far. Want to see more.

Cpu mining is done. Difficulty is way too high now for it to be viable. If you want to use a cpu miner, best advice is to go for LiteCoin.
