With a name like "Uranus", it has to be a joke. But seriously, never preorder from an unknown/untrusted source.
Yeah, I'm thinking the same but I read they have delivered machines before. But yes, if I buy, it will be a miner that is confirmed beeing delivered.don't think you will make any profit from mining anymore
Yes, that seems to be it right now. Unfortunately that page is very out of date, and yes, you are looking at a scam piece of hardware. They don't even list the Ant S5 yet, and they're still listing BFL hardware which I won't even bother to get into here.
With your power at $.12-.13 it will be very difficult to turn a decent profit, although technically you could ROI given enough time. Also in the winter you could use your miner to provide heat in the house which may supplant the cost of your normal method of heating.
Ok, good to know. I'm trying to do as much research I can.With your power at $.12-.13 it will be very difficult to turn a decent profit, although technically you could ROI given enough time.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I have a cold room without any heating, so I have the perfect room for it.
You calculations are largely correct, even for a fictional miner. While you might get a return that matches the cost of your hardware, it won't be a lot of money. The real miners (e.g. Spondoolies, Bitmain, Aavalon), aren't really in better shape for a return on your money. They do exist though, and you will almost certainly receive something real for your money, and in a timeframe that makes sense (i.e. not months).
Ok, "good" that confirms just about what I thought. Thanks for all your input!
So basically the only thing you can hope for is that you mine and maybe break even and that in the future prices go up.
