Heya guys, I have been reading up on your pool here. I am wondering if anyone can give advice to a new bitcoin miner what is the bare minimum ignoring electricity that one might get into bitcoin pool mining with? And what miner would you have wanted to use when you where starting off? I ask this because I realise the distinct chance of blowing doe on a miner that really cannot compete...I don't have any desire to do that.

Thank you guys for any input at all
