Hey, Mining is tricky at the moment.

The answers you need are here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=456691

But with fiat exchange rate the way it is at the moment - you may be better buying BTC and waiting till its purchasing power increases, then order your asic's
But if you want to jump in now - the Ant S1 is probably the best thing out there currently. Rapid delivery - super simple operation and rock solid performance.

Best of luck.....

Yeah, but theres a few factors that depends on the persons situation.

1. NO indivual units like x1 unit can be sold, their minimum that most will not get.

500 units is the minimum, so $155 let say thats still their current price x 500 units = $75,000

(Thats not including shipping, or customs)

I dont have $75,000.

This email is what I received, when I contacted them about purchasing bulk order of 30 units.

Basically +1 to Biontic. I'm currently waiting for a refund on my X3's I had pre-orderd a couple of months ago. Why? Just take a look at the difficultly. You would have to spend a lot of money on a mining op if you wanted to make any sort of decent ROI IMO, you would also have to fork out on a lot of electricity bills. If I was you, either:

1. Buy BTC and hold
2. Buy BTC and trade on high's and low's if you feel confident trading.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at mining contracts, that way theres no electricity costs for you.

Most do a 5 year contract, etc. But yeah, the best is to buy bitcoin and increase your fiat money from your job or take on additional part time work.

Mining directly is zero sum game, unless you do it a massive scale then becomes crazy w. warehouses of miners.

There was a article not long ago about some dude mining 23 btc a second. If I find it again, I`ll link it.

23 btc sounds a little exaggerated, but you get the point he was mining bitcoin like air.

I guess that is the main benefit with a contract is no bills and no work but to be tied into a 5 year contract when you don't know how far the difficultly is going to go up. Doesn't sound like a good investment to me, it's also a lot less hassle to just buy BTC and hold.

23 btc a second is crazy! Yeah some miner on bitminter is looking at over 200,000Gh/s, been at it for a couple of weeks, I wonder what hardware he's using. Must be a pretty big op.

[dumbdragon]

Holy crap, 23 btc a sec?!?

I`d fuken retire so quick. After I buy a pound of weed to smoke to celebrate.  

200,000 ghs, is just next lvl.. people who have money can obviously leverage.. which leaves no room for small guys like us.

He did say he was exaggerating a bit. But yeah thats pretty absurd lol.

I think he means that he has so much hardware that its getting bitcoin like nothing?

[icet208]

23 BTC/sec= 13800 BTC in 10 min:D
that's not a bit
