I'm going to try mine some coins, all i have done is i tested how things are done with my CPU and GPU on  Eobot and Ltcrabbits.

Now i'm thinking to buy miner and what to know what is best option today to have fast ROI without considering electricity cost.


So questions are:


1. If you where buying 1 miner today which would it be to have best ROI without electricity cost ?

2. Will i need something in addition to mine except miner and PC ?

3. Average how long it will take to get ROI ?


I keep searching all needed information about it and will be glad to read all your advices.


Thanks.

1) Well if you have "free" electricity anything is on table.  Just look as some take 220/240 and you might have 110.  You will need to look into this.   Also how are you getting free electricity?  Most someone is footing the bill

2) Proper cooling, area depending on noise, right electricity, internet, etc

3) At this point there is no average.  It is very different for different people.  Look into bitwisdom and do some calculations.

I can plug it on company electricity Cheesy


i cant make any calculations because i have no idea what i'm going to buy


As i saw there is ant miner S5 and S5 +   second has 7 time more  TH  but costs 7 times more so there is no point for me to buy S5+ (and i would pay 3K but it allmost max that i pay so i would need to be sure that it will be all ok if i pay 3k USD)


There is another   S4+ which has 2 TH and costs little more than  S5 so for me better will be  S4+ in this case


are there any other options ?

for me best option is more TH comparing to just cost of device


Thanks.

Yes there are lot's of devices just look over in hardware.   And I would base it off your electricity.

Do you have "free" electricity like you mentioned? Or what is your electricity price?

it is  100%  free



and because of that there is many i don't want to miss something


i want to find best option without considering electricity


first i want to buy just 1 miner and then see how things will go on and after maybe i will buy another one


so for now i'm looking best price per TH on  1 device without considering electricity payment


so far as i see   S4+  is best option for me

if any one knows anything better in this case will be glad to hear

How much free power do you have access to?  When will somebody realize that you're utilizing a ton of their power?  Plugging in one S3 might go unnoticed.  Plugging in an S5+ is going to attract attention.
