Hey guys,

I am brand new to this forum-site, but am reading a lot because i want to know if it is still proffitable starting mining right now?
I do a lot of research of different miners but can't seem to find the proper gear to start.
What if i have a budget of around 5K USD. Can somebody tell me what is best to start with?
I saw the Zeus Volcano, but also read some articles of the KNC titans.
I now only look at scrypt mining because of some scrypt-coin calculations i made, i think this is more profitable then SHA-256 mining.
Right now i pay 0,24 cents for current.....(yes i know it is a lot)
But when i check out the mining-calculators on coinwarz.com some of the scrypt coins are still quite profitable....

What can you guys tell me, inform me, teach me?
Because i can't seem to contact zeusminer.com and at the site of KnC i can't seem to find the miners.....

Please let me know what you think (maybe i look at it wrongly and can someone steer me in the right direction)

Many thanks in advance.

You have a lot of research to do. KNC and Zeus are long gone, neither make scrypt hardware anymore. Zeus was first gen scrypt and those chips are no longer profitable. Your best bet for "new" hardware is Innosilicon, with their A2 stuff. Otherwise you can pick up used Titans which offer the best efficiency of whatever is out there currently.

Thanks jstefanop!

i know i'll have a lot of research to do and hoping to find a lot of it here on the forum.
I read that the a2 from innosilicon is almost the same as old zeus hardware. They offer only the a2 farm boy right now.....not shure if anything will come out new next year...

What are your personal thoughts on starting mining now? and what gear would you use for that?
(gpu, asics or just trade for example)

GPU mining is over
ASIC mining still profitable outside EU or JP country, where electricity is cheap...
maybe the best choice now, it is to buy directly and trade coins.
