DO NOT buy butterfly labs. They are a scam company who have ripped a lot of people off here.
You can probably buy a used antminer s1 from here for $50-$60 USD. You may be able to find an r-Box miner for $40 and a power brick for it for about $6. Make sure to use escrow from a trusted member.

I'll post some links here shortly for you. What is your budget? Understand mining isn't very profitable if you are just starting. It is a fun hobby that can pay for itself

antminer s1:

If it was me I would get a $50 antminer s1 and just have fun. I posted a link above. Just be careful in the Marketplace here, a lot of scammers.

I have seen the guy from that link I posted doing a lot of sales and he seems legit. Check his trust out, it seems ok, but read his notice in his thread about a scammer with a similar name to his. I always recommend escrow by a very trusted member. Like OGnasty or someone of that status.

The antminer s1 doesn't have to hook to a host computer. It's a stand alone unit. Has a web controller onboard.

DO NOT buy butterfly labs. They are a scam company who have ripped a lot of people off here.
You can problable buy a used antminer s1 from here for $65-$75 USD. You may be able to find an r-Box miner for $50 and a power brick for it for about $6. Make sure to use escrow from a trusted member. I'll post some link here shortly for you. What is your budget? Understand mining isn't very profitable if you are just starting.

I suspected that, glad I asked. I am looking to spend around $50 or more if it's worth it, it's not really going to be a hobby...I intent it to be more like an investment that will pay for itself and gain money over time. This first machine will be more like a test than anything. I would like something like the butterfly labs one that is small and can just sit on a dresser or something and run in the background 24/7. Thanks for your help so far.

Also, would the USBs I linked be of any use? I could just plug that in and run it when I am doing other things...right now I've got GUIminer running and using 75% of my CPU while only gaining about 600 KH/s...anything would be an upgrade at this point.

I think only a few like polmine and discus fish are PPS now, but they charge a lot for it.

polmine pps (delayed until block is found, no ripoff) fee is 1% and you get mm NMC so it evens out

i am mining at slush with asicminer tubes (4.2 TH) and i lost half of yesterday payouts due to 20 min miner maintance (not tubes fault). this is plain stupid.
unfortunatelly i am forced to choose between ghash, slush and btcguild with tubes...

I'm looking at this product: https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/10-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html and was wondering if this would be worth the $50. I am CPU mining and getting a max of 1 MH/s, so 10 GH/s would be a major upgrade. I would run this all day, every day, and don't pay for power as well. Can anyone help me figure out how many BTC this would produce? I don't have all of the relevant information, otherwise I'd do it myself.

I also found these:

1.) http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-ASIC-Miner-Overclockable/dp/B00HSC0D3W/ref=sr_1_33?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410075480&sr=1-33&keywords=bitcoin+miner

2.) http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410075575&sr=1-1&keywords=bitcoin+miner

Any of these worth it? Sorry for being a noob, I am new at this.

Please tell us you are joking! If not, NO, NO NO. You can get 3 times that hashing power for the same price ina smaller, more efficient miner, and 5x that power in a cloud miner.

We all started somewhere i myself didnt consult the forum until way after i started mining.  Wish i would have but it made me a much smarter miner.

Account and stat pages down for anybody else?

+1 Down in Texas   but I'm sure the back end is still mining

Thanks, for response.

Checked miners and they all do appear to be submitting. Be nice if they were implementing the new interface they have been working on for what seems like forever.

But the Texans won and The Cowboys loosing so all good in the hood.

Just simply means that the block was orphaned you can follow by clicking hash and following to blockchain it appears df solved the block just a little ahead of slush

Whatever happened to " Slush Pool 2.0  " last time it was mentioned was 9/25/13 has he given up ??

[sjc1490]

That is a good question, from the pics that were on the FB page it looked as if it would have been pretty nice.

[moss]

re: stats pages, etc. - I saw a glitch too, earlier, but has been ok for a while now.

[solitude]

I've sold all my miners and my total BTC reward is just under the minimum send threshold of 0.01 in Slush's account settings.

Is there any way to get this final amount sent to my address?

Unfortunately I don't think so as this has been asked several times in the past.

[bobsav2121]

We are getting beaten to death here !!!!!
What up with these blocks 

[Billbags]

^ It's killing me too. I spent a lot of bitcoin last week. Need to get some blocks rolling here with Slush!!!!!! My varience system of dividing my hashrate isn't doing well with my BTCguild miners either. No luck here or there.

[kkurtmann]

Every pool gets variance.

[bobsav2121]

Yeah but this month on a whole has been bad what with the decrease in payout per block due to the upsurge of users and the seemingly never ending multi-hour blocks   arrrghh 

[mstrongbow]

If you are on a budget HERE is the miner for you...
