Hi, I too am new, started mining this year and have been lurking up to now.
Being in the BFL waiting list I have had nothing of much value to contribute, as im still waiting
I have been holding out for some better priced asics but have finally decided to get some of Canary In The Mine.
IMO he has the best priced product at present, especially when you look at average wait times. Ive certainly not seen the AM USB cheaper elsewhere.
My 2 x 7970 now mine litecoin as it wasnt worth hashing btc with them.
Heres to hoping this post is long enough to allow me to PM Canary so i can actually order some product....
An announcement is due from friedcat tomorrow i believe ( not sure if thats just on the .1 miners for old customers ) , but might be worth waiting to hear whats said by him before ordering, but thats up to you.
Hope I have been of some help.
Hope I can PM soon ( hint,hint
)
