Need Help Choosing a Mining Rig

[BlockSpoon]

Hi guys,

Me and a friend are looking to invest about $10,000 into a mining rig and I was wondering what you guys think of the following rigs:

http://blackminer.com/asic-bitcoin-miner/black-miner-tower-base-unit-1-2-ths/
http://cointerra.com/product/terraminer-iv-2ths-networked-asic-miner-may-batch/
http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/prospero-x-3.html

Which would you recommend? Also black miner is pretty unknown. I've talked to one of the guys at length on Skype, but wondering if there's any red flags that scream scam about that site/company? Are there other rigs out there that might be a better option with the allotted budget?

Thanks in advance!

I would say that what will be important in the future is power consumtion / GH/S ratio which should be better on the 20 nm chips than the 28 nm chips.

From the models you linked there is only Blackarrow that is 20 nm, the others are 28. Look also at KncMiner Neptune.

I've had a really good experience w/ Bitmain's AntMiner products (both U1s and S1s).  I have no experience with any other products, so can't comment on anything else. I know you can get Ants using a credit/debit card from legit dealers now - you might consider that route to protect yourself.

On a related note, consider avoiding pre-orders - there's a lot of risk (at least for me).

Take a look at some of the picture threads so you get an idea of what has actually been delivered and is working in the wild.


Happy mining.

Woah there killer.. His response was adequate.. Obviously the best one to buy is the one that gets you mining quicker... Perhaps you should not ask for advice if you're going to be a little twat when it's received?

My friend just got a hasher tech 1TH model and it is performing awesome.  I want to do a group buy and posted a post to see if anyone would be interested but Im thinking of getting the 2TH Miner shipping in March.

Awesome as in likely to get positive ROI or just running nicely?

haha he hasn't had any issues with it like he did with his Butterfly miner that was DOA and it is perfoming just under 1TH.  He just got a couple weeks ago said he won't have a problem making ROI. So awesome in terms as it is doing what it said it would lol and didn't arrive DOA. 

Cool. Certainly a better choice than BFL, that's for sure. As for way to maximize ROI, mine the **** out of it for a few months, and then flog at inflated price on eBay seems to be the way to go
