Im just getting into BitCoin mining and was wondering if it would be worth getting the Jalapeno 5 GH/s mining hardware? I would also be getting a solar power setup making the cost of mining minuscule-nothing. How long would it take for Jalapeno to make itself up or is there any better equipment for a reasonable price? All the information I can find is from 6-12 months ago when people were guesstimating difficulty rises, but when it comes to present day I have no idea what I should or shouldnt buy. ANY info at all would be a GREAT help! Thanks!
Solar is not cheep by any means unless you are getting it free. It will increase your capital investment giving you more you have to pay off before you break even. I have a very high end solar system on my sailboat and it works well but not for running heaters 24 hours 365 days a year. Do a lot of research on solar and its pricing and required components and output. Solar is not the magic solution a lot of people make it out to be.
