Would more than 1 rig add up to larger rig?

Hello All,

Just started learning about crypto currency and mining.
My question is: If I bought 10 rigs that ran at 200GH/S would that get the same results as running 1 rig at 1 TH/S?  If yes, what is the down side?  Just thinking if you can get a few cheaper older models, the price may be better than a newer faster one.

You would have the same output but the drawback is power consumption.  If you have gotten some older gear, run it until you can afford newer then sell the older stuff on ebay and the like.  That way your hash rate goes up and power consumption goes down.
I am still running a Avalon 1 70 gh/s, it runs great but does pull 600+ watts.
Once I can afford an Antminer S1 I will sell this one.

So if I bought 5 S1s, would I get the same results as a single 900 GH rig?

[ManeBjorn]

Mostly and depending on the how many watts the single 900 gh/s uses you may be paying more in electricity for the 5 Ant S1's.
Ant's are nice rigs with a lower power consumption that other similar gh/s sized rigs.
I really wish I could afford even one of the Ant S1's for myself that would be great.

yes, they add up, as does your power bill, space occupied, time spent setting up and monitoring.

the main thing is: are you really considering buying ants, or whatever miners, right now?

if so, your losses will also add up

I would buy an Ant S1 that way I could get 2.5 the gh/s at less power draw than my current Avalon 70 gh/s.
Then I sell the Avalon on ebay and then my break even ROI is only about $400 as opposed to $1200+.
Add in the power savings it is a good deal at least for me.
