What ASIC to go with for 2.5k? (Or less)

[precrime3]

Anyone know if these guys are legit? http://zeusminer.com/s-flex-6mhs/

I assume this is a joke, or you are part of this scam and want to advertise it ?
I cannot believe that you really consider this website could be legit in any way....huge red flags..

No part of the "scam". What huge red flags should I look for when determining if a site is a scam? Just for future reference. Very new to this. Would it be better to make a rig, say 6 r9 270 rig im thinking of making?

where it says preorder.
even if it's not a scam, don't buy anything that isn't in stock now. many of us have learned some valuable lessons with this, as you can read throughout this forum.

IF you plug  in 6000 khs in a calculator at current difficulty, ROI is little over a month, pulling in 1.3k profit monthly. Same thing for there 30 Mh/s version, pulling in 6.5 k at current difficulty. IF assuming they do ship at end of q2 2014, I still think it could hold its ground at what ever difficulty it is at. Deposits are refundable, and they accept major credit cards (wow refreshing) and not just bitcoins and wire transfers (THANK LORD)

take my advice and do NOT preorder anything

BFL preorder.....  waited over 1 year
HF preorder.....  waited 6 months.. still no refund from a registered US company....  nough said

edit:  cointerra preorder....  still waiting..should get something in april...maybe

Deposits are refundable, so I don't see the risk. I'm ordering 2 (12 mh/s) so it should be viable for long term mining should it not? They are no ASICS as of now to skyrocket difficulty right? They all started up so they would all release in same time frame.

waited 6 months.. still no refund from a registered US company....

Alright thanks for the help you guys!!

Seems only the Antminer is worth buying right now and its still not going to get you ROI. Not even after 2 years of mining.

Good luck, buy some coins and hold. Its a much better route right now.

[precrime3]

How about these guys? There shipping now, and in stock, promising 2 week after order shipping date.

at 18% increase every diff, the antminer will earn .5 btc profit in 150 days

edit: that is starting the ant in 10 days from today

edit2:  2 ants overclocked to 400 will earn 1.8btc profit in 180 days  at 18% diff increase...  antminers are what to buy if you dont want to scrypt or buy and hold

I thought your budget was $2.5K?

Go for BTC Dozer 2TH/s asic and report back with your findings! (sarcasm)

Agree it seems a Scam, no real HW partners for the ASIC Chip, also denote the "Very Limited Supply" another Red Flag
Don't buy until they validate themselves with real facts like.

[precrime3]

Okay, guess litecoin rig is what to go with, should do 2250 khs, with 5 r9270, 2700 with 6 which will be added ASAP. Should i choose another gpu?

[GodHatesFigs]

Either buy some bitcoin or get the Antminer.

[el_rlee]

Im confused...

This might help a bit.

If you buy a Monarch you will get BFL'd!!!!!!!

It should also refer to the term "Joshed"

[precrime3]

Haha LoL I get the point, right now there is no legit in stock ASICS... guess DIY it is for litecoin/altcoin

[jjiimm_64]

Sshhh, keep your voice down.  Leave the rest of the ant owners alone, we minin'

antminer s1, too lazy to mod PSU, and ROI seems too long as difficulty skyrockets with the new wave of ASICs to come in upcoming months.

Alright thanks for the help you guys!!

I know this post is 'old', so what did you end up eventually doing?

BTW, from one newb to another, please listen to everyone here and DO NOT get a pre-order.  Just so you know, I bought an in-hand/in stock item from BFL back in November during the Black Friday sales event (a 5Gh/s Jalapeno) and it arrived almost a month later!  And, that was not a 'pre-order'!  Just read out all the negative comments on BFL's Forums and see for yourself regarding delays, etc.

[precrime3]

 I have been talking one on one with Zeus miner over at litecointalk, and they seem legit enough. I will be building a 6 7950 rig, and reinvesting profits into script rigs/asics.

ye big red flag keep away from companies that are just popping out of nowhere hmmmm nowhere
