Tried downloading cgminer but their site isn't showing downloads. I'll try again later.

How is everyone handling their miners? I have a backplane full of Erupter Blades and don't know if I can handle any more. Even if another room uses a different circuit, the electric bill is going to be massive! I believe a circuit can handle about 1200 W sustained.
Currently it's about $100/Mo just for the rig I have. Another set will double that and will only make about 0.25 BTC a day until the next difficulty jump.

$75 per day doesn't seem bad to me. Of course I don't know what your investment was. |

I'm starting to sell mine. Just sold the most pointless - the USB Block Erupters. Still have 2x Blades running and 2x BlueFurys on their way. I also have some 'Cloud mining' through cex.io. Once the winter is over, I'll probably get rid of the Blades - they're helping keep the house warm over winter.  |

Pointless, how can you say that. They got blinky lights!!! |

So what is the non-pointless mining hardware now? I have always been small time, but I want to stay in the game.
Ran a trio of 6950s like galley slaves, graduated to a BFL full 60GH single just in the nick of time...it is already making less than the GPUs were.
|
This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

And you don't mine sticking a bunch of cash out for the hardware? Probably a KNC Miner. 500 Ghs for about 5 grand, a little cheaper if you want to pay in BTC. Scheduled delivery in Nov. |

was thinking more in the $1500 range, 5K seems like a lot for a hashrate that will be pretty modest in mere weeks

Sad thing, is that's about your best bet. BFL has new vaporware, others are all kind of having problems with the smaller die sizes. CEX.io lets you buy hash right now and have it online instantly. With the increase in BTC price though, it has gotten very expensive. Small guy is getting worked out very quickly. |

yeah thanks, no BFL, never again, I could have taken the 9 month schedule slippage and 100% power budget miss in stride, but the incessant lying and abuse has turned me off forever
so the dual chip USB furies are already pointless?

The hash per dollar is more expensive than KNC and you'd need a whole lot to get to a BFL single. To each their own, but it doesn't seem like it to me. |

I have 2 BFL singles. Customer service may be garbage but these thing are rock solid. I've never seen any ASIC miner do as low as 0.02% hardware failure rate that bfl is pushing out.

My new jally is running at 0.05% (and that's just plugged in and mining away...) |

What about a used BFL Single? I've seen them from $1,000 to $1,500 (and up, but those folks are delusional), both on Craigslist and Ebay. It's cheaper than ordering direct and is safe for those who don't want to give BFL money.

Well, neither Hashfast nor Cointerra are shipping. We already know about BFL. For $1.500 each I would buy 20 Jupiters. |
