I've been looking at an ant miner and a Jupiter KNCMiner .  Any opinions?

I am leaning towards the Jupiter KNCminer, they are asking $3400.00 and claim 680GH/s, it seems like a good buy to me.

You're looking at $5 a gigahash with the KNC miner you are looking at, look at bitmain for the antminer at $3.4 a gigahash.

Also, I don't know of many people selling a KNC miner right now at the price you stated, so be wary of a scam.

Keep in mind too that the Ant's are shipping fast.  You can have one in a couple days and it seems there are always delays with KNC.

I was going to buy from kijiji.  Was going to have them mine it for a bit before I bought it.

Any other suggestions?

$5/gighash eh.. sounds good, Thanks!

Just get 4 Ants, overclock each to 200 GH/s, and you'll have 800 GH/s for less than $2500.

Boom done!   Grin

That must be some electric bill you have.
Do you run them in a data center or a custom home setup?

Just ordered 6 Antminers from Bitmain and 3 power supply units from Tigerdirect for about $4,500.  1080 gigs of hashing power.  As for the heat that they will generate in my apt..........

Time to order and industrial A/C unit as well it seems. 
That will be a beast of a setup.
Happy Mining.

Antminers are ok for now, however you need to check the power consumption as well. If you get a miner for cheap, but it costs you twice the electricity, then it is not a good deal.

So Bitmaintech.com is a good site eh?

Furthermore how long does it usually take for the miner to get to you?

Depends where you're located.  I'm on the east coast of the US, it arrived in 5 days after I placed my order.

I am considering getting one Ant, the question is do you think it will pay itself off? Firstly by pay itself off I don't mean in USD spent, but in Bitcoin spent. Would it be able to make back 1 bitcoin at least?

Secondly, I see a lot of people buying so the diff will go up, some calculators tell me that with a 30% diff jump it WILL pay itself off in 3 months(excluding VAT,PSU purchase).

If it's legit, I'd get the used Jupiter if you're worried about heat and power consumption.  A bunch of Ants will be power pigs.

Do you know if they are sticky about that must pay within an hour?  I sent it from my exchange(probably a bad idea.. o well) and it will probably take 1-2 hours :S.
