Hi,
I recently started mining bitcoin with a few asics antminers U1's. I was wondering if buttefly labs were legit, I saw their 600Gh/s cards, butwere only with pre-order... Has anybody bought from them before or pre-ordered one of these cards?
Also what mining hardware would you recommend?
Cheers
Luke

Terrible advice..... At this price, you can just buy BTC cheaper than mining. |

Just buy bitcoins straight up, rather than over-priced, delivered-late (if ever) mining software scams.

I never tell people not to get into mining if thats what they want. You should try answering their question and not tell them what to do. Some people (Like myself) plan on building a huge mining farm starting with a few miners to get an understand how they work. So stop with your "safe" answer and give a real answer. |

I'm not into mining. But what I learned from my miner friends, that it is better to get a GPU rig and join a pool in terms of profitability. Pro-miners, please correct me if I am wrong. |

I skipped the whole GPU mining thing. Mining alt-coins may be more profitable, but it is also more risky. Script ASICs may displace GPU miners on many alt-coins before they pay-back the hardware. With Bitcoin, you know you won't pay back the hardware (in BTC terms).With the difficulty rising so much, it is hard to predict that (on the more efficient hardware) actually. |

Avoid Butterflylabs, it will take many many many many many months before you get your rig, if ever. Same with most places like Butterfly labs, do some intense research of past customers and any scam accusations and you will see. Unless you have many tens of thousands of dollars to throw down on mining rigs, I suggest you simply buy some Bitcoin.

I was at the Inside Bitcoins in Vegas when a very unhappy customer confronted the Butterfly labs CEO in front of everyone. I have to say, I can't believe for a minute Butterfly Labs is delivering expected results. This guy sure was pissed off. I wouldn't buy Butterfly after seeing that debacle. |

Be aware of doing preorders. BFL has a history of not delivering on when promised. The uncertainty of getting mining equipment in future time frame adds more risk to the economics of the mining operation. I paid for a pre-ordered Jalapeno rig from BFL, by the time I got it up and running, I estimate about 2-3 years for that original investment to pay off, or maybe never as the network hashrate rises exponentially. It's better to stick to equipment to be delivered in a short time frame, and buy something that can be paid off in 2-3 months of running it based on the current network hashrate. Edit: At the point I committed to preorder, I calculated a 4 month payoff at the network hashrate at the time. |

Look around and see whether you can find a company who 'under promises, and over delivers'. This seems like a good place to start. |
