Hello all, so I've created an account and ended my bitcointalk surfing. Anyways, my father is interested in mining from a investment standpoint. I will post in "Mining Speculation" about the ROI and profitability in our new side project so keep your comments hardware based please.
We are doing our research but I have always found the best answers are from those with the most experience. We want to create a revenue stream from mining with an initial investment of $30,000 USD. The parts need to be able to scale to a higher mining capacity once things start up and running with success. Of course, we need to be realistic here and make sure this will be worth our while.
I'd love to hear your perspective on the situation and any advice on different hardware we can use.
Thanks,
Alex
In addition to hardware, you need to think about power and cooling needs. As RoadStress points out, ordering 6 of the SP30s will get you 36TH/s, but that burns your entire budget on hardware alone.
Are you looking to start immediately, or at some point in the future? This will determine what hardware you have available to you.
