Used vs New ASIC MINER

[JohnRaccoon]

Hello guys! I want to buy an ASIC Miner to start mining. But there on eBay are cheap, with a pretty high hash rate and wich are used. I would buy a used one to save money. Should I buy an used ASIC or a new one? And why?  Sorry, I'm new in the BitCoin BTC business.

Supprised they are cheaper on Ebay...

I find them much cheaper on Bitmain, Rockminer or spoodlies.


It depends on what you are trying to do.. IMO mine as a hobby and grab an S3 from kijiji or a "New Rbox" from Rockminer.com

The real question is are you mining for profit (non-existent at the moment) or are you mining for hobby?

If you're mining to attempt to get ROI (won't happen), you need to know what your electrical costs are and factor that into your miner purchasing decision.

If you're mining for hobby just to tell the cool kids "Hey look at me.  I'm a Bitcoin miner!" then you should get the most energy efficient miner possible.  Think watts per Hash, the smaller the better.

Starting out, I'd definitely go used since they're cheaper and if you're getting something small first like an S3 or Rockminer.

The big thing is your electricity cost.  If it is very low you might get a deal on old gear.   If your electricity is higher efficiency on new gear will be nice.

So some can get a deals others will lose money all depends on that electricity cost.

Anybody here know the daily bag limit for sockpuppets? Also, is the season opened year round, or closed for a couple weeks so that they can rut? Either way, I bagged me two today. May opt to mount one. Fuck it! I'll mount 'em both. Anybody know of a good sockpuppet taxidermist?
