Anything cheap I just want to learn more and I currently am lucky enough to have a no electricity setup and really just want to play around with stuff.
I don't know much, but maybe a
Antminer S1
Rockbox
Many USB miners?
I want something(s) that combine to equal around 160-180gh/s to play with, so perhaps recommend something.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Honestly you can score a used S3 for cheap. I would recommend that as a cheap intro miner over the S1. |

Try an Antminer U3, very simple to set up, less physical foot print and noise than an S1, and 10% the electricity usage. Hash rate of a U3 is about 1/3 an S1, but it's a great place to start!

I have a hosting customer that's looking to sell some S3, and we also sell server PSUs for cheap. I could see about a bundle cost if that's interesting.

I want to pay with BTC so Ebay doesn't really work . I have a hosting customer that's looking to sell some S3, and we also sell server PSUs for cheap. I could see about a bundle cost if that's interesting.
I would love this. |

Looks like he's wanting at least $70 apiece for the S3s, and probably $40-50 for a PSU that'd run both of them. That'd get you about 880GH for a little over $200 shipped within the US. He's got 4x S3 and two PSUs here.

Honestly you can score a used S3 for cheap. I would recommend that as a cheap intro miner over the S1. I suggest this option. I got a few on craigslist not too long ago. The first was an S3 with a corsair 650w which I picked up for 100 dollars. In my town there are 5 S3s for sale without power supply for 300 dollars for the lot. Ive been contemplating buying it. |

Would he split that to 100 even? for one of them ? |

Would he split that to 100 even? for one of them ? Not a damn bit of my business, but if you can swing $100 try to swing $200 and pickup that deal. Close to 900GH/s turn key to your door (with relevant miners) is not bad at all. If you want to really learn mining you may want to go a different route. I say this because I am a moron and managed to get 12x S1's running without breaking anything or screaming or crying or really any mistakes. I had my S5's unboxed up and running in 5 minutes. Bitmain products are awesome like that. If you wanted to dick around some more get some miners that need cgminer or similar and raspberry pi. If you are an enthusiast/geek you'll likely have more fun going that route. (list to others over my advice) |

Would he split that to 100 even? for one of them ? Yeah probably. The miners are going to be shut off at the end of the month, so if you wanted any I could ship 'em out Monday. Pretty sure I have the factory packaging from the S3s still, and they fit nicely in a box with the PSU. I shipped a bunch of S1/PSU combos last summer without any problems. |

"currently am lucky enough to have a no electricity setup" find out the maximum amount of free electricity setup you have, then spend as much as possible on as much hashing as possible and mine for free. |
