Considering there is very probably that no miner gives ROI in near future, I'd buy 10 BTC and try cautious daytrading. If you catch 10$ price fluctuation, you are 100$ ahead

I agree. By the end of the year mining will be too difficult and unprofitable. Trading will make more profit, at least not lose depreciation in equipment at 50% per month.

Thats insane advice, ant miner is done, Propsero X3 offers 2TH for $5900 http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/
It's without doubt the best hashing power/$ available to buy today.

antminer ships now, Prosperos don't exist yet, and won't be available before april. making antminers muuuccchhh more profitable!

Agreed on the antminers, but you have to be careful to purchase from a known supplier. Lots of scam sites are popping up now selling asic miners that don't have any or just trying to get BTC for nothing. I lost 2BTC last month to a web scam store, buyer beware. Do your due diligence and research the store before you buy!!!

It is more profitable and less works for you to just buy bitcoin directly, instead of buying mining hardware.

Not available till May by then your 2TH unit will make $300 a week mining.

Right now the 2 Antminers will make $320 a week and only cost 2.9 BTC.

Since BTC price has dropped you're really better off buying BTC directly. It's worth buying hardware if miners are quitting and difficulty is going down (which is not the case currently).

Just buy bitcoins. You'll never make money buying asic mining equipment unless you resell it.

I still reckon you should mine alts and change for BTC, then spend some keep some.

Working well for me right now.

Buy bitcoin directly.
Or, build GPU rigs to mine scrypt coins and sell them for bitcoin.

Is there any reason to trust Black Arrow? It seems like an obvious choice if you can trust them, but as BFL has shown us preorders are not the smartest way to spend your coin. Does Black Arrow take BTC as payment or just cash?

Just another man trying to find his way.

I had a friend just invest alot of money into scrypt mining rigs. It seems like it should pay itself off after a few months. Can't ask to be rich overnight. And also, when new coins come out and you jump on them, there is a lot of money making potential.

Instead of buying mining hardware that probably never ROI´s und consumes lots of kw/h, you could buy Ghash on a Cloud Mining Platform like Cex.io.
The advantage is that you could trade your Ghash while they mine for you. If the price per Ghash is low, you can buy. After purchase of Ghash they immediately start to mine for you. When the price per Ghash is high, you can sell your Ghash. Then you had profit from trading AND from mining. But don´t be to greedy, the long term, the price per Ghash goes down. But with daytrading it´s easy to increase your BTC.

The drawback is that you can´t fund with fiat. You have to buy BTC first.

Dont invest in cex.io... ghash.io their pool was nearly at 51% of the hashing power. Thats bad news...

https://ghash.io/ghashio_press_release.pdf

The problem are not the user/customer of Cex.io. Even if there were only a few, Cex would mine for themselves. Assuming that Cex has 1000 TH/s of Mining Hardware and 10 user, then there would be 1000 TH/s mining at ghash.io. If Cex had 1000 TH/s and 1 billion user, there would also be 1000 TH/s mining at ghash.io

Soo winner winner gonna mine some chickendinner coin??

I'm sure that will be a coin soon.

So what you thinking for your 6k??? You could get a fair few Mhash for 6k.

Any thoughts on making a rig?? I've seen some people really go to town making great looking machines.

I still have not decided what to do.. i don't want to lost money.. Grin

There have been very few times in the history of bitcoin when buying mining gear paid off better than just buying coins.

Buy mining gear if:

you have insider access to new gear that's not available to the general public yet
you have unlimited free power and a very reliable internet connection
you love gambling and can afford to lose your investment

Otherwise buy coins directly and do your part to build the bitcoin economy.

I really appreciate your opinion.. you're really so sure that the price of bitcoin will increase? everyone say to buy and hold.. but i am not so sure to invest so much money, for something that i can't control.. i was pretty sure that invest on hardware was better.. but as i say, i don't know if try with antminer, or script rig, or wait some time for watch what happen.. but more time i wait, more i realize i am wasting time..

If you buy mining gear you're just as much exposed to the Bitcoin-price. If the Bitcoin-price drops, your mining output measured in $ will drop along side it.

The fact of the matter is that right now, buying X BTC worth of Bitcoin mining gear will with very high probability not yield more than X BTC of total income. So no matter what the Bitcoin-price does, you're most likely getting better returns from just buying coins than from buying Bitcoin-mining gear.

Scrypt-mining is a nice alternative, but it's also quite a competitive environment, so don't expect to just plug in a machine, fire it up and watch the money flood in. To maximize returns you have to mine different coins at different times. Additionally, a $6K investment means you'll have several machines running, which increases the amount of work you have to do to maintain everything.

Build your own rigs and start mining ALT-Coins and trading them for BTC

OR purchase BFL hardware for BTCitCoin mining or purchase the new top end ASIC (sold out on pre-orders) ..i think*

The antminer is definetly the best choice . Theyre known to ship very quickly and offer a fair price. Youre not going to do much better then breakeven with them but youre not going to do much worse either.

you have nice amount of money! stick with it and wait for next generation of miners (5-7TH) and be fast on ordering!

i think 5-7 th will be not soon aviable for 6k dollar..

Mine scrypt instead of BTC. Cheaper to get into and has a better resell.

Plenty of multipools that will make mining and selling to BTC easy.

there are a lot of new script coin, and sometime someone of them will be a great deal.. and if mined immediately when born, can make you earn a lot...
