Too bad that scrypt miners production is somehow on hold.

Wow - so you got your Thunder X6 for free -- as a Gold 1200 PSU would easily run $140 or more (if a good brand).

Perhaps they aren't worth the trouble.  Into storage they will probably go...

I've got a ton of X6 units (4Mh/s 10Mh/s 20Mh/s 40Mh/s) if anyone is interested.  Perhaps I should Ebay them -- US only.

I wonder what they are worth?  Definitely better than the X3s.

I'm not sure what the price per Gh/s on other sites might be, but on Nicehash / Westhash - you can typically buy 1Gh/s per day for .16 to .20 BTC.

What you do with that hash determines how much profit or loss you will have when mining.

You can always buy real mining power from Nicehash at typically .16 to .19 BTC per Gh/s per day and point it at any mining pool you want.  This is the best option unless you have practically free electricity.

I've got a lot of Scrypt hash (2.5Gh/s) -- but sometimes I supplement it with additional hash that I buy from Nicehash or Westhash.  It is a good deal and always makes a good return. 

Steer clear of any site that sells hash, but does not allow you to point it at any URL of your choosing.

Do you mind telling me what kind of miners you are using?

A2 Terminator miners all the way (either 60Mh/s, 88Mh/s or 110Mh/s).

You probably bought them later or you have some connections, otherwise I can imagine the investment. I paid 48k euro for my 7 x 60MH back in May 2014. Grin

yes i do the sycrpt.cc thing as well i had 600k KHs sold it all off left because it didnt feel right .   i honestly wanna get my own mining farm.  setup . i only have the regualar ac plugs on the wall. the ones you plug a tv or pc into.


its not that bad just don't invest a lot the most out of my packet has been 20 bucks tops so if it goes under i will only lose 20 bucks . if you do it like i did it will take a while but there is no lose so far . I'm up to 61 MH now.it does cash out i have taken some coins to test it .

but as they say be careful, this is about the only one i would do or would recommended with caution, don't invest a lot.



westhash is not that great i would rather run two or three days at the same price same speed then run 24 hours. I  some how feel cheated there. but i guess if you don't like looking for prices it's best and also depends on how prices are going .

Ive seen the westhash bot  say i was out of coins, i go look online, I'm still hashing with a fair of coins left . one time the bot took some coins they kept it, told me pretty much screw off .

Oyea and don't just Script mine do both sha256 and  Script you will make more over time.

Just be careful any place.

Buy four A2 Terminator miners ($800 to $900 each USD).  They have everything in one solid box.

Otherwise - for better energy efficiency - go with the KNC Titans -- but beware of the current issues.

@hdmediaservices  but for everyone.

Saw this first thing came to mind was you, so posting it.



nice price or make a offer, he takes offers, with free shipping for a A2 110 MH with PSU,the PSU looks like a sea sonic, i have two sea sonic gold 850, I got a good deal on Amaze for two the other day. they are really good PSU = to Corsair or VGA , so that's a 150 or SO  right there, you may even be able to buy one without a PSU . i would ask if you have your own PSU or can get a better one for less . Smiley.

I'm broke atm or i would buy it .

@ Borgminer  


He's right A2's are your best bet right now. The 200-225MH/s AlcheMiner Scrypt ASIC Miner comes without PSU's, you need 2 to run it, are nice, you can find sweet deals on them, but if you don't want to rewire your house or run one or two 240 lines to run a few and 110/120 lines are poss , but not wise.
I'd hold off on buying them till they get the power usage under control more. I was temped two weeks ago when I saw one going to for $ 999 all most bought it, had the cash then , but the power usage is to much for me + I would have to put out another 210 for PSUs . or USE server PSUs


and i know  spartak advice against  but mining is very profitable if you have the power costs below 10 cents per KWH and have the hash and the room in your home, which i do, you won't get rich but will make some nice change, can even make living doing it, i know a few  on the forums who do and have told me they do.



my thought i never advice against it no disrespect spartak maybe in two years i wouldn't home mine or would,  but it's like anything  you have to keep up with it , if your are going to do it.

Look at this to https://scrypt.cc


I built it up to 57 MH so far i started with 1 MH I keep buying more Hash investing it back in to hash till it reach say 100 to 200 MH then start taking the coin and hope the OP running it doesn't skip before i get something worth while out of it. , this is to me how all cloud mining of this nature should be done not how Zeus etc do it .

 Diff is dropping a tiny bit in 7.6 days or less, may drop more ,  bit coins are holding at 240 or so .

You can find some good offers for A2 Terminator's (I have 7 x 60MH and they work great!) on ebay, but I will not advice you to buy one. Currently mining is not profitable.
