What is, in your opinion, the best miner for me to buy with a $500 budget?

I've already got a small LTC rig and some smaller BTC miners, and I've finally accumulated about 1BTC or $500 worth.

Is there a miner I will achieve ROI with for this price? Anything worth buying at this stage in the 'arms race'?

Lol, you need to check the exchanges more often. BTC is $70 shy of $500 right now. But to answer your question, AntMiner S1 is your only option right now.

 buy an s-1 for .54 btc    and hold the .46btc


mine with the s-1  for a while read the down clocking thread on it. and consider a downclock when diff goes to 22-25  diff is now 8.


holding the .46 btc gives it a chance to jump and mining with the  1 s-1 gives you an okay miner .


If you are in the usa and need a psu for the miner and a spare fan send me a pm.  I have more then 1 extra psu that will work with a s-1 miner.

And I have very powerful but loud replacement fans.

Only Bitmain S1 really 0.54BTC for 180GH. It's 2W/GH though but you can mod it to use less power if you sacrifice some GH.

if you have the $500 in fiat then buy straight btc.
if you have it in btc then hold on to them or trade altcoins (very risky).

just my opinion.
