Better hold sometime, until you become sure you know what you are doing. Otherwise throwing money on btc is gamble.

yeah, but buying a moto in this age is also the risk to lose life.

pump and dump some altcoins, thats the king league.

S3 is the answer. Best price/performance ratio right now.

While it may be one of the most efficient it has a higher barrier to entry than some other offerings like the cheap Rockbox gear.  That gear is equally friendly and people won't cry a river if the unit dies or if they don't ROI.

New miners should always start off slow unless they have a friend guiding them firsthand.

Seeing as how you have already been graced by Vod's touch I take it you have not read too much on the forums.  Buy a small miner for under $500 to learn about mining.  Either buy a new Antminer S3 or Rockminer 35GH/s unit.  You can also get a used Antminer S1 for $100.  Learn how to mine and see if you can make profits before jumping the gun.

Hmm interesting.. Smiley  Not sure if that is worth the effort but it is not a ton of money to try and see if you are interested investing a substantial amount into mining.

Mostly that is a lesson to realize that mining is interesting to some and a complete pain to others.  To some the noise and heat is unbearable - to others it's not a big deal.  Sometimes it's not even about the money if it makes your quality of life go down.

To reiterate what everyone else has said:

* If you want to mine, get S3 miners.
* If you want more bitcoins, just buy them.
