The at home stuff was fun, but now it's just far too risky. Plus all the time I spent tinkering and checking, it adds up!

I've got a few hashlets and it's nice knowing there isn't a fire risk in my home, yet you still get the nice feeling when you login and check profits Smiley

its amazing people have asked me too about the blue leds from the fans.
By the way I have both Fury and a hashlet...
I like the fury most its something that cant dissapear *(hope not for Gaw) but its possible as its intagible..
I don't think GAW will disappear, for the last few months they were constantly expanding and aquiring new companies and domains, building sites and facilities.
Fury won't be profitable unless you have free electricity.

If you're looking to make bitcoin then your best investments would either be buying Bitcoin directly (like from coinbase)or if you want to mine it the gaw hashlets are going to give you more bitcoins faster than buying fury's and a zenminer.

However, if you want some small scale mining hardware....buying a Fury with a zencontroller (or hook it up to an old laptop) would be a fairly cheap way to start. You could also look into getting an old inexpensive BFL jalapeno or one of the newish Rockerminer R-Boxes. They likely wont make you more BTC than if you just directly bought BTC, but they are fun to play with and show off.

If you want to look really fancy (but won't pay themeselves off) you can buy a few Antminer U2's, plug them into a nice looking USB Hub, add a USB fan and some blue lights.  <---always a good conversation starter about bitcoins when people come over to your house

Quick question........

I'm very new to the mining of cryptocoins.  In fact, my first entry was last week when I purchased a few Hashlets.
They are fun to watch, and I'm enjoying researching mining.

All of this researching kinda whets my appetite for some at-home mining gear, though on a minimalist scale.
My question is:  Is it worth buying a few GAW Furies and a Zenminder Zencontroller, or am I better served investing that money in more Hashlets?
Seeking opinions here.........

Thank you!
