So I've looked around in the group buys section, and the blades look promising but I don't know if I need to buy any extra equipment to run the first blade I would be buying, or if I can just buy my first blade, and plug it in & start mining with it. It looks like there's a frame they need to all be plugged into that I'd need to buy first before I bought my first blade. Is that the case? And if it is, then where would I buy one of those, I don't see them available as part of the deals.

All you need is a suitable PSU and a network connection. No frame required.

You also need somewhere to plug the blade in.

Hi, good luck with the group buy. I believe there are good tutorials available in the "mining" subforu, you should take a look. You can also consult with other group buy members to see what they plan to do.

Hi,

I'm new to bitcoin, and want to mine it. In my early enthusiasm for mining, I spent $800 on 9x 330MH/s USB Erupters, a Fan & an Anker Hub on eBay, not knowing there were more affordable options available to me here on the forums in the 'Group Buys' section. Now with network difficulty rising, I don't believe I'll ever get my money back on that mistaken purchase.

So I've looked around in the group buys section, and the blades look promising but I don't know if I need to buy any extra equipment to run the first blade I would be buying, or if I can just buy my first blade, and plug it in & start mining with it. It looks like there's a frame they need to all be plugged into that I'd need to buy first before I bought my first blade. Is that the case? And if it is, then where would I buy one of those, I don't see them available as part of the deals.

Would someone kindly advise?

Thank you in advance.
