Right now no hardware can make an ROI. Like other posters said the best is to buy btc and hope for it to rise.

Any recommendations? I have a $10,000 budget.

Buy BTC directly, mining hardware are joke. It only profit the manufacturer..

A wooden dining room table would hash better than a Monarch.  Seriously the account had to have been bought unless this is the first visit to the mining section  Shocked

No I literally have not looked at mining at all these past years.

The only time I did was when GPUs were the way to go.

And I understand the issues with Butterflylabs as I've read the many horror stories, basically you get the product a year after purchase.

I cannot believe you're a full member in the Bitcointalk forum with 238 activity, and you dare mention Butterflylabs like they're a legit company.

How much did you buy this forum account for?

Antminer S3 is the best right now, don't ever buy anything from butterflylabs..

friedcat seem to be the cheapest currently. But requires some DIY from what i can see.

Alternative if you want a hitnrun go with the S3.

However.. ROI is unlikely at the current btc price, so you'll have to hope for a rise in value.

ASICminers stuff doesn't use "normal" mining software,I'm not too keen on them for that reason,it's a bit involved in getting it to mine & only at certain pools  Roll Eyes

S3's seem the only decent choice ATM......easy to setup,decent power consumption,ok price.........

With ya on the ROI thing mazedk,just hold your mined BTC  Wink

Personally hoping BTC hits $100 for 6 months..........weed out the farms........maybe  Cheesy

If you are asking which hardware is more profitable compare to butterflylabs, the answer would be every single asic on the market because butterflylabs delay at least 1 year before they ship.
