Title: Are there any Bitcoin miners out there?
Post by: opiatelover on March 30, 2013, 12:34 am
I'm debating buying an Avalon batch 2 ASIC miner for about 20k, I'm hoping I can at least double my investment in 6 months with all the ASIC's coming out... bitcoinx calculator says I will make 30k in 3 months based on where the difficulty is today.... Especially if the BTC keeps going up >$100

Any input?

I am also planning to do it with this insane prices. I have a core i5 processor will that do on a laptop?

honestly with the new chips coming out you might make 1 btc every 6 months if youre lucky just using an i5.... I have friends using multiple GPU's and are barely making anything. the new ASIC chips are where its at - 60 gh/s is making 4.5 btc/day right now...
