Hi guys. That is pretty much my question.
Which firm of mining hardware providers is the best one?

I want to setup a mining rig (I have no problem with a free access to electricity) but I don't what hardware I need to buy. There are so much thing here: Antminer (a bunch of models), Bitfurry and other stuff. I have no financial problems and ready to invest 5000$ into my mining rig. Should I buy China or US made hardware? Which one is the best one?

Thanks a lot in advance of advise

i'd rather choose antminer and fyi wait for a while after halving, i heard that bitmain will release s9, i don't know if its true or not.

S9 had been released and will ship on June 12th, in 4 days. Trouble is it's crappy, why everyone thinks it's mother's milk, I don't know. Bitmain hasn't released anything of quality and value since S3. Their S5 and S7 have sold well but that doesn't mean jack shit. Oftentimes, their gear goes up in flames if you look at it funny. China-built, China-quality. I hope you buy them and your house goes up in flames. Don't blame me, I told you so.

What would lead you to this conclusion? The S7 has been ran by many many people including myself. The S9 looks to follow the S7 so I predict it does well. And it's efficiency no other miner on the market is close to is why everyone thinks it's great. You have to see how it is a big jump in efficiency.

I'm guessing your trolling with the comment's about flames. I think if anything someone using wrong gauge cable's or crappy Y cables is at fault, and cheap PSU's is more commonly reported. Can you point to 1 house burning down due and cause being a Antminer? I just have not seen it .... which again leads me to think your trolling.
