Hello i was thinking of buying the Antminer R1 for mining backup equipment of my new website can someone say how much it mine's daily.

I am starting with small miner's and when the investment's mature , will probably buy more faster , mining equipment.

It looks like it mines nothing daily. It's just a curious toy, nothing more. You better start with something like Antminer S5, it's cheap enough these days and it should mine 0.0011 BTC daily.

I actually just picked one up. I've never really been too into mining other than the idea of helping out with the network but I thought I'd give it a go.
The R1 in PPLNS using the custom patch makes around 20 satoshis per block.
So if antpool were to mine all the blocks in a 24 hour period at 10 minute intervals you're looking at somewhere around 2 cents a day (2880 sat).
I might just end up switching it back to Solo mode for the hell of it and keep it plugged in forever. Maybe I'll get lucky.
