Another noob considering dipping my foot in there; finally got some btc so i've been drooling over ANTminers.. cubes.. oh the humanity!
Considering they will be able to at least be able to still mine the SHA coins for use with trading. That helps with my noob anxiety.
I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there are many new SHA coins and I don't think that any developer plans on making a SHA coin. Considering most SHA coins have been around for awhile and the difficulty is pretty high..
If anything, I'd suggest buying a few video cards and making your own rig for Scrypt mining or waiting for the Scrypt ASICs which will be very versatile and a worthwhile investment, I'm sure; since that would let you basically get rich off of any upstart (not to mention mining say Doge, StableCoins, Mega, Lotto, etc....etc)
