Sad Thanks for all the quick responses - though not what I wanted to hear!!!

Just bought Antminer S1 for £250.  Currently mining at 0.007682/day, though there have been two v long blocks on Slush this week. With elec costs here in UK of £1/day I reckon that gives ROI of 154 days ignoring any increase in difficulty or change in £/BTC.

As you say, more entertaining than profit earning (and talking to a nice bunch of guys like you!).

But I still ask the question - what should I upgrade to , to make some money? 

Couldn't find any info (in English) on Xia-T-Hash!  Anyone any experience of Miners Cube?

Are you really getting .007686/day? Is the S1 overclocked? You may have noticed a difficulty change in the last few days, recalculate your average since the change and you may find it is more like .005/day.

I also got an S1 recently, but mine came from Amazon and cost loads more. When I plugged the power into blade 2 there was a bang and a flash and one of the capacitor cans flew across the room, a new one is on the way but in the meantime I am hashing with half an S1.

Where did you buy an S1 for £250? that seems a great price.

.007686 my running average since 12 June 2014.  No not clocked - running between 175-185 GH/s.  Last 2 or 3 days been pants, but we've just had a 7min block (whoopee!) and 14 June was agood day.

Got mine for £253 inc postage via Amazon sourced from HAD Systems in Germany.  Ordered 9 June arrived in UK on 11 June.  On 11 June Amazon were selling same from Studio K34 for £249 (not sure how much postage).  Just checked - that is now mysteriously £319!!!
