So I'm really new but I'm looking at let's say antminer S3 okay and then let's say a teraminer like an S2 (OR ANY TERAMINER)
Would or should I save my money for a teraminer ($1300-$1800)
So no here is the thing. S3 is about half a bitcoins and your required to buy in pairs so 1bitcoin for 2(I'm rounding down) so at this day about $500-$540 for 2 S3
so
456*2=912gh for 2s3
1tera=1000gh


It seems cheaper to buy the 2s3 (maybe more ) as to the teraminer right?

Or is my math wrong?


They are totally different companies and they set their prices themselves and maybe they manufacturing costs them more or they only want more profit, who knows.
