Hi guys

! Today I talked to a guy about bitcoin mining. He told me that if you mine your PC will be worn out. But if I use an ASIC Miner will my PC be allright? Both devices will be worn-out or only the Miner? Huh

I'm new in Bitcoin business. Sorry if my question is stupid Embarrassed

most of use use devices that connect directly to the net with a ethernet wire.

an antminer s-3 is around 175-200 usd

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S3-453-GH-s-SHA-256-/111546707330?pt=US_Virtual_Currency&hash=item19f8b3ad82

this needs a psu and an ethernet connection to run. you need a pc to look at it every one in a while and make sure it is running correctly

Not a bad price for 453GHS : "Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential" 194$=0.61BTC (+shipping), it should earn 0.1732/month (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty)

S5 is the way to go now, S3 is no longer worth it. The price should be cheaper per hash for S5 including shipment.

Note: S5 power efficiency is 30% better then s3.
