okay, thank you

I guess the best question that I can ask then is what do you personally use?

I guess there is just a certain allure to owning your own miner, and having total control of a physical piece of hardware. I have see different cloud mining websites, and was wondering if https://cex.io/ is a decent one.

What is the going rate for a contract if I payed in Doge coin?

Let me preface this with saying that I am a young bitcoin miner, which means that I don't necessarily have that much cash to throw around. I have been mining or otherwise following bitcoin for over a year now, and am thinking about getting an asic miner. I was looking at the AntMiner S1 asics and had a couple questions. I was looking at buying two AntMiner S1s and a power supply for $1000 (suing all of my money) and mining with them overclocked to 200 each. I know that when I plug all the data into a mining calculator ( http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ to be precise) that it says I will break even in about 78 days. I was just wondering if there are any hidden problems (aside from bitcoins fluctuation in value) that would prevent me from making my money back. Any response is greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time. May the blocks be ever in your favor!

Wow, I guess I stumbled upon something bigger than I though xD. However the case may be, I am still in the market for one or to antminer S1 asics, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Im happy I could provide some assistance with the Bitcoin community, and keep up the good work!

Hello guys, Im new to the bitcoin forums, and I am in need of your help. I am looking to buy a bitmain AntMiner S1 and the website looked a little suspicious. The first link ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison ) is to the bitcoin wiki mining hardware comparison, and if you click on the AntMiner S1 it takes you to another page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AntMiner  ), then if you click on the link to the oficial website it brings up this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AntMiner which almost looks too good to be true, but since it was on the bitcoin wiki I want to trust it and not dismiss it out of hand. If anybody could provide any assistance, a response would be greatly appreciated by a younger mining enthusiast! Thank you, and may the hashes be ever in your favor xD.
