Title: AntMiner S5 integration to mining machine Post by: CRYPT on March 31, 2015, 07:40:23 AM Hi all, I've been on a 4 year hiatus; and am just recently getting back into bitcoin mining. I bought my first bitcoins via a WesternUnion 6-day process, while waiting on my ATI Radeon GPUs, 3 of them... looking at an old post, I was happy to be getting 160 Mhash. Anywho, that system was a tower, with a board and slots to accomodate the Radeon GPUs (duals), and I'm just curious if the same chassis will support this 'AntMiner S5'? Also, can someone point me to any of the 'recent' best mining practices. As I know HW technology doubles every 18 months, I'm sure my old rig is well outdated - so, if there's a new way of doing things, I'm all ears.
Thanks, CRYPT Title: Re: AntMiner S5 integration to mining machine Post by: notlist3d on March 31, 2015, 10:14:36 AM Hi all, I've been on a 4 year hiatus; and am just recently getting back into bitcoin mining.

Thanks, CRYPT At this point mining with CPU or even GPU is normally costing more money then you mine. As far as S5 it takes hardly anything compared to the GPU day's. It is a all in one unit. Basically you hook up a psu and set the pools and do nothing more. It's not near the baby sitting you did with your GPU rigs. It will take no special chassis, just a shelf or table to put on. |
