Title: Best rig, while free electricity is given Post by: kyukhin on October 06, 2012, 02:11:38 PM Hi fellows,
I am considering building miner rig. I have access to the well-cooled area with free electricity. Could anybody advise, which will be most effective solution for that? At the moment I think of 3 Ati6930 cards, spending 1000$ overall, but really doubt Title: Re: Best rig, while free electricity is given Post by: tbcoin on October 06, 2012, 02:17:37 PM Hi fellows, I am considering building miner rig.

For about the same money, you're getting 1000's of times the hash rate as video cards. http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/

He has free electricity, I don't think that worries Xd Title: Re: Best rig, while free electricity is given Post by: kyukhin on October 06, 2012, 02:39:06 PM You'd be much better off going with an ASIC solution like the upcoming Butterfly Labs "Single SC" line of products.

Site says it generates ~800 Mhashes while costs 600$ (+ ~100$ delivery) My estimate for 3x6930 more that 1 Ghash (<1000$). This looks quite compatible with ASIC. I don't care about energy consumption. Moreover (I am engineer in chip-maker giant) I heard from peers, that ASIC chips really vary in quality and cheap one (I am sure, they put cheapest there, just like Apple). While for the rig I got 24 months warranty. So, the question is which would be best solution having free energy. May be I can buy 100 celerons in pawn shop and it would be better? :) Title: Re: Best rig, while free electricity is given Post by: tbcoin on October 06, 2012, 02:41:43 PM You'd be much better off going with an ASIC solution like the upcoming Butterfly Labs "Single SC" line of products.

The estimated date of delivery is early November, there is no ASIC devices available even of any company. But when they leave the difficulty will rise so much that your 6930 will come to naught. Is foreseen at least one difficult x20 http://bitclockers.com/calc/mining_difficulty/61092560/difficulty_change/2/btc_per_block/25/value_per_btc/12.79/mhash_rate/1000/cost_per_kwh/0.0/watts_consumption/1/total_days/90/hardware_cost/1000 Title: Re: Best rig, while free electricity is given Post by: joecascio on October 06, 2012, 02:50:24 PM Site says it generates ~800 Mhashes while costs 600$ (+ ~100$ delivery) My estimate for 3x6930 more that 1 Ghash (<1000$).

Why not get 60X the processing power for just a 1/3 more money?

How does they work? you just plug usb, install software, and enter your user and password?
That "little" single goes to 30,000 mz/s??
