Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: P_Shep on October 29, 2012, 09:42:22 PM I think someone just made a blind, massive assumption. Hmmmm? Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: dirtycat on October 29, 2012, 10:13:45 PM holy crap cray is still around I thought they burned up and sunk in the depths of bankruptcy and closed its doors completely.

Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: C10H15N on October 29, 2012, 10:51:38 PM holy crap cray is still around? Not really :D Quote Cray Inc. is an American supercomputer manufacturer based in Seattle, Washington. The company's predecessor, Cray Research, Inc. (CRI), was founded in 1972 by computer designer Seymour Cray. Seymour Cray went on to form the spin-off Cray Computer Corporation (CCC), in 1989, which went bankrupt in 1995, while Cray Research was bought by SGI the next year. Cray Inc. was formed in 2000 when Tera Computer Company purchased the Cray Research Inc. business from SGI and adopted the name of its acquisition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: crazyates on October 30, 2012, 01:09:42 AM I think someone just made a blind, massive assumption. Hmmmm? I think so LOLTitle: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: Starlightbreaker on October 30, 2012, 04:28:43 AM dat shit cray.
Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: bitboyben on October 30, 2012, 05:43:23 AM I'd rather have a million RPis, you know cuz the money goes to the kids...
Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: HDSolar on October 30, 2012, 02:20:32 PM Don't you all realize this is the government attempt to control bitcoin, they are taking over ;D
Love that graphic on the front, must have cost a bunch just for that. Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: davidspitzer on October 30, 2012, 08:47:55 PM I think someone just made a blind, massive assumption. Hmmmm? I think so LOLI think someone was making a joke and you took it too seriously Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: Stephen Gornick on October 30, 2012, 09:33:08 PM I think someone was making a joke and you took it too seriously Ya I goofed. I had several tabs open and was compiling a response to another thread (roughly same topic, asking about "supercomputer" for mining) and posted that response here in this thread. I hadn't even yet read the link from this post as a result. That would make a hell of a mining rig. It will hash nearly 10% of all Bitcoin mining capacity at this point ... so about $7,500 USD worth of bitcoins generated each day!

They need 15 of them just to be able to obtain 51% of the Bitcoin network actual power ;) I'm I wrong if I say that the BTC Total cumputing power is by far bigger than the top 10 world's fastest supercomputer add togheter ?

I dont think I would love to pay the power bill though :) Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: Gomeler on October 31, 2012, 11:25:25 PM It consumes ~9 megawatts to achieve its performance record. That's a bit of a bill to pay.
Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: jojo69 on October 31, 2012, 11:31:59 PM we still outhash it
Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: Stephen Gornick on October 31, 2012, 11:32:20 PM It consumes ~9 megawatts to achieve its performance record. That's a bit of a bill to pay. That must be including for cooling. That's more than $20,000 per day (using average U.S. commercial rates near $0.10 per kWh). To earn $7.200 worth of bitcoins. That answers that question. Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: crazyates on November 01, 2012, 05:07:26 AM It's not unknown that Nvidia cards don't even pay for their own electricity. I dont know why this would change just because you're mining with 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs.
Side note: I HIGHLY doubt they're paying 10c/KWh. I would be surprised if they're paying more than half that. Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: fcmatt on November 01, 2012, 05:26:28 AM What is amusing is that in 15-20 years we will have the same processing power in our homes.

I dont know why this would change just because you're mining with 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs. What's the difference between mining with 1 and 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs? In the latter case, you are losing money 18 thousand times faster. Someone should tell davidspitzer that he does not really want that to be his mining rig =:) Title: Re: My Next Mining Rig Post by: Sitarow on November 01, 2012, 07:15:34 PM It's not unknown that Nvidia cards don't even pay for their own electricity.
