Title: noob question- is it still worht it ? 5770, 7770, 5850 HW mining Post by: n00b2013 on January 29, 2013, 08:07:04 PM hey guys, ya Im a noob and Im also quite late to the party it seems, so figured Id throw this outthere, is it worth starting now ? in the mining game that is
I have a 5770 and a 7770, also have an option to pickup a 5850 at a decent price, but will it be worthwhile ? esp if the ASICs do come out :( kicking myself for being late to this party, Im usually aware of such things :( team question: should I join a pool or single run ? soft question: should I use GUIminer if Im on MSWIn ? XP and 7 noober question: Im still unclear are the results constant daily or luck based win/loose 50 ?? please advise and thank you in advance n00b Title: Re: noob question- is it still worht it ? 5770, 7770, 5850 HW mining Post by: Gabi on January 29, 2013, 08:15:34 PM Mining is not a get rich quick scheme, sometime in the past it was profitable but it was just a momentary thing. Right now i doubt mining with your gpu will pay the electricity cost...
This said, using GUIminer is fine, of course join a pool. Luck? Yes it is luck based but in a pool the variance is reduced, since it finds some blocks in a day, so the results are more or less constant. for example Title: Re: noob question- is it still worht it ? 5770, 7770, 5850 HW mining Post by: n00b2013 on January 29, 2013, 08:24:27 PM Mining is not a get rich quick scheme, sometime in the past it was profitable but it was just a momentary thing.

I tried guiminer, but it wouldnt connect, kept throwing some silly error I couldnt figure, no matter what pool I tried Title: Re: noob question- is it still worht it ? 5770, 7770, 5850 HW mining Post by: AndrewJ on January 30, 2013, 09:33:30 AM started phoenix2 on my 7770, I see about 140mhs, that a bit low aint it ? according to the HW repo on the wiki it should be more like 200 Whats the error? - NoOpenCl devices?I tried guiminer, but it wouldnt connect, kept throwing some silly error I couldnt figure, no matter what pool I tried Title: Re: noob question- is it still worht it ? 5770, 7770, 5850 HW mining Post by: n00b2013 on January 30, 2013, 11:30:51 PM nope, ValueError: too many values to unpack
