Title: how to achieve 40000 kh/s while mining scrypt based coins like ltc and mnc?
Post by: dolfcao on April 24, 2013, 02:51:23 AM
Hi guys,
I'm wondering how to achieve 40000 kh/s while mining scrypt based coins like litecoin, as I know for sha256 based coins like btc there are mining machine like BFL and avalon which provide many Gh/s, but for scrypt based coins how could i achieve about 40 Mh/s? As I see in some ming pool, some users have 18000kh/s or 39000 kh/s, how these mining rigs have been setup?

Any one could help?

They are farming multiple machines under the same payout hash or the same worker ID/login.

thanks, it seems that I can't deploy my own mining farm, there is no way to rise my mining speed, right now I only get 500kh/s.

Per video card. Build another PC and put 4 7950s in it and you'll add another 2MH/s or so. :) If you want 40Mh/s on LTC, you'd need ballpark 80 7950 video cards (at 500KH/s each).

I think it's a disaster, do u mean thoese guys with 39000kh/s have so many ATI 7950? Have u see any one who has so many video cards? I think it's not a good idea.

There are people with really large GPU farms out there. Might not be a good idea any more. But a year ago when difficulty was much lower before BTC shot to $250? They probably all made a fortune in hindsight.

Well, it's "only" like 11 rigs with 5x7970. I don't see it anyhow impossible for a one person to have 40Mhs of scrypt speed. I personally built 10Mhs worth of rigs during three weeks.

lol, I saw miner with 150,000kH/s last week, now he has 200,000 kH/s
could someone explain me this?
(LTC mining)

He probably added a couple of miners to his setup.

Mining coins is all about investing in hardware (buying videocards for LTC or ASICs for BTC) and hoping that the price of the coins will go up in the future so that the value of the mined coins will be worth more than the cost of the mining rigs.
