Title: Building my first RIG, Help!
Post by: Inicnat on May 10, 2017, 10:26:50 PM
Hi, I would like tips to set up my first Ethereum Mining Rig, but I have little money to start with, what equipment should I worry about buying?

you are going to have to read people's threads.   The Altcoin thread has links to all the previous ones... which give a history so you can look at what the future is looking like.

There are also several recent threads here from the past few days explaining the price and profitability of the new 47080 or 570/80 cards.

You want yo build etherum mining rig , didn't you hear about etherum turning to pos you should target another coin rather than etherum , you should think of zcash better and safe , eth may turn pos at any time before you hit your roi
You better think of nVidia rig.

pos mean "proof of stake"
pow mean "proof of work"
Proof of Stake is a proposed alternative to Proof of Work. Like proof of work, proof of stake attempts to provide consensus...
With Proof of Work, the probability of mining a block depends on the work done by the miner (e.g. CPU/GPU cycles spent checking hashes).
With Proof of Stake, the resource that's compared is the amount of Bitcoin a miner holds - someone holding 1% of the Bitcoin can mine 1% of the "Proof of Stake blocks".
