Title: Greetings and question
Post by: ScaryHash on April 30, 2013, 01:24:52 AM
Hello there !

Just joined and started some mining with a couple of radeon 7850's.

Looking to try to decide what to do to improve my hash rate.

I have two computers available, my gaming rig (I don't do much gaming anymore), with the two radeons, and my old rig with an nVidia card in (560 GTX oc, pulling 75 Megahashes).

I'm trying to decide what to do, now that the difficulty has increased a lot.

Do I buy a couple more 7850's or plunk down the money and the wait time for some ASIC stuff??

The basic Butterfly lab Jalepeno doesn't look so bad. In terms of cost, it's about the same as a beefy graphics card, with 5 GH/s (10x) the hash rate. Of course, there are rumors of it being vaporware.

Are the BTC prices these days sustainable? $140 per BTC kind of sounds like a bit of a bubble to me....

If you had $1500 bucks right now, to burn on whatever investment you wanted,  what would you do?
