Title: Greeetings - new here Post by: SonofBits on May 11, 2013, 10:51:08 PM Hi all. New here. Just wanted to introduce myself. Have my Dell XPS 8500 Gen 3 i7 quad core with AMD Radeon HD 7700 hashing its spare GPU cycles into a bitcoin pool at about 180 MH/S doing my part to increase the Gross National Product of the Block-Chain cyber-collective. A hobby and intellectual curiosity at this point but getting very addicted to the whole concept. Looking for info and tips to build or integrate my own FPGA or ASIC rig and possibly another PC chassis stuffed with used higher-end GPU co-processors. Discovered already that the standard retail PCs are using way-low capacity power supplies which means practically there's no way to use any of the free/spare PCI buss slots without risk of straining and browning-out stock power supplies...

Title: Re: Greeetings - new here Post by: SonofBits on May 12, 2013, 12:56:27 AM Anyone know if its worth while at all to try to put some old XP PCs into mining for the bitcoin pools as CPU Miners?
What even works in XP?

What even works in XP? That wouldn't do you any good, however, you could keep your 180mh mining bitcoins and set your CPU's to mining a CPU friendly alt-coin. K.

I agree with the previous posters... I'd get your hardware to work mining some other kind of coin besides btc... any profits you are making now will be greatly reduced once the ASIC units really start to hit btc mining.

I hope you enjoy your stay here and find it exciting while learning lots of new things about BTC.

What even works in XP? CPU mining for BTC is un-practical. Your electricity bill will be MUCH more than the BTC earned.

Title: Re: Greeetings - new here Post by: dementyev on May 12, 2013, 07:49:09 PM Yeah pre-made PCs from big outfits like Dell, HP and such are always severely underpowered. Solution: order a custom built PC from a reputable outfit like Puget Systems. And research them before you buy, I got raped by cyperpowerpc.com because I didn't research them first, if I did I would have found out that they're shady & shoddy as @#$% and wouldn't have been screwed out of $1300 of a DOA system with multiple components that were totally non functional (thanks friendly/bored workplace IT guy). Of course they wouldn't give me a cent back.
