Title: On my way to start mining Post by: tampe125 on July 11, 2013, 04:59:47 PM Hi everyone,
I find Bitcoin an interesting currency and I decided to start mining. As far as I read, I undestood that I should take care of some problems:
I can't do almost nothing for last two items, I can only consider them in my calcs for profitability and ROI. Since I'd wish to use this mining board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179769.0) I think that power usage won't be a big problem (I'll use an headless Raspberry Pi to control the 20-chips version); my big question is the heat. Everyone says that mining produces a lot of heat, but how much in scale from "Damn, I should put a fan here" to "Hello Mr Satan, are you looking for an hotter place" ? And another question, I'd wish to buy chips to create that mining device, it's something tricky, that a newbie should avoid? Sorry if this is not the right place, but this is my first post and I can only post here... :) Title: Re: On my way to start mining Post by: Deathwing on July 11, 2013, 05:53:39 PM Bitcoin mining is not useful these days if you don't have a good ASIC (40+ GH/s) Try other coins if you want to mine :)

I don't want to get rich mining, it's just for some fun. Title: Re: On my way to start mining Post by: ArtsGaming on July 11, 2013, 07:30:29 PM Breaking even with mining is a lot harder now, but if it is just for fun I think it's alright .
