Title: Another new guy Post by: crudpuppy on September 24, 2013, 04:52:00 PM Welp, Guess like everyone else just a introduction and a say hi the newb coming in thread.
I am starting hobby sized mining after looking around for a while. Starting with some USB erupters 2 right now more incoming. I normally am a freelance web developer who really wishes I had heard about and looked into bitcoin long ago instead of just now as I'm sure most who are just entering this area do. Good of entering now: asic Bad: network difficulty making this as a biz not really suggested. I am also starting small gpu mining of litecoins just for giggles as well. All out geek but appears from stuff I seen so far some of you guys are way better hardware hackers then me. I'm more software and do NOT do well with a soldering gun or circuit design. Use and admin Linux machines regularly been using Linux since I installed slackware from floppy sets way back when. Oh and if anyone gets my userid is a reference too I'll be impressed as I've been using it or dustpuppy for years in games etc and no one ever knows.

Title: Re: Another new guy Post by: crudpuppy on September 24, 2013, 05:39:28 PM Welcome and good luck with litecoin mining. Its all we can do with our GPUs when we dont want invest in ASIC rigs :) I started as just a test mining bitcoin on my gpu but soon decided that was futile. I do have some usb eruptors doing bitcoin now as well as my gpu doing litecoin. So got both sides running :-) figured if my machines are up 24/7 anyway which several are here might as well make some money off them when idle. That and its just cool! Title: Re: Another new guy Post by: MAbtc on September 24, 2013, 05:41:21 PM I don't mine, just trading. If I had early gen asics, I'd probably be pointing them at the most profitable altcoins to do so.

Title: Re: Another new guy Post by: Wipeout2097 on September 28, 2013, 03:54:02 AM Crudpuppy, you should try mining the most profitable coin with the GPU. Check out https://hashco.ws and see if you like it.

Title: Re: Another new guy Post by: nahtnam on September 28, 2013, 06:29:00 AM Welcome! I recommend that you don't use your GPU for lite coins...
