Title: Another Newb Joins the Movement... Howdy!
Post by: Lightpath on October 13, 2013, 10:39:53 AM
Hey there bit-folks!

I'm Lightpath, and I just got into mining.  I'm still learning, and trying to get a handle on profitability (har har har) and bitcoin mining in general.  I don't have any really solid plans for bitcoin, but I am really enjoying watching the miners work.  I have two USB block erupters hooked up to a pi on my network, and I just ssh into it and use bfgminer to run them.  The darned thing seems to be working like a champ!

Of course I'm not earning much, but I love the idea of cryptocurrency, and what it may one day become.  :)

This is a great board, and I just jumped on my first group buy for one blue fury.  I'm hoping these sticks will work as well as the erupters do.  If they do, I may order a few more!  :)

That's all from NorCal-

Lightpath.

Welcome, you currently mining with your two sticks as much as I half year ago with my GPU. Definitively your setup takes almost no electricity, but I didnt need to buy anything
