Title: Hi crowd, it's me!
Post by: stintel on December 23, 2013, 06:42:02 AM
Yet another new guy posting in the newbie forum ;D

I started mining BTC in May 2012, but unfortunately my PC was in my bedroom back then, so never mined a lot. I only had an Nvidia GPU so the amount of BTC I mined is pretty low.
Later I got a HD7970 and a bit later a 2nd one, but I mostly used them to mine LTC. I was able to trade some LTC for BTC, but kept most of my LTC. I was quite happy when I saw the LTC price go over 40USD :-)

A few months ago I got my BFL Jalapeno, which is currently still mining BTC on my UDOO Quad. The combined power consumption of the two is ~45W, which costs me less than 0.10EUR/day, so for now it's still profitable, although not that much. I got it early enough to pay itself back, and who knows what BTC will be worth in time :-)

Right now I'm mostly mining Dogecoin and Fedoracoin with the HD7970's, just for fun. Had a couple of questions about them, which is why I decided to join this forum.

Cheers!
