Title: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 02, 2014, 08:53:00 PM Hello everyone!
I just bought some LTC couple week's ago but i decided to mining & trading. I want to mining a Cryptocoins - No BTC. I readed before about red fury or blue fury but these are to Bitcoin - no cryptocoin's. Is it possible to get something like this (red/blue fury) for Scrypt? If i don't give to you guys not enough info. just ask! Thanks! Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: ChrisArnesen on January 02, 2014, 09:01:58 PM The furies are application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), whose specific application is the Bitcoin proof of work (SHA256). To the best of my knowledge, there are not yet any commercially-available ASICs for the LiteCoin proof of work (Scrypt). Your best bet for mining LTC is a GPU.

But what about "Block Erupter"? Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: jtang on January 02, 2014, 09:11:46 PM hey,
I believe block erupters are also asic chips which only works for BTC and other asic coins but not scrypt coins like LTC.

Hmm.... so what do you think about all this? I'm a newbie. I reading all the forum's about mining but anybody can;t tell you what is now the best to do. I have around 400$ to spend on this - what is the best option to start? I can wait very long to get this money back. I just want to start and after start spending all money to get more stuff... Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: R9Generation on January 02, 2014, 09:25:37 PM Block erupters can be the size of an usb stick. You can buy them on ebay for example, just look it up on google.
Think they are about 20 - 30 USD. I dont think they are profitable anymore. Better buy a graphic card and mine scrypt based currencies.

Better buy a graphic card and mine scrypt based currencies. yeah i see on ebay around 20-30 $ that's why i wanted to but around 10's + hub and start mining. But is i will buy a GPU i need good mainboard and CPU as well ? Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: jameschase on January 02, 2014, 10:22:15 PM Block erupters can be the size of an usb stick.

Yes, definitelly PSU. You dont want to burn all that precious thingies You got there! ^^ Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 02, 2014, 10:33:53 PM Not really, You don't need any expensive stuff other than GPU - which I think You should invest most.

You dont want to burn all that precious thingies You got there! ^^ SO how you think it will be best choice to make a profit? what i said + i have about 400$ to spend so it's not so much.

Anybody able to provide a good shop for USB Miners?! I've got scammed and am looking for a trusthworthy site... NoTele Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 02, 2014, 11:09:30 PM Hey there... Anybody able to provide a good shop for USB Miners?!

Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: colinfx on January 02, 2014, 11:13:34 PM i see in my country 1000w of electric is 180$ per hour. You must have made a mistake there. If not, I suggest you invest in solar panels and sell electricity!! (Realistic price must be around $0.18 per Kw hour) Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: R9Generation on January 02, 2014, 11:14:33 PM Hey there...

No, I dont think so, you can check on any profit calculator out there, just google it. A R9 Generation Card would be fine for 400 $. Get a mainboard with pciE or check if yours has it already. Then a psu with at least 400 w. That would be it for 400 bucks. Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 02, 2014, 11:23:04 PM Hey there...

I have only 400 bucks for everything - not only GPU :-) Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: colinfx on January 02, 2014, 11:31:12 PM I found this article very useful when considering what hardware I needed:

Very good article thanks! Is really possible to make a profit ~1400$ per 2 months?? Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: alose on January 02, 2014, 11:52:36 PM Just saying, I have both a redfury usb and a block eruptor blade and I am looking to sell them. To free up room and funds for another videocard rig.
Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: itraxe on January 02, 2014, 11:57:34 PM U still have a time to get good profit with scrypt
with gpu becose in 1-2 years it will be die when scrypt asic comes and diff will goes up hardly take u time bro Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: colinfx on January 02, 2014, 11:59:47 PM Very good article thanks! Is really possible to make a profit ~1400$ per 2 months?? If it is possible just to spend 50% more (save for a little longer) you will get 200% more mining power with a decent GPU - the GPU is EVERYTHING. Good luck! Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 04, 2014, 04:07:16 PM Hi guys!
I calculated everything and i think a "R9 290, GV-R929D5-4GD-B" will be the best option for me. What you think about this card? is it good? Thanks! Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: LetITBTC on January 04, 2014, 04:20:36 PM it is a hot card, better go with 280x or used 7950, 7970
Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 04, 2014, 08:18:56 PM it is a hot card, better go with 280x or used 7950, 7970 Yes but 280x have only ~780kh/s but with 290 i can get ~860kh/s. Is that right? Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 04, 2014, 10:22:59 PM Hm.... so which card you suggest? I have to spend ~2100$ to everything.
Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Coinonaer on January 04, 2014, 10:24:51 PM I think with this amount of money you can have a good one. Thatīs something, respect. :)
Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: Vesyz on January 04, 2014, 10:31:36 PM I think with this amount of money you can have a good one. Thatīs something, respect. :) Thank's :-) but i don't really know which card i want to buy because: - I can buy aprox. 3 card's 350W each - or buy ~4-5 card's 250W each. What is the best choice? Of course when i'll buy i want to overlock and configure this :-) Title: Re: Newbie / Start mining Post by: jameschase on January 05, 2014, 11:58:16 AM I think with this amount of money you can have a good one.

Of course when i'll buy i want to overlock and configure this :-) I'd go for 3x 350W, since You will need 1 PSU only for that(and 1000W and more are much more expensive) + You have more mobo options. |
