Title: What Should I Do?
Post by: ashpash21 on February 20, 2014, 04:26:06 PM
I am starting to mine bitcoins, I started mining dogecoins a few days ago, but decided to go with bitcoins. When I was mining doge coins I was using cgminer, but now I have switched to GUIMiner as I couldn't get it to work, I am also using slush's pool to mine, I am running this on a Windows 7 x64 with an AMD Radeon 7850 card. This is what my GUIMiner Looks Like:

Does this look likes its working? What sort of money will I be making an hour? And what would that be in GBP, I dont think it will be much but I was wondering as I might consider getting one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Bitcoin-ASIC-Miner-Block-Erupter-IN-HAND-333-Mhash-s-tested-/111281929272?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item19e8eb7c38 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Bitcoin-ASIC-Miner-Block-Erupter-IN-HAND-333-Mhash-s-tested-/111281929272?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item19e8eb7c38)

What I would like is some basic advice to help me get started, thanks! :)

Serious?

You must like wasting time, and you have about the biggest blinders in the world on. How have you not seen that bitcoin mining with a GPU is totally pointless, for a long time now?

You are loosing money right now, there is no doubt.

Advice? Learn troubleshoot with information you find on your own. If you can't do that, you will have a terrible time with mining.

Trying to mine Bitcoin with your computer is pretty pointless given the nominal resources that the average computer has to allocate to mining. I spent awhile mining individual alt coins until I found a multi-coin mining pool that checks to see what alts are the most profitable and automatically switches to that alt coin. AND they automatically convert it to Bitcoin so you don't have to mess with trying to price and sell dozens of alts.

Here's the site: https://hashbros.co.in (not a referral link)

Also, there's an auto daily faucet that pays out bitcoin, litecoin, feathercoin, and fedoracoin daily. You don't have to keep going back to the faucet everyday and there's no captchas to wrangle with. It just pays out automatically. Everyday. I've been using them for about a week or so now. That site is http://www.qoinpro.com (also not a referral link).

Good luck!

Indeed looks like a big mistake as for mining BTC ... better change hardware or coin ...

None, but that is my opinion based on independent research. You need to do your own.

quite cheap are block erupters and ant miners, but they mine you only fraction of your investment

or rent some hashing power on cex.oi
