Title: Some information about ASIC hardware Post by: D4rkAng3l on March 29, 2014, 02:53:28 PM Hello to everybody,
I am pretty new in mining. Actually I have done some experiment with my laptop but this is not a good thing (low performance and damage risk for my laptop) I want know if in your opinion could have sense buy some ASIC hardware (I see some product that have a performance of 500 kh/s sell at 70 $) What to you think about it? Is it wasted money or could be interesting? Tnx Title: Re: Some information about ASIC hardware Post by: Wipeout2097 on March 29, 2014, 03:22:08 PM I want know if in your opinion could have sense buy some ASIC hardware (I see some product that have a performance of 500 kh/s sell at 70 $) Hi there! Can you post a link to that hardware?Title: Re: Some information about ASIC hardware Post by: D4rkAng3l on March 29, 2014, 06:57:21 PM I want know if in your opinion could have sense buy some ASIC hardware (I see some product that have a performance of 500 kh/s sell at 70 $) Hi there! Can you post a link to that hardware?oh yes, something like this: http://www.ebay.it/itm/ASIC-SCRYPT-MINER-GRIDSEED-GC3355-400-KH-S-LITECOIN-DOGECOIN-/171281591308?pt=Altro_Informatica&hash=item27e12dac0c Title: Re: Some information about ASIC hardware Post by: toxic0n on March 29, 2014, 07:13:05 PM I could tell you that you will really only get 360kh/s stable out of one of those. Do the math and see how quickly you can get ROI on that.

It needs some serious hacking, finding a proper way to supply power to it, some modded software, I'm not sure. Search "Gridseed" around the forum. You will not get 500 Kh/s out of it, perhaps 350 Kh/s is more realistic. Note that some people are dumping Gridseeds because KnC announced 250 Mh/s miner at $10k. When they release, you'll get minimal return out of Gridseeds. Edit: I don't vouch, even less for a pre-order, but check out this example group buy for the cost and the hashrate offered: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522707.0 |
