Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: Equate on April 12, 2014, 02:17:49 PM 4x R9 290, but would actually prefer 2x R9 295x2 due to the cooling issues.. apart from the specs and cooling solution , that cards are sexy too Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: bryant.coleman on April 12, 2014, 03:17:16 PM I never had a mining rig, although I have tried to mine Bitcoins using Bitminter. I have also used CPU mining, to mine Litecoins.

Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: blacksails on April 13, 2014, 09:26:14 AM A 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor. Only some quick tests during a week. However I earned almost 1mBTC during that time! :D
Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: Thyaga on April 13, 2014, 11:05:47 AM Not sure to buy mining rig... just mining at cex and pbmmining... cause I use laptop not PC ;D
Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: mprep on April 13, 2014, 11:16:54 AM Mine was my gaming laptop. :D Not really a rig, just wanted to try out mining. This was back then when mining BTC with GPUs was normal, nobody knew about no ASICs and Litecoin was mined by CPUs. Good times... :)
Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: lepirate on April 13, 2014, 11:47:17 AM My first attempt was using all my laptops.
List: MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Due ASUS-laptop AMD E2 VISION 1800 1.7 GHz (Also I did some mining using my Galaxy S3) Let's just say I didn't become a millionaire. I gave up after a week with ~3mBTC and realized I earned a lot more from faucets. (Those computers however mined me a few litecoins a few months later, yay!) Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ?

Stopped it when new worthwhile games came out and I favored plaing them to mining :p. Now jumped back in with two antminer U2s. Pretty high hash rate to start with, how much hash power one antminer U2 has? Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ?

Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: NihilVidemus on April 28, 2014, 08:42:34 AM Just started! Two Antminer U2's running at 4.4GH/s total. Generates an amazing 13.24 uBTC/hr. At this rate I'll be able to transfer my balance from the pool without paying a transaction fee in about a month. Hopefully the difficulty doesn't go up before then.

Title: Re: What was your 1st mining rig ? Post by: tesene on April 29, 2014, 03:35:02 AM I mined Primecoin with my desktop and then I used a legion of AWS servers while they had a promo going on. Those were the days.

Difficulty will go up in less than 2 days from now. It will go further up every ~12 days afterwards. Well, looks like the U2 will stay plugged in for the foreseeable future then. New hope- that they make close to .005BTC before they stop being able to contribute a non-negligible amount of shares to the pool. Looks like I'll need more hardware to be able to withdraw without a transaction fee anytime in the foreseeable future. |
