Title: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term? Post by: matty521521 on August 03, 2014, 06:01:56 PM From jun 15 to aug 1 I used 229 GB.
What does this mean when referring to a mining rig? Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term? Post by: Xyver on August 03, 2014, 06:35:25 PM GB? Or Gigahash.
GB is gigabyte, which is a unit of storage. Gigahash is a unit of mining speed (1 billion hashes). 229 gigahashes is 229 billion hashes/second. Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term?

Why not ask clarifications directly from the seller? Also what 2.4TH/s miner are you about to buy? Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term?

Also you think i should invest in these for the next 8 months to help with my college payments? Do you think it's worth the risk i'm already $10k in the hole, let me know on what you think. http://gyazo.com/07237070d2ecc9cfe63b2b8a1e9f28e3 ->>>Picture Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term?

Dragons/A1 chips are old tech. It's a suckers bet to buy anything above 1GHs per watt in this day and age. Don't bother with anything other than Bitmain S3s if you want delivery in days... or Spondoolies SP30s if you can wait a month. Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term?

I'm calling college on tuesday to ask about electricity, if it's 100% included should I buy the dragons? If It's only paid to a certain limit i'll buy some S3s? Sounds good?> Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term? Post by: jjc326 on August 04, 2014, 09:48:07 PM It's funny, I've never heard about this possible electricity caps at colleges. I assume it was never an issue but I bet it's a fairly frequent problem now, since younger people are more likely to know about bitcoin mining, and also looking for ways to make "easy" money :D

Title: Re: What does this mean in Bitcoin mining term? Post by: Kprawn on August 06, 2014, 01:03:26 PM Just do not tell them, you would be using that much electricity, until they pick it up themselves. ;D
Hopefully you will not be identified as the "Pot" grower for BTC or are all rooms measured individually? Then you are stuffed. The heat is definitely a problem, if you sharing a room. {Well not if you living in Alaska in winter time, then it's a bonus} ;D ;D |
