Title: Hello
Post by: Reall Blue on March 26, 2012, 04:26:13 PM
Hi I'm new here and decided to Register and increase my knowledge on computing :D I'm relatively in any standards "all-right" with computers and stuff. I know a Computer isn't the monitor and a CPU isn't a computer although i know a few people who don't know  :D

So I'm getting interested in the know-hows of Bitcoins and the raw computer power needed to generate them ^^

Anyways some more about me;

I've learnt a few coding languages;
Code:
C++
C#
Java
Html (language?)
Php (Small amount)

thats pretty much all. Also my current rig (isn't rig at all >.< since its 5yr old Laptop using CPU instead of GPU) gets around 0.7Mhps (700Khash/s this is on startup)

Basic Technical Lingo (i picked up after few minutes here lol fast learned )

   Startup  = 0.7Mhash/s (Starts very high for some reason?)
   Average = 0.2Mhash/s
   Running  = Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 550  @ 2.00GHz

Ps. any thoughts on a good rig? like hybrid or dedicated? because I'm all for gaming for when Bitcoins hit a hyper-deflation or "off season"

try to install some AMD Cards into your rig like 5858, 5870 and it'll get you running better than you are now

You will probably need a PSU and a better motherboard and possibly some PCI cables.

Nvidia GPUs aren't worth it these days, you'll never make as much as you spend on power.

What you want in an ideal world is a 7970 or similar, undervolt it and enjoy your 5Mh/s per watt or so :D

Oh, and use somewhere other than deepbit, those fees add up :P

Yeah. Nvidia is not good for mining. And those 7970 are expensive and you could get two 5850 and possibly get more power than 1 7970

As for pool, I heard of a pool called abcpool and it has no fees
