Title: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: lunnalee on August 16, 2015, 08:39:17 AM Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: NorrisK on August 16, 2015, 08:45:35 AM I have an S3, 3 7970's, 3 7950's and 3 750 ti's and expanding. I used to only have asics but as the industry continues to act like they don't know how a busines works and scams buyers I will use modular miners (aka gpu miners) and earn BTC that way. Through alt mining with the gpus I suppose? What algo do you mine and how much does a 7970 make a day nowadays? Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use?

Please let us know if you can. Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: lunnalee on August 16, 2015, 11:08:45 AM I have an S3, 3 7970's, 3 7950's and 3 750 ti's and expanding.

Post by: GermanGiant on August 16, 2015, 11:10:52 AM Which kind of mining rigs do you use? hardware mining is not profitable unless u have free electricity. my vote goes for cloud mining instead of mining rigs.

Post by: Amph on August 17, 2015, 07:27:29 AM the last one was hdd mining, because it was basically free in terms of electricity and low heat which is good in summer, but sadly the only coins using it seems pretty much done now, maybe in the future if other coins like that can emerge one can think about returning into the scene
other kind of miners are useless because of high electricity Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: BlackPanda on August 17, 2015, 02:44:31 PM I don't have , i am a trader :(
Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: jonnybravo0311 on August 17, 2015, 06:39:22 PM I have 8 S3s that I run from my home. I also have some cloud mining contracts and I rent hash from time to time.
Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use?

Most certainly not a home miner though... Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: jonnybravo0311 on August 18, 2015, 05:15:03 PM I am looking forward to a new piece of kit as well. I passed on the S5, as well as the SP20 when they launched. I'm still running my old S3s as they've long since paid for themselves and still manage to eek out a tiny bit of profit. They obviously won't last forever - in fact, they've gone about 7 months longer than I anticipated they would thanks in large part to the minimal difficulty changes this year.
Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: trendax on August 19, 2015, 10:59:33 AM Small form factors are the way to go for the home miner, I've had a few RockMiner R3's and a range of Bitmain toys: S1, S3 and S5. I've bought some gear new in the past but mostly now from the secondary markets where people have given up earlier and sold cheap. Buy-mine-sell is the goal for me, typically I have miners shipping in and out of the farm every 8 weeks. Personally I found the S5 to have been the best product so far, only having one board die out a good number units used and sold.
Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: Blawpaw on August 19, 2015, 02:59:07 PM I'm still using GPU mining rigs :)
for now I'm just using them to Fold some coins. But I believe they will be profitable once again as soon as I start mining Ether Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: MCHouston on August 24, 2015, 08:45:50 PM For BTC I have S2, S3, S3+, S4, S5, C1, SP20E, BTC Garden AM V2, Bitmine Desk V2, and some S1's on for memories since they were my first miners I purchased off ebay when I first started.
Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: j33hopper on August 24, 2015, 09:36:22 PM I have 3x Sp35 Yukons hosted at a Data Center(oregonMines). I also dabbled in some cloud mining at Genesis and Zeushash. I find both not to be profitable at all. They take too much out for maintenance fees, so its just not feasible with BTC being the price it is. Ill get my ROI back eventually, but its going to take over a year. The Yukons on the other hand are BTC making machines.
Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: eyeknock on August 26, 2015, 11:33:04 AM i used hdd mining rigs because i can't afford the energy consumed, here is my country is so expensive so i need to find a cheap way to mine.
i wish to have cheap energy to build a little rig with some s5 maybe since they have less consume than s4 or s3, but is not the case. Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: aakashsangwan on August 29, 2015, 05:18:20 AM I have around 10 usb asics mining solo, so far no block is found but i don't care about it because only negligible electricity is used in it.
But if 1 day i find a block or two then i'll be on the seventh heaven and will buy some block erupters or s5's and also mine solo with those too. Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: ZeroKool on August 31, 2015, 06:37:00 PM I am currently running 4 Antminer S4's, 8 Antminer S2's, 6 Antminer C1's, 5 Antminer S3's mining for Bitcoin/Namecoin @ 24TH. For scrypt mining I am attempting to set up 4 Zeus falcons. I have just pre ordered a M20 from YesMiners that is supposed to hash at 20Th, expecting January 2016 delivery from Germany.

Title: Re: Which kind of mining rigs do you use? Post by: RichBC on September 02, 2015, 07:17:06 AM Only mining for a few Weeks, so very late to this game, treating it as a hobby as opposed to a get rich quick scheme, and am righting off the harware costs but trying to make more than the electricity costs. Very happy with Bitmain, all bought second hand.
An S1 for the initial learning, cannot make more than the electricity cost even with the pencil mod. An S3 & an S3+ with undervolting am at about break even with the electricity cost on these. A couple of S5 which running at the rated frequency & voltage I can make about 70p a Day at the moment. Looking into undervolting the S5's and then may just still be profitable after Bitcoin halving. Just bought a second Hand Gridseed Blade to have a play with Scrypt. Addictive things these new Hobbies. :) Rich |
