Title: Hi Pizanos!
Post by: TheRealWeegee on October 09, 2013, 07:02:01 PM
Hi Pizanos, It's time for the Super Mario Brothers super show! (If anyone has seen that show you win an internet cookie)

Anyway back on topic, I'm just a newbie getting into Bitcoin / Altcoin mining for a hobby. I'm currently running two HD6950s hashing away on a couple different Altcoins, and a modest set up of 6 USB block Erupters currently pointed at ZetaCoin. I don't really have any expectations on getting "rich" off of it, but I find the whole process intriguing as a general hobby.

The next couple months do look exciting as far as new hardware goes. With KNC, Avalon, and BFL(should they actually ship something) coming out with new miners. It will up everyone's game not only on the Bitcoin side but alts as well. Watching the markets develop sounds like fun.

Anyway just wanted to say a big hello to the forums, and welcome to the jungle as they say. :D

It's been so long since I've seen that show. Brings back memories.

Welcome, mining is nice hobby indeed. I moved from Bitcoin mining to alt coin mining with my GPU, but I dont feel ready to buy ASIC units yet with such steadily increasing difficulty

Woot! That it does indeed. :)

Thanks guys for a warm welcome. :) I Definitely agree, right now unless I jump in full boar and get a couple 30/60 GH units off of ebay it's not worth it to go ASIC. Even with ALT mining, I'd be paying it off until eternity. I'm hoping that with all the new tech coming out, the older units will get a price drop to help justify ALT mining on them. Even at 17$ the USB Erupters add up quick.
