In my opinion, I suggest you GAWminers, they have hashlets, better than any actual cloud mining system here and about the same as LTCgear. Click the link on my signature and make a little tour on the website, youll see its easy to understand and fun to with gawminers. If you are into gawminers, I suggest to subscribe on hashtalk.org since its the official gawminers forum and you can talk to the founders too. Title: Re: Making bitcoin mining rig Newbie alert!

Don't waste your time thinking about putting together a rig with multiple graphics cards - that ship sailed over a year ago.

If you have free power and your place is cold you will get some heat. So first question is where do you live? Lets say it is a place that is cold Canada or Michigan, USA Or Maine, USA Lets say you want the free heat. buy some antminer s-1's, one to start they can be found for under 100 usd on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/antminer-s1-/191331866843?pt=US_Virtual_Currency&hash=item2c8c4498db http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S1-Ships-Smart-Shipping-180-to-200-GHS-Bitcoin-excellent-deal-/261594109045?pt=US_Virtual_Currency&hash=item3ce8395475 I do not know the sellers but the prices are decent if your power is free and you need some heat, buy just 1 to start.

Post by: xstr8guy on September 20, 2014, 11:15:34 AM My country is cold, for sure i have 6x52" fan with good power that i could use for if its get to hot my concern is that like some said using or buying alot of graphic cards is quite last years i have storage rackets that i can build from, alot of DDR chips / could need more powersupplies but thats no problem, if someone is interested to be a part of this he can contact me in message box, could have skype call about it, i think its great oppurtinity as i´m getting free electricty why not mine cryptocurrency What good are "DDR chips" for mining BTC? You can't build a bitcoin miner from scratch, lol. Well you theoretically can if you have several million dollars to spend. Title: Re: Making bitcoin mining rig Newbie alert!

Gold will be worth more than BTC for a long time to come! |
