I wanna start mining and amkner friend suggested gpu mining. Can anyone help me with how to set one up and start mining coins?

Hello,
I am sorry for this super nooby question, but I just found a Virtex 5 Chip. I got it as a gift from a friend a few years ago and all i know is that he was into bitcoin mining. Unfortunately, I didnt learn anything about it on the internet, as i just couldnt understand a word from the description of this chip. And i cannot contact my friend as well, as we didnt see us for years either.

So basically my question right now is:
Is there a chance that there might be any bitcoins saved on this chip? And in case there are some, how could i get access to them? Or are these chips only micro processors that are only doing the mining work like an engine does in a car?

Thank you very much in advance!

any tips?

Hi guys thanks for reading. I'm new to mining and currently own a msi gaming laptop and wondered if it's worth mining with or if I should invest in other hardware.
The laptop is a MSI GT72 2QE Dominator Pro, with the following specs:

CPU -  i7 5950HQ
GPU - GeForce GTX 980M
VRAM - GDDR5 16GB

Thanks again guys, look forward to hearing back from you.

Spondoolies would be the SP31/35 for a rack-mount unit, which will exceed your target hashrate IIRC in a single unit (I think they were 4u).

 Nobody currently makes a rack-mount miner AFAIK - so you probably would have to go with a rack-mounted shelf setup.

 The only miner I am aware of that used more than one PS in the unit was the Spondoolies SP50, but those are bloody rare HUGE (11 u or some such) and may not have ever actually been sold (though I remember Spondoolies stating that a few had been BUILT, they seem to have kept them for "internal" usage after they got bought out).

 Antminer S3 units would probably also fit your bill, but I'm pretty sure it would take 2 or 3 of them to get to 2TH.
 

Hi everyone, this is my first post.
I would like some information to start mining BottleCaps.
I've already found the pool link, but I can not sync my wallet.
Anyone know how to help me?
Thank you

There are thousands of commercial airline flights in the sky at any given time, worldwide.

But you will never see an airplane in any "space" footage from the ISS or any other "space craft".

Because it's utter bullshit. They better figure out how to layer-in some animated airplanes or they're fucked.

i think this user is copy pasting.

i caught him copy pasting my post.

Take a look at this little story to see what I mean. Back in the 1950s, 3 guys stopped at a hotel for the night. These guys were not together. They just happened to stop at the same time, looking for a room for the night.

The hotel clerk told them there was only one room left vacant. They would have to draw straws for it, or they could share it if they wanted. The guys decided to share it.

The clerk charged them each $10 (remember, the 1950s), and they went up to their room.

Some time later the clerk felt a little guilty for charging them that much when they would be sharing the room. So he gave the bellboy $5 to take up to the guys as a refund.

On the way up in the elevator, the bellboy realized that he didn't know how to divide $5 evenly among 3 guys. So, when he got to their room, he gave each of the guys $1 back, and kept $2 as a tip.

Since each guy got a dollar back, that means he paid only $9 for the room, right?

Three times $9 is $27, plus the $2 that the bellboy kept, makes $29. What happened to the 30th dollar?
