how about a microATX Atom motherboard from intel. ASUS makes an AMD equivalent. Look on Amazon or tigerdirect or newegg. Basically it is a netbook without the stuff ya don't need. Uses about 40 watts and has all the interfaces ya need. pretty much a PC on a board.

Josh's bullshit Post of the Day on May 24th was "As for the Singles, hopefully next week... we should have some boards coming in on Tuesday I think."
Another week gone by and still no singles shipped.
IIRC they started "shipping" jalapenos at the start of May. May is now gone by and they've shipped how many jale's? 100 tops?
There is obviously zero bitcoin enthusiasts with a background in Law because BFL should have been taken to court months ago.
Given that a 60GH/s single is still slated to make $10k/month. I'd rethink that statement. Difficulty will have been raised and this machine will be needed just to keep up. |

New Pools are like a Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come." or not. Is it needed? *shurg*. If you are asking "will you get a return on your investment"? To quote Lisbeth Salander, "Maybe". Should you do it? only you can decide that.

Ack!!! Over the last 4 days my Daily reward has dropped 50%. OUCH!!! I think it is time to increase my Hashing rate.

Because I don't have any Bitcoins yet. :p I'm not in a position to buy Bitcoins at the moment. I've only got about 0.01 BTC.

I don't care if it loses money. I'm bored and just want to play on a 1.5ghz netbook to see how bad it really is. Is there any CPU mining software around that will run on Win XP?
cgminer 2.11.4 or earlier. You should get 1 to 2 Mh/s out of it. You might need to recompile it. Read the Windows build readme file. Assorted builds for various OS and cgminer versions: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/I think he pulled the zip files because he doesn't endorse CPU mining |

I really don't think more than US$1.00 / Mh/s makes any sense. Basically, you're deciding whether the power savings significantly reduces your cost vs a GPU. Also you are weighing how long it may take you to break even.
This being said, i'm bidding well above this on ebay(and losing) just because i want one in hand. yeah, i'm stoopid.

hey! I want to buy an affordable miner that earns back itself in a decent time frame, my electricity costs are 0.35$, where would I be able to buy these? Or do I have to build it myself?
define "decent time". |

You don't have the namecoins setup correctly... we should be getting 10x more namecoins than bitcoins, not 1/10th...
Are you submitting all the valid shares from bitcoins, and also the bitcoins blocks It looks like you are only submitting the blocks. There should be about 10 shares valid from each block we are mining. (You know our shares that return as 1.4k/1, 3.8k/1... or whatever the equal difficulty level is for namecoins.)
Namecoins are not supported here. The ones we get are just a bonus due to the way things are set up. (paraphrased) |

I have also noticed a drop in reward - also the Getwork seems to be surprisingly small, especially since the pool as a whole is now well over 11000GH/s now.
Could the two be connected?
I think it is more likely because our slice of the pie has shrunk: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.phpOther pools are growing faster than us. Probably because of all the negative comments. |

There is nothing stopping anyone from solo mining... except their expected life span. No one is forced into a pool.

Beowulf clusters are of no benefit. Using mutiple computers for their GPUs is what most people would do, but they also put as many GPUs in each box as they can. Even old GPUs probably aren't cost effective. Because of the scaling of difficulty, the goal is to get as much work out of as little electricity as you can. One time costs can be recovered relatively easily, it is the recurring costs that are killers.

yes, more or less. I'm sure knit pickers could expand the arguement for using a case.

The screws and risers aren't electrically connected.
Actually, if you look closely at your motherboard you will see where the grounding circuit in the MB does indeed connect to the case risers and screws. As for the open computers as has been said, they are grounded to PS. Paper is a terrible conductor, as is wood so there is no issue. Plastic on the other hand can be a good source of static electricity. |

It's simply because there are no walls to hold in or restrict the air. However I'm not sure how good of an idea an open rig is, because then all the components are much more susceptible to accidental damage.
except that air Flow cools better than static air. it seems to me that a case with air forced to flow through it would cool better than cards just sitting out in the open. But i could be wrong which is why i asked if anyone actually tested it. The hot air it creates rises over the cold air (because physics) and essentially creates it's own airflow. A box disallows this as hot air builds up on the top. yes, but rate of flow is higher on a closed box. the more air that passes over a radiating surface, the more cooling that is done. This is why cars have radiators rather than just let the heat radiate off the engines (aircooled VWs don't count) |

has anyone actually tested to see that their open rigs run cooler that rigs in computer cases with fans in the appropriate places? It boggles my mind that not having a case would run cooler than a case with good air circulation.
