keep in mind that price may or may not rise with difficulty increases, no one can predict either price of btc or difficulty at the end of this year, so you can't assume 1.8 daily or fixed 3.75 price

and unless you have some proper space to keep those pcs that would be a problem, noise for one, and count every 5870 as 0.3kWh heater... with 10 of them it is no different than having 3kWh heater running 24/7...

but I highly doubt Ill go from 1.8 btc to 1.4 btc in 1 year with the same hash cracking rates.

you can expect 45% increase in difficulty just today, who knows what will happen in 2 weeks not to mention 2 months or more

Don't worry about storage too much, and I expect some difficulty. But nothing too radical.

(a)  I don't see an acknowledgement that the generation difficulty will increase greatly during that time, and that your projection relies on speculating that the BTC price will go up proportionally.

(b) I don't see the price of electricity in there. Oh, you get free electricity in your college dorm. For 60 computers?

(c) If you live in a hot place, even one mining PC will make the room too hot in summer.

A) Well I am speculating that I will be making $3.75 per btc and the difficulty will increase and your right. The difficulty will increase but I highly doubt Ill go from 1.8 btc to 1.4 btc in 1 year with the same hash cracking rates.

B) I have an idea for it already, and no I don't live in a college dorm. Ill be getting some space for it don't worry about it.

C) The storage area will be cold as the winter.

@clonedone your right, i think ill add the new data to see how much profit ill be getting.

gfx is based on how much money i get, 1.8 btc is depended on gfx with difficulty in consideration.


24  Bitcoin / Mining / Is my setup right? on: May 04, 2011, 03:26:35 AM
I have a 4890 ATI and I am currently at 95 khashs/s (deepbit says I got around 150 MH/s).

I am also running bitcoin regular with 4 kh/s (cpu) barely using 10%.

Right now Im doing the Proportional type of worker for the deepbit because I don't have to good of a GPU.

So I am just wondering If i am doing things right because I've only earned 0.08 BTC and its been like 3-4 hours now.

Also are there any better pooling sites out there?
