1) You can mine with pretty much anything. Check the power draw on your notebook while mining and calculate if you're paying more for the power than you're earning in VRM.

2) I make about 0.2-0.3 VRM per day mining with my old ass Intel i3-4150 PC.

3) I'd suggest you give mining a quick try yourself. Mine at a pool and check what you earn per day. Here is a link to get you started: https://vrm2.poolinat0r.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted

Yeah, but looking at Ebay you can find stuff like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-ProLiant-4x-Xeon-Quad-Core-Blade-Node-Server-24GB-RAM-DL2000-G6-Rack-Server-/142507235303?hash=item212e17d7e7

Now, I don't work with computers, so I'll have to read up on the rack-mounted variety. I'll check the Slack for sure, thanks for the tip!

I'd probably start small at home if I had a garage, but unfortunately we're at an 3d floor apartment. I have considered the balcony though  

Thanks for the cool spreadsheet Kaptain!

Anyone got any experience mining with blade servers? You can get some really nice used ones off Ebay for good prices and I've been checking with some co location server halls (where you rent rack space) and some of them don't even charge electricity, just a fixed fee. The fee is very attractive considering how much power a blade server will consume running 100%. The server halls also got redundancy when it comes to cooling, power and uplink.
I got no experience with blade servers but I'm usually pretty good at figuring stuff out.

The main reason I'm interested in this kind of solution is it will prevent my wife from killing me due to me overcrowding our apartment with PCs  

Hi,

I've been thinking about building something like your project and currently working on a little rig with 14*XU4s in to test things out before going big. I'm in the same situation as you, not very rich, but want to build something to learn and have fun, and maybe even make a profit

I noticed you bought the HC-1 machines, and I was just wondering if you've asked Hardkernel about the upcoming MC-1. If you missed this I feel sorry for you since they seem to be exactly what we Odroid-miners want. Or perhaps you have a reason to go with the HC-1s instead?

The info I've found online mentioned MC-1 release in September but it seems like it's been delayed. I haven't contacted Hardkernel about it yet since I still work on my "standard" XU4 cluster. Check this article out:
https://magazine.odroid.com/article/odroid-hc1-and-odroid-mc1/

Magid is indeed the daemon, the GUI file is called m-wallet. The m-wallet doesn't run in console though, I'm not sure if there is a cli wallet.

Wohoo! Great job devs!

I just found this little video posted a few days ago on Youtube and thought it was worth sharing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUC9d58uoHg

I started mining XMG on my Odroid XU4s a few days ago just for fun and I'll keep experimenting with this for sure. Interesting coin this 

It's a bit hard for me to explain this in English but sometimes the mains power grid "looses" the neutral (for example if a power supply line is damaged or a connection comes loose). On European mains power grid this means you can get 400V into some of your connected stuff. I don't know exactly how US mains power work, but I guess it's 3N~ 120V. If you got some of your machines connected to phase 1 coming in to your house and some connected to phase 2, the machines on phase 2 can get fried while machines on phase 1 can survive etc.

Another thing that can happen that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is a router or switch fucking up and sending out mains power on your network cables. This is very rare of course but it can happen. Lots of the residential electrical appliances destroyed during a thunderstorm get fried from network cables and not mains power.

Again, this is hard to explain so I suggest talking to your power company and ask them if they've had any trouble, or ask a local electrician. The solutions for mains power in the US seem completely bizarre to me sometimes.

Mining on 4 threads and 100% with a Odroid XU4 I'm getting ~15khash/second   Miner is the m-cpuminer-v2 (see below).

Mining on 8 threads gives me ~24khash/s.

Site up now with announcement:


edit: By the way, anyone having trouble compiling the new Verium wallet? I'm trying to do it on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Jessie. I noticed there were a few new dependencies but I think I've sorted all that out.

I'm no l33t_liNuX_h4x0r so it's probably me doing something wrong. Any ideas? The old wallet compiled without any trouble (after sorting the trouble out that is ).

Poolinat0r is back up again now at least. Would've been nice if the guy behind the pool could give us some insight  :>
