30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Will this rig be good for mining? on: November 10, 2014, 09:08:30 AM
Best is to mine x11 algo from wolf0's kernal. But if you don't have that then it is probably better to sell your whole rig and buy ASIC.

Hint: S5 is coming..

33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: October 2014. Are GPU rigs useless? on: November 10, 2014, 09:00:43 AM
Just came back from a 4 months hiatus from the world of crytos. My GPU rigs have been asleep for the summer because of the heat. Right now, is it still possible to use a GPU rig in a manner that will be profitable? Or should I just dismantle them and sell the parts?

Since summer is over, same goes for a lot of people. Difficulty going to increase for all algo. So yeah GPU is useless for mining.

Not the case; I'm turning a profit at $0.11 USD per kWh.

Wolf,
You are a dev with private (read: highly tuned, not available to public) miners.  Your situation is irrelevant and unrelatable to your average miner.  


Now, back on OP:

GPU mining is dead at the moment, but this is exactly the same situation that occurred when bitcoin asics forced out the gpu farms a while back.  Something called Scrypt then hit the scene and GPU mining was back in force.  History will repeat itself. here All of the new attention on crypto-mining has brought even more programmers and academics into the algorithm scene (Squaggle, you there? Grin).  This spin-cycle is real and i'll call back attention to this very post when the next "Scrypt" hits the bigs.

I recommend people not dump their farms if they have 79xx/R9 2xx cards, but that's already happening.  I am not selling a single GPU out of my farm because i know they will be put to use again in not too long.  

In fact, if i had more disposable income at the moment, i would be buying a new rig or 2.  Image how quickly a $100 280 or $200 290 would ROI itself if profitability was there.

Yup GPU mining is dead for normal home user. Unless you are a good friend of wolf0 then you will be the few who is profitable...
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU makes ticking sound when mining using X11mod? on: November 10, 2014, 08:59:45 AM
OK guys, I just tested Scrypt and it works fine. No corrupted screen or ticks whatsoever. Weird huh? I guess it's just the x11 miner.

Again, does anyone have the download link for the older miner? I just want to test it and see if it makes the ticking sound as well.

That is just weird, did you try underclock and undervolt to see if it helps?
35  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Antminer S5 Speculation on: November 10, 2014, 08:57:42 AM
available for sale and in stock on nov 15?  that's only 5 days from now and still no word on specs or pricing?  i guess they need the hype if they hope to sell sell sell.

Most likely a delay, they normally announce 2-3 weeks before.
36  Other / Off-topic / Re: Some Viruses are Bitcoin Miners on: November 10, 2014, 12:49:38 AM
These were probably definitely a lot more profitable one or two years ago. Now they're only around because they don't know how worthless they are. Tongue

When you scale it to thousands of computers mining on their graphics card + CPU, with free electricity... there's no ongoing expense to the mining. Anything you get is a profit.

It's not free electricity.  The people you steal from have to pay for it.

Agree, and it also reduce the life of the CPU..
