Because most people who are mining Bitcoin with ASIC instead of GPU as GPU mining is completely unprofitable.

Unless you are mining as a hobby, mining with GPU is better suited toward Scrypt, i.e. Litecoin or other Scrypt cryptocurrency, rather than on SHA-256.
If I were to start mining Litecoin or something similar, wouldn't it use my GPU the same way? Or would I be wasting power by ocing it then?

Like a fake bitcoin for hanging on the tree. Does such a thing exist?
Answering my own question here, but I found what I was looking for here: http://www.cafepress.com/+bitcoin+ornaments
Merry Christmas!

GPU OC?  You must actually be bitcoin mining... but with I=20... that points to scrypt
You're in the wrong forum, try asking in ALT COINS, not BITCOINS subforum.

But here's your answer anyways.  Most people UNDERVOLT and UNDERCLOCK for scrypt, since GPU speed is not important, it's the GPU clock : Mem clock : TC ratios.

I underclock and undervolt my 7870 to 845, and overclock my mem to 1375, I-19, and getting about 360kh/s
Helps running temps a LOT, fans are relatively quiet.
I think you misread...I am bitcoin mining, so why would I have to post in an altcoin forum? Also, underclocking is the last thing I want to do, because it will only make my hash power decrease.

Currently have it over clocked at 1030 megahertz, with the intensity set to 20 in my miner. I believe it can go to 1100, but without upping the voltage, it crashes at 1050<. So how much of a voltage increase would I need to bring it to its peak? On a side note, I'm not worried about the heat. Right now it only ever reaches 70c, and averages 68c.

Thank you!

cool. i'm quitting my job at the end of this month, and i'm heading out a bit myself.. but it's more for meditation. keeping up with the status quo won't work for me either. i rahter find what i enjoy doing, and do it.. instead of being a zombie at a job that i despise.
Glad to hear you're leaving the system! A big part of my traveling will be getting in touch with my spiritual side. I just can't find the peace/time to do that in the city. Good luck to you Smiley

You are traveling across American by foot? I would rather do it by motorcycle.
In any case, allow me to suggest that you look at this site https://www.couchsurfing.org/

It might be of use to you.
Well, gas can be expensive over long periods of time. Plus I feel like taking my time. But thanks for the link! Will definitely have to check that out.

Too bad BTC wasn't as adopted yet, because it would be cool to see if someone could actually travel and live off of BTCs.
Funny you should mention that; with the cloud mining I have, I can just have all the bitcoins sent to my tablet. And I make a decent amount per day; enough to feed a family of three. So my plan for the most part is to basically live off of bitcoins, by selling them on gyft.com for restaurant and store gift cards.
29  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Any thoughts on BFL's pay per GH cloud mining? on: December 07, 2013, 02:42:00 AM
I make roughly BTC0.011 per day, just using my 7950. 1gh/s is double the speed I have.

Are you mining btc or a different coin?
I switch between alt-coins, and it pays a LOT more than mining raw bitcoin does for me. Mining bitcoin isn't even profitable for me, as the 0.00004 I would be making doesn't break even with electricity costs.
30  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Any thoughts on BFL's pay per GH cloud mining? on: December 07, 2013, 01:57:26 AM
Not worth it.  If you are in it for money just buy BTC today.

FYP.

BTC mining is lol right now. You are up against professional mining consortiums, mining hardware manufacturers, institutional investors, and razor thin margins in the face of rapidly increasing difficulty. Cloud hashing is a cool way to get a taste of mining, but Im guessing many people will leave that restaurant unsatisfied or wishing they could get a refund.

https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/1-gh-cloud-hosted-bitcoin-hashing-power.html

Very inexpensive compared to CEX.io, with promises to be able to use it towards whatever pool you want. (Or so I gather.) Of course, it's currently a preorder, and BFL isn't #1 when it comes to being on time; so I have to doubt their launch date. Either way, I preordered one GH, just for kicks. If it proves to be successful, I may invest more.

So, any thoughts?

Do you plan to hike any part of the Appalachian Trail? Safe travels, give a shout out when you reach Massachusetts!
I was thinking about taking the trail part way through Virginia. Will definitely let you know when I get to Massachusetts!

That's a nice plan dude! Have a great adventure
Thanks for the support! I'm looking forward to it Smiley

I take it you're walking?  I will be partaking in that sometime in the near future.
I'll be walking for the most part, with possible hitchhiking or train jumping here and there. Good luck with your travels!
33  Other / Off-topic / Re: Traveling across America on: December 06, 2013, 11:00:45 AM
Don't you need some documents that allow you to stay in the United States for a long period of time? Because if you get caught without the documents, you get sent home and aren't allowed to re-enter.
Maybe if you aren't already a US citizen,  but either way I doubt someone's going to ask me for anything more than a driver's license.

WEll good luck, try not to die.
Thanks, I'll certainly try not to! Smiley
34  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin realistically likely to rise to $42,000? on: December 06, 2013, 05:18:44 AM
the "founders" of bitcoin?  Since when have they ever said that .. I don't believe it
To be honest, the article seemed rather sketchy. Let me see if I can't find it...
35  Economy / Speculation / Is Bitcoin realistically likely to rise to $42,000? on: December 06, 2013, 05:15:19 AM
I read an article somewhere that claimed the founders of bitcoin estimate the price will, at some point, reach $42,000. Could this be possible in the foreseeable future/is there a limit to how much it can be worth?
36  Other / Off-topic / Traveling across America on: December 06, 2013, 04:42:04 AM
Evening all!  :)

Sometime in January, (possibly new year's,) I'm packing a small bag and beginning my journey abroad the United States. I've been in speculation as to what my lot in life is for quite a while, and at this point I can't honestly see myself spending the rest of my life doing anything but traveling. It's in my blood. I don't see the point in continuing to rot away at a desk 50 hours a week, making minimum wage, barely paying the bills, and ultimately being unhappy with life.

My traveling will begin on foot in Florida, as I eventually make my way north. Through Georgia, and the Carolinas; Virginia and Pennsylvania, followed by New York and Vermont, and many other northern states. Afterwards I may head west, or, I might purchase a plane ticket going somewhere in Europe.

Wherever I travel, though I'm sure I'll find work, I greatly appreciate any donation, that will be put towards food and places to sleep. If you're kind enough to support me, I'll periodically update you with pictures of wherever I travel.

Have a great night!

37  Economy / Goods / Prepaid visa/mastercard? on: December 05, 2013, 01:15:40 PM
I'm looking for a prepaid visa or something similar that I can use bitcoins to reload. Also, it would be fantastic if it didn't cost $50 for a $25 card. Much appreciated!
38  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Custom cloud mining service? on: November 21, 2013, 12:56:19 AM
Is there any cloud system that provides a custom hashrate, to fit a more affordable budget? Cex.io offers what I'm told to be excellent service, but it's roughly $40 just for a GH. I'd like to go a tad lower, perhaps down to the MH/s. Cheers.

Are you using the GUIMiner-scrypt version? It won't work with regular GUIMiner.
Wow, I feel stupid. Thanks for the help Smiley

Having an issue with the site; I just signed up but it seems it isn't working. My miner tells me it has about 80 shares, but the site is refusing to acknowledge this.



I appreciate any help; this service seems interesting and I'd like to give it a try.
