Start mined BTQ ... yeah, I know I was late, Smiley.

I thought Quark has quick transaction time(8 seconds?), but when I tried to send 2 blocks to 13GFwLiZL2DaA9XeE733PNrQX5QYLFsonS, it took quite some time to process....

Finally get my rig setup to mine Talkcoin -- just for fun and want to say hi to you guys. Have 2 blocks mined.. but still wait for mature.

It may not be a bad thing. More hash power means more value of this coin, and may be accepted by more exchanges because of that.  I haven't follow up in time when Chris released 0.9. When I got there, the difficulty was very high and I switched to other coins.  Now I am in and able to find some blocks. I have no idea on how quickly you can find the blocks before (Chris said he can quickly find it out every a couple of min when difficulty was 70), but now it seems still reasonable -- I only put some of my 750Tis here, and still able to find blocks in acceptable duration.

You will face the difficulty rise eventually. Just keep mining and get as much as you can before it gets really hard. But maybe around that time, it is your cash out time as well. 

BitQuark looks nice and not like a pump and dump one so far, and let's wish the best future for it. Quark coin is sailing away already, and hopefully we can catch this boat in time....

Is there anyone here who makes a living out of mining with cuda cards only? no ASIC.

Christian? Wink
I dont think so, with things being so new and the development of coins and cheap but powerfull nvidia cards only recently being released. The amount of investment needed to earn enough to live with would be huge.
I think there are a few "big" Nvidia farm (not sure though if they already made a return over investment) but since the new algos are taking off together with the asic moving to scrypt . It could become profitable (if nvidia keep the price on the reasonable side... )


Look at 1gh's HVC mining power in the first week, I remembered someone had 3.4Gh/s farms there. I believe at least part of that power came from nVidia side.  Look at other 'cuda coins' pool, i believe someone may have 100-200 750Ti size cards farm there. 

For established coins (Bitcoin, scrypt-based coins), I do believe ASIC is the future, like it or not.  I got my foot wet by purchasing a Antminer S2 batch 3 just weeks ago, and now battle with some minor hardware issue, but I think it is the right way to go....

Most of us are just geeks with the hope of rising cryptocurrencies, but unless you are a big farm owner or pool operator, it would be too risky to bid everything and make a living out of alter coin mining.  I bet someone may make more from trading than mining. Or the most profitable way is releasing some scam coin and just do pump and dump.  Just started mining back to Jan because of Doge ( I love that community), but I learned so much since then. Now I just follow Chris' summon on new cuda coins, and ignore all other scam coins. I think that's the "true power" of Chris, whenever he recommend something coins, followers like us will devote our hash power to at least give it a couple of days of try.

BTW, if Chris release a scam coin, I will follow.... LOL.

I know the giveaway is over.... and good night Chris. Thanks for all the great work.

I started mining around Jan, started with AMD around that time, and then fall in love with 750Ti.... I hate the heat and noise of AMD so much now. I had almost all brands of 750Ti (EVGA, MSI, ASUS, PNY...) -- that's typical newbie behavior trying to test all cards. Now I may just stay with EVGA if I have to purchase more. Just can't wait for 880...

It is good concept of Talkcoin but annoying just have to pay to talk... saw your messages there and just want to say hi but has no coins yet.  Just got the wallet finally synced.

Anyone has win binary? Downloaded CUDA 5.5 but haven't had time to setup local dev env yet -- don't want to use company box to do this kinda of compiling, :-).

I guess Chris may want to use this one to distribute his killer Greoestl app... maybe password, etc. :-).

Need to report S2 1TH/S Batch 3 hardware issue here.  My first ASIC miner purchase, and you guys had such big name here. It seems that I can never make the gap between Batch 3 and Batch 4 given current hardware issue... :-).  My order id is 00120140427064424805kx9d0G7b0686, placed on Apr 27, you can confirm that.

To be honest, I am very impressed by your fast shipping rate!

 
  • LCD panel not working
  • Never reached 1Th/S, started around 992Mh/S, then displayed "x" errors after 2 hours. Reboot won't solve it. Over time, more "------------" or "xxx---xx-x" shows up, hashrate constantly dropped as low as about 850Mh/s.
