Seems all to fishy to me.. New account 3 posts and new account replies.

and for someone doing all this business, why would that email address only get 2 hits... here... in this thread

Awesome!

bfgminer imo was the easiest to get going. You would still need a pool, what I did..

I'm sure you saw that cex.io link above.

Well what I did was download bfgminer
after I got it all extracted is I started bfgminer with

bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dmpotter1361.ant -p x

where you would replace orange part with your accountname.madeupworkername

so i.e

bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u sashab.croatiarules -p x

Then as my local miner also mined bitcoins and namecoins, I purchased more and more gh's.

within bgminer you may need to hit the letter M followed by the + key. Then you will type in all or auto.. it should find your built-in graphic card or cpu to use.

Link for BFGMiner -> http://bfgminer.org/


I guess with your geographic location, you would use uk1.ghash.io:3333

There is also another choice, but you would have to do something for me

but -> https://cex.io/r/0/dmpotter1361/0/

by clicking on that link, I'm making you a referral.
you don't lose anything, I just get an extra % of what you make.

If you create an account there as my referal, I'll give you .1 Gh/s (100 Mh/s) so you can start mining right now.. albeit pretty low until you build it up.

If you just want a simple test, go to bitminter.com

After you create an account .. go to Tools, Bitminer Client.

No fuss

It's java based

Most people eventually use bfgminer or cgminer, but I'm not that good at explaining things for an experiment

No, cubes run independent of the computer with the exception of the small proxy software you run on your computer.

Then with your change, you can purchase antminers.. imo, the price per gh/s on the low end equipment, it's the most affordable.

Those just plug into your USB port and you load software like cgminer or bfgminer to use them.

But what I do, is sell contracts on Ebay, cause I'm a ridiculous whore too

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251429492196?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

The above is me... and see people do bid on that service.. mind boggling. If you can't see that link it's cause I sell only to the North American market, cause even though this is digital thing, when i sell real stuff foreign shipping is expensive.

Yes -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352658.0

keep in mind the one you picked, the seller is in Hong Kong, and China shipping can be slow as heck.

Also, if you don't know how to make a PSU start without a motherboard.. Here is an example of what I did..






Your basically looping the green wire to the black wire. You can use a paperclip.. I used solder and an male connector off of an old motherboard. Cause well, i was bored and didn't want the cat to knock out my paperclip.

You can also order prewired things like that..

Just make sure the power supply is Crossfire Ready, you need 2 of the pcie plugs (6pin things)

This is the one I use https://www.multipool.us/

No issues, just set the limits and the addresses to send to.

I don't want to advocate any of the sellers on ebay, cause lets face it.. EBay can be an overpriced whore with a special package behind that thong....

but here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Computers-Tablets-Networking-/58058/i.html?_from=R40&_udlo=200&_udhi=&_nkw=Block+Erupter+Cube&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=2

This should least give you an idea of the price. Now the optimal thing to do is find a place to trade cash for btc, then purchase a cube or blade from someone in group buys forum.

The average Ebay price for a cube is about $600 USD. I think in btc price it's about BTC.75

Edit: I should add, I like the cube over the blade, mostly cause of the setup. Power Supply (650W+) and Cube and ready.. Blades require some special wiring and configuration.

I don't know, but least we can make polls

LOL 

Seems the newbie board is now archived 

Only advice I can say is go big or stay out.. What I mean is if you try to get little asic usb's and what not you will not get as much bang for your buck.

For that kind of money, I think you should be looking at the 30gh/s block erupter cubes or couple of the 10gh/s blades. The price per gigahash is much better than dozens of 333'mhs or even antminer or bitfury's.

Many people will say don't buy anything, cause your not going to get an ROI on your investment.. but heck I'm an enthusiast and have extra spending cash.. Not like I'm trying to replace a mcdonands job income or something.

I've seen this "fake" hash rate stuff before too.. but then I quickly realized that it wasn't really processing anything, just looked cool.
I'm going to assume you don't have any real hardware and just are dabbling in bitcoin mining?

Man reads like a commercial, many people low post count.. Though I admit the site is pretty looking.. Best of Luck!

Hello Hal

What are doing back there, Dave???

I would like to point out how pathetic mining Scrypt and SHA-256 would be with CPU... I'm not going to say I have a godly processor but 1606 hp/s or 1.6k is pathetic, even a nvidia card would do better. That is unless you are going to mine a specific coin which requires cpu, and those pools usually provide the exe you would need anyhow.

Wow sounds like a Nigerian email... You win big in lotto, just send us $6000 for fee's and whatnot.

Yes it does, but really supported anymore


A lot of wallets will let you cpu mine right from them.. i.e.

Open Console Window - Use Help/Debug


Console Window - Click the Console Tab


Just showing the cpu usage without mining - Notice it's only 0% CPU


Start the Process with 1 Thread (1 Core) - With the command "setgenerate true 1"


Showing the CPU is now much busier 26% and you can see your hashrate with the command "getmininginfo" look for the hashespersec line
