Maybe put colocation in the title.

Notice how Powercool is dead last in this PSU Tier list? (click see full content, first post) http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Yeah. Consult that list, and also this one too before buying a PSU in the future: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

I generally agree with that list, but a few of the brands they put on the avoid list have some decent PSUs.  Inwin made awesome cases back in the day and decent PSUs.  Rosewill is on the avoid list.  Rosewill is Newegg's house brand.  Most of their cheaper stuff is pure crap, but the higher end stuff is decent but may have premature failures.

JohnnyGuru is an awesome reference for PSU reviews.

I'll invest in this!

If you're going to hold other people's eq, make sure you have legal contracts and are insured.  If something goes up in flames and you're losing other people's mining income they will go after you.  You are creating a business afterall.
2105  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin-mining by botnets (updated paper link) on: December 21, 2013, 04:22:22 AM
Botnet mining for BTC ended a long time ago (in BTC time).  LTC botnets using CPUs might still be prevalent.

2107  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Has anyone ever reached 1pt/s mining/ on: December 21, 2013, 04:20:26 AM
1 peta or more? If so wonder how many they're mining a day.
Whole network is around 8.5 Petahash and ghash.io is 30% so they are at 2.55 Petahashes

They don't own all that hash, they own an estimated 1PH

Well technically is the card is depreciating faster than the earnings the net would be negative.  Of course with Litecoin blowing up all the cards went into hyperinflation.

You're trying to tell me something aren't you?  Huh
2110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Power Use and Radeon 7950 on: December 20, 2013, 04:08:57 PM
Well the Jalas have no real bearing on LTC so not sure why you mentioned them.

For LTC mining it all depends on what board you have as far as whether you add more cards.  Worth it depends on how much your electricity costs.
2111  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Worst Mistake Ever? on: December 20, 2013, 01:43:16 PM
Unless you can mint a coin in less than about 7 days I would not solo mine.  With 1TH you cannot do that.  Better to pool mine.
2112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: where can I get some free alt-coins? on: December 20, 2013, 01:41:14 PM
Go to the alt currencies subforum and there are designated begging threads.  Post your wallet address there.

2115  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining: Using ATI cards compared to dedicated ASIC mining machines on: December 20, 2013, 01:30:10 PM
Pretty much all Bitcoin mining today is all ASIC (a few FPGA).  Bitcoin started off using CPU, then went GPU in 2011, FPGA in 2011/2012 and ASIC in 2013.

Litecoin became a strong alt as many other alts failed.  It started as CPU mining and is now on the GPU mining cycle.  Supposedly ASIC are in the works but given the way it is computed that seems unlikely.

BTCe is the most popular exchange for swapping cryptos.  MtGox has the most volume but is hard for US buyers to move money out of there.  Bitstamp and CampBX are US options.
2117  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I need a new grafic card! on: December 20, 2013, 01:24:50 PM
Problem now is not the $... it's finding cards reasonably priced.  Find cards on craigslist which are not overpriced.

While most of the users here are not scammers, the ones who answer your post with offers will be.  Use a established escrow here and do not use Paypal period.
2119  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Electrical Concerns for Mining on: December 20, 2013, 01:18:49 PM
It sounds like you're mining in the US, so I assume 110V.  4K off one circuit = fiery death.

The 350TH is probably the last of the BFL leftovers and some Ants/Cubes for people who just had to have mining eq.

But yeah 1 batch of Cointerra smashes everything shipping from June-October combined  Cheesy
