Nice temps for 7990s.  If I tried that here in Southern California they would be running in the 80's in winter and melt in the summer.

 This makes it a little safer when dealing with high current, no chance of creating an arc flash by tripping over the cord and ripping it out of the socket while under load.


Not to mention the weight of the 10-3 so cord pulling it out by itself



Been there done that  Shocked

The realtime updates is useless since unless you're doing arbitrage on multiple exchanges you can't sell the coins as quickly as they come/go out of favor.  Either use an automated miner switcher or just stick to 1 or 2 coins.

16x, 1x, doesnt matter as far as mining speed or power goes.

I know.But will I get full hashing power while running a x16 card in x1 slot?
Yes, bitcoin mining uses very little pcie bandwidth.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Nope, they're scam too.  Long since confirmed.
2228  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL Product Failures / Underperformance. on: December 10, 2013, 01:16:24 PM
I currently have 9 BFL 60GH singles running.  I had 10 but 1 caught fire offsite - pretty much a total loss.

3 of the Singles are now being powered by ATX PSUs because the BFL supplied PSUs have died.  One died 3 days ago - that too caught on fire but extinguished very quickly.

So for 20 components, we have 1 miner failure and 3 PSU failures. 4/20 failures. This is not counting my day 1 original Single which died after 6.5 days of use.  The RMAed unit seems to be doing much better fortunately.  If I include that it's 5/21 failures.

Only reason I keep using the BFL PSUs is because I want to see how many will die in before year end.  I have 3 ATX PSUs sitting idle but I just wanna watch this Hindenburg.

Even worse for 110V with crappy wiring - no hope of running a Naptune
there's a 220V plug at electric dryer hookups and central ac units in US. I guess it will need additional wiring.

The second I interfere with the dryer by unplugging it my wife would give me an earful.

If you mine inside the case the top card will die in a week.

If you mine outside the case it might be viable if you live in a very cold area.

Ditch the case, buy a riser to keep the card separated.  Maybe a little overkill on the PSU unless you're going to mine with 3 cards undervolted.

I mined with a nvidia GTX460SE that did 40MH/s when I first started, but that was in 2011.

At 130MH/s you should be getting about 2 shares a minute at standard difficulty (about 1 share for every 71MH/s).

You should understand GUIMiner is an ancient program that is not maintained.  I don't think anybody can help since they moved off that program long ago.

Try googling middlecoin and mine LTC with that - it automatically gets converted to BTC for a 4% fee.  Probably a lot better option for you than mining BTC at effectively a 99.99% fee considering difficulty.

Either way you really should learn just the very basics of CGMiner, or download GUIMiner for scrypt and try that middlecoin thing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150331.0

I think most local sellers would only want to deal with cash since MO and checks are traceable.

You could trying posting in the marketplace and use an escrow.

The newbie jail is awesome.. hopefully they scare a lot of jackasses away.

If you're US based you can try CampBX as an alternative to Coinbase.  Slower to fund with Money Order, but I haven't heard too many complaints.  I have an account but haven't bothered to trade or get verified there.

I do not mean this to sound as criticism but guiding advice:

Do not mine BTC with a video card.  You're 130MH/s won't even pay for the wear & tear on your card - let alone the free electricity.

If you want to mine with a GPU, mine a scrypt based coin.   Go to the alternative currency section of the board and learn how.  You will need to use CGMiner most likely, but you can get away with the modified GUIMiner scrypt version if you absolutely have to use a GUI.

If you want to get serious, you need to learn how to write a basic batch (.bat) file.


A simple GPU putting out 130MH/s can make some decent play money, but not by mining Bitcoin... that boat sailed earlier this year.

LTC gained some traction with the BTC fork earlier this year.

I would own both, the percentage split is up to your risk tolerance.

2238  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie here, need some advice on: December 10, 2013, 10:58:16 AM
There is no minimum hashing power you need to make a profit.  The question is how cheap can you get hashing power.

Because the price ran up to $1200 last week everybody is selling mining eq for outrageous prices.  You will never turn a true profit unless somebody does you a favor and sells you some eq very cheaply or you steal it.

Wait until next May/June when the eq frenzies subsides.  Until then buy coins with fiat or trade your services directly for coin.

2240  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 17 & Bitcoin Interested on: December 10, 2013, 10:50:17 AM
Word of caution:  No exchange is really regulated or enforced by government entities.  If CampBx, Bitstamp, BTC-e closes up shop in 1 hour and runs with the money there's probably nothing you can do.

Only keep money on an exchange that you would be willing to gamble with.

Anything you are not willing to lose place in an offline wallet and store it.
