Even if you're trying to make a setup that mines on the side and is also capable of gaming, it doesn't make sense to put a liquid cooler on an unlocked processor that happens to be running on a B250 board that isn't capable of overclocking the CPU- why not just get an unlocked motherboard for a bit more and/or drop the liquid cooler? From what I see with the specification you went to cyberpowerpc.com and configured a system for mining with the name of the parts and unnamed liquid cooler. Even if you're just trying to get a gaming PC, Cyberpowerpc is insanely overpriced. I honestly don't even know why people use the site.
If you're looking to seriously mine, drop the i7 and put in a Pentium and get a board with more x16 slots, keep the stock Pentium cooler and look at getting a better PSU and more GPUs. What you're posting right now will not break even in a reasonable timespan or at all. If you had selected the RX 580 option in Nicehash you would've seen quick enough you won't be making much relative to the cost of the machine you posted here.

Why on the earth can someone consider blockchain as the future of gambling while we can to create amazing things with it. I repeat frequently that countries need to implement it and develope in many ways. For example Georgia uses blockchain for land titling with the help and support of Bitfury. Our one member had greatest idea about blockchain and gold "collide" that could prevent making fake golds.
Any development on the blockchain helps out cryptocurrency as a whole, no? I think it's great people like OP are creating services that involve the blockchain to carry out their activities- this advertises the website and crypto as a whole. If we want crypto to become bigger than it is now, replacing things like fiat for gambling is a great place to start. There's great things being created every day with the help of the blockchain, but that doesn't mean more ordinary things like gambling can't be improved with the blockchain too. I get the error "Welcome to blockchaincasinos.io This Web page is parked for FREE, courtesy of GoDaddy.com." upon trying to access your website. Nobody can actually access the site until you fix this, hopefully this'll help you fix the error more than 'the site is offline'. |

If you're looking for SHA256 miner alternatives, Avalon still sells their 8XX series that are as efficient as the S9s but are much more reliable than the S9s- plus, you won't suffer from the issues that come with Bitmain, and Avalon delivers relatively quickly even purchasing from their online store direct. Bitmain is definitely not the only choice- you may pay less for Bitmain miners, but you also run the risk of expensive repairs and issues like OP posted if you so choose to buy from them.
I don't consider the Innosilicon T2s SHA256 miners because they are truly only capable of hashing on a select number of pools, and that's not a limitation of a true SHA256 miner.
If you're looking for miners for sale, the Computer Hardware section is a great place to start, but make sure to use escrow. I don't recommend using Amazon or eBay for miner purchases as everything is going to be massively overpriced there.

Is ForkDelta same as EtherDelta? No, ForkDelta, as its name somewhat suggests, began as a fork of EtherDelta. Taking this off of the site, This interface is a fork of EtherDelta with a ton of improvements including a much faster order processing system. It interacts with ForkDelta's revamped API and EtherDelta's original contract. ForkDelta forked about five months ago or so, and although the sites are similar, ForkDelta claims to offer improvements over Etherdelta, though I would suggest actually visiting the sites to see which one is better for you. As for additional help on how to use ForkDelta, the site shows some very basic instructions that are essentially ‘deposit coins and go’ . You can see this by navigating to ‘My Transactions’ and then ‘Important’. |

If you want even more proof that the game is legit and there’s real people winning, a little bit of Googling might help out. Here’s another post containing a winner. here is the copy of email about my winning in the lottery I not maniuplated/edited this picture, it is as-is.. PS: I am not owner/cooperator with wetsuit/freebitco.in , also i am not hunting for referrals, just saying, it works and paying  It’s unfortunate that you haven’t won yet, but that’s how gambling works. The odds of you winning are supposed to be incredibly slim, especially in a lottery. |

This little Steemit guide should also help- Etherdelta and Forkdelta are extremely similar to one another (even with layout on the mobile versions of the sites) and for the most part any guides for Etherdelta will also apply for Forkdelta. It’s really quite straightforward to start. Simply sign up for the site, deposit ETH, and place an order for PAL. Your funds will be deducted and you’ll be given your PAL after doing so

Predicted difficulty should also be always included in an earnings calculators. It as been going higher linearly over the years which makes it easy to forecast.
Difficulty absolutely does not increase linearly. Please take a look at Bitcoinwisdom's BTC difficulty charts or Litecoin difficulty charts and tell me all that growth (and stagnation a while back) is linear. Please don't post things that are absolutely untrue. Nobody can predict difficulty increases accurately, and it sure does not increase at a linear rate for conventional mining on any chain. |

I don't know many tipsters for CS:GO, but I know there were some out in these parts of the forums a while back that had decent records. I remember there was one free tipsters that specialized in CS:GO, but I haven't been able to find the thread here.
I've made a few thousand dollars betting on CS:GO teams, but I have a few years of experience with the game itself and play at a relatively high level. It's definitely possible to make money off of CS:GO and Esports betting as a whole, and it's more interesting to me than any other sort of betting. It's just a shame there's so few Esports tipsters around here nowadays.

There's been a quite a lot of this sort of discussion, and if you check similar threads here you'll see a range of opinions. I think it depends on your risk tolerance. If you have to go 1070 for some reason, personally I prefer the 1070ti since the extra CUDAs have a real impact for only slightly more price.
Overall just depends on how much capital you can afford tie up in equipment, your risk tolerance, belief in the future crypto, what you want to mine and whether it will be asic'ed or fpga'ed (some believe everything will) and whether makes sense for you to just wait for the 11 series cards dropping soon. Good luck.
Thank you for your reply. I have about $2K which I can invest in 4 GTX1070ti GPUs (I already have a spare PSU and MB). I have a lot of doubts about the future of crypto currencies, but I'm willing to give it a try  I'm just not sure if I should invest money in GTX 1070s or wait for 11XX... There's no indication of how good the 11 series of cards will be, so it's anybody's guess- could be good, could be just okay, but just make sure you're okay with losing your money like Max said above. As to how 'powerful' the rig will be, you're going to make approximately $166 according to Nicehash at current rates. Powerful is an extremely relative term and it's completely opinionated. What you should really be looking at is how much you might make and how long it might take you to break even at current rates. As of right now, it'll take about a year assuming things everything stays exactly the same, which most likely won't happen. I'm personally staying away from GPU mining in general right now as FPGAs and ASICs are taking over algos left and right, but if you're okay with taking a bit of risk, considering the way things are going for you, go for it. |

I often suggest people to try getting physical miners hosted when they say they don't want the hassles of mining at home due to noise or power issues, and it is indeed a viable alternative. There are many scams out there for hosting, but it's the second best option for mining besides home mining- cloudmining should not even be categorized as a form of mining at all.
There's currently plenty of opportunity in FPGAs and ASICs for new algorithms in altcoin mining, but as of right now, mining rewards are low and I don't suggest putting too much money into mining at all right now. Things aren't looking too bright for mining in general right now, especially with GPUs as FPGAs and ASICs encroach on previously GPU-only algos.

If you're getting the D3s for $300 USD each, they're going to provide the best $/performance out of all the miners you listed- the S9 does better in terms of $/month on free power (D3- ~$100/mo, S9- ~$195/mo according to Nicehash), but it's not worth paying so much extra for a bit more performance when you can get 3 D3s for about the same price as a single S9 and make much more than just one S9. You're also going to make the fastest return on your money compared to everything else you listed getting the D3s- According to Nicehash, you're getting about $100 per month per miner, so you break even in ~3 months.
I would advise against getting GPUs right now the way things are going currently. FPGAs are running rampant and ASICs are actively being produced for just about every popular algo you can think of.

Some more notable quotes in the article: The last citywide strike by Culinary Union workers took place in 1984. During the 67 days of the strike, the Strip lost an estimated $75 million in revenue, according to the union.
The workers eligible for the strike are about half of the hospitality employee population in the city, Khan said.
Seems like nobody's got any sort of idea how long this might last, but this is definitely going to cause at least some temporary economic damage over in Vegas, and Crypto gambling will likely see at least a small spike in activity during the time of the strike, if it will happen as scheduled. Hopefully more people hear about Crypto gambling at the least out of this event. |

I live in the US, and we've already got some decent options for getting electronics like computers and parts, etc from sites such as Newegg. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good idea to possibly open up a service selling electronics as more services in any area involving BTC is good, but I feel there's opportunity to be found in things we do every day that involve fiat currency. Too many people are focused on electronics transactions with BTC, and other things like even just food as a whole and clothing would be great places to start.

1.98% house edge cant be considered as a low house edge especially for a dice game. 1% is the common house edge for dice game, so it is higher than other dice sites in general. No terms, no FAQ, less security system, how about provably fair?
For me it is like a dice site that is not ready to launch yet. Need so many improvements, and obviously it is not recommended to put our money in this unknown site.
the house edge there is 1% looking at that site , not sure why the user is mentioning that or promoting the site but he clearly doesn't know what he are talking about there is like 170 active people in chat there and I'm not sure if it's fake or not , but in general almost all the other dice sites are better than this one Most of the more recent gambling sites I've seen on the forums in the past few weeks have had stupidly high house edges that kill any chance of the site actually succeeding- I wonder what these people are thinking when they're making sites that aren't any different from traditional dice games, yet the edge is massively bigger. At least the site works alright on mobile; this is common nowadays, but that's the one good thing I see about this site right now. |

I've used Bitify to buy various goods in the past (mostly gift cards), and it appears there's various sellers on the website selling Amazon gift cards for about face value in BTC and LTC (1:1) or less. The site offers escrow for you so there's almost no risk of being scammed, and I've never had a bad experience with them. It's a shame more people don't use the site- everything about it is great. Here's an example listing from a trusted seller on the website for a $25.99 Amazon GC. |

Go with molex connectors if you can like Coyn said above unless you're looking to have issues. It's always a good choice to get the best for power delivery for your risers- they're supporting the most expensive part of your mining rig (GPUS), after all. If you had read the link he posted, you'd see this: Do not use any included harnesses that converts to SATA
Do not use any included harnesses that converts to SATA
Do not use any included harnesses that converts to SATA Both are not as good compared to just getting a 6-pin straight from the PSU (which is where server PSUs can come in), but I see you're in a bit of a tricky situation with your PSU. Molex is good enough in 99% of cases. |

My current strategy is to get used 4xx/5xx. But the prices on ebay is still very high for used GPUs
eBay is rarely a good place to find used GPUs- I typically find that prices there are much higher for things like GPUs (especially GPUs more than anything, but there are occasional good deals there) than other places like Bitcointalk. I visit the Computer Hardware section every other day, and I see used RX 570s and 580s every now and then right around the $200 price mark. It's a shame prices are still so high right now- I'm personally staying away from the GPU side of things for now. Seems like most people and companies don't want to let go of their GPUs cheaply yet. |

S9s and avalons are selling cheap these days. They need to compete strongly on price too, or it wont make sense to purchase.
This is so important for the miner besides performance. Bitmain’s still capable of lowering their S9 price if the Innosilicon comes close to it in price or performance to stay competitive. This will have to be near the price of an S9 to have decent sales at all. We already know the price in bulk ($1600/100 MOQ), but resellers will definitely markup the price. The question is how much it will cost for us and what Bitmain will do in response- they’ll probably lower the price of the S9 further as aforementioned (S9i 14TH/S is currently at $1050 with PSU). |

Considering how much news and hype there's been surrounding FPGAs recently, I'm not really surprised Bitmain is jumping on this trend and is trying to capitalize on it. They're going to have closer ties to FPGA manufacturers like Xilinx than any of us will have, too... we'll see what happens here with time.
On another note, looking at the video description, this video was released by Xilinx's YouTube channel this January, and Bitmain have only mostly. been using FPGAs in their Antminer controllers up to now. A bit old, but with FPGAs starting to become more relevant again, it is indeed likely there could be more developments in the way of FPGAs from Bitmain soon.
