281  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining for Dummy's on: January 16, 2014, 02:42:13 PM
So I'm trying to explain the process of mining Bitcoins to my friend, but unfortunately she's too lazy to research and watch the videos I've sent her on how mining actually works. She understands the idea of decentralized digital currency and all the pros that go along with it and how they're used in exchanges, but she doesn't understand the mining aspect of it. I don't mine that hard, so I'll admit I don't even know a LOT about it... but I can't seem to explain to her in general terms what mining Bitcoins is.

Can someone help me out and explain how to tell my friend what mining is?! BTW: She does understand the concept of blocks.

Just tell her mining is actually creating ton of code which is the raw material for Bitcoin..

How likely is it that the quick increase in network hash rate is related to the ASIC manufacturers getting their new hardware online while they mine before they send the hardware out?

It got to be china...

What about your CPU % when only mining with multiples GPU (for Litecoin as an example)?

Is your computer also usable for daily uses (not games indeed!)?

Although CPU is idle but you still can't use your computer freely unless you stop 1 of your graphic card...

Hello there,
I have been mining 42 for the past few days.
Earned some quick bucks.
Some quick facts about the crypto:

Name : 42
Total number of coins : 42
Algorithm : Scrypt
Exchange : Cryptsy
Market rate : coinmarketcap.com
Mining profitability : coinwarz.com
Developers: Hendo420 and Maco

Its impossible for anyone to mine a single round coin as per today's difficulty.

42's are in general counted only in decimals.

.00000001 of 42 = 1 Dent

As some newbie miner one can aim for few thousands of Dents.









I don't see mining 42 have better profitability..

292  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Future of Mining GH/S Cost? on: November 13, 2013, 12:50:22 PM
May be a third cheaper - but you are stuck wioth the contract for 12 months - and we already know that the ROI for that doesn;t work out.

The reason why CEX,io is in more demand is because its easier to sell once you hit your roi threshhold.

nah, I believe its because of the ease of trading and to maintain..

295  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: So, if I wanted to buy 60+ graphics cards on: November 13, 2013, 12:47:04 PM
What would the best way to do so be? I may be in the market for 60+ 7950's or 280 non x cards.

I'd buy the inventory out of most stores, not to mention the rebate limitations.

Not looking for opinions on practicality of such a thing or what I might make/loose, just looking for cards  Wink

Thanks for looking!

Look at my name, I am your biggest nightmare Tongue

This, I am planing to buy ASIC instead once they are out Smiley

297  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: What's a fair price for Block Erupters? on: November 13, 2013, 12:43:45 PM
I want to sell my lot for a fair price, but what might that be nowadays? Obviously I won't get my investment back, but I see them for sale ranging anywhere from .06 to .15.

Try putting higher price first, people are buying them cause btc price rise pretty much ..
