Peercoin diff will rise after the 1/2ing as the profitability of ppc is the same as btc right now. People will see that after the 1/2 ing and soon we'll be seeing a diff spike in ppc as well. I'm mining with 2 S5s on ppc solo, found 2 blocks so far. Doing good, + profit.

There's always risk involved for profit; in this case you COULD get shot while trying to get a bag o chips. I'd put my miners in Venezuela but seriously the risk is way lower than the reward. 0.2/kwh sucks for elec alone, but coupled with cooling it's an ok deal

I have posted my review before the new requirements, will you still count my review? Took me a while to write that and it was also fun knowing how great thr website is

that's a good thing... i'm kinda worried I wont get paid but i'll take any scraps I can get here still waiting for payment but i'm sure he'll do that soon

Many people (even me) have had this question. The problem is that usb 3.0 will bottleneck the transfer speed. Other than that, everything should work. USB 3.0 has a very limited speed cap, MUCH below PCI speed. It's really not a good option for gaming per se, but for mining the speed SHOULD be enough, although the transfer speed is not optimal.
There is no way to put a gpu onto a rpi, for it's just impossible. However there are custom eGpu options for only ~50USD that are well documented and can work on any device with a mini pci slot. Find them here, but there are cheaper prices at other websites occasionally:

I've written a review for you here:

I have indeed just created a blog, however I love talking about gambling websites (I spent 100$ on csgo doubling websites, heck yeah!) so here it is. Fresh off the roller, enjoy.

My S1 was underclocked to 100gh/s, so the results were pretty close, still near 2x faster but still you get the idea.I'm pretty sure nobody runs s1s at full speed anymore because even in places like amazon and ebay, S1s and S3s cost the same and use about the same amount of power, but the S3 has much more hashrate.

Most likely some outdated miners taking advantage of the difficulty. I imagine a few PH/S of S5s and S7s turning temporarily on for a day or two and waiting for the next difficulty adjustment. If they stayed on, difficulty would begin to skyrocket again as a few PH/S of miners would enter pools, so it's a good thing generally.

Bitmain wanted to reduce the price as much as possible, so they made a batch with as few parts as possible that could still operate. Buncha chinese cheapos, but the good news is it runs at a higher decibel level but at nearly the same temps. In summer temps may become a problem but it works for now.

The only problem is that a GPU is not built to be at near 100% load for extended periods of time, and often what happens is over a period of a month, even well-cooled gpus will start having the effects of heat and components will begin to degrade. I've had a dead R9 270X once mining ethereum for only 2 months. Thus most people buying gpus ask what it was used for if they're buying used gpus, and most people are unwilling to buy gpus used for mining as they know mining will shorten a gpu's life drastically. Unless the buyer is really desperate, few people will buy a used mining gpu as the wear can get pretty bad mining ethereum and other altcoin.

Eclipse offers PPS, but im not sure what the payout threshold is for them. Should be quite low as I tested an Antminer S1 on there (underclocked ofc) and I got paid with their PPS. They aren't a big pool, but they do have pretty good rates.

Not at all. The Avalon Nano is (was) a very efficient miner and made around 3 cents a day a few months ago before the crazy difficulty rise. Nowadays the outdated avalon chip doesn't make profit anymore, and it's just a good idea for people who want an entry-level miner that doesn't eat up a ton of electricity. You can buy one if you like, but seriously for beginners a block erupter is a lot cheaper and has lots of mods available and also is very well documented.

Might consider using it in the future, but for now i'm using a custom one that I cropped from my fav csgo team.. A bit low def but cropping definitely helped it. Thanks anyways, the avatar looks really nice and if there were to be an official avatar, i'd vote for that one. Thanks!

There isn't an official avatar, but I guess you can build your own avatar. I do hope somebody makes one in the future as my avatar space is empty and I could always put in one. Who was wearing the avatar? I'm interested if you could link me to his account..

You could make a really nice Ethereum rig with 10k and even less with GPU discounts on websites like newegg. Ether is very profitable atm so with a fair investment like ~2.5K you could be making ~150mh/s and raking in a pretty sizeable profit from it. If you're going to mine Ether, don't hold TOO long. It's still growing and there is the off chance of it dying, so trade it for bitcoin regularly unless you're a serious trader. The best GPUs for Ethereum tend to be AMD cards in the R9 200-300 series, because those offer the best performance for mining over "more serious" cards like GTX 900s and Titans. I'm more of a Nvidia fanboy, but for mining Ethereum and basically all altcoins, AMD is king.

You should be close to ROI if difficulty doesn't spike tremendously like 2015, which is a possibility with the new bitfury miners soon coming out. Even though the halving is coming soon you should make a profit, and that's not counting the nearly certain price spike when the halving comes, which'll bring the block reward to 12.5, which will raise the price by a few hundred dollars most likely. Difficulty? My guess is it's going to rise A LOT because of 1. Bitfury's supposedly world-changing efficiency which will destroy this generation of miners and 2. Price and difficulty go hand in hand. Higher price usually means higher difficulty, even though as well as block reward going down, profitability will also go down. 2.5cents/kWh is a great price to have for electricity and once the new bitfury miners come out, hop on the bandwagon. You'll make a lot of bitcoin!

First of all, nobody's going to read this because i'm ignored and there's nothing I can do about it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a signature campaign. A forum is a place to express your ideas freely, and it just so happens that somebody in the past decided that hiring people to spread their ideas for them. All that led to this moment in time where many believe that carrying a signature campaign means untrustworthy, spammy, and deserving of being ignored, of which all of those are stereotypes. There are plenty of those, so I won't have to list any of them. I'm Chinese, so I assure you I get those all the time about "do you eat rice every day?" (which is actually true, but wow I listed one already, so..).

Not everybody posts to gain money; in fact the average "good" user here probably found signature campaigns a week or a month after they've been here (I found signature campaigns 6 or so months after I joined!) and  thought, hey, I could be paid for my ideas! So they join. They talk about the newest generation miner, new chips, and difficulty speculation and helping new people. That's before a few stumble upon this thread and realize, "hey, why is this guy ignoring me?" In that case the signature campaign carrier did absolutely nothing wrong. The sad and disappointing thing is that most people see spammers with signature campaigns and I do too! EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. In that case, the campaigner has done very wrong and deserves to be ignored. Not everybody deserves to be on this list, but cherrypicking people out would be a very arduous task, so I guess this guy wrote something that found every single person with a campaign and compiled their names. There are many people that don't belong on that list, but since everybody with a campaign is now ignored, nobody will listen to me either. This list hasn't been updated in a very long time since the OP doesn't believe in probation apparently, so there is no room to change and there are plenty of people out there who have used his list. In case any of you are using this, although you may not be able to hear me, it must be a pretty desolate world out there with you in the middle of it all. There's even spammers without signature campaigns as well! What're you going to do about them? So I guess, take this with a grain of salt since nobody really cares anyway. That's just my two cents though, it's up to you if you ignore me or not, but to sum this up, ignoring people with signature campaigns is like segregation, there might be good people out there, but just like in the past not every race was treated equally.

Of course some people are just interested in the mining process and minting a block imo is much more exciting than trading bitcoin on some exchange. The latter provides more profit over time if you're a good trader, but even if you're not a good trader you can invest SOME bitcoin into trading (10-20$) and learn market patterns and maybe earn profit. If you don't, well, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you learned a bit about markets and only spent a few bucks. Mining is much more interesting and "fun" imo, but trading will probably get you more profit and you're not buying hardware that could get obsolete. Word of advice- don't hold too much btc on exchanges as we don't want another cryptsy or mt.gox to happen to you.

Exceptional (imo, I don't know yahoo's expectations, but i'll voice mine) means that your posts aren't just on topic but takes the conversation further or you have some amazing idea that you have. I'm not an exceptional poster by any means, but that's my idea and i'm aiming for that kind of post quality in the future. Don't worry, at least try and who knows? You might be the exceptional poster he's looking for. you just gotta believe.

You never know, anybody could be an "exceptional" member. Discouraging people from applying is just going to make people less likely to join and with that you could discourage a great poster with high trust from applying. Putting the message up on the first post would be great, as EVERYBODY reads that except people who don't do anything but spam. It's not full, just the campaign is looking for above-average posters.
