61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Affordable motherboard for GPU mining? on: March 27, 2016, 06:53:10 AM
You want to look at two motherboards and probably those two only:
ASRock H61 Pro BTC and ASRock H81 Pro BTC.
The main difference between them is the CPU socket.

These motherboards can easily handle 6 cards but you'll need PCI-E risers. I'd highly recommend only using powered USB risers and avoiding ribbon risers at all costs.

If you want a motherboard in which you can put cards without risers you're going to have to reach deep into your pocket and even then you'll probably run into thermal throttling with some beefier cards if they are that close together.

Feel free to ask anything about mining here on in pm.

I use the H61 motherboard. It is very reliable. It will recognise 6 GPU easily. If you have the dual GPU cards, it can support 8 GPU.

H61 is good. Asrock has H97 now.

What Crash?  Wink Bitcoin price continues to climb since a few days ago.I f you think you have enough profit,you can sell now or Hold for sometime and observe the market movement.Its also possible that it will skyrocket ,but wko knows  Grin

You are right. There is no crash at all. The price action is very normal for it to rise or drop 10% in a day or two.
63  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: February 20, 2016, 09:01:12 PM
Already few countries has faced the big crash. This time it has not caused  any bad to bitcoin technology, the past time decreased price also not a big problem as bitcoin has come passing various crashes.

You are right. The world is seeing some big time problems. I am sure we will see more and more of countries/markets collopase.
From there it would be good to have bitcoin taking over.

If the oil price stays around $25 for the next two years, most of the oil company will go bankrupt and it will affect the banking system. Bitcoin is a good investment.

I am positive the crisis is not for europe but for the whole world.
Just look at what's happening, refugees, IS, Oil, China etc.

Are you blaming the commodity price drop on China? That is the over investment of the large commodity companies such as BHP Billiton.

You can ROI on an ethereum rig in 3.5 months right now if you don't go out and buy all new parts. My rig just cost me $900 and will ROI in 110 days. Even less if the price stays like it is now(it will correct itself soon i'm sure). I'm hashing at around 80 MH/s at 950 Watts thats with an underclocked 7990 and two 7950s on an old ass AMD athlon 2 processor+ motherboard I had left over.

Building a second rig almost the same and will have roughly 6 months of profit. Even if PoS comes when they say it will I will have already made $750 in profit per rig. And I can sell those cards on ebay to make back more.

Mining Ethereum may only last 10 months but it's still very much worth it and may provide you the extra cash you need to buy the next gen 16nm ASICs or something else...

Great! Thanks for sharing your experiences mining Ethereum. It certainly looks like a fun task (besides the profit) and will be building my very first ETH mining rig soon. I could also try buying ETH at cheap prices and wait for the price to go back up to profit. That could also work, but I think that it is more risky than mining itself. Since I don't have to worry about electricity costs (for now, until the chance is over) I will definitely make more profit with ETH mining. Also, I wouldn't mind investing in Genesis Mining ETH mining hashrate.  Cheesy

7990 is the best. It is more efficient that 7970 as it removes some duplicated circuit.

The Genesis mining is too expensive. It is price for 1 year mining contact, but you may only mine for 9 months as Eth will change PoW to PoS.

It will actually take a lot more time for this beast to become adopted everywhere and be used as a currency itself...
But till then, it would be absolutely fine, as later is better than losing its value gradually which always happens when people enter and some silly dogs dump on them...

We just need to be patient. The adoption of new technology takes long time. It took the human being 30 years to adopt the internet.

This is just a full number. The potential activity is still full member. The title is misleading.
68  Economy / Speculation / Re: How long will it take? on: December 18, 2015, 01:18:21 PM
It will take at least 50+ years for the whole world to adapt. Like the guy above me said, some people don't even shop alone and some don't even make use of online banking at all. I think that as long as people are adapting to bitcoin every year, the value will keep on growing.

It will take decades for the people and governments in the world to get used to the digital currency system. It is not just about the coin, but the whole system.
