I agree that processor does not matter much.  But if I can spend $10usd more to get a Pentium over a Celeron, I'm going to do it.  I started all of my 6 gpu rigs with 4gb ddr4 and they ran just fine most of the time ... I've since upgraded them all to 8gb ddr4, I don't notice a lot of difference.  I think I see a bit of a difference when I remote into them.  The system as a whole is more responsive to command.  Those little upgrades only cost me a couple days of mining, so I do it.

Majority of my issues have been gpu driver crashes.  Most of that came from core and mem overclocking a little too much on a specific gpu.  Causes the entire rig to crash.  Even if they are the same brand and model, they won't all be the same as far as how much you can overclock.

My solution to that is a switched pdu.  Although it is not very necessary, if your gpu's are clocked appropriately, it gives me piece of mind.  I can shut down the power to one rig and then turn it back on from my computer at work, my phone, with a laptop from anywhere that I have a connection to the internet.

All above is based on Win10 OS. 

You do realize that LTC, XMR, and ETH have VERY different cases for use, right?  Lol ... I don't think you have researched anything other than the fucking current value of each coin. 

I haven't said this to anyone in awhile.  Start reading this forum, legit crypto news sites, listening to podcasts.  Don't stop until your eyes are bloodshot and/or you fall asleep (8 hours/day min).  Do that for about 90 days straight.  You'll thank yourself for it later.

Is LTC or ETH worth it?  After the research that you have done on each project, do you believe that it has future value or do you think it has zero value?  OH LOOK!  You answered your own question. 

Is mining worth it?  After the research that you have done on the coins that you want to mine, the future value of those coins based on your research of each project,  the cost of the hardware you'll need to mine them, and everything else that goes into mining, is it worth it to you?  OH LOOK!  You answered your own question.

I have to say, you're a pretty smart guy.  Glad we have the privledge of having your membership in the forum.

There is no fee to transfer paypal funds to your attached bank account.  Not in the USA anyway.  And there is never a fee to use paypal to purchase goods or services.  The fee is charged to the person who is selling the goods or service that you are paying for.

I don't understand the people asking for merit trend.  It doesn't get you free pizza or anything of value.  It's a representation of how much value you have added to the community over time. 

When you deserve it

Yeah, but the ones you see on Amazon and Newegg are resellers.  It's not that you're buying directly from Amazon or Newegg in those instances.  But yeah, watch what you're doing.

Reminds me of the Chinese flash memory scam.  They alter the usb stick, sd card, ect to make a computer report that a 4gb or 8gb is really 128gb or something stupid.  I lost a few hundred dollars on a scam like that about 4 years ago. 

Never heard of them.  Can't seem to find out much about them either.

Is Coinbase going to support the BTCP fork?

If you end up putting them on eBay, post the link or pm it to me.

Lots and lots of Chinese knockoff junk.  Some have said that they work, but they aren't authentic and they won't perform as well as the real thing. 

In addition to that, I'm sure there is no warranty.  They would probably argue with you for a month about DOA, because that's how most sellers are on there.  Once they have your money, they don't give a shit.

Sure.  And then I get shot dead, you keep my rig.  How will you dispose of my body?  In your country, probably easy.

Now I'm really laughing, because I had no idea ... Lol.  I thought it was misuse of wording based on translation.  Tell your younger friend not to waste his life and gpu hashing power on gaming.  Or speaking gamer lingo for that matter.  Lol.  I work in Information Techology, so there are some gamers around in my day to day life.  Not hating on them at all (a gamer who started mining, actually introduced me to mining several months ago) ... I just hate the whining about high gpu prices, due to mining from those who sit around and play games with every minute of their spare time.

Exactly ... It's not like you're going to be able to go to a hotel and plug in several rigs (30 gpu's) in one room.  Lights out my friend.  Lol ... Aside from the fact that I don't think it is morally right, it's just a stupid idea that wouldn't be worth the hassle.  Hope it's an all-inclusive resort, because you wouldn't be able to afford to eat and pay to rent the room.

Oh come on man ... Lol ... Probably because English isn't their native language.  Not saying it isn't funny, because to me ... It just sounds like they are whiny cry babies.  In reality, I think it just comes across that way to those who only speak English.

Yeah, it's called a usb miner.  Just don't expect much profit at the risk of losing your job.  We fired someone at work for plugging in a wifi access point, so good luck with smuggling in a gpu mining rig ... Lol. 

I will be in twenty years, if the price of btc never goes up ... Lol.

Why don't you just call up a hotel, explain what you want to do, and ask for permission?  If it violates a fair use of utilities clause, it is stealing.  Theft is theft.  Doesn't matter if it's a candy bar or a truck load of flat screen tv's.  The dollar amount isn't what I have a problem with.  The moral compass of the person who is willing to do it without permission is what I have the problem with.  Slippery slope people.

I'm not hating on them.  I have a few rigs on NH as well.  I'm just calling out the OP, because he can't do his own fucking homework.  That's all.
