So your farm is around 150Mhs ?? Where did you place your farm?? I don't find any place in western world with cheap electricity, so I plan to extend my farm to Asia (China or Vietnam). But maintain it would be a nightmare so I still consider. Could you share some tips how you maintain your super big farm??


More like 120 to 125. We don't  live in a perfect world. I'm incorporated and I pay. 07 cents per kw. There are a lot of places in the US are there is cheap electricity. Just have to look.

I programmed my own miner monitoring application that controls the cards and redistributes them to different coin networks and restarts the gpus.

The biggest thing you should worry about is airflow. Hire an HVAC specialist to do it right.

The best price I paid in Europe right now is 0.15 USD / kW (incorporated too. The base price is around 0.07 USD too but one hell of tax here in West Europe) . And price for electronic equipment is a lot higher than in US. It made me sometimes to think that USA is the true paradise for technology Cheesy

I have a pretty big industrial warehouse here so I will split my next rigs for better airflow. Thanks for your tips.

Uhm you mean you have completely rewritten miner from scratch or you wrote your monitor app which uses cgminer api to check and control your rigs?? Or you forked cgminer and rewrite the interface for your need ?
It's pretty good idea. I don't think it is very hard but it still requires time. Could you tell how long did you take to write your app ??

Thanks for answering Smiley

Hey no problem, its about sharing knowledge.  I'm not as cutthroat about mining like others here.  US is not necessarily a paradise.  You have to look long and hard.  I went through about a hundred townships in my region to find the one with the lowest cost.  It was a geothermal plant so is low cost.  Plus incorporating they exclude delivery charges.  Yes EU is terrible for taxes.  

I did not rewrite cgminer. I wrote a monitoring app that is installed on and monitors each rig.  It reports back to a server that has a rules engine that defines how I want the network to operate.  The head server commands each rig to mange gpu settings, restart even change pools.  It also distributes rigs to different pools mining the same coin so distributed hashing.  Its proprietary to the corporation.  

I wrote the app part time so about 20-30 hours a week and it took 2 months.  Then on going upgrades and improvements, so maybe 500 hours or more.  I have had offers to license it, but I have not taken any yet.

60W for 60K is really terrible power usage if those specs are correct. A 600K gpu uses less than 300W, which is more than twice as power efficient.

It's 8W if it only works on scrypt, but 60W if it is doing 60Khash scrypt and 10 Ghash SHA-256 at the same time.  At least that's how I interpret it Smiley

That is the problem. Interpretation. People are getting the specs wrong. It is 60w for scrypt.

When btc ran up to over 1000 the prices of alts did not trade down so the value of all alts went up to.
745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: GPU Farm on: January 25, 2014, 07:22:29 PM
If you are planning a great farm of that  scale consider just leading a building in an industrial or commercial zone. You could spend all the money upgrading your home like I did  then hit the  400 AMP cap and you'll still want to scale it up even more. With 3phase power you'll really be  able to grow.

When the cards are broken after 3 months you might have warranty.

70° should be ok.

I have about 190 Gigabyte 7950s that run at 60° in the winter overclocked and 80-90° in the summer. I've had 3 that had fans broken that I replaced with after market. They have been running any where between 7 and 15 months like that.

747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How Do I Buy Scrypt Mining Power? on: January 25, 2014, 07:12:40 AM
usually with money.  maybe barter if you find the a seller that is interested.
748  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: getting started,help on: January 25, 2014, 07:07:20 AM
I'm thinking about buying this rig, for 1300.

MB: Giga Byte GA-H61M-DS2H Rev. 2.0
CPU: Intel Celeron DualCore G1620
RAM: 16GB value
GPU: 4x Sapphire 7970 reference design (all at low 70's, produces 736kh/s each) 3.2Mh/s total
PSU: Corsair 1200W
HDD: Small factor 40GB preinstaled win7 64bit
one usual 16x-16x riser, 3x 1x-16x risers.

These are the 3 things i need help with.
1.I kind of want to know the difference between mining bitcoin and altcoins.
2.He already has everything setup and all i have to do is connect it to my mining pool. It is supposed to automatically mine the most profitiable cryptocurrency, but i want to know the profibility of it.
3. Is all i do plug it in and join my pool and then just let it mine away?
I appreciate any help, and thank you in advance.


1.I kind of want to know the difference between mining bitcoin and altcoins.

bitcoin is SHA-256, some altcoints are SHA-256 and most are Scrypt().  It is not profitable to mine SHA-256 with GPUs.  It is when you mine altcoins that use Scrypt.
 
2.He already has everything setup and all i have to do is connect it to my mining pool. It is supposed to automatically mine the most profitiable cryptocurrency, but i want to know the profibility of it.

It will not mine the most profitable coin unless you are mining at a pool that will automatically switch coins based on profitability and even then you will still need to sell the coins so the profit may not be what you expect.

3. Is all i do plug it in and join my pool and then just let it mine away?

In simple terms yes.

Anyone that has more than 10Mh/s PM me, want to rent for 24 hour periods, will pay 25-40% more of what you earn on doge

If you pay .20/kW + pro rates to DOGE price daily. I'd consider it.

This is classic engineering.  WHen your solution tries to be good at too many functions the end result is it is mediocre at anything.  I found a highly optimized ASIC chip designer that is manufacturing one of the most efficient scrypt ASICs.  It is 10 times more powerful than Gridseed Hash/$.  Being first does not mean you will be the best.  Gridseed will not last.  I give it 6 months before they are worthless.

Guys,
I bought 2 $5 server from digital ocean and I'm mining. This is my result for 3 days. Will I be able to get profit ? How can I payout from beeeeer.org ?

Dude, Math is not rocket science.  If you can compute if you will gain a profit why are you even here?
753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Hashrate arbitrage on: January 25, 2014, 06:50:23 AM
he is better off only when there is an arbitrage opportunity.  The problem is that the movment of coins to an exchange to convert to LTC and then back again wastes time that may result in a reduction in arbitrage as well as the trading and withdrawal fees that go along with it.  The gain is so negligible that pool operates may not invest the time to automate the process.
754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: gaming on mining rig on: January 25, 2014, 06:46:51 AM
yes you can but why waste time playing video games when you could have it working to make money.  Is your guilty pleasures worth costing you income?
755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gridseed miner - A Scrypt and SHA ASIC miner on: January 25, 2014, 06:45:25 AM
A failed LTC ASIC design that they are trying to salvage by marketing it as a BTC/LTC miner.  Apparently it did not perform as they anticipated for a pure scrypt miner.  After investing .500k to 1 mil in development they are trying to recoup costs.  Don't plan on getting good support RMAs in the future as they will probably try to re-engineer it.
756  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Need Emergency Advice Please!! on: January 24, 2014, 08:00:50 PM
This can happen if you use molex to get 3 or 4 port power cords. Otherwise it could just be a manufacturing defect.

1. Who is still doing it and what hashrate are you getting?

2. Any advice on what pool I should join or what mining software I should use, etc?



I just ordered my mining gear for $2000..... am I making a huge mistake?


please respond

1. I am approx. 110-120MHs

2.  I mine at several different pools to distribute the hash rate. 
My favorites (in order) = coinotron.com, p2pool.org, litecoinpool.org, litebonk.com

Is it a mistake.  Depends.  Are you trying to get rich quick?  Is so yes, it will suck as much as it will be fun.  Are you in for the long haul and plan to add on?  If you can handle the frustration, electrical cost, the endless tweeking, and times when you can't turn a profit then it will get better.
