The gox panic cycle looked something like this.

-Delayed withdraws? nah
-Technical issue? pfft
-Halted withdraws? zzz
-Gox has potentially lost millions! /yawn
-Our money is managed by a fat french guy?!?!?!?! SELL SELL SELL BITCOIN IS DEAD

 



LMFAO!

light bulbs have efficiency ratings like 100% of electricity
I don't even know where to begin on how wrong this statement is...

90% light +10% heat. Does your explanation still work?
It's other way around (90% heat, 10% light) and yeah my explanation still works.

this is irrelevant but at least in Europe and probably most of the world those old bulbs have been banned and replaced by LED.

Why does your statement still stand?

(Ill aks someone who knows physics and all that stuff maybe ill undesrtand then)
83  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 18 R9 280 rig. Help! on: February 23, 2014, 09:27:04 PM
Do 6 rigs. 3 cards per rig.
PSU min.1000w golden/platinum efficiency, could use two 750w powers also but considering you are noob, I wouldn't start with two PSU. Google this.
Undervolt your GPU's. Google this.
Ram 4-8Gb 1333 DDR3 /rig
HDD: NO hdd use litecoinBAMT and usb-stick. Google this

Remember to use only two rigs behind one fuse. So you need at least 3 individual supply-lines from your fusebox to your rigs.
See that there is no other load behind those fuses.
You will need allso risers for your GPUs and a case of some sort. Google this

Thanks for everything. Also, i plan to use this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FT2KSVK/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00FT2KSVK&linkCode=as2&tag=rumorscity-20

and Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H Motherboard along with two 750w PSU per rig.
Will that be cool?

in my opininon you shant give bad advice. You can have 8 gpus if you manage to find big bang marshal motherboard. You can do even more if you have pci-e splitters.

Hey,

I am planning to make 3 mining rigs. With the following config:

Mobo: Asrock H81 Pro BTC
Gpu: 6xR9 280 (per rig) i.e. 18-R9 280
PSU: Corsair
Ram: Corsair
HDD: WD

Firstly, please tell me if the following config will be good enough or not.
Secondly, how will all these three rigs mine together. As in will using the same configs and details of my pool on all the three rigs will do the thing or is there something else that needs to be done.
Thirdly, I need a minimum monthly income of $1000 and plan to mine DogeCoin, will that be a good choice or not?  If No, then please do suggest me a good AltCoin.

Also, i am expecting the cumulative hashrate to be around 12,000 Khash/s. Am i right?

Thanks

Why do you want to buy a hard drive?

Also what psu do you want to buy? here is list of proper psu reviews not that multimeter bullshit: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page541.htm

here are corsair http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page447.htm. when you click the link to site when you review it shows how they upgraded their equipment so they test psu properly not with a multimeter or some other shit

Also you dont need a case or anything else fancy like that.

If you use price compare sites (s\there are someTEEN of them) you will save lotss of money.Check it out.
85  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the best mining card right now according to you? on: February 23, 2014, 09:18:51 PM
Im doing right now a rundown on all price comparing sites to find the best price for each card.
Then I find the price to kh/s ratio but this is more problematic because ulike the price I cant really be sue about that hashrate.

Well, usually gpu coolers are compatible with reference card only. But some do compatible with other..

so I cnat really know?  Sad

only if someone has done the work ahead of you.  you should go to gpu forums  look for water cooling blocks and gpus.  here is a link to a decent forum



http://forums.anandtech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8 

 ask for what water cooler works on a specific gpu.  ask for what gpu is easy to water cool

thanks very much
88  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: When buying used gpu without warranty will a day to test out gpu be enough on: February 23, 2014, 09:06:42 PM
5 minute should be enough ...

I should have written Im buying entirely new rig so I will have to install every hardware software firmware updates and all that and overclock test stabilty change thermal compound cooling and everything else.

How much do you think this wil take in worst situation?



Okay lets say you buy A rig.  a never ever ever ever do new firmware  unless you have absolute  certainty   that:

A) you need the firmware
B) others have followed the firmware upgrade and it is proven to work

Next why do you want to overclock?

I  ask this because you have asked a lot of questions about overclocking gpu's > I won't get into that gpu's do not work well for mining BTC.

I will say this Overclocking kills off gear------------- more true then not true.


also  Overclocking eats up power   many times overclocking loses money double the watts for 10 percent hash gain



Ill use accurate powermeter and find the best overclock to power ratio.

They make new software firmware andotherWARE for good reasons.



So how much max time do I need to test?

Well, electricity is a wicked thing.
All of it will transform 100.0000% in to heat.

it doesnt have to. It can transform into light in a lightbulb for example.So what does into transfrom itself into in a cpu? Maybe information? Cheesy
I does.
Heat is essentially energy, and that energy is used, in a tungsten wire (your average light bulb) to excite electrons to higher levels, eventually those electrons will fall back to their normal level and when that happens, they release energy (the same amount of energy that was required to excite them to the next level), that energy is released in the form of a photon - light.
So the electric energy was used to excite the electrons, not to produce light. The light was produced from the electrons dropping back.

light bulbs have efficiency ratings like 100% of electricity--->90% light +10% heat. Does your explanation still work?

93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Interesting alternative to CPU GPU ASIC MINING. on: February 23, 2014, 01:27:03 PM
No. To put it simple processor is an copper wire. Through that copper wire electrons travel which is called electric current.
The copper wire is very very thin and any current is big enough to heat those wires.
Transistors inside the core direct voltage (and thus current) to different routes, depending on how much the processor is
used at the moment. So the MAX electricity consumed = TDP
You are right on one thing heat is ALWAYS side product of any electrical product. Think electrical engines an their efficiency.

any current is big enough to heat those wires but not 100% current is converted into heat right?

so how many % of all watts of energy going to cpu is not being converted to heat?

please reply I dont understand yet
94  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Are all gpu coolers compatible with each gpu?How to make sure it will be? on: February 23, 2014, 08:43:17 AM
No, definitely not. Read the manufacturer's web site, they always list supported cards. If they don't then it won't fit, guaranteed.

The The problem is they dont update what cards are compatible with their cooler so Im asking for a general rule to identify which ones will fit like maybe its szie
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Interesting alternative to CPU GPU ASIC MINING. on: February 23, 2014, 08:39:32 AM
Well in electrical machines that dont have moving parts (cpu, memory,ssd etc.) the TDP is the electical consumption.
Since all the energy is transformed in to heat, if there's no moving parts.

Please explain if Im wrong but most of the work is calculations (information). heat is waste "sideeffect''

so am i correct?

But how much do they consume electricity?

all answers I l found looking to answer you show TDP  as max power consumption.This is wrong because TDP means max heat produced in Watts hence the misconception.

Please answer my questions google'ing didnt answer any.
100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Interesting alternative to CPU GPU ASIC MINING. on: February 22, 2014, 07:47:19 PM
Yes they work but don't expect more than 60-80 khash from them though.

why so low? dont they have radeon inside?

can you please answer the other questions becuase there are no search results which answer them
