Based on my calculations running a 5 Ghs in the Slush pool I should be able to average out just over 1 to 1.5 BTC a month

Your calculations are wrong 5GH/s would get you 0.0041 BTC per day or 0.123 BTC per month at current difficulty level.

If 1BTC per month is your goal you need at least 40 Gh/s and you would need a mining machine like this http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=52&controller=product&id_lang=1

of course difficulty will rise and this BTC production level will reduce over time.

If you're interested in the 40GH/s machine see this thread I wrote today https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=342086.0

New to this forum, couldnt help but read all the hate on bitcoin (scam, pointless), what gives?  Not just here either, in comment threads about bitcoin across the internet.  

That's also what people said about computers and the Internet. Bitcoin is only the beginning as other altcoins are now emerging into the collective consciousness of the mainsteam. This is clearly evident on the following page: http://coinmarketcap.com/

Soon one of these alt currencies will rise to challenge the mighty Bitcoin. Interesting times indeed.

It's quite clear to me that Bitcoin is the "the chosen one".
MtGox claimed it couldn't support Litecoin because it was DDOS attacked!
903  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What kind of power supply do I need for the HEX16B from technibit.eu? on: November 21, 2013, 03:55:10 PM
A PC power supply, it will run off 12v (Yellow 12v and Black ground) wires.

You should always aim for double your requirements to get in the most efficient power band.

Hex16B are about 50w each. If you bought 4 that's 200w, get a 400w PSU for best efficiency.

Where to get a HEX16B http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=52&controller=product&id_lang=1

Typical 400w PSU http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/power-supplies/computer-psu-atx-power-supply-unit-300w-530w

Cheaper PSUs tend to be less efficient and have annoying noisy fans that run full speed all the time.

Also if power efficiency is important spend the extra 37 euro on the TL-MR3020 router with preloaded CGminer /dd-wrt it will save having a PC/Laptop on 24x7 which cannot beat 1.5w!

TL-MR3020 http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=37&controller=product&id_lang=1

Note the Wifi is disabled you will need to hook it up to a wired network connection.

Accessories you may need are USB cables and a USB hub (if you are running multiple Hex16B's)

Sorry, but the IRS has you by the short and curlies. Whether the limit is now $10000 or $5000 or whatever, the IRS software now tracks ALL withdrawals over $500 or so. If the system finds you making repeated withdrawals (or deposits) just below the limit, they may use civil forfeiture laws to seize your entire Mt. Gox account and any account you deposited into from the Gox account. See.....

It gets reported to the IRS.

If you are not doing anything illegal, don't worry about it, just make sure you are honest when filing your tax return about your Bitcoin income and keep records to prove how you earned the income!

Bitcoin is the free market answer to governments/banks that steal your purchasing power. Inflation is a stealth tax.

You can do more research on how Japan tapered in the 1990s.

Bull! Japan is in the same economic depression it has been in since it refused to let the housing market crash in 1990s.

QE is the suspension of capitalism and the bailout of a plutocrat landlord class. Japan proved it doesn't work!

Mortgages are so long in Japan now that they are passed through the generations from father to son. Children cannot afford to leave home and start a family of their own. They have to live with their parents until they die.

Low interest rates are your enemy, not your friend, they increase asset prices and turn you into a debt slave for longer!

Capitalism requires idiots who fail, to lose their assets, not get a transfer of wealth from the prudent! That way lies Communism and Fascism.

I'd rather buy 2 Bitcoin mining machines with the money, but you have to have some tech skills to set them up.

http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=52&controller=product&id_lang=1

They accept Bitpay even though it doesn't say up front.

They would create a bitcoin a month at current difficulty, but it has investment risk, and obviously over time returns would diminish as difficulty rises.

For the none tech people just hold some coin and forget about it for 10 years.  Wink

As I often explain to Keynesians..

you assume populations can grow forever and resources never run out!

I hate to break it to them but we live in a finite world and we just hit peak energy!

We are in a deflationary cycle and to survive it we will need a deflationary currency.

For that price, i wait KNCminer or Bitfury.

$2800 for 180GH/s no other sellers? How about...

4x Technobit Bitfury HEX16B 40Gh/s (45GH/s overclocked) = 180GH/s for $2480 @ 200w and no import duty for EU.

The shipping says 2 Euros is that applicable for Australia?
Please read carefully
This is only packing with your shipping.
To Austria shipping option is 3 day DPD road - 30 EUR

I love how people keep mixing up Australia and Austria, in the Bitcoin delivery world! Wink

Woo, courier visited today. Onto installation, need to rebuild cgminer. No Instructions with the device... configure --enable-avalon?
I seem to be stuck, cannot compile cgminer which would recognise the device... applied the latest cgminer patch for 3.8.1, but configuring with --enable-hexminerb doesn't do anything. Even edited cgminer.c to include hexminerb stuff but no dice...

Did you try the download page for the latest patches from the Technobit page?
http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=53&controller=product&id_lang=1#

Also take a look at this YouTube tutorial, for a different hex miner, but it might help.. they use a proxy for windows and USB serial port emulation.
http://youtu.be/l9SgoVm16Sw?t=3m34s

I personally went the extra 37euro for the TL-MR3020 router with preloaded CGminer /dd-wrt as a low power host for the HEX16 boards

nice review and thanks for the great effort! these boards are the only ones i saw without HW errors... must be pretty good workmanship...

I think I read somewhere the HW errors are a dissabled metric it's not really zero.
915  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Getting Bitfury USB miners to work on: November 20, 2013, 12:25:15 PM
I dont know what make your using but HEX miner Bitfury boards have to run a proxy program to work in windows.

Make sure your really have USB 2 ports, and if using a USB hub, that it's a powered one.

Some feedback..

The window of opportunity is closing on 55nm. You gotta build this ASAP! I have a pending order. Wink

Is this board with or without chips?
The question is not answered yet.
with chips
Remove those two messages saying..
"Shipment up to 4 weeks after reciept  chips"
"Shipment up to 4 weeks after reciept of your chips"
It's got to be confusing buyers into thinking they got to send chips and hurting your sales!

Your 2euro packing fee is also going to confuse people into thinking it's a delivery service.
Just add 2 euro to the final price. Everything's going to get boxed anyway?

Add the Bitpay logo near the PayPal/CC logos so people know they can buy with Bitcoins before going through the ordering process!

Don't e-mail people their password! LOL, or at least obscure it! The NSA knows it now! Shocked

No! Litecoin was designed to keep mining on a bog standard PC parts so everyone got a fair share of the coins.

It's the Communist version of Bitcoin  Wink

It does it by requiring lots of expensive memory for the calculations.

The only way to get ahead is use graphics cards with lots of memory. A 2Gb version of the same GPU will run more caluculations than the 1Gb version.

+1 Yeah it's called an "arbitrage fraud" where you promise something in order to get a free loan for currency speculation and then you refund the money after the currency rises and pocket the difference.
