I might have 4 1gb chips I can come up with. PC2-4200 dont want your hardware I quit mining a long time ago. I could use some cash though.

the only thing I'm really concerned about is blowing a fuse with that much power running. I may have to limit it to three or four cards per system. That's not as bad as 1500W sitting on one outlet.
Make sure you get a Kill-A-Watt meter if you don't already have one! http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.htmlI'm a electronic engineering major, I kinda know what I'm doing. 110 to 125V @ 15A is 1650W to 1875W, you cant have a power supply bigger than that on one outlet or the fuse will blow. its best to stay around 70% of max power per outlet to be safe. So, 1155W-min to 1312.5W-max power supply should be good per outlet. This is to keep the intensity down on the outlet so there is no fire hazard. Also power supplies draw +/- 20% of what it says it does. 500W power supply is really any where between 400W to 600W |

very cool, thank you. I like ASUS and Intel brands myself, I ran my 423 chipset for 14 years the motherboard resently died. |

if CPU dont matter, you could get away with a Celeron. I suppose the biggest challenge is finding a good motherboard.

very cool, I built this system not knowing anything about mining, I resently found out about bitcoins around may 2013. Then July I found out about LTC. This is my upgrade from my old 423 chipset I did have. I'd like to deicate it all to new technology since the 7770 is an older model. currently that is all I have but I will post what parts are reachable cost. spending $1000 on just a CPU is just silly, unless you have serious plans for it. the higher end CPUs are a little better for mining, but the GPUs out proportion the CPUs I will agree with that. I want the entire system to mine without overclock and too much stress. My CPU runs at 70% with the mining which leaves plenty of room to do other things.

I'd like to build a PC thats sole purpose for scrypt mining. If this works out I'd be willing to produce these for others. Currently this is my idea post, I've been into PC development since I was young. I was born in 1985, owed a computer since 1989. I propose Scrypt mining because you are able to build a standard PC to mine with. I'm going to start setting up what combonations I think would work best for this purpose.
My Current setup isn't that great but I'll post what I have:
Motherboard: ASUS P6T LGA1366
CPU: Intel i7 930 LGA1366 (35 Khash/s with all 8 threads, 28 to 30 Kh/s with 5 threads) pooler-cpuminer
Memory: 15 Gb 1066 Mhz
SSD: Kingston 120Gb
Video Cards: 2x Asus Nvidia 9800GT 512Mb 258-bit (16Kh/s per card) cudaminer???
Power Suppy: 600W
I built that system 2010, and only had to upgrade the power supply from a 425W.
I would like to start researching what parts are realistic, since the cost of bitminers are still a little rich and/ or false claims. This way if it dont work out atleast the parts can be used for something else, besides having 100's of unipurpose bricks laying around.
This posts purpose is to introduce myself and say that I am a real people. I will edit this post with my findings, and Thank you for thoughs read this post.
Dbendure.
Potential Build:
Motherboard: Z87-EXPERT $229.99 3x PCIe x16 3.0, and 4 PCI
CPU: BX80646G3220 $69.99 supports PCIe x16 3.0
RAM: 4Gb 1333
SSD/HDD: pending
Video Cards: R9290-4GD5 $519.99 atleast one to start out with.
Power Supply: TPG-1200M $299.99 supports three cards comfortably
(
3 x 300W = 900W,
900W + (20%*900W) = 1080W,
900W - (20%*900W) = 720W,
which leaves 120W for the system, may need rethought...
)
TPX-1475M $329.99 to support the other four both are 80 plus gold +/- 20% Watts
(
4 x 300W = 1200W,
1200W + (20%*1200W) = 1440W,
1200W - (20%*1200W) = 945W
)
Case: pending
Cooling: pending

Can we stop mining doge coins.. not worth much.
Neither was BTC but now look at it. |

PHP API STUFF: This is just what I have setup on my end. Not sure if it helps anyone, but its away to work with your api with all that you are mining from multipool.us. <?php $test5 = json_decode( file_get_contents(' http://api.multipool.us/api.php?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>')); echo "<hr>"; $type = array("arg", "btc", "cap", "cgb", "dgc", "dmd", "doge", "frc", "ftc", "lky", "ltc", "mec", "mnc", "nvc", "ppc", "pxc", "tag", "trc", "wdc", "zet", "tips", "gdc", "moon" ); echo "<table cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' border='1'><tr><td>MultiPool Info</td></tr>"; foreach($type as $val){ //echo "$val <br>"; if(($test5->currency->$val->confirmed_rewards > 0)){ echo "<tr><td>*</td></tr><tr><td>Pool Type</td><td>$val</td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td>confirmed_rewards</td><td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->confirmed_rewards; echo "</td></tr>"; if(($test5->currency->$val->hashrate > 0)){ echo "<tr><td>Hash Rate</td><td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->hashrate; echo "</td></tr><tr><td>estimated_rewards<td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->estimated_rewards; echo "</td></tr><tr><td>payout_history</td><td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->payout_history; echo "</td></tr><tr><td>pool_hashrate</td><td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->pool_hashrate; echo "</td></tr><tr><td>round_shares</td><td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->round_shares; echo "</td></tr><tr><td>block_shares</td><td>"; echo $test5->currency->$val->block_shares; echo "</td></tr>"; } } } echo "</table>"; echo "<hr>"; ?> |

why does dogecoin-qt crash everytime I try to encrypt it?
|
|
|
|
|
what link gives you the api info?
|

cant say I didn't try, if I had more I'd offer more though.

KNC October Jupiter mining at 570 gh/s
0.01BTC?
I'd like one but I don't have a lot to spend.

Can anyone give me a quick hint here? I'm trying to connect 48 block erupters distributed on 6 USB hubs on a single rig and BFGMiner doesn't load, just gets stuck at showing me the version number. I've gotten rid of 1 of 2 rigs, so all worked well before with the settings below but now maybe there are too many devices? C:\bit\b06\bfgminer.exe -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u XXXX.XXXX3 -p ******* -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 This argument worked well for upto 25 block erupters, never before have I tried 48 on one machine. Any help is appreciated. I have a few question... How do you have it wired? How many usb ports is PC using? Do you have USB 2.0 or 3.0? What type of hubs are you using? Do you have enough power? |

Does anyone want to help me out by mining in one of my pools for 24 hours? just thought i would ask.
