I read the newbie restrictions...guess I have to post here first in order to post elsewhere. So here it is.
I originally bought a couple of GPUs to do some pentesting with oclHashcat. While in the process of seeking out these (GPUs) out I became aware of bitcoin and realized that I could use the GPUs to mine them. So that's what I did. As I did more reading about BTC it became clear that GPUs were not going to cut for very long, so I dove into block erupters. Neat little devices, work great, and use a whole lot less juice to run. Luckily, I bought them just as the price/device was falling and sat on the sideline until the price settled out to about $67+-. So now I'm mining with 10 BEs and 1 GPU until I can pick a few more BEs when the next orders from Asicminer and the rest hit the shelves, hopefully cheaper, then I'l retire the GPU. Yes, I know "mining time's a waistin" but I don't expect to make any money on this little venture unless the price of BTC heads skyward. So I'll wait awhile to see if the asics drop in price again then pick up enough to fill another hub.
Ok, this should be enough lines to qualify as a "substantial" post.....start the 4 hour clock
