okay thanks,

so is there an overview about buying/selling platforms and how much they charge for a transaction? Also, is there one with an API?

Hi,

I wanted to try out Bitcoin and just play around a bit. So where is it save to buy it and keep it? Also, is https://de.cryptonator.com/api relyable or does anyone know a better API or Marketinfos? Or some nice analysis online tool?

Thanks Smiley
3  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Beginner needs help - Hardware vs. Cloud on: May 15, 2014, 09:05:20 AM
Hi,

I want to start mining. Of course I hope to get a bit of money back but I mainly do it for fun.

I read about it half a year ago or so and back then, using CPUs/GPUs was bad, so someone told me to buy specific hardware. I can't remember the name, it cost about 700$ and mined for about 200-300$ a month. But it is possible, that this calculations were wrong because I just believed the basic infos of the seller, at the end, I didn't buy it because it felt strange and I had a lot of stress doign other stuff.

Anyway, now I want to start. The only thing which is important to me: I don't want to make - longterm.

Can anyone tell me how much you earn for e.g. 1 GH/s? (I assume it scales linear, right?)
Maybe there is kind of a cloud service where I just can pay 10$ a month and get some bitcoin back? Would also like to do simple trading Smiley

So, I'd be gladful if you could suggest me some hardware and a clodu service. (I know that it also depends on how much I pay for electricity, which is quite a lot)

Any tipps would be nice.

I start a new thread because the ones I found were rather old.

Also I don't see why someone would make a bitcoin cloud mining service if the generated product is more worth.
4  Other / Beginners & Help / Gettign started into mining with ASIC MINER Block Erupter USB/Blade on: September 03, 2013, 10:29:49 PM
Hi,

Actually, I wanted to start mining using some hardware and play around etc. but since I read that GPUs are not good anymore because the electricity costs too much, I'm going to buy some cheap product. I'll calculate everything nicely and show it here, if you help me getting some numbers.

Question 1:
How much Bitcoins do you get per MH?

Question 2:
Are CPUs and GPUs are really that bad? Where do I get the best benefit from?

Question 3:
Which device do you suggest? I don't have a lot of money, really don't. Really max. is a 750$ blade. (too expensive?) So I can't buy any big 800$ mini server thing. I came across ASIC MINER Block Erupter USB, can you suggest these? I also liked them, because i thought about reinvesting into the mand buy more with the bitcoins I get. Which is easily done using such a modular "system". And if you like them, what USB Hub? I'd start with about 5.

Question 4:
What computer system do you recommend? Are there any old motherboards etc. which are mostly used? Otherwise, I'll just try out some of the stuff I have lying around, which is quite a lot. Atm I'd use a Raspberry PI with MinePeon.

Question 5:
A GUI Win7 or a small light weight unix console dist without GUI? Do they differ in watt consumption?

Question 6:
What should I look for when choosing a pool?

Question 7:
Where can I look up how much Bitcoins I get for 1 gh/s for one day (or any duration)? And where can I look up rates of exchange?

Thanks. If i have the information, I'll calculate everything to see if it's worth it. Then I also try to make some battery system so I buy the electricity at night (cheaper) also I'm planning on calculating some small solar panels. Smiley

I'm not hoping for getting 10k of $, it'f fun but it would be nice if I get something.

Any starting user guides are welcome.

Thanks
