If you're goin' to bring on the funny, at least add a pic (or two, or three, or...).



All your hosted toasters can be remotely overclocked (note the clock).
Security is not an issue at our hosting facility (note the cameras).
Anything hashed can immediately be obfuscated (note the not one, but two mixers).

Before some smart-ass inquires about cooling all them toasters...



At TMF (Toaster Mining Facility), we were the first to introduce internal cameras to view the innards of each and every Toaster Miner, making sure 24/7 that maximum hashing is achieved.



Speaking of 24/7, a myriad backup generators stand at ready in case of the proverbial struck by lighting event.



Unlike other hosting firms, TMF does not farm out its support center to some Third World Country, but is Red-manned right here in the US of A.



Of course, TMF is not just a hosting facility for your precious miners. Far from it. We also build custom Toaster Miners, hence recently acquiring the state-of-the art overflow oven off eBay.



The next time you're in town, please stop by TMF, whereupon our well-trained flock would be happy to give you the grand tour.

What did you buy for $2000?

1. Who is still doing it and what hashrate are you getting?

2. Any advice on what pool I should join or what mining software I should use, etc?



I just ordered my mining gear for $2000..... am I making a huge mistake?


please respond

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Middlecoin.com vs Multipool.us

I did a split test over 1 week to find out which was the most profitable pool. I pointed 1.800 Khash on each pool (100% identical hardware) and started them at the same time.
(a test should be done over a few months, but I wanted max profit now, so I only did 1 week)

On middlecoin.com it's very easy and simple, and no setup is required at all. However there is less control and much less information available.

On multipool.us I set up an account on Cryptsy and set every alt coin to auto payout to cryptsy. Then I set cryptsy to auto exchange every alt coin to bitcoin as soon as they came in, so this should give more

Multipool.us

7 days of mining with 1800 Khash

Paid out: 0.09583497
Remaining balance: 0
Unexchanged: 0,0010403
Immature: 0
Total: 0.09687517 (of which 0.0096669 is stuck in minor bit's of alt coin that cryptsy won't exchange before there is 1.0 of that alt coin)

Note: Keep in mind that cryptsy have a 0.00050000 BTC fee for bitcoin withdrawl, regardless of how little/much you take it. So if you wan't to take out BTC to your wallet every day, this would come to allot. If you feel safe holding lots of bitcoins in an altcoin exchange, that's less of an issue. (I personally don't like holding bitcoins in altcoin exchanges as they are highly vulnerable to 51% alt coin attacks as far as I understand it)

Link: I have no link for this, since money held in an exchange, does not have a public address. (or any unique address at all)


In conclusion, I pointed all my miners on middlecoin.com after this test.
