Thank you for the Awesome "Bitcoin mining profitability calculator"

I jumped up and down with this calculator.  But its going to take me 200 days to brake even with a 2GH/s machine.  Wow that kind of sucks.
Then I look around the website you give me and saw those mining rigs that are going a crazy speed of 25GH/s and 50GH/s.  It is cost almost the same as building a 2GH/s PC.   I think I will buy one of those mining rigs instead.  The amount of power and mining I can do with it will make me a ton of money.
Almost to go to be true.  Which makes me question the "Bitcoin mining profitability calculator" also.  Is this website for real?

I mean a 50 GH/s Bitcoin Miner will cost almost the same as me building a 2GH/s PC.  Why does everyone on Youtube have a PC mining rig?  I don't understand.

Also, what is ks?  I am lost yet again.  I thought for a moment I understood.

Ok, how about these questions.

What speed would have have to have in-order to solo mine?  I am going to throw around some numbers.  Maybe. 20GH/s  50GH/s?   LOL!  I don't know.

So, I guess almost everyone pool mines. 

At 2GH/s how much will I make a month pool mining and in what pool?



Thank you for the help guys!

I will be hopefully getting a rig that will give me about 2GH/s its going to cost a lot but it should give me a lot back in the long run, I hope.
Currently I have a piece of trash for mining, so been pool mining for a month now.  Only a awesome 0.022 BTCs.  LOL!


I got a question about mining in general.

The question I got right now is,
If I get a 2GH/s mining rig should I continue pool mining or would it be better to Solo mine at that point?


Thank you for your help!

Blarg.

I see.  After looking at those cards I now see that the software I am using is most likely faulty.  Screenshot shows what the miner is doing.  Really weird.

Thank you for all the information.  Hopefully it won't cost me an arm and a leg to build a bitcoin rig.


Cheers!

Greetings and Salutations,

I am a Newbie bitcoin, California Solo Miner.  LOL!

Just started using "Litecoin" and "Reaper" today.

Getting around 1.6GH/s to 1.62GH/s
Is that good?  I am using my video card "Geforce 9800 GTX+ XLR8"

I am still a bit confused on the whole process.  Is there a Dumb/Stupid/Newbie extreme edition set by set on how to solo mine.  Because I have no idea what in the world I am doing.  Feeling really dumb here.

Also, If I went out to buy a new video card what is the the most important thing I need to look at.  GPUs, shadders, ect.....


Thank you for your time from,
