Thank you for your warning, seems I didnt do enough research... What companies are currently shipping asics?

I agree with both of you, but I don't believe that will happen within the next 6 months. And either way, a massive spike in diff could very well send the prices skyrocketing. They're already low now, and slowly going up, so there no definitive proof that its not too late to get into the GPU mining game.

Unfortunatly BAMT wont work for me as im going to build a 7850 system> But I'm glad to see there are a couple out there, maybe we will get something new soon to replace the old software

From the research I've done it depends on the clock of the card, but @ 900Mhz itll get ~350kh/s

Hello, I understand that I am new to the scene and lack reputation, and for that reason I say now, if you have no interest in funding me or wish to labal me a scammer, you can leave now.


I have done the math on what would be the most optimal setup for a GPU mining rig. I pay no electricity so there is no overhead cost other than the hardware itself.
I need $1400USD to set up a LTC mining rig from scratch. I am looking to build a rig with 3 Sapphire 7950's with room to expand to 4 later down the road.


The Terms of the loan would be as follows (All considering a $2USD/1LTC Exchange Rate and Hash Rates slightly under estimated)

$1400USD + 40% ($560USD)

Payments of ~270/month for a 7 month - This is an estimate of the amount of ltc the rig will mine per month @ $2USD/1LTC. All mined coins will be put towards the loan until it is paid off, regardless of current       exchange rate. As of this posting the exchange is @ $2.49USD/1LTC, so you can expect the return before 7 months.

Security for the loan shall be in my daily job. Should the price of LTC fail or if something major should happen to the rig and it cant mine, $200USD of my paycheck would take the place of the rig in payments, for a return rate of 10 months. (should this be the case, the total interest would increase to $600)




I can provide the following to Interested Parties.
*Government-issued photo ID
*Pay stubs or income tax returns (unnecessary if you provide SSN, address, current employer, and consent to credit check)
*Proof of funds to repay in a timely main should something happen.
*Consent to perform a credit check


If you would like to discuss this is further detail, send me a pm and we can set up a time to talk.

Thank you for you time and consideration, and I hope to hear from someone soon.

Which manufacturer is the card your using for this and what the wattage use?

Anyone know if there is a distro of linux that is built for mining crypto? My current plan is to just use ubuntu when i finally get together the funding to build a rig, but want to know what my options are.

not necessarily a good computer. A set of good video cards, or an asic/fpga board. Do your research and youll see what you need to work towards.

You basically use your computers GPU or CPU ( the former more than the latter ) to proccess code either for yourself ( slow not very profitable ) or with a pool ( payments more consistent ) to solve blocks which award cryptocurreny, ie bitcoins, litecoins, etc.

Does you mobo support pcie3.0? if it does, try going into bios and changing the pci ports to run 2.0 instead

i was looking into getting a 7970. how are you liking it so far?

seems a bit expensive. its fpga setups worth the initial investment?

seems like some easy coins! glad i saw this!

Nice to see people have humor on here.

Me? Im just a lowly chef looking to supplement his income with some virtual awesomeness
