Ok I'm at home and ready to work on the website again. Someone already gave some suggestions which I worked on so I'm ready to receive more suggestions. Thank you ahead guys:)
622  Other / Beginners & Help / Can you mix&match Gpu? on: May 14, 2013, 08:28:02 PM
If I want to make a rig that can hold 4 GPU, would any problems occur if I tried to put a AMD 7770, 7950, and 2[7970] or a similar configuration using those graphics cards. My reason is because 7770 are cheaper so I can start with those and as I make money upgrade, or upgrade as I want to.

Also, I know I'd probably be setting myself up for trouble but what if I mixed and matched AMD & Nvidia (I know Nvidia isn't for mining:)).

Thanks ahead guys!

You can get 7970s. I think they use 200 watts/each so you need to multiply 200(number of GPU's) + like 150 watts to spare. Try to go for the most efficient PSU's to save electricty.

I use coinotron.com and it works well for me. I tried connecting to some other LTC pools but they were down, coinotron was always up. Plus, coinotron allows you to mine other coins if you want to, which I see as a good thing because they can sometimes be more profitable.
625  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: linux vs windows on: May 14, 2013, 08:18:22 PM
For me they mine pretty much the same, however, they do have some differences.

Windows: You have to pay for. Maximum of 4 GPU's if you want it to remain stable. Easier to use (IMO).
Linux: Free, can use more than 4 GPU's and it remains stable. Harder to use (IMO).

Seems interesting, however I don't want to take the risk, and why should we trust you to do this, it just reads like a scam, you should use John K. for escrow.

Wrong section.
628  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: looking to buy BTC with moneypak - $400 on: May 14, 2013, 08:15:11 PM
This belongs in the marketplace section. Or you can trying using Mt. Gox. When you post it here, it looks like a scam.
629  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Hash Rate Jumps Up 39% In 10 Days. From 71mil to 99mil on: May 14, 2013, 05:09:37 PM

double +1... I feel like that jump was called by Asics because a 20 th/s jump in GPU is 34,000 high end GPU~.... that's a lot:)... if it was Asics this will just get worse and worse over time.

Woohoo, goodthing governments are taking action to help make bitcoins more popular.

I see where he's coming from because if a bigger play saw the opportunity in over $1b in bitcoins being released over the next years they could move over and take over a large portion in network hashing power to attempt to get these bitcoins. However, he still isn't upgrading his mentality.

And this belongs in the news section I think:)

I'd like to know your feedback on this site

The site is good in terms of simplicity/minimalist styling.

The content could be improved by differentiating each item in the list rather than using the rather bland moniker "faucet x"
eg. add another column with a bit of information about each link such as

Faucet 1 ..... bitcoins daily
Faucet 2 ..... bitcoins for viewing ads
Faucet 3 ..... bitcoins for participating in surveys

etc...

Ok, I'll go work on that right now and update this thread when it is completed. Thank you so much for your suggestion!

I've updated the list with the ones that I can find but I can't figure out all of them until adf.ly updates showing me all of the links. I have 13 that I haven't managed to complete yet.
633  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Faucet List: Get Some Free Bitcoins on: May 14, 2013, 04:42:49 PM
... and several of them are dead. 

I have found one. Please comment here with the faucet# on the list of any you find to be dead (such as faucet#9 ect...).

Morning bump for today:)... some of you guys are visiting the website still so I'd like to know your feedback on this site and if there are any sites you would like to make in the future to support bitcoins.

oh...well that makes me sad about BFL's shipping times. and avalons are too expensive

what are your recommendations for joining bitcoin mining as a beginner?
im looking for something cheap and effective miner that can net me atleast $25/day (.2 BTC right now). So should i build a GPU miner, buy an ASIC off ebay, or maybe an FPGA?

FPGA's you can buy though there less effective. Try and get Asics already out there. I saw a USB one which did 300mh/s and is available now. (on this forum in a thread somewhere)... you would need 13 so 26btc.
637  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Average payout with 5 GH/s + Slush's Pool on: May 14, 2013, 05:44:58 AM
by then it's not unlikely people will be pushing 500+ghash on their own with DIY asic chips.

You'd need to put in a considerable investment. Developing ASIC chips is not cheap. You'd need several million spare for development and more. I doubt BFL will let any old tom dick or harry use their IP. I'm sure there are many more companies like BFL will appear over time. It's a good thing for BitCoin companies are sinking this much in R&D. Difficulty continues to increase...

There is someone whose already developed a board for Avalon's Asics which they are releasing in batches of 10,000. You would need 10,000 to build yourself a 1.5 th/s rig... and I calculated once, the cost of that rig would be like $200,000 using the guy whose already built the board for help. At the current difficulty, that's like 60 btc/day or $6000 a day which means it would pay itself off rather quicky if you could have it now. .2 BTC a day (which I've heard is 4gh/s from another post on this topic) requires 8 GPU which you would put on 2 motherboards or around a $4000 investment + 2kw/h of power~

Before bed bumpity bump bump... bump bump... will check out this thread in the morning let me know if you have any recommendations to help improve the list please (you can use this thread, pm me, or the comments section of the article). Thank you!
639  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [8500 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + UserDiff; ASIC tested on: May 14, 2013, 02:36:36 AM
why isn't asicminer solo mining? wouldn't think it makes financial sense to mine in a pool, sharing the win with others...

Right now bitcoin network difficulty is at around 85 th/s from what I see. Avalon Asic = 66 gh/s or 1/1333 of that. Since 150 bitcoins are released every hour it would take you 9 hours to get 1 bitcoin. Since they are released in blocks of 25, you would need to wait ~9.4 days to get a single block... I would rather be paid regularly. If I had ~10 Asics though I would mine solo.

Well we have an hour to go so i guess it doesn't even matter at this point. Would of been nice to have the request fulfilled when originally posted.

Your original post was more than a day ago.  You had plenty of time to deal with the situation yourself:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have 5 posts and at least 4 hours on the forum.

Failure to plan on your part does not make it an emergency on anyone else's.

Furthermore, failure to plan is a plan for failure.

It's fine I did plan by staying loged on. I posted in the proper section to get unbaned and the request never occured. Theres nothing I can do just though would post again to save me an extra hour, which isn't that big of a deal anyway.

Anyway thanks for the help

It is very rare for the request to be fulfilled in the 4 hours and you shouldn't count on it... that was a failure to plan on your part.
