HiYa folks,
Just a quick bit of info on my mining. I have been doing this a long time, almost since the BTC concept began (Silkroad and all) and was solo mining using just my CPU. I didn't have anything more than what my computers had built into them and being a 'geek' for this and a retired custom system builder, my stuff is usually the best that I can afford, better than the stock stuff on the shelves. In all that time I was never lucky enough to find a single block. Slushs Pool came around and I gave that a shot for the better part of a year (maybe more), hated the payout. Tried Eligius, P2P, and GiveMeCoins (still mine LTC & PPC there) and still never hit a block. I knew when kano.is came online but was intimidated by the numbers being pumped out. I've been on BCT a lot longer than my profile shows, mainly as a lurker and seeker of knowledge. I finally felt comfortable with mining here and always knew this was the place to mine. Best pool around, don't know much about the solo pool, but with my luck, it's pool mining on
www.kano.is for me. Best OPs in the biz!!
I learned all the in's & out's, but being the 'average joe', I still had cost to consider. I am retired, my sig line is true and this is what is built now:
Two - S3+ operating (CapnBDL.1&2) in the pool.
Two - RockMiner rBox110 (CapnBDL.3&4) in the pool
Five - USB RedFury sha on GiveMeCoins PPC pool
Three - Gridseed Blades with 1 always mining LTC @ GiveMeCoins and the other 2 mining whatever scrypt I feel might offer a reward in trading for BTC
One - nVidia GTX750Ti2GB video card mining 'quark' on a multi-payout pool.
Any additional equipment pops my circuit breaker (maxed out)
All of these are running overclocked with the exception of the s3's (the electricity outweighed ROI)
I have some other miners NOT on-line (both sha & scrypt), soon to be 'fleabay' listed. (good stuff)
I am ROI on equipment but the electricity cost is close to break even. It's my retirement hobby.
This is the first time (and last) I've ever given out any detail on my experience or equipment, but I am 'NO NOOB' at this. Not sure why I felt the need to air all this out but there it is.
YEA for the pool...My first block, happy to share.
CapnBDL
