My current setup is simply 2 Jally's and one single SC 50gh/s all in my closet at the moment. Thinking about getting a cabinet to place em in though.
Why are you still using such old and inefficient hardware? Unless electric is free I don't see the point. because it's fun ? Better cheap fun hardware, I totally get it although I would go for an s1 and undervolt it down instead. |

not really. i pay 0.064 and it was not worth it at ~$330 BTC
dpends on how optimistic you are regarding price and network difficulty growth slowing down over the next 12 months. At $0.13 USD/kwh my assumptions include >$1000 by 2016 and difficulty growth sticking around 4-5%/jump for the next while, at least until price growth. Theres also the fact that hardware often sells used for 2-3x its mining value near the end of its life. Right now, S3 units are still selling for $200 and the S1 goes for ~$50 on sites like kijiji, craigslist, ebay, despite the fact you can get new hardware that is similar hashrates but more efficient for similar $/GH. all i can say is good luck to you LOL. im not going to pay $700 a month in power bills hoping to make money some time down the road maybe (probably not) s1 are not going for $50 on ebay. maybe in including shipping. i sold 70+ of them for about $20-$25 on ebay a couple weeks ago. and the s3s for $150-$180 including shipping No one realizes that all you have to do is make friends with some guys in the dorm for free utilities! I have never heard of a dorm where utilities aren't free, but it is usually archaic wiring. (I had a laptop catch fire from an electric surge) If you can survive for four months, then you've paid off your miner! Eh, just get a surge protector power strip thingy... Get a good one, high amount of joules protection. At least with my university they required mac address to connect to the network, you might have to run the miners through a pi and at worst case scenario buy a hotspot. |

Not going to be able to get insurance for that kind of hardware and price. |

More pictures and less talking!  X11 mining? |

Datacenters and fine and dandy to see but I rather see the home setups and personal rigs, the datacenters are the things killing the local miners.
