Well since this is the BITCOIN section I'd have to say none. If you want a useful answer you need to move this to the altcoin section. GPUs and Baikal cubes are useless for BTC.

Not in this BITCOIN section, no. Move this thread to the altcoin section (and the answer will still be no).
|

All of this is completely irrelevant since this is the BITCOIN section. Move this thread to the altcoin section.

never did win. came close once. probably just caused a lot of noise.
Philip, sorry to be so cheeky. Are you gonna be 60 this year?
Someone should organize a whip round for you to get some beers.
bet no one ever tips you, all you do round here...
Now THAT'S a smashing idea! I'd totally be in for something like that. |

|
Check again. GPU mining for BTC is dead, dead, dead...  |
|
|
|
|
Move this to the altcoin section and you're sure to get more, and relevant, feedback.

Go to the altcoin mining section(s), start reading up, and you'll have all the options possible for CPU/GPU mining. This is the Bitcoin area and is not applicable.

And another from blockmines. Block Friday IS ON!!  Edit - That was a BACK-TO-BACK block! Hell yeah!  |
|
|
|
And another block by jimmy. On fire!!  |
|
|

Just a couple quick points: Firstly, I love seeing the pool's hashrate up and holding at 75-80 PH. While I've not been mining as long as I'd have liked to, nice to see the pool grow a good 3 to 4 times since I've been hanging around. Secondly, it was very generous of you, Kano-san, to pay for dinner for both me and me mate Daryll (who I've known since we've been kids) as he was just along for the ride as they say and we weren't expecting it anyway... So when Kano says on any meet and greets that dinner's on him, he's not kidding!  And a block while I'm pontificating away...!!! Mine ON! |

Well the point is to NOT send a miner to a regular data center since they tend to cater to those who need large server type of data service, with lots of data in and out. We miners only need power (lots of it...) and a little bit of internet data, hence the problem with sending miners to an everyday data center. For miners you want to send them to a "hosting facility" specifically for mining. There are numerous ones that can be looked up here, but I went with Cryptoboreas in Canada and they have some of my miners, and will be getting more soon enough. Alan is a straight-shooting guy, and while he deals with clients with at least and order or 2 of magnitude more hash than I (yes, 10 to 100 times more...), he's been as responsive as if I were too, and will do as time goes on. Calculating ROI is easy enough. Depending on your hosting facility's pricing, you should be looking at $55-$65 per kWmonth. Compare that to the power usage and expected coinage from a particular miner and you'll know if you're good to go or not. Just my 0.02 BTC, as always YMMV. Mine on! |

This section is for Bitcoin, and Bitcoin has been way beyond CPU and GPU mining for a long time now. GPUs are still used for altcoins, and if that's the direction you want to go you need to move this to the altcoin section. If you want to mine Bitcoins, only ASIC miners are applicable.

I'm guessing you got a quote at a 'normal' datacenter instead of a mining-centric one. I'd check into other options, because indeed it should be $55-$65 per kWmonth with connection to the 'Net included since miners don't use much data overall.

Bitcoinwisdom shows hashrate going down right now. Wonder what's happening, maybe a farm swapping out miners or shutting down? We might all be off the mark this time.
Indeed, now I KNOW I'm too high...!! |

Your best solution at this stage is to move your question to the altcoin section.
|
|
|
|
|
I think you're years too late if you want to mine BTC with a GPU...
Try the correct altcoin section.

Hope I'm too high!

Thanks again philip for keeping the game alive!

Depends on if a valid key can be generated with any 12 random words you want. I generate my keys offline, so when I get a set of seed words to backup my wallet address the seed words are derived from my key, not the other way around. If you indeed can pick 12 words and it generates a valid key from that then you could do that but would you really want to? If you get one wallet compromised you'll have them all exposed, no?

Considering how the seed words are generated based on wallet address, good luck with that!
