226  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Advice from someone who isn't a moron on: March 30, 2013, 05:51:19 AM
I'm a moron, but I'll ask this anyway:

What is the purpose of you mining?  Are you doing it to learn about how cryptocurrencies are mined and get firsthand experience?  Are you doing it to make money?

If it is because of the first reason then continue on with your quest. If it is to make a profit then by the time you get your eq and figure out how to keep it stable then BTC mining will not be profitable.  LTC may be if everybody doesn't switch over to it but just looking at the 5x difficulty increase since last month I doubt it.

For both. Just for the entertainment and fun of the whole thing, and for the possibility of making my money back on the venture. Then if I want to switch over to LTC for some profit of some sort (if available) then cool beans.

Cryptocoin Newb Here and a moron to boot, but hey I figured I'd share with you some of the valuable information I've learned, and am now acting on to get a great hashrate like you want! I don't know anything about FPGA's, someone else will have to give you advice on that. This is purely GPU mining advice that I've learned and want to pass on.

NOTE: I'm personally focusing on mining LTC, so I've been looking at building the proper rig for that, to get at least 1.5 M/h for scrypt. I asked a few questions on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=160463.0 and ended up with a handful of great answers from "tacotime" and  "xorxor" and "bitobsessed". So here is what I am doing, maybe you can follow suit - or at least customize it to meet your needs.

CASE:

A nice open case design that is easy to build if you are willing to spend $100 to get the supplies (NOTE: You will need to purchase PCI-E risers from Cablesaurus to use this build)
Open Frame Case Guide

Or you can just get a standard large computer case that can handle an ATX Motherboard, and leave the side open. But mounting the third card could be tricky since you'll need a PCI-E riser.

If you want to look at what other designs people are using for their crazy mining rigs, another great thread here:
Mining Rigs Thread (from hardcore sexy, to ugly huge machines - but hey, they produce $$)


RIG:

Next is a feasible build for LTC (will hash 1500 KH/s after all is said and done):
- MOBO: A board w/ 3x PCI-e x16 (probably more expensive) -OR- 2x PCI-e x16 and 1x PCI-e x1 (this will be easier to acquire)
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: 3x Radeon 7950 GPU's (this will require 6x PCI-E connectors from the PSU)
- PSU: 800W+ 80 Certified that has at least 4x PCI-E connectors, the other 2 will come from Molex -> PCI-E connectors that come with your GPU.
- ONE PCI-E x1 > x16 Powered Risers
- (optional) TWO PCI-E x16 > x16 Powered Risers if you go for the full open case design
- Case: Open Frame Custom Build, or an ATX Mid-Tower

Stick all this crap into one of the open cases, and you have a beauty that looks something like this (except with only 3 cards):


You can obviously modify this design with whatever GPU's you want. The 7950's are particularly good at hashing for LTC, I'm not sure about their ability to hash BTC. You may want to look at the Mining Hardware Comparison chart to find a nice high end card that will hash BTC.

If you need links to specific products let me know. I'll just link you to parts from NewEgg.

I have no idea if this is what you were looking for - hope it helps.

Fatty this is exactly what I am looking for, link me up fatty!!

So I really want to mine. I don't have a box to mine with (only an older iMac), and so my situation is this:

I need to go to a computer store and buy a box and a high end GPU to just mine the shit out of; give me your recommendations. I will send a small amt of BTC to the most helpful person.

I tried to CPU mine litecoin but got about 7.32 kh/s so yeah, not worth shit. I guess what I want is advice on a high end GPU/FPGA that I can spend a bulk of money on to get a great hashrate, buy a cheap box to store the thing in for the sole purpose of letting it sit and solo mine on, any advice?

Still selling good boards for 7 BTC plus shipping and escrow, but I'm getting close to sold out.

Thats a bit much for me atm. Plus im in the USA.

Looks like @PsikoBitcoin doesn't like BTC so whoever correctly answers the latest game #28 can still claim the prize!
234  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: I want to have a serious discussion about BFL on: March 30, 2013, 01:08:36 AM

The FPGAs are *finished and polished* product, easy to use, just plug it in and let it do it's work.

You should at one point open up one of those "polished" products and have a marvel at the mess of hot glue and velcro inside.

So if I wanted to buy an FPGA is there one you would recommended?

Talk to Yohan at enterpoint.

Or bid on my auction.  there are a few slow ones up for bids there still going for a bargain price.

Can you link me?

And thank you for help me I appreciate it! If you have a valid BTC related website I will add it to my sites list for free Smiley

1. Buy as many BFL as you can.
2. Say it's a scam all over the forum.
3. Make people scared to buy, more hashing power for yourself.
4. Huh
5. Profit.

Sorry for outing your methods. (You know who you are.)


lick bfls asss  prove it to them in hope of winning one of there none existing asics prizes


go and blow josh in the steam room  u fruitcake

I want the facts, I want the skeptics points of view, the supporters points of view, fuck even the morons points of view. Everything.

Oh, and to boot, I made this shirt and bought it; so if you like it you can buy it too ^.^
LOL clever. Start a thread begging people to start a flame war about BFL, the deadest horse on BCT, and advertise your new shirt, just like THIS THREAD, and THIS ONE.
This is the best shirt on that site http://skreened.com/bitcoin/block-finder

Put some colored BTC on each cube and I'd buy it.

What color do you want?

I would like to purchase an FPGA.

Please post what you have and your offer.

I can pay in BTC or PayPal.

If BTC I will use escrow through John K.

If PayPal I live in the United States and have a verified address.

PM me or post here! Thanks!
