Poll - What kind of miner are you?

[vitruvio]

New Scale:

• Very Big: >=10% of network hash rate
• Big: >=1% of network hash rate
• Medium: >=1/1000 of the network hash rate
• Small: >=1/10,000 of the network hash rate
• Tiny: >= 1/100,000 of the network hash rate
• Very Tiny >=1/1,000,000 of the network hash rate
• Null: < 1/1,000,000 of the network hash rate

At the current network hash rate of 21.3 TH/s, that corresponds to:

• Very big: over 2.13TH/s
  
• Big: over 213GH/s
  
• Medium: over 21.3GH/s
  
• Small: over 2.13GH/s
  
• Tiny: over 213MH/s
  
• Very Tiny: over 21.3MH/s
  

Edit:

Mining with 7 5870s at 400Mhash each for a total of 2.8Ghash.
...

So does that make us small? I want to be a medium sized miner!!

yes.

I'm almost Tiny, I lack 13Mh/s, but waiting for a couple of jalapeños.

lol, I prefer the old scale

gpu turning asic  high hopes

lol, still waiting for someone to say "oh, just the regular under 18 kind."  Get it, miner/minor? speaking of that, I think there are zero people who aren't around my age (mid 20's) in the bitcoin community, rofl.  This reminds me of DDO.

Anyway, not mining atm but I used to be a high overclocking GPU miner.  Now I'm just waiting for a working, glitch-free, low failure rate ASIC that's proven to work to be released before I get one.  Hmmm what classification would that be...oh yeah, "smart miner" lol.

working and glitch free??? then WHAT will you do with your spare time?
i love diddeling with my mining riggs lol

small and do it just for fun, I came into the mining scene WAY to late to be a big miner. 

Its good to know that mining has paid for my gaming desktop

Tiny miner. 2 card at around 500 mhash. Im slow, but its going . I have high hopes for the future of bitcoin. In about 2 weeks I will be ordering a 60 g/hash device. Have 1 jally on preorder. Mining its a growing process I believe. Start with a few devices, and continue to reinvest. We'll see how it goes

7.96 GH/s of GPU mining over 3 rigs, 10x radeon 5970 cards, 1x radeon 7970
...in my pants

Also when asic arrives it'll be...

67.96 GH/s
...in my pants

I see 3rd degree burns in your future with all that mining going on in your pants...

I started out June 2011 as a small miner with 1 6970. Since then I've owned, traded, and mined with 5770s, 6770s, 5870s, 5970s , 6990s, 7970s and BFL singles. My currenent configuration is 9 singles and 3 7970s. I'd like to think of myself as a med miner but some of you guys mine hard!

I've been mining away on a 5770 for a year and a half now.. I remember thinking how bad the jump up to 500,000 diff was.. doesn't seem so bad now. But I still missed all the real fun before that when the GPU miners first came out. It's been amusing to play around with though and hope it continues to grow.

[bitboyben]

This poll is great I'd love to see a follow up pole on how many Ghash you wanna have when ASIC hits...

[Odi]

small for fun.

I'm a tiny miner, averaging a little under 200MH/s on a 5770 I already had. Kinda wish I'd looked into mining 6 months ago, but oh well.

I have been averaging 210MH/s on each 5770.  300MHz memory, 950MHz core, 1.1V.  I bought two for $100 each when I found out about bitcoin a little over a year ago (I only had nVidia cards back then).  Mined in a pool for a bit until I had $200 worth of BTC to justify buying the hardware instead of coins directly, then I mined solo when the pool I was in kept going down because of lack of maintenance.

I learned about bitcoin after GPUs were already mainstream.  I then forgot about it for a while with my 2x5770 just running in the background, and last week just used the 2 lucky blocks I found to pre-order a bASIC.  Haven't been paying attention to difficulty, I didn't even notice I found the second block solo until 3 months after when I needed to reboot my computer.
