After checking some of my nodes...
I have an average of 200 peer connections between all 3.
Today, I have over 700 connections.
So either all of the other bitcoin nodes have fallen down or there is a significant increase in the number of users with bitcoin clients looking for peers......

This would not be too releevant in power, though. Those machines would rarely run 24/7 and contain significant graphics cards. It is way to oearly to get more miners online significantly. Takes at least 2 weeks to get orders through, stuff installed etc. What you see is likely clients that "also mine" with a good percentage of single card miners that are advanced enough to figure that out ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The only sense that is a good read is in the sense that it's a cautionary tale of why not to listen to other peoples nonsense. If someone listened to JJG in April they would have missed out one of the most profitable mining spurts in bitcoin history. It's interesting to look back on such things and go "Wow was that wrong" I suppose.

I didn't mean to imply those were all rabid-overclocker-gpu-miners - only that there were more active clients. Those clients probably aren't even doing any mining at all - just downloading the block chain while the user "figures this newfangled bitcoin thing" out. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Want to see when the next big busines influx comes? Give us a professional client. One that is suitable for Joe Dumbuser ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) For example one that can track users, not just addresses (as in: I want to send 1BT to this shop I was doing business with last week - BY NAME) ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

You guys realize that you just told this guy that a new $1000 mining rig would never generate more than 55 coins, right? Because by "buying $1000 worth of coins and sitting on it" thats essentially what you did. 55 coins 1 year from now will be 55 coins. $1000 if spent on computer hardware will net 50 coins in about 18 days on solo mining (average). Id be PISSED if I took your advice, because after 18 days both methods would be out $1000, but in one scenario you still can generate coins, and have hardware you can sell. If you need help here, it ISNT the scenario where you buy 55 coins outright.
maybe 65 BTC per GHash/s with difficulty increasing as in the past is all he will ever mine.

Yes, that too ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) We need to get rid of the addresses for normal simple transfers - not in the protocol, but I should not have to copy/paste that. I like the link. One disadvantage of the protocol is that one can not attach any information to a transaction... which means at the end either people send fancy numbers (pay 2BTC, send 2.00004322) or use one receiving address per client / invoice. The later is nicer, but adds a lot of complexity to the bookkeeping and handling side. This needs to be sorted out.

I for myself are mining with a single 5870 Card sind 3 days and got 2,5 coins since now. Now i am building two mining rigs With around 1,2GH/s each, and I am looking forward to get those online on tuesday evening. That will result in 6 Times the outcome at the current difficulty. So that means 15 Coins in 3 days or 5 Coins a day. I think it will be around 14 days to the next difficulty increase (after the one tomorrow). So i would say: 65 Coins are mined within 3 weeks.

Until hardware arrives and is up and running, the difficulty might be at ~1 million. Keep in mind that currently difficulty rises at ~50% every 10 days. It is highly unlikely in my opinion to even mine 50 BTC during the lifetime of a new 1000USD machine. You seem to me lke the guy in that story that agrees to put 1 grain of rice on the first field of a chess board and double the amount on each following one. With 1 GH/s you get today: 2.3 BTC and looking at the growth charts at http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ on average 4% less PER DAY. Just do the math yourself...

There was an article published about it on Yahoo. I signed up to check it out. My old computer is getting 900KHash/sec right now. lol
I'm considering upgrading and giving this bitcoin thing a go. Question: How much could a guy expect to make mining in a pool with a new $1,000 machine (purchased wisely)?
Far less than you'll make by buying $1000 worth of bitcoins and sitting on them. Exactly, at the current rate your $1000 investment would be worth $5000 within 1-2 months. I believe every single person thats started mining to date could have made far more money investing money into bitcoin rather than mining hardware. If everyone invested into bitcoin, there wouldnt be any bitcoins to invest in. Remember, both sides of the spoon needs to exist in order to make this market work. That is not true. An average of at least 50 BTC every ten minutes will be generated no matter how few miners there are (so long as there is at least one).

My first post... 11 years ago. I had no idea what I had in store for me as I took this first step down the rabbit hole. I believe I ended up spending $1,400 on a maching with 2x GPUs in it. I thought it was awesome and within a year I had GPUs hanging from wires throughout my home office that were liquid cooled with a giant central radiator. I miss the daily struggle of having the latest software and settings to maximize return. It all felt so hands on back then. What a ride it's been...

Back in 2013 I remember starting on a tiny Radeon HD 7850 video card, then in just a week, revenue plunged from $1/day to just $0.50/day. Difficulty doubled in just 2 weeks. Then I learned about Butterfly Labs and the other ASIC companies. From there, my mining journey was full of making it big, losing it all, recovering losses and ending up at the same point I started, except with a lot more knowledge.

I believe my first GPU purchases for mining were of HD6870s. They weren't the best miners out, but their 5850 counterparts were impossible to find anywhere. That was the first thing that struck me about Bitcoin when I first learned of it... I found it amazing that it created such demand for GPUs, even before anyone had heard of it, that you couldn't find a single 5800 series GPU anywhere. I eventually fell into the Butterfly Labs trap myself, losing close to 500 BTC in the process, but as with you I had gained a great deal of knowledge. Fast forward another couple of years and this whole Bitcoin fad became the thing I spent most of my time working on (working for is probably a better description).
