Hello Cruel World,
I am mining with some GPU's I got second hand off Craigslist. Using Afterburner to overclock to stable limits. Undervolt for temp control, and reduced ram speed to minimum. Using GUIminer and Slush's pool.
XFX Radeon 5770, Paid 40$, 200 MH, 82 degC, Very Noisy, Plays Skyrim OK
Sapphire Radeon 7850. Paid 60$, 300 MH. 52 degC. Half as Noisy, Plays Skyrim High
Right now today I get about.07-.08 bitcoin per day or maybe 2 bitcoin per month. I figure that with the rise in bitcoin price I am just now making like .50 cents a day after electricity.
The biggest obstacle in converting bitcoin to hamburgers is transaction costs. Either high shipping fees or service charges make 2 bitcoin transactions painful.
This is just a hobby for me and I get a kick out of searching Craigslist for cheap video cards and telling people how worthless there old hardware is to me. I love rushing home to update my wallet and seeing the (fractions of) bitcoins stream in. Hearing the email notification on my cell phone of a payout arriving late at night as i sleep is priceless, the noise of the fans whirring away ushering in sweet bitcoin fueled slumber.
I am almost at 5 posts........
