How many newbies are mining?

[Mark™]

Tried once with CGminer, started to hog lots of RAM and CPU and so I had to kill it. Haven't mine ever since then.

Started GPU mining 3 month ago with a single 7950. Now I am at 5 Mh/s and can't stop building more rigs.

Guess it's an obsession.

I'm researching on it at the moment.  Was exploring whether to use 2 x 280X or 2 x 290 since it is about 80USD difference here (per card).

Great to see so many newbie miners... its good for the network plus there's loads of altcoins these days too. The altcoin market is only going to get bigger too.

There will be losers but from time to time there will be altcoin winners.

All these altcoins are very confusing for a beginner like myself, hard to sapparate the good from the bad

I did the math,  mining BTC's isn't worth the cost of electricity?  So why is it being done?

I've been mining for a year with a milk crate rig powered by three Sapphire 7950's. It's been fun and very interesting.

If they don't have asics people mine alt coins, mostly scrypt based,  they can still be profitable.

Plus, some users support the ideology even if it's not too profitable.

Not newbie, in crypto for over a year, have been mining for less than 20 hours on shitty Nvidia, but it has mined so small amount, that I've decided to buy some altcoins instead of mining.

 mining since mid dec '13, i've tried as many alts as i can, "diversifying my holdings", + has a good learning benefit: separate the seed from the chaff! (but sometimes the chaff is worth more in the short run)
   i think what weare doing here is revolutionary

in the hands of the ppl is where our coin should be

so soon you will be printing real money right off that old HP of yours

Mining Klondike Coins for the last 2 weeks with 2 7950's. You have to choose the coins you mine carefully to earn the most BTC

[bearbear]

just starting here.. I don't know which one to mine

[colinfx]

Mining here.... Now 6Mh/s with 10 x 7970's - not running as fast as they can but at least stable.

Have been lucky with my first mined coins - both DOGE and MOON.

[coinerbit]

Just started mining for the first time this weekend.. was hoping to mine some new alt coin on upon it's release  but    all the ones i decided to try this weekend have been fail launch

Hopefully somethin good comes around by monday

would you mind sharing your settings? i can only get ~670 khps in linux, ~570 khps/windoz (visiontek r-280x) though i think it might be the PCIEx16 slots/mobo i have are kinda old - they are v.2.0....

[QuarkZ]

I mine a little bit, but really more for fun than anything else since i get maybe 280khps. But still i make a few coins lol
