Introduce yourself :)

I don't know exactly, but I would guess somewhere around 450.  That sounds great, but I have sold most of them already and for much less than I could now!  I only have 25 coins left.

I started with the card I already had in my computer and it was getting about a coin a day on 170 MH/s.  Now I am running 1700 MH/s and getting only .12 per day.  For the first year or so I was reinvesting the money in new hardware until I had 2000 MH/s.  Then I started to cash out and am now up a couple grand.  I haven't really kept track of the exact figures.  I have not purchased any new hardware in over a year and am very impressed at the reliability of the video cards.  I have one 6950 and 6 6770s and a 5750.  The only card I had fail was a 5830 which is bad, because that card was a real money maker.

Thanks Blockhead, how much longer do you think you can mine Bitcoins before it is unprofitable with GPUs?
Not sure if I should start on some BTC before switching to LTC.

Did some LTC mining tests over the weekend on Nvidia cards but have AMDs on the way. Electricity is pretty expensive in Australia, I will make a small amount of money on LTC so it is mostly for the giggles (and hopes LTC does 1/10th as good as BTC).

I can't guess the future, but where it is right now I am using 1200 watts non-stop and paying 7.5 cents a kWH.  This works out to U$D 2.25 a day.  The price is going for around 70 dollars a coin and I am getting .12 BTC per day at BTC guild.  So that is nearly 8 dollars a day on 2.25 in electricity.  I expect the difficulty to continue increasing and if the price stays where it is I will probably be throttling back when the summer heat hits in 2-3 months.

I might look into LTC, but it sounds like it needs even more electricity than BTC.  I think ASICs are the future, but we need more competition if bitcoin is going to stay widely dispersed.

paying 7.5 cents a kWH

And that is where I am done in...around 26 cents per kWH here and more rises expected. In all calculations with GPUs half the profit goes to pay the bill with either BTC or LTC.

That is at present prices though, if the coins keep going up (and down) and up in value the equation works out better.

Cheers for the info.

hello all- im so very excited about entry into community.  I've known about bitcoin for just under a year now.  When I first read about the bitcoin I was fascinated.  Finally, I knew I needed to get involved or otherwise stand on the sidelines.  I hope to bring some ideas to the community that will be value added.  Thank You & I look forward to participating as much as I can! -cromba

Hello everyone, my name is Bothi. I have recently moved, but once I get a new forge set up, I will be selling handmade custom knives for Bitcoins. I have traded various other good before, and will likely continue to do so through bitcointalk and the Bitcoin community in general.

At this rate it will in a month. WOW am I getting in too late i wonder?

[superdork]

I'm a newb, and I have a few annoying newb questions....



1- how the fuck do I get my computer to stop autocorrecting bitcoin to bit coin because it is pissing me off?

2- how do I start a thread?  **

**(nothing makes me feel like a new member of an online community like having a bunch of people tell me to use the search function while they call me mean names and I find myself craving that sense of belonging here)

[UKCashout]

Hi everyone. I'm Anthony from UKCashout.

Although our site is not up and running yet we aim to do so within the week. The service we provide is simple...you tell us how many BTC or how much in pounds sterling you would like to cash out from MT Gox, you send us the redeem code of either BTC or £ and we send you the money to your Paypal account (minus a 5% flat-rate fee) as soon as the funds have cleared at our end. We aim to do this within the hour. Although, it may take up to 24 hours for you to receive your funds.

I have started this site as I feel there isn't much out there for cashing out BTC to sterling and it could take up to two weeks to get your money from MT Gox.

If you have any queries or questions then do not hesitate to PM me or e-mail me at anthony@ukcashout.co.uk and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Hope to do business with some of you very soon.

Anthony
