Creating My Own Mining Pool

[Wardrick]

I need some tips about some stuff. If anyone could answer these questions I'd really appreciate it.

1) How many computers would I need to successfully start a mining pool (like the minimal amount to still get good profits)

2) A decent rig to start mining with (Brand of CP, graphics cards, etc)


I'll soon have enough money to get this started and I'm looking to see if I can start my own pool instead of joining a pool.

The general rule of thumb when it comes to starting your own pool: If you have to ask the question, you shouldn't do it.

Yeah but everyone needs to start somewhere. I'm just looking to mine with multiple computers instead of one.

And unless you are meaning 1000's when you say multiple you are best off joining a pool. And even then you probably need to hurry. Not that it can't be done or that you can't find a block yourself, but it's very unlikely.

Most pools will allow you to create multiple workers, so you can connect many computers to your account, and they all earn you BTC.

Here is a short Q&A for creating your own pool. Bandwidth will be a concern as well as security.

I agree, sounds like you haven't even mine, you know gpus are done mining you need ASIC miners to keep up.

This is what it sounds like to me. I know many people that already unplugged from gpu.

If you are coming into a large sum of money then ASIC is the way to go unless this is just a hobby then you have nothing to worry about.

Try to manage and to plan it as much as possible.

That's said correctly.
OP, if you're really not sure about this, then don't start it. I assure you'll end up loosing a significant amount with it.

However, if you really want to start with this, I'd suggest you to first start finding a "good" server or multiple servers with high bandwidth near your area.

Fairly certain that 3 years later, he's sure about what he did.
