What's your Mhash/s? (Pissing contest here)

[VERUMinNUMERIS]

"That's impossible.  What you're getting is probably 1600 kilo hash which is only 1.6 mega hashes which is nothing. 

I'm shocked at how 90% of the people here can't tell the difference.  1,000 kilo hashes is just 1 mega hash.  The best ATI card at frys, the 7970 (they don't yet carry the 7990) only does 600-700 kilo hashes.  And when you run these cards together you lose efficiencies. 

Most people here are reprinting 1,000 fold higher hash rates with inferior,lesser cards than the ATI 7970.  What you guys are getting is kilo hash rates, which are 1,000 times less than mega hash rates so just divide what you think you're getting by 1,000 and that's your real hash rates.

Basically all the guys here saying they're getting 300m/hash are getting 300 kilo hash, which is like a new ATI 7850 video card which is a great card.  You double that down in a new $1700 rig and you lose efficiency and you'll get at most 500 kilo hash with a dual ATI card and a high end CPU and MB.  That's the rig I had and I took it back cause it was worthless. 

The days when you could mine bitcoin or even much lower difficulty coins like litecoin with a desktop are over.  You now need giga hash rates to get anything. 

If anyone has any cheaper and easier solutions please share.  I'm new to this and I've yet to be able to mine 1 full coin.  Thanks in advance."

I recently built a mega computer from Fries. I spent like 2000 dollars and got a great motherboard, a hexacore AMD cpu, 10 gigs of ram, the works, this thing was blazing fast I mean. I took the liberty to throw in 3 graphics cards running the 7669 chipset. Well guess what, I was getting like sub 500 KH/s KILO HASHES, which got me like .2 BITcoins after about 24 hours of running it with the cpu and gpu screaming at overheating speeds, by the way, at current prices I just about broke even on the electricity spent...
As far as BITcoin goes what I would suggest at this point in time, as the difficulty has increased quite a bit over the last six months, I would recommend cloudmining. find a good site that sells time blocks for a yearly service fee and start mining away!

I'm running a HD Radeon 6770 at ~130Mhash/s and a laptop at ~1.5Mhash/s

Using pooled mining because fuck competition.

I think Poolmining is the way to go, or even cloudmining. Have you heard about it?

Nothing now thanks to @#%$@%$ ATI's @#%@@%##@ POS drivers screwing up everything.  Miner doesn't even work now when I try to rollback the driver version to the one I had that used to work. $#@@#$%$$%%&#ETW#^%Q@$#Q

[VERUMinNUMERIS]

so I take it you're mining for Bitcoins? How many would you say you get per day? and whats your electrical consumption rates like, assuming you don't get free electricity somehow : )

That's impossible.  What you're getting is probably 1600 kilo hash which is only 1.6 mega hashes which is nothing. 

I'm shocked at how 90% of the people here can't tell the difference.  1,000 kilo hashes is just 1 mega hash.  The best ATI card at frys, the 7970 (they don't yet carry the 7990) only does 600-700 kilo hashes.  And when you run these cards together you lose efficiencies. 

The 7970 does 600 to 700 megahashes/sec for BTC mining. For LTC mining you will get roughly 600 to 700 kilohashes however.

You can refer to this chart for more details:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#AMD_.28ATI.29




So then 3 7970 cards wold generate 2.8 Gigahashes/sec for BTC mining? Whats that in actual mined coins? like a BTC a day? Cause that would be definetlly worth the expense of 500$ plus a card.

Have you heard of the new Intel technology coming out, the PHI it's called I believe, I hear its supposed to be an insanely fast GPU, something straight out of Star Trek's Data's own positronic brain !!! its gonna clock in at ONE TERAFLOP!!! but is that floating point or linear mathematics... Well have to wait and see but the problem is that as soon as a fast card comes out, BTC difficulty adds a few more zeroes. Way can this be easy, like in 2011 lol.

Did you try cold-booting (Power completely off then back on)? My 5870 was locking up and bluescreening every hour for about a day. It turns out that a windows update had rebooted the computer. I now make sure that I cold boot every time I do a reboot.

My 5870 is getting 367mhash. I know it's low, but I don't feel like doing the fiddling to bring it up to 400mh/s.

HAHA, you tell him Vlad! Is that like VLAD THE IMPALER?! Just kidding man, I'm on your side lol. Who knows, maybe the guy has a few blocks of servers in his water cooled basement.

Maybe he figured out something we didn't. I am sure there is always a way around a problem that inquiring minds can figure out with a little bit of tweaking. What I really hate though is when Vircurex goes offline for 24 hours without calling and telling me first

0 MH/s i hope my AVALON chips will be delivered in time, then i have 282.000 MH/s  

Avalon!  Who makes those?

From everything I've read over the last 30 days the best GPU are from ATI, for mining of course.

Now of you can get ASIC chips and make them work that she best there is for mining applications but only if you have a team of hardware and software engineers can you accomplish that.  I wish I was programmer cause I'd go crazy right now.  This is the gold rush of the 1700's and just like then people are blind or need proof.  By the time proof comes the 3rd and 4th bitcoin booms will come and go and then it will be infinitely hard to mine a single coin.  I had to buy my coins cause I couldn't find a good enough rig that works. Sad, cause I put $1700 just in that one computer and for litecoins which are easier to mine it wasn't good enough and for bitcoins it would have been even worse.

On a funny note, we should start a thread on how long it takes the govt to charge a license fee to mine for coins?  lol, those rats in suits won't stop at anything when it comes to tax us all every chance they get.  I give them 6-12 months and then you'll have to pay a licensng fee and maybe taxes on any and all coins you find.  Unlike real money or good you can hide in your pocket with digital coins you can't hide it anywhere. 

And the latter is the biggest reason the govt is 100% backing digital cash, bank on it.  This is a big reason digital money will make it big and for a short while all coins will go up greatly in value.  The smart thing is knowing when that happens when to get out, cause eventually the govt will choose one and make the rest illegal as a matter of national security and in the name of undisrupted and a uniform and streamlined market.

Good luck to everyone!
