Great rig sir. So you use a different card for your own pc usage? That'd be really great at pwede isagad ang power. I do have a 5970 and looking for some more cheaper. Ano po PSU mo 1000w? I was wondering how much talaga ang kaya ng 700w True rated PSU.

I have an HD5850 laying in a drawer in Baguio city if someone is interested.

balanghai: The 7750 consumes only 55w, but I can still hash with it while working, or hash at 1/3 speed when watching movies (need to stop its reaper daemon and start one with lower intensity, then drop core clock by 80mhz though).  On hindsight, I probably shouldn't have bought the 5970 because of the heat it produces.  So from now on, 7950's only.

I am using FSP Raider 750w 80Plus Silver on both comps.  I've read that it's safe to load up to 10% less than your PSU's capacity, and also that if you want your PSU to last 7-10 years, get Gold at least.  I think it's still a big price gap between Silver and Gold, and the fan will probably be a problem before 7 years even for Gold PSUs.

What's your mobo sir? I was thinking on making a bigger rig and thought that 5970 is a great buy. So I guess 6950 also is not a good buy?

I don't mind the heat but not quite sure if 7950 is worth more for every buck?

My active MB is a Gigabyte 970A-DS3, my mining MB is an Asrock 970 Extreme 4.

5970 - upto 750kh/s - 294w - 2.55kh/s/w - bought at P9,000
7950 - upto 620kh/s - 200w - 3.10kh/s/w - bought at P8,500
6950 - maybe 445kh/w - 200w - 2.23kh/s/w - around P6,000, but someone selling at TPC for 5k right now, so hurry! :-)

7950 hashes higher per watt, and I was able to buy it cheaper too.

You'll have to do your own power expense computations though.  I use P12.30/kwh, but your rate may be different.

@BTCscraper, for all of that scrypt alt-mining, how much are you getting in BTC? If you don't mind.

Same question here? Just a little curious Sir...

Yesterday I got .04657339, excluding 5 hours sent to multipool instead (kasi ang taas ng reject rate ni middlecoin at that time).  A little above break even, although I had to manually sell the multipool proceeds at cryptsy.  Middlecoin's op has reported that yesterday's payout rate was .0342 BTC/mh/s, so it's like I had only 1.36mh/s instead of the actual 1.894mh/s.  The highest hashrate I've seen shown for my address is around 2.03mh/s.

In comparison, I would probably have earned .02756214 if I mined at 50btc yesterday.

Edited: wrong math. I only have 1.894mh/s, not 2.1+.  Still, middlecoin reports high or low at times, depending on which coin is being mined.

Hello awesome people. Just wanted to inform you all that I am working on an SMS service for you to get the latest prices for Bitcoin, Bitcoin stock markets, Balances for Bitcoin address and much more. I am working on this service these days. and this service would be FREE of charge  . Just stay tuned and pm me your opinions on how to interact with this service. Currently it is expected to work just fine with all networks.

BTW on a different notice I just wanted to express my frustration with BDO employees. Please don't take it against me if I strangled one of them one day....... 


Well.... the typhoon has passed. Have a nice day all.

I really don't know but I doubt I am leaving until next year and generally I am living in Baguio without any intention of going back to my home country. I want to open a bank account with HSBC to trade with people and on markets but my ACR is still getting processed and yet to reach Baguio.

I suggest you also open accounts with BDO and BPI. BDO = Banco de Oro, owned by SM / Sy family. BPI = Bank of the Philippine Islands, owned by the Ayalas.

Both have online banking, and have presence in many areas; many branches. BDO has a branch in every SM mall, including SM Baguio. BPI is also all over the place. BPI also allows mobile online banking and sending pesos to any other BPI account without enrollment.

You can remain in Baguio to do "trusted" trades, such as me simply depositing cash into your accounts, or doing electronic fund transfers. You'll only go down if you need to do a face to face meet up. BPI particularly allows anyone to do cash deposits to any BPI account nationwide. Most other banks have regional or rural divisions and charge fees.

Checks from the same bank clear instantly, also called "on us", so you can verify with online banking. Checks from different banks deposited to your account take about 3 days to clear.

HSBC is getting smaller and small branches are closing, probably due to some credit card promotions they marketed the wrong way (and got abused until they lost a lot of money.)

You can survive with 20 bitcoins a month here. That's like an average fast food manager's monthly income here.

Just noticed this , Very thankful for your tips Dabs. The whole idea about HSBC is because BDO don't use IBANs and all exchange platforms are using IBANs along with swift. Do you disagree? Besides because my stay is a "tourist" stay they are giving me weird looks and denies me a bank account .

Oh, I didn't know about that, but you can do wire transfers from BDO to others. I don't know about exchanges back to BDO. You might have to ask about opening a USD denominated account for that.

Personally, if you are just selling bitcoins locally (here in the Philippines), I can go buy from you once I have cash. There are HSBC branches where I am. BDO and BPI just have a lot more of them all over the place.
