UK miners

[hotwired007]

hi guys,

i've noticed a lack of dedicated UK mining information - and after speaking to a few people online ive started up a small forum - www.ukminers.co.uk - its not intended to replace bitcointalk - i like it too much but to make it easier for us UK miners to find information relavant to us.

it gets irritating on the sales forum when trying to buy stuff in the UK (especially when its a bargain and then realise its in the states or somewhere else and it suddenly becomes expensive due to shipping and import fees!)

I'm also looking for help managing the forum so if anyone (uk based) wants to help please PM me

i'm inexperienced when it comes to managing forums so please post any constructive criticisms!

Awesome

Can I promote my pool that is nearing the end of testing and debugging phase...

http://fuzzypool.mine.bz/

p2pool that has merge mining on it, so u earn 6-9% extra BTC from Namecoins, devcoins, ixcoins, i0coins.  0% BTC fee (sorry ignore the fee stated on the site atm... correct one in the FAQ section)
over 160GH locally and lot more coming soon!!

I am located in the UK and mine on the pool with other UK miners.  Server is currently located in Amsterdam but looking at moving this to the UK should enough interest arise from UK miners on the pool.

Any questions please PM me

Nice work on the forum as well

Welcome to UK Miners - i've replied to your post with a couple of questions - it might be an idea to add it to the pools list

[hotwired007]

I'm still looking for UK miners to join the forum - need some helping keeping it updated though - recent events for me have changed my priorities and BTC/mining has taken off again

[miners78]

This is good. A lot of sites I try to use don't cater to UK users. Definitely a step in the right direction .

[vegetao65]

I am a UK miner and will sign up for your forum. Happy to help as well.

There are a few of my buddies that are mining for LTC and Zeta as well. Will let them know about the forum

[bitcoin_UK]

Hi mate, great idea with the forum. If you need any help in any way just let me know. Love to see UK bitcoiners sticking together.I've been mining for almost 3 years so looking forward to seeing the forum grow as more users hear about it and get involved.

Good work!

Bitcoin will take over GBP one day! I know what I'd rather be paid in!

[hotwired007]

i asked my boss to pay me one months salary in BTC early in the year... if he had i'd be retired now...

I need some help basically keeping it active and getting more users - some of the info is a bit old and needs sorting i started mining in 2011 - shame i didnt keep all the coins i mined instead of using them

[bitcoinminer11794591]

i actually looked into something similar and you actually did it - respect! I'm happy to help in any way i can... i'll head over now and sign up.

In the mean time are there any specific things you need help with?

News and getting some interesting conversation going

I have a couple of projects on the go, i'm going to upload a few pictures of my rigs on t/here tonight too - i have just found/realised that i had 2 5 card motherboards just doing nothing and a few GPUs doing nothing so i now have the capacity for 14 GPUs without actually buying any more hardware (apart from GPUs) - am planning on getting a few 7950s or 7850s depending on what i can find cheap enough

Tbh the best you can do if you have unused spare cards from the 6x gen upwards is selling them in ebay. SHA-coins are dominated by ASICs, Litecoin is not profitable currently and soon there'll be FPGAs/ASICs for scrypt coins.

Unless you have use for them in key cracking, scientific computing, etc.

Atm i'm running my mining rigs at a good profit on a few multi-scrypt groups - its working quite well lol

We are close to the ASIC era though. Thankfully these cards will still hold some resale value for 1-2 years more.

Excellent idea from Sunny Wales !!!

Will join up now...

Can anyone recommend a decent priced Motherboard to support x5 GPU's ??

I want to put x2 direct on x16-x16 risers and x3 on x1-x16 cut powered risers with two PSU's.

Thanks

I've only ever seen a mother board which can hold 4 Graphics Cards. Try looking at Scan or Ebuyer.

I have a few usb asics mining in uk ,nice to see something UK based since everything seems dominated by usa.

I wanted to start a business that accepts bitcoin but all the payment processors are eur or usd not one gbp based tool .

None of my customers would want the hassle of doing sepa or international currency to get some work done  to their properties .

[timmmers]

Signed up.
A section for links to places that take BTC might be a good idea...then people can add them when they find them? Links in general really..UK biased ones.
