Newbie to bitcointalk.org

[caminilegroup]

Newbie to bitcoin talk. Been mining for a few months. Started with USB block erupters then upgraded to asicminer blades v2. Currently have two blades and planning on getting two more next month.

Currently on multipool using slush's mining proxy. Right now I am mining Zetacoin, but alternate to slush's for bitcoins.

I have tried btcguild, bitminter, and slush's pool. I like slush's pool as I get a bigger payout, the wait kills me though.

My mining rig:

Nice first setup, Are these the 10G/Hs version?

[J3tt]

Cool! How much did you pay for the rig?

Also, I currently use BTCGuild. Any specific reasons you don't use/like it?

[BitcoinBarrel]

Nice setup where did you order the base and PSU?

Welcome Aboard!

Also curious about where you got the power supply.  There is a seller on eBay in the USA who sells them just under $50 each.  Ordered a pair for myself.  Good 12v power supplies have many uses.

Looks like you're off to a good start!

10/GHs, power supply off ebay for $30. Got the back plane off ebay for $156. Total invested in this setup is $636.

When I first started I started with bitminter with the usb erupters. I moved around to see which pool I would like, and settled with bitminter for the erupters. When I got the blades in I did a 24 hr run on slush, bitminter, and btc guild. Slush was best overall for payout, but waiting for blocks confirmed was killing me. Bitminter seemed to payout more than btc guild.

Right now I'm on multipool racking in Zetacoins getting about $6 a day. Once I get two more blades I'm going to leave one on Zetacoin and put the others on slush.

Also, I know my setup isn't ideal for looks and cooling, but it works. I've contacted spotswood about his cases and I am like a kid in a candy store hoping to get one.

Nice making much yet?

In the three weeks so far, coinbase shows me at $30. I would imagine my total down time has been about 24hrs due to technical issues on my end.

With the btc jumping up today, I exchanged my zetacoins to btc for about $6. That was the past 24 hrs.

[Bitarchist]

Hey that looks great! I'm in the process of building one of these myself.

Im curious to know which PSU that is and where you got it from. Also, will it power 10 blades?

Are there any other online resources you found helpful that you could point me to? I'm doing this for the first time. =)

Not bad! you should invest in btc now.

BTC drop almost $200 in the past few days. Kinda sad about that.
