First off im very new to bitcoin. I startet off in mid 2012, but dropped out after a week or so (unfortuantly) and came back about 2 weeks ago when I saw the price went through the roof. Sadly I only mined 0.055BTC. So im still "new"
1). Im using GUIminer with deepbit simply because its easy to use. When running the Miner I can see it running at X MH/S, but quite ofent it says "worker is not connected" in deepbit even though the site can track im doing X MH/s. Is this something to be worried about and am I actually mining or is my GPU just running 100% for nothing? Ill have to add that SOMETIMES it says "worker mining" but for the majority it does not. Is deepbit cheating me?
2. Because of 1. I tried to use CGminer. So I downloaded it and created a batfile with command "cgminer.exe -o
http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u xxxx p- xxxx
Now the program is loading up and I can use the "settings" and such but it is not mining. I have tried to look on youtube guides etc, but apparently it should be working after just that.
3. Is it worth buying a ASIC like the 5GH/S for 274$? Im looking at 382$ with shipping to europe. Im thinking like GPU mining is now outdated, will these ASIC's be obsolete before they can pay for themselves? Whats your thoughts.
Regards. Chilly
