How long have you been mining & what is your current hash rate? (+ bonus Q's)

[awgilyas]

March 2013 with a GPU  500Mh/s

Current hash rate? 0GH/s lol. Sold of my Jally and LS.

880Kh/s on Scrypt.


1. 4 Units of Avalon Gen 2 miners from Technobit. 96Gh/s total. 
2. Was on slush's, d7 PPC pool and Coinex TGC pool. ca

[mgio]

My current hash rate is about 1.5 TH/s. I make about 1 BTC per day at current difficulty.

Here are my current miners:
1 Avalon batch 2 at 82 GH/s
2 Bitburner 8-board stacks at about 375GH/s each
2 BFL Jalapeños at 7 GH/s each
2 BFL Singles at 60 GH/s each
1 KNC Jupiter at 550  GH/s


I started mining early this year with a BFL FPGA I got from a friend. The Avalon was my first real miner which was purchased in June I think. I've mined about 140 coins so far. The BFL machines were ordered in Oct of 2012 but didn't arrive until this Sept!

I have a batch 1 Hashfast on order (with an upgrade kit) and an upgraded batch 2 (Nov batch) hashfast on order too. Finally I have a KNC Neptune on order.

I mine on Eligius presently but used to mine on Ozcoin.

Ordered a BFL LS back in June and eventually wrote it off as BTC related growing pains. But, it showed up ~3 weeks ago so I was pleasantly surprised and couldn't decide if I was just gonna sell it on ebay or mine. Ended up mining, joined Slush's pool and it's clocked up to ~33 Gh/s. Brings in about .025 daily. Of course, I had bought quite a bit of mining shares w folks on here and that's going pretty well. It is fun having the auto deposit every week despite knowing that had I kept all my coins I'd be better off in terms of overall coinage.

Decided to try 'cloud' mining I guess, been a week on CEX.io mining at roughly 10GH/s

[Ecurb123]

about 4 months, 1Gh/s. Mostly I mine alt-coins but sometimes I'll get some btc dust.

[xselam1988]

started on 10/2012 with 3x 7970. just use as heater, I have water cooling so its quiet. In several month I found that profitable. upgraded to 10+ 7970 and several 7870s.
Now I have 1.2THs in bitcoin and almost 20Mhs in litecoin.
Draws about 20Kw

Started in November with 4 usb 333 erupters, after a week bought two v2 blades, then bought two more in December.

~40 GH/s BTC Guild ~.03 /24hr

Is your 1.2TH/s just in video cards or is there an asic under the floorboards somewhere?

The largest GPU farm ever built would not be able to even approach 1.2TH/s (back when it was GPU and FPGA the network was only about 15TH/s).  Pretty sure all his cards are on Litecoin.  Bitcoin is left only to ASICs now.

That is what I thought, it just didn't seem correct so I had to ask.

Mining scrypt for 1+ years 80KH/s - 20KH/s 

SHA-256 mining for 6 months. At my peak was mining at 3.1 GH/s, with block erupters. Decided to ebay these block erupters as I bought them for $7 and sold them for $50. My plan was to reinvest and buy a blad or 2 with that profit only to watch the price of blade double as well. $500 for a blade....hmmm just cant do it.

[quone17]

I started mining like 6 months ago right before it got tough and it seems like everyone is catching on.  I did like 330 mh/s then I switched to doing some alt mining and then I have almost given up on it and just do it here and there for fun.

Bought 3 Block Erupters for a hobby when they were cheap($15USD). Been mining with 1Ghash for about 2/3mo, already made an ROI.

Bonus question 2:
Currently mining on slush,  planning on switching to BTCGuild.

there is no reason to switch to BTCGuild atm.

[thelectronicnub]

Better round times... If you know a better pool, let me know.

What do faster round times make them better? Just more consistent payments but overall its pretty much the same, on top the fees are higher on BTCguild then Slush's.
 

[dspiel]

mined years ago using cpu/gpu and recently got back into it.

Originally I used Red Fury's and then upgraded to some Block Erupter blades.


I am currently doing approx 21 gh/s.

I have 1 X-1 on order....not much ROI with nextgen ASIC equipment so not really investing any $$$ in mining at the moment.

1 Overclocked BFL LS ------ 36Ghs
1 Overclocked BFL Jally ---- 8.5 Ghs
12 USB Erupters ------------ 4 Ghs

Mining since late August, was hashing .25 a day then, .025 currently... My miners made less than 1% of my coins, but I love them!

[J_Dubbs]

I've got another 50gh/s on the way, combo of blades and a cube. Managed to find a pair of deals that didn't last long and jumped, bought a bit more than planned... I should be up to 110gh/s total by the weekend if everything ships fast. From there I will do my best to resist upgrading for a while.



EDIT: Correction... add another 2 blades to that. I'm up to 82gh/s with the two that arrived today, with a cube and two more blades on the way; should put me ~130gh/s in a few days. After the new orders arrive I plan on freezing for a bit and seeing how it goes, kinda been deal-hunting and adding hardware each week, need to back off and see how it goes for a while.

You can find deals on blades but it is tough, and the definition of a "deal" is defined relative to the inflated pricing on Ebay. 0.38BTC blades are available on a group buy right now, anything on Ebay with a "buy it now" under $400 sells very fast but it does happen if you watch it enough. Since the Cube is going for $1,100 anything over $400 per blade is hard to justify, but somehow demand is being met at higher prices.
