Greetings from Denmark

Just writing to remind you about litebit.eu.
FIAT directly to Digibyte, by many payment methods.
It has been a great way for me to supplement my mining income.

Wow. Over 2 1/2 hours without a groestl block being found!

Something has got to be done about Boost Pool.

Yes, in deed. Im just on there with one card to compare everything! Power, Payout, Costs, etc.. I know its not good to be on this pool but i will see the results with my own eyes!

Hey bogglor, how are XFX cards? They are sold super cheap around here but I've read various users not so happy about them. I'm thinking about getting one.

I like them, they run quiet. I have my rig set up in my basement and I was worried it would be loud, but surprisingly it wasn't any louder than sitting next to a desktop computer.

I bought a kill-a-watt to check my wattage, and doing scrypt mining with the two cards as overclocked as I could get them (and still be stable), my rig was running at 390 watts.

When I bought my ASICs, I left the two video cards plugged in, but idle, and my rig ran at around 85-90 watts, so that's around 150 watts each when fully hashing. My electric bill was $20-30 more than normal each month.

At the time, I paid $119 each for the 7850s (actually, one had a rebate of $30 so really it was 89 and 119), I think it was a great investment especially because the 7950s were $400 and I didn't want to spend that much. Built my whole rig for under $600.



EDIT: as a side note, I got my kill-a-watt because of mining,  and I'm *SO* glad I did, because it's such a cool 'toy'.  I hooked it up to everything in my house to see how much electricity stuff uses. I had an old VHS/DVD player hooked up to my TV that was using about 10w just being idle - I unhooked that because I rarely used it. And also the CD player component hooked up to my stereo system used like 5-6 watts in it's standby state. I removed that too. It's amazing to see how many things you can just unplug and how much wattage you can save.

Last 24 Hour DGB Groestl Extrapolated Network Stats

~709,368 by everyone else

Average Network Hashrate: 16.317 GH/s

Take note miners who are on BoostPool, your collective payout should be 0.79433904, but I’ll bet it’s only 0,436886472.

Are you having fun bending over and being tooled?

I got these ones with other better cooling system. They are cheap i guess. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-7950-PCIE-3-0-Video-Card-W-BOOST-Dual-X-/331324461986?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item4d247a13a2

Yes, true. What the fuck they doing? DEV just has to contact them in order to keep it up or remove this exchange.
Thats not stabel at all. Not good for DGB!

[bogglor]

Looks like multipool.us has their DGB pool up and running again.

DOGE is merged with all scrypt mining there, so mine DGB-Scrypt and get free DOGE!

You know, we've got a few fronts opened on this thread, some of which are not the most positive (and I take my fair share of responsibility for that), and others, that are a bit more positive and a lot more fun, like this mining rig "front", or 'sub-thread' within the thread, that has me thinking again about yet another that we've mentioned a couple of times about concentrating efforts on bringing new "early adopters" on board. I'm thinking that we could do a lot to help newly interested, ordinary people get involved in mining for the first time by helping them out with rig design. Sound like fun?

I'm thinking along these lines:

Most ordinary people want a computer:

1) they can do other practical things with, i.e., e-mail, scheduling, photo/movie editing, etc.
2) they can also have fun with, i.e., play a game, watch a movie, do video conferencing, etc.
3) that looks like a normal computer
4) for the best value for the money available

That kind of limits the 'high end' design to a two card system, but that would still be a killer way to get started and start acquiring all the necessary skills to advance to more complicated rigs if so desired.

How about we design a couple of options for folks who want all the above options (not all at once, of course ) while mining DGB at the same time?



. . . and keep posting your stats . . . maybe we can get a mining baseline put together . . .

Over time I think a ~28.64 to 1 network hashrate to diff ratio has shown itself to be very reliable, for ALL algos. ( diff * 28.64 = network hashrate).

 

[24hralttrade]

HR thank you for the information!

In this moment i only buy DGB, it´s so cheap right now!
In about 2 months i think Digibyte will rise and then i´m buying mining equipment!
In mean time i will educate myself more about mining.

Now i´m on a 3 days vacation and only want to drop this about the contact with mprep.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=787267.0

Back in a few days!

Good work all!

So here we go... Just a miner to put on another location where electricity is cheap.
Use it as for Fileserver etc....

Hi people!

We have  scrypt' chain issues currently? I didn't receive block from hours in hours :s ...


I checked some P2Pool Scrypt , and all say no miners in pool :

Could be a P2Pool network issue?

Thanks in advance !

Pretty nice configuration for a real nice miner that could also serve as a file server. I'm wondering about the choice of cards though. From an AC consumption point of view, the GTX 750 ti's are certainly hard to beat: you wouldn't have the upfront extra cooler system costs, a smaller PSU would work, and your electicity costs would be about 1/3 the 7950 (and, they'd be new with a warranty). This is probably the toughest trade-off for me. nVidia has also just released the more powerful GTX 970 and GTX 980 that have the same hashrate to AC consumption ratio as the 750 ti, but a much higher price to begin with. http://cryptomining-blog.com/3503-crypto-mining-performance-of-the-new-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980/

Something else that I'm wondering about is which card would be best for gaming (for the person who just wants a powerful, 2 card PC with a normal case). Would the GTX 750 ti get the job done for all but the most demanding and expert gamers? I think it would be more than enough for all the other tasks mentioned in the initial list, wouldn't it? But, from an advanced gamer's point of view, maybe not.

[HR]

Nice fill on that 15 million DGB bid at 22 satoshi!

Sellers got a little aggressive and sold into the last 5 million pretty hard.

Maybe we'd all be better off to completely shut down our rigs, let the price go to 5, and then let scrxxx do the dirty work for us while we pay him peanuts and his stooges become GRS bag holders.


Add: after looking a little more closely at the "tape", it looks like a 5 million sell order took out the last 2 million of that bid and the 3 million waiting below at 21. Looks like maybe scrxxx was a little late to the game.  

Between Cryptsy and MintPal, there are now just over 6 million bid at 20 . . .

Yes you are totaly rigth, AMD is bad. Sorry my failure. Go with two GTX 750 and you can use them with SLI for gaming.
