[GPUC] GPU Coin | Mandatory Wallet Update

[phaddie]

Hey lets start a twitter blitz.  Use the hashtage #YeahGPUCoin.  Lets get some action going!!!  and feel free to follow me on twitter

@Phadcoin

We need community buzz to start building, if everyone is excited for the release of the online store it will increase demand for the coin!!

So this is the prototype a friend has made that holds 8 GPUs, which will work well with the 16x 8 way splitter that is currently under development.  This is NOT a final design and there are already a few things I want changed, but it's progress in the right direction.  Welded aluminum frame and we're shooting for a selling price of $100 worth of GPUC.

It looks good, only thing I would recommend is to make it not welded and to be assembled by the miner who purchases it.  To ship it assembled will cost muchos deneros.  Pre drilled holes for aluminum screws will work or even thumb screws with a bolt to assemble will cut shipping cost WAY down.

I agree 100%. way cheaper to ship it in flat pieces, 5 panels or whatever and some bolts. longer bolts could be useful for attaching when stacked. Looks rad man. I always thought hanging the cards like that made more sense.

SOLUTION TO ALL THE "IT'S A SCAM COIN, CEO TOOK OUR MONEY" TROLLS.

CEO, You just posted a picture of the rig frame,
so have someone take a picture of:
YOU in front of a STACK of Asus 280x's,
and post that here.  Will get rid of most of the
non-believers.

[tylerderden]

some kind of crossbar on the sides would give it more stability too for when you get 2-3 of them sacked up.

Oh, it's coming! The 280x's are on their way, just like pizzas and zombies and dragons.
And there won't be a STACK. It will be THREE STACKS! And they're gonna be HUGE! You won't believe it!

Since you have access to splitters..

I strongly suggested using Nvidia's 750 Ti.. better perf/power and cheaper too.

Just plugged in one of these myself.. it runs right off of PCIE power, no external connector needed @280mh/s scrypt .. amazing!  You can get 4x for price of R290.

ok so the twitter thing is working REALLY well

How do they perform on GPUcoin.

And from the FWIW front. Tom's report on LTC mining with the 270X isn't even close. They show 302 kh/s. Mine do 470kh/s and my friend's 270s will do 440kh/s. Why would they post such bogus numbers? Is it just to make the 750ti look better?

not cheaper at all.
to gain the same hash as you would with amd cards, you'd have to buy more ram, cpus, motherboards, and psus.
while it may save on power, the cost to buy and run all that extra hardware will skyrocket you bills, UNLESS, your only wanting a single small light mining rig.

N-scrypt or plain ol scrypt?

I'm getting 305kh/s reg. scrypt, and get about 145kh/s scrypt:N

So the easiest way to change what the coin is currently trading at is for the DEV to set the price of 1 GPU coin.....if 1 gets us a $435 Dollar Graphics Card than it will sell for $435 worth of BTC..possibly more...

Then the store would never have any inventory?  :p

nice! ive been wanting to build one exactly like this, just never knew where to start...

[goodluck0319]

I am thinking no one can buy the gpu except whaler or ipo. cause those guy/gals has a lot of gpuc. I don't think it is worthly mining right now if I want to get 270, I have to wait for at least 2 month in order to get one 270 (x) .

Well of course it wouldn't 1 GPUC per physical GPU but you get my point. These guys have the opportunity to make their store more successful than NewEgg or TigerDirect just by telling us what we can buy with their own coin. Regulation doesn't exist in this market so price fixing would benefit them and the community. We would mine to get more hardware and they would get more sales by us continuing to mine and trade...

Do you know what risers you will need for GPU in this setup, how long? I think more than 35cm.

Might just be me but how come all these frames never have a way to keep the wires organized? Could be a large sell point..for me an others like me who like there rigs to look more professional than a mad scientist's workshop

[samwise2010]

Has anyone installed vertminer on smos 1.3? I've installed it already from the tips on the smos website but have no idea what to do from here, do I cut and paste different text into the existing cgminer .conf file? Thanks!

although it looks nice, if it stays like that there will be major electrical problems (short circuits) as the motherboard is on an aluminium plate and might as well electrocute the user if it touches the frame also in aluminum when the power is turned on and the motherboard start to burn.
I think you have to make sure that the frame is grounded to avoid these sort of problem.
(you might want to check the regulation in north America before putting this on sale)
