So i was thinking of buying a small mining rig. About 500Mh/s maybe. Or something like that. But i want a new one. Like if anyone wanted to make a new one and ship it for a reward. I am actually in Greece but i could also take it from Germany too.
I want it for mining and using it for cracking passwords.
I am a noob with bitcoin actually so i am just seeing what the prices are right now. Dont know many things about cards etc...

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

~500 MH is just one good card. Why build an entire rig for that? Assuming you have adequate power supply, just plug a 5970 or something in your existing PC. Or if you insist on new, a 6970 or 7970. No need to pay anyone to do that and ship it. I dont know what electricity prices are like in Greece, but if they are anything like most of Europe, you may want to look into FPGA mining instead. Have a look here: http://www.butterflylabs.com/They have yet to ship a board, but they are supposedly about to. Keep an eye on it. |

Ok as i said i am quite noob but yes yesterday i was reading quite much and i noticed that with 1 card you can do that.
But wow, 600 dollars for 800+ Mh/s and only 80W? Isnt this too good to be true?

There are endless discussions about that, so I wont get in to it. If you feel uncomfortable, wait and see. |

Have a look here: http://www.butterflylabs.com/They have yet to ship a board, but they are supposedly about to. Keep an eye on it. Don't risk your money on BFL until they actually ship working stuff. Rather buy a real product, like the FPGA board from ztex.de http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/usb-fpga-1.15x.e.html215 MHz for about 12 Watts per module (take 2) + a host computer (can be a 10 watt Alix board) and you are set, low power consumption. Should cost you about EUR 700 for 430 MHz @ 35 Watts. Unless you have free power, in that case get a few 5970 cards |

I can build you a new machine at a moderate price shipped. I have to say though; I want it for mining and using it for cracking passwords.
It sounds to me as if you have never done either one, and this is a rather low end machine for both. Don't get yourself in trouble doing the latter |

Don't get yourself in trouble doing the latter likuidxd hi, I would like to start mining later this year, maybe in April or May all being well & would be interested in a new built machine at a moderate price shipped with some tech support to get it connected up & running, I'm in Spain & have a lot of experience in the best ways to ship to here from most countries in the world - where would you ship from - (East coast USA?) Also would you advise waiting for any particular future developments that may be coming out later this year? I'd be most interested to hear your recommendations & approx quotes plus any advise you may have, posting publicly in case anyone else has any suggestions, many thanks  |
