Pictures of your mining rigs!

Just wondering, is your mining wallet on the SD card of the Pi?

Nope! Hint: This is my site: http://bitcoinpaperwallet.com

good, this is interesting

I'm giddy as a schoolboy. Just got all my USB Block Erupters set up and hashing. Just had to share this here.

what GPU you use with this USB Block Erupters. And where can make order for USB Block Erupters ?

I'm so jealous of you all, I have never really mined, but I wanted to get into it recently (not to profit big time, because I know that's not really possible anymore) But, just to say I was a Bitcoin miner. Everything is soo expensive now, I normally get outbid and just simply can't afford anything at the prices right now.

This is my first "milk crate" rig, tell me if I screwed anything up. lol
Temps are a bit high for my liking, but I have some high CFM 120mm fans on the way that I'm going to mount to the top of the cards for airflow, this should help alot.


That last one is the APU if anyone was wondering.

5.5 GH/s, 36 Watts total. That's my "rig"!

All you need now is a small solar panel and battery set-up and you can be mining bitcoins for no operational costs.

I wonder how long this could run off of just a 12v car battery. Or a bank of LiPos.

For fun:
Let's take a group 27 deep-cycle battery from my store ($117.95 + $5.00 core charge).
It's rated at 96 amp-hours, multiply that by its nominal voltage of 12 volts and you get 1152 watt-hours.
Divide by 36 watts (we'll assume that the DC-DC supply you'd use in place of the AC-DC supply will also pull 36 watts from the battery) and you get 32 hours of run time (approximately).

You'd want to use a deep-cycle battery, not an actual car (cranking) battery.  The car battery wouldn't last very many cycles in this application.
And LiPos are just too expensive for something like this, several times what a wet lead-acid would be.

I have an even more fun idea.

Since this is so light and efficient It could be put on a (relatively) cheap weather balloon. Give it a cellular modem like a tethered android phone and you have the first bitcoin miner at the edge of space. Mind you it might need a stronger radio. lol

At least, it would run way cooler!!! :p

The best passive cooling strategy  free of charge.BTCMining location will be more and more important in the future.

reminds me of this: (look at date of post)

I used this strategy more for noise-reduction than cooling, although the cooling part worked really well, too.

how do you keep the moisture out? How does it not suck snow into the case? I would love to see a picture of one of these open.

Moisture is not an issue since the inside of the case is much warmer than the surroundings.

Only issue might've been little droplets of water getting in. Avoided that like this: I'm sucking in air at the bottom of the case over a large area and protecting the rectangular inlet with 3 layers of fly screen about 1 cm apart.

It's been operating for close to 1 year like that with no issues. Only stuff that got in was some pollen. It was much much cleaner than a machine that operates indoors would be after 1 year.

I'm sorry I don't have shots of the construction. It's been decommissioned in late 2011.

And an Awesome, Über powerfull mining ring ...
with the initial Jalapeno Specs (almost) ...
4.5W, two usb for power ...



And last time i use it for mining i got an powerfull 15MH/s ... :p
I didn't use it for mining of course

Now that is nice!

I started out with this after I placed my BFL order.

I should have bought a laser cutter instead of a 3D printer.
