If you are still thinking of getting one, I believe CGminer is suppose to be a good program. There was a discussion on this the other day in the mining section. You may want to go and look at that. (I know you can't post, but all the answers will be there).

But if you really do buy a Jala. Buy a raspberry pi and run MinePeon on it. Running with your laptop will draw quite and amount of power.

By the time you get your jala, the difficulty will be x10 x20 or x80. Hard to estimate, but you will not make much money on it.


Sorry, you missed the boat.

My advice.
Look out for new offers, be first to order.
Watch out for scams.

In the meantime, buy btc if you want to be involved.

How much will 5GH/s get me? I was expecting around $700 per month.

By the time you receive it? Maybe 30 bucks a month.

Alright, thanks guys.

How much will 5GH/s get me? I was expecting around $700 per month.

So when will the Jalapeno be released to the public? Is there anything else under $650? Where would the best place to order it be?

Also, I have devised a get-rich-quick scheme (nobody ever got rich quick without one!). I am going to buy a new ASIC machine EVERY single time I get enough money. When BitCoins get too hard for the average Joe, I want to have a section of my house filled with ASIC machines.

Also, did I have everything about right with how I'll do this? Nothing there is too hard right? And any recommended programs?

Unfortunately I have heard and seen the math that says a 20% difficulty increase every month for the next few will happen. About the point where you break even is when you will be getting the same amount of btc as with a modern GPU. Best to buy btc and trade/ hold or buy a gpu it will have resale value and it can game!

I would only order a Jalapeno if you want to contribute to the bitcoin network. (which is totally cool btw)

 Besides that, it is not a good investment compared to simply owning bitcoin.  By the end of this summer, the difficulty will be so high that 5 GH/s will give you very little.  Additionally, if you order now, you shouldn't expect to see your miner until almost 2014.

First of all.
Hello everyone! I just joined!

So I'm completely new to BitCoins, but I've made up my mind to get money from them. I'm wondering exactly what I'll have to do. So I have a few questions...

1.) What is the best mining program? (ASIC compatible?)
2.) What is the best free guild?
3.) My computer is a steaming pile of you-know-what, that won't affect my ASIC will it?
4.) How hard is setting it up?
5.) Should I get a 'secure' BTC wallet?
6.) Did I miss anything?  Smiley

Okay so if you answered any of those, thanks a lot!

Now here is a scenario... Just tell me everything I got wrong, if it's not too much trouble. And if something will be really hard. (I'm what I'd call tech-savy, but not a genius)

I make an MtGox account and link it to my bank for selling.
I make a BitCoin wallet. (secure?)
I download the GPU miner of my choice.
I get the Jalapeno.
I install the software, plug it into the wall and my computer.
Somehow link it to my BitCoin wallet and GPU miner? (hard?)

That about right?
Thanks so much everyone! Now I can finally go to sleep.

I doubt that the Jalapeno will even arrive...
And it will take waay longer than you expect for you to breakeven.

My advice is not to do that, and instead buy bitcoins with the money
and trade stuff.


They will probably deliver but ~5 Gh/wont be of much a short while after they are released. They are good right now though
