BTC.0177 for me today! Best payout yet! If only my stupid frigging 6770 had made it onto the delivery truck today! It missed going out today by about 2 hours. The huge payouts are helping the pain I'm experiencing because of the price drops. If we can keep this up I will be beyond happy. The payouts' potential is even huger if you're perhaps very optimistic and believing that the prices will rebound shortly (I mean like a few weeks or so) like I am
If Bitcoin was at $1000 right now, a lot of people here with insane hashrates would be getting even more ridiculous amounts of money.
Also, that stirs up a question I have. To someone that has insane to me hashrates north of ~5 Mh/s or so, how do you accomplish this? Is it sheer hardware volume like a basement full of 7950s, or are using some more, *ahem* sneaky methods? (botnets?...) If you had a basement full of 7950s, I'm pretty sure that would heat an entire room, but whatever. I noticed that the guy with the top hashrate made something like
BTC1.73 today. That's a lot.
Lastly, has anyone tried mining with a reference design 6770? I know this isn't the best place to ask but I don't think it's deserving of a thread. I haven't found much googling it but I'm wondering what kind of fan noise is required to keep it safe for temperature. I just want to be able to sleep in the same room as it and keep it under 80-85 degrees or so. I guess I have an MSI 7870 heatsink+fans I could try to mount on it if it's too hot, but I'd rather not unless heat/noise is a problem.
Thanks!
