Topic: hi, new here, miner hardware needed (Read 1336 times)
ASIC Board!
I have one gigabyte 7970, its working 95% 
When try start computer there coming some blue lines to screen so i dont know what is problem. Sometimes go to windows and sometimes not.
When try start computer there coming some blue lines to screen so i dont know what is problem. Sometimes go to windows and sometimes not.You mean after you start the mining program then it has blue lines?
Bitmit.net ... saw 50 of them sell the other day for $250 ($5 each if my maths are not failing me...), also have seen several on auction at sub 0.1 BTC prices as well.
$5 each is nice for a test, but I suggest buying only few because if you have over 10 your HUB might get problems how to run them all.
I suggest only getting 1 to play around. It won't ROI
I would like a few usb erupters just to see.
I see they are cheap, but only in the u.s?, I live in the uk and they don't seem to be that cheap here

I want some eruptors as a hobby, not to make lots of money.
I am intersted in it, just here in the uk they cost equivalent of $50??!?

What are the odds that he could solve a block with his USB miners? Thinking in terms of time, how long would it take to get a 25BTC block reward? (That's how that works, right? Newbie, here:-)
1 month, 1 year, 100 years, 1000, years?
As I understand it, it is a bit of luck too, right? A bit like gambling?

When I was mining on bitparking the 10TH/s pool took approx 24 hrs to find a block. Therefore I would guesstimate that one .333GH/s USB ASICminer would take an average of 84 years to find a block with solo mining but that is assuming no change in difficulty!
hey if you want hardware just make sure it arrives before the difficulty again rises and also it will be a retarget cheaper. The best way to mine now is cex. because the deploy the power right after the purchase. You can check my sig. Price is really good right now.

When you are in a pool it will allocate the easiest shares to the slowest miners. He doesn't have to solo mine. Meaning he will get payouts even if they are really really tiny.1 month, 1 year, 100 years, 1000, years?

Also, not everyone buys these little USB's for profit. I bought one for my younger cousin just to get him interested. Didn't care if it would ROI.
No, you might never accumulate minimum withdrawal BTC amount required by pools.

at $15 they will never make ROI.....
Please post a site that sells it cheaper. I don't know one. If you do, do us all a favor and post it so that we can all use it. Never said it would ROI, simply that it was decent price compared to alternatives, such as eBay.
It's funny that you say the price is "decent" because the buyer doesn't lose as much money as compared to alternatives. For a price to be "decent", I would expect the buyer to at least make a "decent" profit. I guess my standards are higher. I don't know why people insist on buying mining equipment that will never make a profit (unless, of course, they are doing it for fun or as a learning experience).

You'd want to pool it and get paid for your shares, or run it on an alt chain at much lower difficulty and buy back into BTC ... or likely both.... I'd personally recommend using multipool (us/eu servers available) for small hashers since the pool automatically helps you mine the most cost efficient coin of the day and all you have to do is decide to trade them or keep them and use them as you see fit. Mid-sized miners would do well on bitparking, p2pool or eligius in merge mined configurations to get a slight profits increase and then the large miners probably imho best suited for ghash.io and btcguild .... but that's just my opinion fwiw
but yes... like gambling but gambling in a way that is highly mathematically predictable.

You are new to bitcoin, so you don't know what you want. Do not get into mining, the greedy guys with their ASICs destroyed it. There is no reason to mine, as you won't mine anything anyway.
Thanks for the good source! Might pick one up as a gift.
Also, didn't know about bitmit, thanks!
