Topic: How many newbies are mining? - page 6. (Read 24813 times)
just started with a pool mining
Mining scrypt on multipool. With a single 2MHs box atm.
Now mining Paccoin just over 30ghz.
Currently i'm out, because i need new Hardware for Mining.
I don't know what will be in the future....

first BTC ... than LTC ... and now .. DOGE/LKY/LOT and others

Well, I'm sort of mining. Luckily, my friend never really shuts off his comp, so I get to use his comp, electric bill free. Unfortunately, due to the lack of any kind of modification, it's abysmally slow. Try bitcoinplus.com . It's a browser-based mining site.
'Browser based mining', That's new for me. Will check it out.
I'm curious if the Alpha Technology scrypt asic rig is actually a real thing or just some scam to get peoples pre-order $
No idea about how serious or scammish it is, but there's something that must be kept in mind in the CPU/GPU/FPGA vs ASIC question:
Imagine a new altcoin coming up (think DOGE*), but with a slightly modified scrypt algo (think Jane...), or a new one (i.e. XPM, QRK...)
- CPU/GPU miners just need to update the mining software,
- FPGA miners need to reprogram their FPGA,
- ASIC miners need to replace/upgrade (at least partly) their hardware!
* not implying that DOGE is the alt coin of the future...
Good point.
With scrypt ASICs on the horizon i was thinking about going ASIC rather than building another GPU rig.
At the end of the day GPU rigs for "generic" mining and ASICs for "specialized" mining is prob the way to go.

I'm mining ASICCoing at 5GH/s via BFL device. Not really earning much but i'm piecing together a sweet scrypt rig that will get me 3200Kh/s. Hopefully i can start making something at least. shit!!!

I've read a lot on alt coins and mining techniques and can help anyone trying to start. I've been trading and buying altcoins too which has been fun. Just somewhat risky at times but hey we all know this is a risky biz.

I am very sad because heard about crypto world too late.
My top grafic card that i bought in 2010 - now not so strong for mining, hell, i wish i knew about mining in 2010-2011.
however, i am started mining some day ago and i hope to upgrade my pc with moneys from mining, hope that my pc doesn't die from 24/7 mining. lol
don't have extra money to do upgrade immediatly, so only hope old card will work until i get new card.
Old card will help me to buy new card? unbelievable ))
only must choose right coins to mine..

Cheer up guys, it's NOT too late!
Mass adoption is not there yet: you still can't fund your PayPal account with BTC, you still can't exchange BTC/USD on institutional platforms, you still can't checkout your Amazon order with BTC, etc. BUT IT'S COMING!
As an early adopter, I would simply suggest any newbie here to buy or mine at least 1 BTC. I'm pretty sure it will get you at least a nice sports car in a few years.
*MARK MY WORDS*
If the consumer confidence is still there it might happen. Not that I need a sports car. But imagine there are only 240 mil of something available and there are 9 billion people on the planet or whatever who want to buy it. People keep multiplying at a much higher rate than bitcoin.

Ive been mining for about a month now and enjoying it quiet a bit
Just wondering how many actual miners there are in the newbie community...
I've been mining for about a month
I'm part of a mining pool, really only a newbie to these forums. I've been mining for about a month
Anyone get close to 1BTC/day? If not, how long do you think it would take to get 1BTC from mining. I know it is depend on the mining hardware. Does anyone has a reliable spec for hardware to mine?
just started today with my pc 290 MH/s not that much, but i started as a project i hope to be able tofinance an ASIC pc cause i really need to earn the extra cash because i am in a lot of financial troubbles, i even found a solution for the hardware problem detected in pools after a lot of AMD driver updates lol once i am able to post in the main forum i will share the solution or write me a message
tha't cool
Started mining alt-coins half way through December. Yes, late to the game, but it's also a pretty good investment for my personal computer part situation: Instead of a bunch of medium cards, I got an R9 290x. So even if I make nothing, Ill have a brand new graphics card that blows my old Nvidia 560 out of the water. My friend did the same thing, and we're mining together.
Actually, I'm really tempted to stop and play Tomb Raider and BF4 on ultra with it..

I just installed macminer but 0 coins so far only been doing it a few hours. Not sure I know what I'm doing yet
